ReplyDeleteThey show the 'scary graphs comparing country to country showing the exponential curve.
The same yahoos that brandish a graph with an exponential curve to scare people never studied Fibonacci numbers in school or do not remember them.
(a) It would put things into perspective of for one country they put the graphs of positives, recoveries, and deaths on one graph. WILL THEY DO THIS?
(b) They might also put the numbers of influenza and corona on the same chart.

The H1N1 flu obviously does not kill many people. We were not ready in 2009 and yet the death rate was .03% . The flu started in APR 2009 and 6 months later O'stumbles declared an emergency on 24 OCT 2009.
We also have been exposed or vaccinated against H1N1 a lot

Yet it still claims 30,000 to 80,000 live in the US despite previous exposures and a vaccinations. It is taking sick people. You can only bend the curve so long with entropy.
Corona is taking a tenth of what influenza does.
Flu vaccine probably protects against corona.
probably? evidence?

ReplyDeleteThe attach to the same receptors. That is how they get pulled into the cells. Probably have the same HA's.
There is a university in Pennsylvania that already has a vaccine. Now Fauci who has written mash notes to Hillary Clinton and sucked up to Bono of U2 wants to test if for 12 to 18 months.
They make vaccine for the next flu season in less than 6 months and yet Fauci and the other old men & women want to go slow. Facui is the person, who fucked up out medical research system with his HIV effort.
Holdout Georgia has joined the list of states under stay-at-home orders, but a statement from Gov. Brian Kemp while announcing the restrictions is causing a stir as well. Kemp explained Wednesday that he just learned asymptomatic people with the coronavirus can spread the disease, reports the Hill. "We didn't know that until the last 24 hours," said Kemp. "And as Dr. Toomey told me, this is a game changer for us," he added, referring to state public health chief Kathleen Toomey. Kemp's acknowledgement has led to "shocked reactions" online, notes Newsweek, given that public health officials in the US and around the world have been warning for weeks that asymptomatic people are a particular danger when it comes to spreading COVID-19.
ReplyDelete"The idea that Kemp didn't know this is striking," writes Aaron Blake at the Washington Post. "But he's merely the latest top politician to indicate that he's unfamiliar with the science even as he's making life-or-death decisions for his constituents." Blake's piece notes that Dr. Anthony Fauci said as far back as Jan. 31 that asymptomatic people could "absolutely" spread the coronavirus, and Blake quotes public statements from Fauci and Dr. Deborah Birx (both on the White House task force) to that effect in the ensuing weeks. (Studies abroad, like this one, back up the danger.) It's possible Kemp and officials in Georgia were reacting to comments from CDC chief Robert Redfield on NPR Monday, in which he estimated that 25% of infected people have no symptoms. "That's important," he said, because "we have learned that in fact they do contribute to transmission." (Read more Georgia stories.)
Holdout in Georgia. Well whoop dee doo
