Weekly summary 53/2020

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 53rd week of 2020, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

This is the last weekly summary for 2020. When you are reading this, you have already made it into 2021 - gratulations, the new year can only get better, can't it?

1) Coronavirus situation. a) The pandemic situation in general. The play continues as scripted. On one hand: Increasing numbers with positive test results (incorrectly called 'infections' or 'cases') are being fabricated. Lockdowns everywhere. Civil rights suspended. Surveillance. Restrictions even during Christmas holidays and New Year celebrations. On the other hand: Efficacious treatment and prophylaxis protocols keep getting suppressed intentionally, most notably the I-MASK+ and MATH+ protocols. Manipulation and censorship all around the world, in mass media and even on social media, most notably Youtube and Farcebook. The free world has lost their voice.

What hellhole has the world become.

However, the solution to the pandemic exists for months:

• COVID-19 treatment and prophylaxis - How to avoid infections and deaths

Here are the scripts which are currently played on the global stage:

• Pandemic planning exercises 2001-2019

Check out the 'Lock Step' scenario from 2010 and the 'Event 201' from 2019.

b) Impact on the doll business. Mostly total standstill for all shipments since end of December due to a mix of holidays and lockdowns.
