Update: Why Is Everyone in Texas Not Dying? (Jeffrey A. Tucker, AIER)
WNU Editor: This news is certainly contrary to the U.S. media narrative. As to what is my take. I think it is too early to say that we are seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. There are still a lot of places in the world that are not doing well at all, and variants have the potential to change the situation very dramatically in a very short period of time.
Lifting of the mask mandate is just insanity.
ReplyDeleteI am a 63 year old healthy male. Statistically it is almost impossible for me to die of Covid.
ReplyDeleteI live in a county of about 130,000 people. In 2020, we had 32 deaths "related" to Covid. the average age is over 80 and most were in care homes. Meanwhile, county wide the Coroner listed 1250 deaths. Some infants. some teens. The average age of deaths in the county is well below the average age of the Covid "related" deaths. so I say, Meh.......
