But that’s not even the most important part of their latest estimates. It’s the CDC’s new “best estimate” for the case fatality rate amongst symptomatic patients.But, before I got to that, I should note that back in March, the World Health Organization (WHO) estimated a 3.4 percent fatality rate and Dr. Anthony Fauci estimated that the fatality rate of … Read more
SARS CoV2 has pantsed the Centers for Disease Control. Not an uncommon problem for a bureaucracy pretending to be a competent agency. One of many (too many) waddling about with a coffee in one hand and a cruller in the other, suddenly wide-eyed at the sound of the alarm.
Much ado about masks these days and around our humble shop. Pages and pages of news and opinion about this idiot or that. New Hampshire Democrats, mostly, engaged in mask warfare. Sowing fears to reap political rewards, but we’re having none of that here.
It seems the Health Officer in the Town of Washington, NH, has been either relieved of his duties or resigned a day after trying to force the local store into compliance with an outdoor seating ordinance which does not exist.
John Klar at American Thinker is thinking about the death knell for thousands of jobs in Vermont. COVID-19 may have killed 55 people (if that’s what killed them), but many thousands of livelihoods are on the line in the Green Mountain State, which got me thinking. Is anyone keeping track of the Granite State?
Notice the two weeks of increased testing: the curve has been broken. Past performance is no harbinger of the future but it looks like that the first goalpost has been met. Nice to see that the increased testing has not gone hand in hand with a large number of positive testing. It is increasingly clear … Read more
The U.S. Code of Federal Regulations defines terrorism as: The unlawful use of force and violence against persons or property to intimidate or coerce a government, the civilian population, or any segment thereof, in furtherance of political or social objectives. The more you look at our own government’s response to the COVID-19 virus, the better it … Read more
America’s response to the coronavirus pandemic has been unprecedented. The complete shutdown of our national economy is truly historic. Not since World War II have Americans experienced such widespread anxiety, unrest, and economic hardship.
FreedomWorks has issued a governor’s Report Card. They analyzed the various response and reopening strategies in each state on a handful of points (mostly the economic damage) and gave each effort a grade. How did your state do?
Neurosurgeon, Dr. Russel Blaylock, has ‘penned’ an op-ed in Technocracy that points out the dangers from increased use of face masks. The two key takeaways from the piece are that there’s no evidence they do anything and that wearing them can cause you harm.
Mayor Jim Donchess and some Nashua aldermen have expressed a desire to mandate the wearing of masks in Nashua businesses, on penalty of a fine, to slow the spread of COVID-19.
Yes, the ubiquitous Hitler in the Bunker – there are lots of them on all kinds of issues. This one, however, takes a smack at lots of things and people. Best line attributed by Hitler on Nancy Pelosi: “She can’t even keep her dentures in”: Heh!
Reformatted, emphasis mine: As Heritage Foundation researchers have demonstrated throughout the pandemic, the spread of COVID-19 in the U.S. has been extremely concentrated in a small number of states—and among a small number of counties within all states. As of May 11, for example, 10 states accounted for almost 70% of all U.S. cases and nearly 75% … Read more
A scientific question takes the form ‘If I make this change over here, what change happens over there?’ Anything else is a non-scientific question. In particular, engineering questions and moral questions are not scientific questions.
Throughout the Coronavirus crisis, the prevailing mindset has treated one viewpoint as sacred and the other as morally reprehensible. Now, we find ourselves in a “new normal,” where only the health and safety of others is viewed as sacred and inviolable.
The Chinese Flu has created plenty of opportunity for fraud—email fraud, phone fraud, medical fraud, bank fraud, you name it. The progressive globalists are not the only criminals looking to take advantage of you. States have set up web sites to help keep you informed. But irony alert – check out New Jersey.
Sweden is not a socialist country, but its soft quasi-socialism central planning has long had the American left pining. Let’s do that here! Just ask Bernie of the Bros any question, and they’ll find a way to get Sweden into the conversation. But the American left is mad at Sweden because of its response to COVID-19.
All I hear about in economic news is the unemployment rate and how high it is. Surprise!
“Experts” discuss what will happen when we get back to normal. At least the experts admit we are not in normal times. Thank God for small admissions.
Just as when Ricky Riccardo told Lucy she had some splainin to do when she made a mess of things (way back when in the “I Love Lucy” TV series), Governor Sununu also has some splainin to do (as well as his advisors) for the mess they have put NH in. Their policies are killing … Read more
All we are going to hear from the NH Democrat Party is yammering about how DARE we, not all do mail-in voting (er, don’t pay attention to that “ballot harvesting” technique behind the smoke and curtain). And how DARE you put people at risk for simply wanting to exercise their Constitutional Right to vote!
