That was the point I was getting to under "Covid thoughts".
I noticed that the infection rate wasn't just "decreasing sharply", it's as if it had hit a wall. Run out of potential victims. It's too early to tell, but the last 4-5 data points are interesting.
If so, both the Democrats who were running around with their hair on fire about vaccine mandates, AND Republicans hoping that the Biden* administration would stumble on this issue, would BOTH be wrong.
Somehow, despite lurching from one extreme to another - LOCKDOWNS! FREEDOM! MASKS! THE VAX WILL KILL YOU!- we may have made it to some sort of resting point.
I will probably want booster shots, since I'm STILL in a vulnerable population, and I suppose others in my situation will mostly feel the same.
And we still have to look out for variants that can overcome or evade our immune response from both the vaccine AND natural infection. Evolution doesn't stand still, and there is a giant petri dish out there for nature to perform her experiments.
I hope we've all learned something, but I doubt it. SIX is still thumping his brainless "resistance", DREAMTROVE is still convinced that the vax will kill you, JO still thinks that "they" need to be vaccinated by force, SECOND still brings TRUMP! into every possible discussion, etc etc.
Anti-vaxers will still be paranoid anti-vaxers, and pro-government mandates peeps will still be for government mandates, and almost nobody will bother to look AT REALITY bc they will be far too immersed in their ideology to come up for air.
There's one thing I've learned from this, to: People can be stampeded very easily, and it's not just the goernment doing the stampeding, it's the online nutcases as well as the mendacious M$M.

Looking backwards to look forwards ...
A lot of deaths could have been prevented. We are where we are today with a huge burden of completely avoidable suffering and over 3/4 of a million deaths.
Some countries managed to have almost no deaths, and reached COVID-19 protected status even earlier than we did, with their people and their economies intact.
So are we going to take Jack's lesson? 'If we just close our eyes and minds to suffering and death we'll eventually stumble through anything'?
Or are we going to take the lesson of many successful countries? 'Early intervention works best and fastest to benefit the most people in the most ways'?

I think the data is pretty clear.
Country-wide intervention is important.
Early intervention is best, to keep a pandemic from becoming epidemic in a country.
Once an epidemic has taken hold in a country, restrictions work, but can't be maintained indefinitely.
To date, vaccinations provide superior protection against death, even when 'natural immunity' exists.

With something as infectious as SARS-Cov2, I don't know that you CAN keep it from being established and spreading, UNLESS you have tremendous border control.
Border control has to come first.
After that, I think the next fuckup that happened was the CDC ignoring that one Dr who was using a flu sentinal lab to detect the first case of Covid. And then the CDC insisting on using THEIR test kits, when many health labs were ready and waiting to run samples using their own procedures. Yanno, I understand the desirability of using standardized procedures, but when you're in "survey" mode you don't have the luxury.
After that, lockdowns and then the sourcing of as many N95s as could be produced. Apparently, USA industry is not light on its feet and the military has no expertise in filling an urgent demand. That needs to change.

Oh, BTW, I want to make clear why I'm against vaccine mandates IN THIS CASE.
It's not because I think your (or my) rights are so precious but because IT'S NOT NECESSARY.
The CURRENT vaccine does a good enough job of protecting the vaccinated, and not such a bang-up job of protecting the unvaccinated. So people who refuse the vaccine, even tho it would be medically beneficial for them to get it, are hurting mainly themselves. And, yanno, I'm not in such a hurry to protect people from themselves. It only becomes an issue if it affects my pocketbook, where large sums of tax dollars are extracted from my pocket to pay for people being stupid.
But let me flip the situation around:
Let's say there is a deadly, highly infectious disease that primarily affects the young, and the younger the child, the higher the risk. And let's say that, on-average, it kills 10% of those under 12, and leaves another 5% with permanent, life affecting heart, lung, kidney, or brain damage.
And let's say that by some quirk of the immune system, vaccines don't work on those under-12: it might provide 40% protection against developing severe disease but seems to have a high complication rate at that age. But the vaccine DOES work particularly well in the over-20, providing 95% or better protection against SPREADING the disease.
In that case, I'd have NO PROBLEM mandating vaccines for anyone who has any contact with children, even if it's being in the same grocery store with them, which would be ... well... pretty much everyone except those in nursing homes and assisted living and prisons, And I would quarantine those facilities from receiving young visitors.
So you see, my decision changes with changing circumstances, which would be expected if one is paying atttention to reality AND if one's goal is the collective good of the USA.
"Life, liberty, and the pursuitof happiness" doesn't appear in our Constitution, but it does appear in the Declaration of Independence, and I think they got the order correct:
Your right not to wear a "face diaper" doesn't trump someone else's right to life.

Case in point:
The last paragraph of this article today...

Quote:
A major question I have is whether in their rush to show how determined they are to defend the God-given freedom of Americans to infect oneself and others with a lethal disease, Republican pols and opinion leaders are in danger of unleashing some dark and disruptive forces. When Vance and others started talking about “massive civil disobedience” or pledging non-compliance with the mandate, they brought in the rhetoric of the January 6 insurrectionists with whom they may begin to merge in the public consciousness, particularly if you-know-who smells the tear gas in the air and joins the demands for a rebellion. Nothing would help Joe Biden or his party more in the midterms if it becomes not a referendum on the first two years of his presidency but a referendum on those who continue to reject the legitimacy of the current occupant of the White House.
Not one fucking mention of a years worth of BLM/Antifa riots and looting.
Not one.
The only parallel they can draw is from a few idiots on a single day early this year.
More people die on any given Saturday in Chicago than died on January 6th.
And a lot of those are kids catching stray bullets in the face.

It's not as if the information isn't out there! There are biochemistry texts and sources from outside the USA with different interests and a different slant. Sources which I have REPEATEDLY pointed out.
Instead, at a time when being calm and rational is at premium, you decide to "think" with your adrenals and your ideology; and at a time when looking around for the tidbits of truth that you can find you decide to close your eyes and plug your ears, and become yet ONE MORE source of DISINFORMATION on the web?

My own protection is not taking an untested vaccination.
2/3rds of the people who rushed to get it now are walking around with vaccinations that still aren't approved by the FDA. The other third is walking around with the vaccination created by the highest bidder for FDA approval.
No thanks. There's ZERO ROI for me getting the jab. You can have mine.

Appeal To Authority
The Appeal To Authority is an argument in which some authority figure (whether it be a person, a book, or an association/institution, etc) is held up as the sole reason to believe or disbelieve a given conclusion.
Appeal To The Masses
An Appeal To The Masses is one of the laziest, weak minded, and philosophically revealing fallacies one can engage in. In short, this is the form of such an argument:
X is true because everyone (or a majority of people) believes it.
But look up the definitions yourself, if you don't believe these.

well, guess that caveat about "herd immunity" applying to BLOOD DONORS is an important one, because I just checked DIVOC-91 and those last four or five points of the USA have suddenly reversed themselves - the latest point is higher than the last high point. So the "cases" curve has resumed it's steady march upwards.
Worse, the "deaths" curve- which is really what this is all about- has not only not started to heel over, the last point just shot up, well beyond the expected trend.
I GUESS WE BETTER PUT THE CORK BACK IN THE CHAMPAGNE BOTTLE, SIX!
To drill down where this is all coming from ...
The state with the shockingly high per-capita "cases" is TN, which is almost twice as high as the next state, which is Kentucky. So, "new cases", in top-down order oer capita:
TN* (*takes the booby prize for the day)
KY
AK
WY
WV
SC
NC
GA
OK
ID
IN ... COMING YOUR WAY, SIX!
In terms of deaths per capita, it's
FL
MS
GA
AR
LA
SC
TX, TN, NC, WV and possibly one other state bc they're all printed on top of each other
But since overall USA numbers aren't driven by state "per capita" numbers, the states with the highest total number of new deaths are
FL
TX
GA
CA
NC
TN ... and after that, they're all displayed on top of each other so it's impossible to figure out

Anyway, **I** believe that there's a big Eye of Sauron in the sky, seeing all with malevolent intent. The only problem is that I can't convince everyone, or even anyone, they need to be careful - to not get its attention, to not provoke it in any way. They keep asking me for evidence. And they keep pointing out no one has ever seen it, or measured it, or detected it in any way, despite all the technology and simple human vision directed upwards. But that's the big trick. The Eye of Sauron is carefully hidden so no one can see it. That's how it does its work. Capiche? The reason why you can't see it is exactly because it's there. It all makes sense.
No, I really don't believe that. I'm just pointing out that the difference between reality and imagination (or delusion) is evidence.

JSF: You don't read very well. There's a difference between seeing that there may be SOME falsified data, as opposed to believin that ALLof the data, worldwide, is falsified, as SIX does. Because SIX had repeated, categorically, that NOBODY has died of Covid, at all, anywhere.
"Diversity hires" in..... Iran? China? India? Brazil?
Besides, what would it benefit Iran, say, or N Korea, which have been shut out of most of the civilized world, to admit that they have a Covid-19 problem? all it does is make their governments look weak and unsuccessful, in the eyes of the world. As far as I can tell, there is no ROI, as SIX would say, to tell the world that a large part of your leadership has keeled over fomr Covid (Iran) or that you have food shortages because of Covid (N Korea). It's not going to win them any points, either at home OR abroad.
And I don't know what delusion you have about AIDS, but whatever it is, I'd sure like to see some EVIDENCE for it.

You don't get to win arguments by claiming anything anybody else says is a logical fallacy and pretending that you're smarter than everybody else.
You should probably just drop that line of bullshit while you're ahead.

SIX's problem is that he's oppositional and he's against 1) higher education and 2) anything that anyone in "authority" has said (and that seems to include pre-Covid and well-establised understanding of biochemistry). And once he's staked out a public position (Trump will win, Republicans will take the house, or what-have-you) he can't admit he was wrong. Ever. He just waits until events carry the discussion past his wrong predictions/proclamations so they will fade from history.
That's not working with Covid because it's an ongoing problem, and the longer it has gone on the more and more oppositional he's become about it, rejecting (as I ptsed) even pre-Covid, well-established understanding of viruses, genetics, biochemistry etc. I've tried pointing out Chris Martensen's videos as a non-establishment guy who digs into the biochemistry, but SIX won't make use of the info out there.
Which is weird bc he's quite capable of learning online about all kinds of other things, like computer programming and home renovation, and is otherwise an intelligent guy who can start on a wrong approach and self-correct.

AFA JSF ... I don't know what's going on with him, he doesn't post very much, but he appears to be genuinely hidebound about what he "knows" and unwilling to admit that he's wrong, or that there's something "out there" that he DOESN'T know that's important.
It seems like people commit to a POV/conclusion and don't take the stance that they should act like an ongoing jury: listening to the evidence, no matter how difficult to understand or parse, come to a measure decision, and revise their opinion if new evidence comes to light.
When this whole Covid thing began, I was all about masking, because early studies seemed to show that it could reduce (if nothing else) the number of virus particles that people were hit with, and potentially give their immune systems a head start. But in the real world, with all of the "face coverings" out there, the idea doesn't seem very effective. It DOES decrease the number of infections by a few percent, so I guess it's better than nothing, but certainly wouldn't allow us to go "back to normal" and I wouldn't rely on it as a strategy against Covid-19.

TOTALLY BIASED "REPORTING"

Why Does No One Ever Talk About Sweden Anymore?
Friday, Sep 17, 2021 - 03:30 AM
Via 'Unmasked" substack,
One of the most consistently repeated trends of COVID has been the premature declarations of victory from areas with a perceived level of “success” in “controlling” the pandemic.
It’s happened in countries all over the world — Vietnam, Japan, Taiwan, Australia, Mongolia — just to name a few examples. They all have been praised for their ability to “control” the virus with masks and public health measures, only to then see cases invariably skyrocket.
https://www.zerohedge.com/covid-19/why-does-no-one-ever-talk-about-swe
den-anymore
Well, yes, We've heard much about Sweden.
At one time I compared Sweden to Finland and it nearest neighbor, demographically and geographically, Norway,
So, how DOES it stack up to other nations in terms of controlling Covid-19?
First of all, overall the sequence of peaks in cases and deaths doesn't match. There is an early peak in "deaths" UNACCOMPANIED for the most part by "cases" because the lack of test kits early on prevented a confirmed SARS-Cov2 infection, altho clinical picture and excess deaths support the attribution to Covid. After that, "cases" and "deaths" show the expected correlation.
SWEDEN'S basic numbers per 100,000
Cases, peaks: 73, 60, 10 (delta)
Deaths, peaks: early (before "cases") 1, midpoint 1.6, late (delta) near zero
AUSTRALIA
Cases: near zero thru the duration until (delta) when it rose to 7
Deaths: (early) 0.08, then near zero, currently (delta) 0.03
ISRAEL
Cases, three peaks, (early midoint) 70, (midpoint) 90, and (delta) 110
Deaths, (early midpoint) 0.4, (midpoint) 0.7, (delta) 0.3
NOTE: Israel missed the first wave of death
JAPAN
Cases: (midpoint) 5, (late midpoint) 4, (delta) 20 and dropping
Deaths (Midpoint) 0.08, (late midpoint) 0.08, (delta) 0.03
NOTE: Japan missed the first waves of death. Also, Japan's population is elderly
NORWAY
Cases (midpoint) 12, (late midpoint)17, (delta) 27
Deaths (early) 0.2 early, (midpoint) 0.1 (delta) near 0.
NOTE: Norway is Sweden's nearest geographic, cultural and demographic neighbor. Its death rate has been near zero except when otherwise noted.
VIETNAM
Cases: near zero until (delta), where it has leveled off at 13.
Deaths: appx 0.3 throughout
So, in terms of controlling Covid-19, Sweden has NOT done a fantastic job, and all of the other nations that this article tries to spin as "failures" have been more successful, some wildly so.
The authors COULD have argued that the economic price to pay for avoiding all of that suffering and death was too high. But that would have meant a messy argument about values, so they decided to be dishonest and spin the data instead.

EDITED TO ADD UNITED STATES per 100,000 (for comparison)
Cases: (early midpoint) 20, (midpoint) 70, 75*, (delta) 55
Deaths: (early) 0.7, (early midpoint) 0.3, (midpoint) 0.85, 1.1, (delta) 0.6
* The USA is geographically large and politically diverse, and had MANY "waves" of infections and deaths - some larger than others- as SARS-CoV2 spread into new areas. There were two more identifiable "waves" that I didn't mention because they weren't as significant.

Oh, "they're" messsing with me?
WHY?
Think this one thru (for a change) SIX:
What POSSIBLE motivation would - say- SWEDEN - have to convince me, and the rest of the world, that they have a Covid-19 problem if they didn't? ESPECIALLY since their manner of "dealing with it" (stay open, let the old folks die) only brought them a lot of worldwide criticism?
Wouldn't it be far easier for them to fudge the numbers DOWNWARDS? Make their numbers look more like - say- Vietnam's? Then they could boast Success!! Our approach not only saved the economy, it saved LIVES!
Another example: Iran. NOT in favor with the liberal west. WHY would they admit that their elder mullahs, their religious and cultural elite, were keeling over like bowling pins at a bowling alley when all it would get them would be back-of-hand sniggers Oh look, those religious anti-science nutjobs are getting sick because they didn't believe that Covid was a virus? Wouldn't it have been far easier for them to "reclassify" or ignore a whole bunch of illness and death so they could claim Success! Allah has struck down the infidel and protected the faithful!
I could - and have- already named several nations that have no internal political or foreign policy reasons to claim deaths that haven't occurred. There are, however, nations (like India) that have an interest in claiming success that hasn't happened.
You're interpreting the entire world as if it was Indianna.

When we're at about 10-20 new cases per day across the nation (not 2000, or 1500), I guess the virus has gotten as far as it's going to go. At that point, we've probably reached "herd immunity".
