Study from Japan surrounding infection rate and anitbody rate. Preseented without commentary. Just found it interestinghttps://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2020.04.26.20079822v1.full.pdf
https://blogs.scientificamerican.com/observations/comparing-covid-19-deaths-to-flu-deaths-is-like-comparing-apples-to-oranges/Really great article highlighting why this is not just a bad flu. Goes through the fact that flu-deaths are grossly over-reported, due to outdated alogrithms/testing with the goal of encouraging vaccination. Part of it dating back to days we did not have good ways to rapidly test for flu, we do now.Shows that if you compare the flu and COVID using the same methods of testing, than COVID is between 7.5-44x more deadly than the worst of the flus.I've talked with a lot of ER docs, who find this disease to be the most frightening thing they have experienced.
This is such a cool chart:https://www.apple.com/covid19/mobilitySearch for your city .. you can see, over time, walking/driving/transit trends.
I am not sure the folks who use Apple Maps necessarily represent society as a whole.
Yep - they don't even represent iPhone users as a whole. I have always used iPhones, but the first thing I install is the Google Maps app because Apple Maps are really bad. Same with nearly every iPhone user I know.Maybe it's a representative sample of: (1) Apple employees; and (2) iPhone users who don't realize they can use Google Maps on their iPhones.
The Maps app on the iPhone was bad like 8 years ago. Now the only navigation app for driving worth adding if you aren't using Maps is Waze.
Waze and google maps use the same database/program/software.
Possible math:When Gallup does a national poll, they get 1,000 responses for a MOE of 4 points.Apple Maps has 23m monthly users, so 766k data points (per day) for each of their graphing chart points .. with a sample size of that magnitude, the MOE is pretty tiny, regardless of the self-selected "Apple Maps" category of human.
Dr. Fauci will not be allowed to testify before a House Coronavirus Task Force panel next week. White House is blocking it. Sound familiar?
That is seriously weird. Others who have not been allowed to testify over these past few years haven't been trotted out in front of the public several times a week. Fauci has been allowed to "testify" to tens of millions of people repeatedly. I wonder what President Pandemic is afraid of here.
U of Minnesota report projects that the virus could be with us for another 18 months to 2 years.https://twin-cities.umn.edu/news-events/new-report-cidrap-university-minnesota-outlines-covid-19-realities-advises-next-stepsTheir Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy is very well respected. I hope they are wrong, but....
CNN had a similar story weeks ago and some members here jumped on me for sharing it.
Weird, Cheeks loved to let everyone know he was a victim all the time too.
Obviously he doesn't want to look like an idiot. What is the point of Fauci's testimony? It's political theater and it would probably lead to Fauci getting axed.So what is there to gain? Make Trump seem stupid? I think he can handle that just fine on his own.
