Weekly summary 23/2021

Hi,

this is a summary of what was going in the doll world in the 23rd week of 2021, as far as we at Dollstudio & DS Doll Europe were concerned.

1) Corona situation. a) The situation in general. Reported injuries and deaths from or with the Corona injections keep climbing up. The CDC's VAERS system reports 5,888 deaths and 329,021 injuries after the jabs for the U.S. For the EU countries, The EMA'S EudraVigilance system reports 13,867 deaths and 1,354,336 injuries after the jabs. Corona ripple effects like supply chain disruptions and inflationionary tendencies are becoming part of everydays life.

With currently 58 studies including 29 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 still might require some patience, though some shipments make it within about 20 days from mainland China to Europe. Shipping to destinations in North America is almost back to normal with transit times between about one week and two weeks at maximum. Though, there seem to be changes which carriers are used - at the moment, basically all dolls seem to travel with UPS.
