I agree with most of those headlines and expressions of
thoughts about COVID-19.
I know that many folks see this thread as a means of scaring
people. It isn’t.
It’s a means of providing information about what is out
there in the way of Cases and Fatalities.
There are discussions all over the forum with folks talking
about how cases are faked or mis-identified. There are
articles on misdiagnosed causes of Fatalities.
None of them provide a comprehensive version of the
cases or Fatalities. They just talk about the problems
without providing anything of substance to replace the
numbers I present.
I provide these numbers. They are on the record. Whether
we buy into the idea they are factual or not, they are
what is out there.
Here I provide them, what changes are taking place, and
what I see as gamesmanship. With this report I just
published, there are strange numbers for California, as
the leading state with New Cases.
They attribute 14k new cases to California. For the last
week or so, the California numbers have been bouncing
around significantly. They just don’t look normal, and
I stated that.
Several times over the last few days we’ve had states
declare over 10k New Cases, then go right back down to
anywhere from 2k to 6k on alternate days.
I want that looked at and discussed.
I would argue that people who fear seeing the data published, analyzed for oddities, calmly discussed, etc., and assume that “scares” others, are themselves rabbits.
For “scare” go to the media. Good grief!
On a different subject, it seems to me that serious / critical cases, while steadily rising, are not doing so at a sustained exponential rate, which would be a lot bigger problem than what we seem to be seeing at present.
I don’t always comment but I try to review your posts everyday. There are certain data points I tend to focus on, such a serious/critical cases to determine hospital utilization. The people who say this is all leftist propaganda have their heads in the sand. This is a serious health problem. I have lost, or almost lost, family and friends to this disease. On the other hand, our media and public health response to this has been deplorable.
Ultimately it is the responsibility of the public to come to an informed decision on what is the best plan for America free from hyperbole and polemic. Your posts help provide the information necessary for that. Thank you.
