Tucker did an outstanding job last night of explaining how much less deadly coronavirus is and how unsuccessful we have been in containing it (we have the clip).
The media and so-called reporters are ignoring the science because it doesn’t fit the narrative. However, you’ve been warned by actual scientists in the field, not desk jockeys like Tony and Deb.
The WSJ found “The speed with which lockdowns were imposed in the U.S. has essentially no correlation with Covid-19 death rates.”
From the Journal:
We ran a simple one-variable correlation of deaths per million and days to shutdown, which ranged from minus-10 days (some states shut down before any sign of Covid-19) to 35 days for South Dakota, one of seven states with limited or no shutdown. The correlation coefficient was 5.5%—so low that the engineers I used to employ would have summarized it as “no correlation” and moved on to find the real cause of the problem. (The trendline sloped downward—states that delayed more tended to have lower death rates—but that’s also a meaningless result due to the low correlation coefficient.)
No conclusions can be drawn about the states that sheltered quickly, because their death rates ran the full gamut, from 20 per million in Oregon to 360 in New York. This wide variation means that other variables—like population density or subway use—were more important. Our correlation coefficient for per-capita death rates vs. the population density was 44%. That suggests New York City might have benefited from its shutdown—but blindly copying New York’s policies in places with low Covid-19 death rates, such as my native Wisconsin, doesn’t make sense.
Watch Tucker’s summary:
Lockdowns are destroying our medical system:
1 in 5 doctors has been furloughed or taken a pay cut as the coronavirus pandemic hits hospitals. Some say they’re considering new jobs. https://t.co/pzuEbebMm3

What are your doctors doing? Many are:
– furloughed
– bored
– in #emptyhospital
– forced to only work #COVID19
– not social distancing
– not working on the job
– misusing equipment
– not allowed to save lives for anything else“Overwhelmed”?

Yet, academic Dr. Birx said this:

She says this as it destroys the U.S. economy and livelihoods:
I think we’ll look back on these last 6 weeks or so and ask, “Why did one of the most advanced economies and societies decide to try and commit suicide over a flu-like virus?” https://t.co/5ofLckzLAy

Democrats want this to continue indefinitely, perhaps into 2021.
Americans are losing their jobs since the virus rocked the economy.
Nancy Pelosi blocks funding for people to keep getting paychecks.
But she’s got a $24K fridge full of ice cream, so she’s cool.

When did science ever justify the layoff we have suffered?
An Inconvenient Truth: This is why I’m getting Fed Up with many MAGA conservatives. They are so hell-bent on being “right” they will ignore anything and everything, and come up with “See Here”. Some of these I had great respect for. No Longer. They are No Different than Leftist Liberals who “choose” incomplete facts and “ignore” anything that opposes them.… Read more »
Thanks for the links. I save them to show others. Sent a couple to a friend who I figured would appreciate the info, she said; “But Jon, look up the flu of 1918. They stopped quarantine and 10x more died when it came back than died the first time!! One link was for the two Cali docs, which Youtube has… Read more »
It’s not the Spanish Flu that’s comparable. It’s the Asian Flu of 1957. In 1917 it was the young and healthy that died. The elderly were better off because of immunity from the 1870’s.
I’ll take my cue from those on the front lines, rather than ‘trust-fund’ kids, cartoonists and twitterati. The others have no skin in the game and are fully isolated from any repercussions. If we are not careful the Cure WILL be worse than the disease. The two doctors, Erickson and Massihi, and the Post article show, conclusively, that the response… Read more »
Well, how nice. ACEP-AAEM has issued a “joint statement” against Erickson and Massihi. It’s quite the disgusting statement, saying the two are doing it for personal financial interests. Did this “special interest group” even bother to watch the entire interview. Their two complaints WERE answered by the doctors. They said others were in agreement, such as ER physicians. The two… Read more »
