Covid 3/5/22

Human behavior is the missing link in most covid analysis. A lab experiment/outcome drove the “science” from mask to vaccination. In general one has to start from somewhere and initially it made sense. However as the data came in we can clearly see human behavior played a large role. Many counties with mask mandates had high confirmations even greater than counties that could care less about mask and vaccine mandates. How is that possible when the science and logic intuition would say something is being reduced? Even the worse data sampling for cloth mask shows only a 10% capture – but still 10% is still greater than 0. Vaccines were shown to reduce viral load therefore logically less transmission. How did counties with mask and vaccination mandate not fare better? Mask/Vaccination mandates gave a false sense of security leading to multiple human actions which drive more transmission not less – here are a few examples not in any particular order:

  • Because of mask/vaccine mandates people went out more often than without and perhaps stayed at places longer than one would without a mask or vaccine mandates.
  • Facilities thought a mask/vaccine mandate was good enough therefore did not look into ventilation and filtration/purification systems.
  • Rule following without belief lead to poor mask wearing (e.g. not covering nose, loose cloth) vs. those who believed in mask wore mask properly and perhaps even up spend and used N95 mask.
  • A dismissal of cold like symptoms because vaccinated perhaps never even got tested vs. – not vaccinated people were much more cautious and stayed home when confronted with cold symptoms or even got tested.

In general CA and NY are school mask mandates plus general mask wearing counties whereas FL and TX are in general mask less mandated counties.

Below chart shows the current stats in order of Death per capita from covid by country – stopping at 0.2%. The first top 10-15 one could argue a social economic impact. Then you hit the US. What sticks out is our BMI level relative the rest of the countries. Hopefully this will be a wake up call to evaluate our food system and also our message to the public. Pharma solutions vs. healthy lifestyle needs to seriously be questioned IF we do care about lives.

List 1291 – safe for everyone? Shouldn’t we spend time on finding those that could be harmed by the vaccine?

US still leads the world in deaths but confirmation has dropped significantly – perhaps sending home tests will result in this since not being reported anymore? Likely over 25% of US population has had covid and at the very least have some natural immunity.

Denmark things are amazing with almost 50% confirmation per capita. Unfortunately deaths are rising.

Ukraine is no longer reporting covid as they have bigger issues.

Russia covid deaths continue to sustain.

As discussed US confirmation now equivalent to last year. Deaths are staying under last year but not by much.
