Weekly summary 26/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 26th week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Corona situation. a) The situation in general. Proper Corona treatment is still denied in many countries around the world. With currently 61 studies including 32 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 to EU destinations have normalized. Shipping to destinations in North America is back to normal with transit times of about one week. At the moment, most dolls still travel with UPS. Considering the global situation, it is expected that things will remain quiet during Summer, but it might get bad again in fall and winter.

2) New arrivals.

This week, four new heads were introduced:

• 6Ye Premium no. 103 head (= 6Ye no. 103) - TPE
