With the horrid "soft shutdown" we are killing people (suicide) and driving more people to alcohol and drug abuse.
So here is a chart from the latest numbers (August 3rd, 2020) from the Texas Health Department. They are now listing the deaths on the correct day. Apparently, that wasn't a thing a couple weeks ago, if you can believe it!
I used a 5 day moving average to smooth out the jig/jags. The deaths numbers are being revised as time marches on. But most of the revisions occur mainly at fresh data.
To be honest, I'm not even sure you can trust the cases. From what I've read the false positives are very high. The chart for Cases is on the uptick, but so what? The deaths have plummeted to almost zero. Also, by the time people start freaking out about a FAKE "Second Wave" they'll stop, look at eachother and say: "oh....it's now the flu season".
And then....they get to freak out all over again until July of next year!!
To me, the use of masks always seemed completely pointless. And now I am vindicated.
The total number of deaths are 7,016. So if we doubled it, we'd have a "bad flu season". Yep. That's it. All the terrible running around like our hair was on fire for an effing bad flu season.
In the 2017/18 flu season more people in Texas died than have died so far from the CCP Virus. Did you know that? Did you read about it? Oh you didn't? Then let me fill that blank spot in your brain:
In what was considered the worst season in years, the flu and related complications killed nearly 10,000 Texans in 2017-2018, according to state health officials.
Yeah, that's a lot of people to die of the flu. And you didn't notice? Were you that uncaring? Of course, you aren't that uncaring. So why the hell is it so important now?
For the CCP Virus, to understand the breakdown of deaths by age: The age group from 60- 80+ account for 80% of the deaths. 80+ yeas alone make up 34.3% of the deaths.
Yep. And again early on I suggested to friends and family (who all thought I was stupid, ignorant and uncaring) that we should concentrate on making things safe for the elderly.
Also, early on I recognized that the deaths from the CCP virus were probably overstated by 30%. Dr. Debra Birx a couple of weeks later confronted the CDC accusing them of overstating the deaths and positive cases by 25%
Yeah. It's time. And unless people are dropping like flies from whatever new Apocalyptic Pandemic heads our way, don't EVER do this again.
The one important question I ask is this: Who are more important: The Americans of Today? Or the Americans of Tomorrow?
In every thing we as Americans have done we have always answered this to be "the Americans of Tomorrow". From our Founding Fathers, and the signers of the Declaration of Independence who risked their lives, honors and fortunes along with hundreds of thousands of soldiers walking with bloody barefeet in the frigid snowy scenes, to the bloody body-strewn fields of the Civil War to rid our country of the Curse of Slavery, the Americans of Tomorrow were most certainly more important. From the blood soaked trenches of battle during World War One and then the horrid Bataan Death March of American Soldiers and the American lives slain on European battlefields, it was always the Americans of Tomorrow that were more important.
It was President Kennedy who threw down the gauntlet to have us send a man to the moon. Why? Because it was easy? Because...it was hard.
And we as American are called to do the same today. We want.....the Americans of Tomorrow to live and thrive. And we do this not because it is easy but especially because it is hard.
If we don't do this for them now.....
...there will be no Americans of Tomorrow.
....and little is asked of us. Stop the fear, Take the mask off. Get to work.
