Weekly summary 04/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 4th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Coronavirus situation. a) The pandemic situation in general. The Corona plandemic proceeds , and lockdowns are enforced in numerous countries around the globe. On the other hand, Ivermectin is recognized in more and more regions like North Macedonia, Zimbabwe, Nicaragua (prophylactic protocol for healthcare workers), Cali (Colombia), La Pampa and Corrientes (Argentinia), Peru ('home treatment kit'), Panama, Mexico City, Slovakia, Lebanon, and Iran - It is still a fact that the SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. There are scientifically proven COVID-19 prophylaxis and treatment protocols like I-MASK+ and MATH+ available. Also, evidence is mounting that SARS-CoV-2 might not have a natural origin (e.g. furin cleavage site). Last but not least, resistance is forming, especially against the rigged application of PCR tests which can result in up to 93% false positives by running the analysis with a high cycle threshold (> 30).

For background information:

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

b) Impact on the doll business. The 'hard lockdowns' and restrictions for international trade cause severe delays for doll shipments, even though some packages make it relatively fast to destinations like North America. These effects will be amplied through Chinese New Year holidays. Since several regions in China are under lockdowns before CNY, no smooth resolution is to be expected as several doll makers have already indicated.
