"...for COVID-19 patients but only 22,000 were hospitalized that day."
Amici,
I
know most of you are sick to death of my going on about the virus, etc.
but I keep finding the most incredible news. The above quote sums up my
absolute frustration with is what is going on. There's a lot of news
like this, if you know where to look.
The paragraph it is excerpted from reads (highlights mine):
And just as happened with the climate change agenda,
farfetched models with incomplete, untested data drive public policy decisions.
Anyone who disputes the experts or challenges the assumptions must hate the
environment or the children or the future. (In the case of COVID-19, you must
hate grandma.) Anyone who laments the destruction of the economy is a
heartless, greedy money-grubber. “Profits over people!” the detractors are
taunted. The goalposts keep moving, doomsday is extended, but harsher and harsher
actions are nonetheless demanded from above.
So, what if, as Trump accurately said
just a week ago, the cure is worse than the disease? What if Murray’s models
are woefully off by a factor of five or even 10 but it’s too late to salvage
jobs or small businesses? His data is already way off: As of March 31, Murray
predicted the U.S. would need 98,000 hospital beds for COVID-19 patients but
only 22,000 were hospitalized
that day.
Will the White House, much like Glacier National Park,
just change the message while the agitators escape any accountability?
The author
of this piece covers Global Warming, usually. I myself have noted many
parallels between Global Warming and this virus mess. The main
difference seems to be the time scale: the virus will kill us within
weeks or months; Global Warming will take decades to finish us off. (In
fact, the state authorities in New York were preparing for catastrophe
for the past decade or so, just not for a viral contagion, but for
Global Warming! Incredible!) We just screamingly need honest,
large-scale and accurate information about both global temperatures and
the virus, but we cannot remotely get that on the former, and the latter
is only slowly coming forward.
Apparently,
park authorities used to have signs up at Glacier National Park in
Montana asserting that the glaciers would melt away in 2020, or begin
seriously melting away in 2020. They quietly took them down last year, and
altered other Global Warming propaganda (pamphlets, etc.). The author
of the above piece points out that never do these "bad predictors"? (or
"False Prophets"?) of Doom ever get punished, or even have to publicly
recant, their bad predictions. But their bad predictions affect the
lives of millions.
Neill
Ferguson at the Imperial College in London is such a one. His
predictions of doom he has now changed to peeps of doom, (I guess I can
say peeps). A Democrat operative group in the U.S., "Covid Act Now",
spread Ferguson's (and other) false predictions far and wide, profoundly
affecting out economic situation.
So,
friends, beware. Very much so. The virus is real. China clearly dumped
it on us, only beginning to restrict traffic from Wuhan two months after
they new they had a problem (and notice they blame the American
military for the disease, not the CIA; this might mean they're planning a
military strike on us "in retribution".) The virus is contagious and
can easily be deadly to older folks (not by any means all of them. And people like me who have "prior conditions". But we can't let it crash the civilization.
There is good news out there, though of course it doesn't get MSM reportage. For example, this news is extremely significant, in which a Dr. Stephen Smith, an infectious disease specialist in Roseland,
New Jersey, affiliated with multiple hospitals, has announced test
results from 50 patients receiving H-C that mirrors the French study.
(Zsofi has a friend whose husband has come down with the virus, so it is
around these parts, it seems.) Smith's study is great news in itself,
of course: it fits in with a pattern of such research.
There has yet to be a proper clinical test for this hypothesis, but such
take time to set up and (in normal times) months to carefully evaluate.
Therefore, we must rely on what info we're getting. The Wall Street Journal
had an article a while ago (now behind one of their infamous paywalls)
about where this facility of H-C via COVID was first noticed: apparently
someone reported that at a hospital in Wuhan, doctors noticed that a
group of lupus sufferers (lupus killed Flannery O'Connor, btw) were
seemingly immune from the virus and its disease. Apparently the French
doctor, Didier Raoult, picked the idea up from that report (the Chinese
later issued a report on another study -- one called into question for
its very small size, and other issues -- that said H-C didn't work, but
the cat was out of the bat guano bag).
So, it goes. Bit by bit.
Good
news, ominous signs from Communist China, a growing death count that
thankfully is not growing as fast as the "prophets" predicted, and the
worst unemployment numbers ever recorded: 6.6 million, in fact. That, my friends, is "not sustainable".
