Pandemic?
What pandemic?
I never saw any pandemic.
Saw lockdown diktats and plenty of looting and rioting though.

Exactly, the important data.

[unixfox]

Dr. Yeadon said in the interview that, given the "shape" of all important indicators in a worldwide pandemic, such as hospitalizations, ICU utilization, and deaths, "the pandemic is fundamentally over."

Uh oh, the fake media and the Dems aren't going to like this. You can take off your mask now Joe.

Tucker needs this guy on for a full segment.

The pandemic may very well be over...if there ever really was one in the first place.

OTOH,the Dem Panic is just now shifting into third gear.

“threshold for herd immunity may be much lower than previously thought,”

There was another article where the researcher stated the herd immunity was lower about six weeks ago.

As far as the test, I am convinced colds are giving a false positive. Would love to see if a person has antibodies after a false postive? That would be a good follow up research.

I really don’t quite get what Boris and the UK are doing to their lowly subjects. Punishment for Brexit?

We’ll be locked down as long as it takes to elect a democrat. Then it won’t matter if it’s locked down or not - there is no freedom under a democrat administration.

None of that changes the HOPE for a second wave by some.

In the state of Georgia, we have had only 3 deaths per day reported for COVID in the last 2 days. The death rate is higher for cat-scratch fever than COVID.

Recovered patients, who tested positive for COVID-19 likely not reinfected!

By Yasemin Saplakoglu - Staff Writer April 30, 2020

This phenomenon is likely due to the shortcomings of the coronavirus test*, experts say:

I just finished the book THE PLAGUE AND THE FIRE about the plague in 1664 London.

By 1666 the plague was over when the fire hit. Even then there were a few deaths still from the plague.

Ferguson predicted that Sweden would pay a terrible price for no lockdown, with 40,000 COVID deaths by May 1, and 100,000 by June. Sweden's death count is now 5800. The Swedish government says this coincides to a mild flu season. Although initially higher, Sweden now has a lower death rate per-capita than the US, which it achieved without the terrific economic damage still ongoing in the US. Sweden never closed restaurants, bars, sports, most schools, or movie theaters. The government never ordered people to wear masks.

The entire article is a must read. Send it to your congress critters. Stop the nonsense!

Much ado about nothing...

Bring Out Your Dead

Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.

The purpose of the “Bring Out Your Dead” ping list (formerly the “Ebola” ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.

The false positive rate was 100%.

At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the “Bring Out Your Dead” threads will miss the beginning entirely.

*sigh* Such is life, and death...

If a quarantine saves just one child's or one old fart’s life, it's worth it.

Very interesting as it would seem to be short-circuiting his former employer’s vaccine payday.

Something hinky is going on in NYS.

NYS officials have already copped to counting repeat tests on the same patient as new cases.

But I’m now wondering how much of the spike in new cases Upstate has to do with more and more of the testing being conducted by state.
