Loading ...Numbers !
WTF is going on ?
In the interest of balance I MUST say… I am surprised at the World Covid numbers escalating rapidly in mid June
So much for the seasonal theory and sunshine theory as well….this thing is taking off !!
Especially in Brazil !!!…completely out of control…Their Freaky leader Bolsinaro has to be screwed
Also in the Southern US States…some serious numbers in Texas Arizona California and Florida where some Ball players for the Phillies tested positive today at their camp in Florida. Looks like that will end the idea of any sports any time soon. Hope not but doesn’t look good from that standpoint either.
Which brings me to another political point
Is Trump Screwed too ?
The Hard Left seems to be in control now…with the Covid narrative going their way and the BLM stranglehold they have managed.
No one dare oppose this Idea BLM…under penalty of losing their job or death !
They have even neutered the police
Lets see what you all think…not just Americans but all of you from the far corners of the world who are in this Gold Community.
New Poll ….vote vote vote.
stand by.
BUT on the flip side Covid seems to be losing its power to kill
The USA Numbers of deaths is decreasing while the case number is escalating
AND now….there are signs that only a small % of people who are confirmed to have covid are testing positive with serology tests for the antibody !
So rather than the 5% of the population said to have had the virus there may be multiples more…which means the all important “death rate ” will be even lower.
You may think that no antibodies = no immunity but a new theory says maybe the antibodies are less important than the T cells. I don’t know enough about the immunes systems inner working to comment…BUT something strange is going on with this thing….which appear to be showing it is more widespread and less lethal than imagined.
Also notice there are still many places untouched by the virus.
The Caribbean Islands …very low cases and deaths
African Countries…..ditto
and Syria !!
Many East Asian countries…ditto
Why ?
…………………..
PS :
More Proof : The Virus is Weakening
According to Worldometer
There are now 3,668,793 Active cases in the World
There are 54,791 serious cases
That’s 98.5% of the cases are Not considered “serious”
Sounds like the Flu to me.
IF the WHO et all acknowledge this..what will be the effect of ongoing escalation of case numbers.
More lockdowns ?
Or perhaps let er rip…get the herd immunity already ?
It is looking more and more like Lockdown or no lockdown you cant stop this virus …but the good news may be that most do not ever know they even had it.
………..
PPS….Why are the US case numbers soaring ?
1…More tests
2…Ending the lockdowns too soon ?
3…The Demonstrations / riots
4…ALL
Notice while the USA #s rise Canada in now logging less than 350 cases a day and fewer and fewer deaths.
We are also opened up and have large demonstrations and are testing a LOT more.
Curioser and Curioser !
Fully
PPPS
“THEY” wanted more cases so they can test their vaccines…and by George they got ’em .
sheesh
Cognitive dissonance……
In the field of psychology, cognitive dissonance occurs when a person holds two or more contradictory beliefs, ideas, or values; or participates in an action that goes against one of these three, and experiences psychological stress because of that.
According to this theory, when two actions or ideas are not psychologically consistent with each other, people do all in their power to change them until they become consistent.
The discomfort is triggered by the person’s belief clashing with new information perceived, wherein they try to find a way to resolve the contradiction to reduce their discomfort.
A person who experiences internal inconsistency tends to become psychologically uncomfortable and is motivated to reduce the cognitive dissonance. They tend to make changes to justify the stressful behavior, either by adding new parts to the cognition causing the psychological dissonance or by avoiding circumstances and contradictory information likely to increase the magnitude of the cognitive dissonance.
Coping with the nuances of contradictory ideas or experiences is mentally stressful.
Small but important point. Brazil is South of Equator. Entering Winter today.
You can say the same thing about the seasonal flu when it comes to the percentage of folks not showing any symptoms. The best percentages for comparison is dealing with symptomatic people. Not perfect, but it is the best we’ve got.

” …that roughly three-quarters of people with seasonal or pandemic flu show either no symptoms or mild ones that aren’t usually linked to flu.”
“[The] flu is more common than we thought, but often less severe than what we had thought,” says Andrew Hayward, an epidemiologist at University College London and the study’s lead author.
