Thanks, HB. What an important report, though you can guarantee it will not see the light of day in certain sections of the media.

And it basically lends confirmation to my view that the virus is quite rapidly losing virulence, and those now testing positive are generally experiencing a very low viral load.
A quick perusal of Italy and Spains (two of the hardest hit countries) steadily decreasing fatalities demonstrates this.

As this evidence continues to come in, one hopes that there will now be a widespread steady lifting of no longer evidentially justified social restrictions across the world, allowing for all current international drug clinical trials to resume normal processes.
In many international trials, conducting of routine trial procedures has been difficult or near impossible.

One hopes that the DCVax trial processes had already virtually completed before restrictions were adopted, and that any outstanding loose ends can be rapidly tied up.

“In reality, the virus clinically no longer exists in Italy,” said Alberto Zangrillo, the head of the San Raffaele Hospital in Milan in the northern region of Lombardy, which has borne the brunt of Italy’s coronavirus contagion.

“The swabs that were performed over the last 10 days showed a viral load in quantitative terms that was absolutely infinitesimal compared to the ones carried out a month or two months ago,” he told RAI television.

Italy has the third highest death toll in the world from COVID-19, with 33,415 people dying since the outbreak came to light on Feb. 21. It has the sixth highest global tally of cases at 233,019.

However new infections and fatalities have fallen steadily in May and the country is unwinding some of the most rigid lockdown restrictions introduced anywhere on the continent.

Zangrillo said some experts were too alarmist about the prospect of a second wave of infections and politicians needed to take into account the new reality.

“We’ve got to get back to being a normal country,” he said. “Someone has to take responsibility for terrorizing the country.”
