Weekly summary 19/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 19th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Coronavirus situation. a) The situation in general. In some European countries, lockdowns have been partially lifted. Though, the old normal is still not back. Reported injuries and deaths from or with the Corona injections keep climbing up with frightening pace.

Though, with 55 studies including 28 Randomized Controlled Trials (RCTs) reporting positive effects of Ivermectin, there is sufficient research proving the efficacy of Covid-19 prophylaxis and treatment protocols like I-MASK+ and MATH+ available. Also, as reported in the Lancet, inhalation of Budesonid can reduce the probability of severe courses of disease by 90%. These are clear indications that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. For what plausible reason is treatment and prophylaxis with Ivermectin or Budesonid still suppressed? #FollowtheScience.

For background information:

• COVID-19 treatment and prophylaxis - How to avoid infections and deaths
• Pandemic planning exercises 2001-2019

• Facts about Covid-19 (SPR)

b) Impact on the doll business. International transit times for doll shipments require a lot of patience. Several shipments to Europe are traveling since March. Shipping to destinations in North America is a lot faster and UPS carries more doll shipments.
