Weekly summary 47/2020

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 47th week of 2020, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Coronavirus situation.

a) The pandemic situation in general. If the plan is actually to drive the world into it's worst crisis since people remember, everything proceeds according to 'plan' – most parts of Europe are buried with a 2nd wave of lockdowns, and busybodies already ask for tighter lockdowns and more restrictions. What those wannabe-ringleaders do not mention is: The whole pandemic could be over within days by following three simple steps.

• Step 1: Everybody wears a mask when in contact with others to protect yourself and your fellows. The low infection rates in East Asia and Southeast Asia are a strong indicator that wearing masks works.
• Step 2: Everybody takes care to bring up his own immune system up to speed, most notably with proper vitamin D3 + Zinc + Selenium levels. Studies have shown, that the risk of getting incected can be reduced by 90% with a sound immune system, and additionally, a possible disease course would be massively eased as a bonus. No need for thousends of ICU units or ventilators if people take care of their own immune system!
• Step 3: For the remining few infections – about 1/10 of what is currently reported –, provide treatments with proven and widely available drugs like Ivermectin which have proven efficacy in numerous studies. All the treatment details have been documented in depth for months, e.g. with the FLCCC Alliance's MATH+ protocol.

You can take care of your own destiny right now by 'preparing your terrain' (step 2). Your immune system is your own line of defense against any coronavirus, be it an ordinary cold, a regular flu or Covid-19. There is absolutely no reason to 'wait' for an unproven vaccination which might or might not become available within the next couple of months. These three simple steps could be implemented within days and forcefully stop the pandemic right away.

b) Impact on the doll business. The second wave of lockdowns have started to delay shipments to EU destinations, similar to the impact of spring lockdowns. The last UPS special line shipments took about 30 days, the current ones are expected to take at least 45 days. For shipments to North America, freight capacities have decreased, again, and shipping costs are stating to rise, as in spring. Shipping a life-sized dolls costs now about $100 more than two weeks ago.
