"Robert Watson: England & Wales 2020 Mortality Statistics in Context POSTED TUESDAY 7TH JULY 2020 HECTOR DRUMMOND
........Despite the extraordinary public policy response to the appearance of Covid-19, it appears to be a fairly benign disease insofar as, to date, its primary victim group have been the very old and already terminally ill individuals, i.e., those already largely living on borrowed time.......
.......However, by looking at the age distribution of the population and the long-term decline in premature mortality, it becomes self-evident that the potential size of the Covid-19-and-all-other-causes-of-death victim group has increased significantly over the recent past. This factor is, I contend, the primary explanatory variable driving the size and distribution of Covid-19 deaths in England & Wales since the first attributed death in week 10 of this year......."hectordrummond.com/2020/07/07/robert-watson-england-wales-2020-mortality-statistics-in-context/

Interesting comment on a Daily Mail article:
"A gentleman in Texas who works in a testing lab said that he's baffled by the strong uptick in positives, like someone is pushing for the "second wave". So, he decided to purchase 200 test kits himself and submit them to a competing lab to see what happened. He didn't actually "test" anyone, just made them appear tested. Sure enough, over 50% of the UNTESTED test kits turned up as POSITIVE."

Unrelated, I did find this on the Twitterverse: PCR tests don't test for covid-19, there are no tests for covid-19. The PCR test was developed in 1983 by Kary Mullis, and it only tests for exosomes. Exosomes are released from cells during and after any viral infection, and can be found in the system for years after a flu shot.

Seems their police are more efficient ... took 15 minutes to clear parliament ... versus Seattle police took 23 DAYS to clear CHAZ/CHOP. Unfair really, as I'm sure they could have matched the Serbians if given the chance. How's the family Acid? c

That orange tree has found new lease of life, chopped the almond tree within an inch of its life and Croats assumed would die but now has a large bonsai appearance.

The death rate globally according to WHO this past week is around .6% which doesn't seem high but would equate to around 45K in the state formally named after George Washington. Except that not everyone is infected. Current infection rates are less than 5% of the population even if you include the asymptomatic who don't know and don't get tested that are only found by serology testing. So Washington State 7.2M - could expect 5% = 360,000 infected and of those infected 2,160 would die with a CFR of 0.06% Apparently, there is a 'G' strain of the virus that is more infective as its spike protein is better put together, which may be the reason for the resurgence in FL/AZ/TX. Although someone also surmised that the recent hot weather (feels like temps up to 110F) meant that people stayed inside in air conditioned rooms with the temperature at a more SARS-CoV-2 friendly 70F with the air con circulating the virus round the crowd. [Personally my air con doesn't come on until 85F] There must be a more sensible way of setting up air conditioning perhaps blowing air into the room through floor level vents at 70F and extracting it at ceiling level then HEPA and UV filters and heat exchangers for hot water before venting the sterile air. That way viral droplets would be blown up to the extractors and sterilized and the system would also provide hot water.

"The fatal mistakes which led to lockdown Modelling is no substitute for quality data and research
Over the past few weeks, my sense of the surreal has been increasing. At a time when rational interpretation of the Covid data indicates that we should be getting back to normal, we instead see an elaboration of arbitrary responses. These are invariably explained as being âguided by scienceâ. In fact, they are doing something rather different: being guided by models, bad data and subjective opinion. Some of those claiming to be âfollowing the scienceâ seem not to understand the meaning of the word."www.spectator.co.uk/article/how-strong-was-the-scientific-advice-behind-lockdown
