Science no longer justifies lockdowns & the destruction it wreaks (quick read)

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:

Yet, academic Dr. Birx said this:

She says this as it destroys the U.S. economy and livelihoods:

Democrats want this to continue indefinitely, perhaps into 2021.

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.

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 since taken down many of you know.
There’s a link in the following story to their full video:: https://teapartyorg.ning.com/forum/youtube-removes-viral-video-of-two-california-doctors-disputing-s

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 is affecting necessary medical care. With the “new” policy the situation may be more problematic. We are suppose to have 14 days of a downward curve, but at the same time we need to ramp up testing dramatically. What is the likely outcome. With more testing we will see a noticeable rise, especially in asymptomatic cases. This alone will change the “direction” of the curves to one of rising and the 14 day wait will be reset.

That means we are back to the status of today. People damn well better wake up. If we continue this country will return to the days of the Great Depression. That is untenable. During the Great Depression there Were people who were unaffected as there is today. We no longer have the local supply chains as were in the past. Our supply chains today are more stressed than at any time in history. The more we allow the economy to falter the more danger to the supply chain. It’s time to hold those responsible who keep undermining our economic system with false comparisons.

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 were also asked whether their information is peer-reviewed. Answer, that takes a year or two. Are we willing to destroy an economy, which destroys a country in order to wait for peer-reviewed studies. This joint statement is about as hollow as can be. There were quite a few “medical experts” that were willing to keep a lockdown going until a non-existent vaccine came about. I would be interested to find out if they agreed with Fauci and Birx on a lockdown until such time the curve was flattened in order to remove the burden on hospitals. We are well past that. In typical fashion by “experts” the goalpost Has been moved down the field. Of course this statement has been used by the same hysteria crowd that said the end of the world is near.
