Weekly summary 09/2021
Hi,
this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 9th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.
1) Coronavirus situation. a) The situation in general. In the U.S., Texas and Mississippi canceled to participate in the Coronavirus cabal, requirements to wear masks and restrictions in restaurants have been lifted. Ohio and Michigan are considering similar steps. Though, most coutries Europe remain under emergency laws, suffocating small and medium-sized businesses and completely ignoring scientific evidence. With now 44 studies including 23 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. The SARS-CoV-2 virus is similarily managable like any other easily transmissible virus. #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)
With anal swabs, a new instrument for humiliation has been established in China for residents and recently as well for travelers from abroad who visit the PRC. And the vaccinations seem not to work as advertised; in the demographic group of people over 80, in January and February there were as many deaths as in the whole year of 2020. A lot of people die shortly after getting the injections, and many suffer from adverse effects. Considering the mechanism how these gene therapies work, it is to be expected that a lot of people will develop Covid-19-like symptoms after getting the injections. These effects might be labeled as fourth and fifth wave of Covid-19 in the upcoming months.
b) Impact on the doll business. So far, no shipments from after CNY holidays were delivered, so we need to work with predictions from Chinese shipping agents. According to their experience, shipments to North America are supposed to take about two weeks. Shipments to EU destinations with import fees clearance take between two weeks (DHL special line, only available for miniature dolls) and 60+ days (UPS special line, full sized dolls). Small items like separate heads can not be shipped with the special services anymore, so we have set up a new method for import fees clearance and freight forwarding. However, within the EU, a new test strategy has been implemented, requiring every truck driver to make a Covid-19 test when crossing from one country into another. For Germany alone, there are 150,000 of such border crossings, so road cargo is expected to be delayed by factor 2-3.
