Creating a timeline for covid
Google Trends as a window into our collective covid consciousness
Canada probably had one of the longest arcs with covid in the world. That said, our interest in covid matters appears to have peaked around the end of 2021. In some cases, our interest in a covid phenomenon may be even shorter, i.e. intense interest in toilet paper around May 2020.
For those of us still contending with the after-effects of covid, whether due to legal, financial, health or some other disruption, covid may not feel “over.”
For covid hangover sufferers then, here is a bit of graphical therapy, as seen through the eyes of Google Trends. Happily, many of the challenging themes of covid have subsided.
Here is Canada’s interest compared with the US (red), the UK (yellow), and France (green). It appears that for all four countries, interest flared up at the end of 2021 and then died out.
Interest in vaccines followed the same pattern in Canada, with interest dying out at the end of 2021.
While interest in vaccines and covid has returned to a zero interest, other topics appear to have more staying power. Here, for example, is myocarditis:
Here is turbo cancer:
Here is long covid:
Happily, interest in cancer has not changed in the past few years. It continues to draw more interest than long covid:
Heart attack and stroke show no change in interest over the past 5 years, while “sudden death” had a peak of interest in July 2022:
SOCIO-POLITICAL TERMS
Vaccine passport interest subsided in early 2022:
same for the Truck Convoy:
MEDICAL SYSTEM
ICU interest subsided at the end of 2021. It has an interesting pattern of peaks.

Hi Jean

What causes a cold or respiratory dis-ease?
The establishment’s model of blood and lung physiology FAILS under scrutiny. I’ll explain why.
We breathe air not oxygen.
Air is measured by its moisture or humidity Eg its at 45% humidity today
Oxygen is measured by its dryness Eg medical oxygen has 67parts per million or less of water contamination.
The lung alveoli requires air reaching it to be at 100% humidity, that is dew point.
Can you comprehend the mis-match?
Oxygen is manufactured by stripping air of moisture. Oxygen is a product of air NOT a constituent of air.
There is no wild/natural oxygen in air. Oxygen becomes nitrogen with the addition of carbon particles to become a non-flammable version of oxygen. I have a link to a demonstration of this on my stack, a home oxygen concentrator is used.
The lungs are responsible for re-hydrating the red blood cells as they pass through the alveoli capillaries with salt water. The red blood cells are salt water sponges.
The saline intravenous drip rehydrates red blood cells and aids the lungs.
The insult that causes respiratory dis-stress is dehydration. It’s seasonal because cold air holds the least moisture and indoor room air often dries out with heating.
The dry mucosa must re-establish itself and the production of mucus goes into overdrive. The mucosa requires salt and moisture and it will move both from any bodily reserves. This causes pain as the extraction process goes into motion.
Now you know why the old remedies are successful.
Salt water gargles, nasal irrigations/inhalations and chicken soup / bone broth soups.
Sanatoriums were built along coastlines to take advantage of sea spray because it was known to heal injured lungs.
It is time the COMMONS reclaimed the knowledge of hydration and healing.
Hydration equals salt plus water.
Healing begins with hydration.
Oxygen’s toxicity is directly related to its power to dehydrate. Reactive oxygen species ROS describes damage due to dehydration.
Oxygen on release from a container will extract moisture from its surroundings to become air, its natural state. Oxygen released inside the respiratory tract extracts moisture from the mucosa and the delicate alveoli causing dehydration. This can kill.
Oxygen is a prescribed drug. It is primarily prescribed for the terminally ill. Palliative care is not kind.
We all need to comprehend the difference between air and oxygen. Read the material safety data sheets for oxygen and nitrogen. Both have unconsciousness and not breathing listed under inhalation.
