The only difference between rape and sex is consent.
It's quite clear that the screwing that has been going on since March, as defined by the people of this nation, can only be described as sex as I can't find even a single digit percentage of Americans who refuse consent.
Let's cut the crap.
Since the end of March it has been obvious that there was exactly zero evidence for any sort of "lockdown" of any business or person save one -- nursing homes.
I've been pointing it out. Trump had a point with the original "15 days" simply because we didn't know where we were. I had a working hypothesis with regard to the actual "R", methods of spread, their comparable efficacy and similar, all derived from the data available. It was also obvious in the beginning and middle of March that ventilators were not an answer and thus attempting to build lots of them was stupid at best -- and homicidal at worst.
Even in March we had good reason to believe we were not on the cusp of a disaster. Events such as Diamond Princess provided extremely strong evidence of this; that we were either much further along with infections than we thought we were or there was some sort of cross-immunity or resistance to this bug.
The person making extraordinary claims (2.2 million Americans will die) has the burden of proof, and the more-extraordinary the claim the higher the burden.
May I point out that while "2.2 million Americans will die" sounds apocalyptic it in fact isn't? 2.7 million, more or less, Americans die every single year. It's normal. The question isn't whether someone will die; it is of what will they die. Not "with" what -- of what.
There's plenty of evidence of not only fraud but intentional causation of death during this alleged "pandemic." Colorado has walked back roughly 15% of their claimed deaths after being caught claiming that someone who literally drank themselves to death died of Covid-19. No, Covid-19 did not cause the person with a 0.55 BAC level to expire. But it took exposition of fraud at that level of outrage for the State to 'fess up and reclassify those who were falsely spiking the numbers back out -- and we don't even know, because there's no independent auditing going on, whether they in fact took them all back out.
Then there are the ten states where nursing home deaths are half or more of all deaths. Nursing homes are state regulated institutions. The States, in several cases including New York, issued regulations forcing these institutions to accept people who were Covid-19 positive, effectively seeding the equivalent of smallpox into those facilities on purpose. We knew very early on that if you had one of a relatively-short list of maladies you were much more likely to have a severe case of this disease and by definition anyone in a nursing home is seriously compromised in their physical health. We have thrown people in prison for manslaughter on far less provocation that what these governors have done -- and with good cause. Where are the prosecutions and why have the citizens of New York, along with other states, allowed their governors to kill Grandma without an immediate uprising?
Next up is the claim was that these lockdowns and other restrictions were to "flatten the curve" and prevent hospital overloads. Most people would accept that if it was true. But it was never true especially when you take the intentionally-caused serious cases out of the system. New York was one of the few places with an actual hospital overload but in New York Cuomo's order on nursing homes caused roughly half the deaths and without them there would have been no overload at all.
But the most-damning evidence of all comes out of the unbroken series of serology tests along with coroner's reports (including out of NYC) that prove that for those without one of a list of underlying conditions your risk of a bad outcome is very close to zero -- and well below that of all-cause mortality. To be blunt you're more-likely as an infant to die of SIDS than Coronavirus. Never mind the personal choices people make that increase their risk, particularly obesity. Would you lock down the entire nation and destroy its economy because some people choose to smoke or drink to excess, and as a result are more-subject to lethal disease?
That's what we've been doing!
To be blunt: So-called social distancing is a flat-out crock of shit.
What's even more outrageous is to claim a "public health emergency" exists when you ride down the street in an armored truck shooting people, explicitly targeting those who are fat and thus it would pose more difficulty in treating their wounds, yet that is exactly what Governor Cuomo -- and others -- did. These governors roughly doubled the fatality count from Covid-19 through their own intentional acts with full knowledge of the danger they were putting the victims under.
In any just society that would lead to instantaneous federal indictment under 18 USC 242 with said person being arrested and thrown in the dock immediately -- and no prayer in Hell of being bonded out. Indeed the entire point of the federal government claiming a right to enforce Civil Rights at the state level arose out of exactly this sort of disparate harm intentionally aimed at certain parts of the population. Since when does being black give you special rights that someone who is also part of a distinguishable part of the population -- specifically, being old and frail -- does not have?
May I point out the penalties clause for 18 USC 242:
Whoever, under color of any law, statute, ordinance, regulation, or custom, willfully subjects any person in any State, Territory, Commonwealth, Possession, or District to the deprivation of any rights, privileges, or immunities secured or protected by the Constitution or laws of the United States, or to different punishments, pains, or penalties, on account of such person being an alien, or by reason of his color, or race, than are prescribed for the punishment of citizens, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if bodily injury results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include the use, attempted use, or threatened use of a dangerous weapon, explosives, or fire, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than ten years, or both; and if death results from the acts committed in violation of this section or if such acts include kidnapping or an attempt to kidnap, aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to commit aggravated sexual abuse, or an attempt to kill, shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned for any term of years or for life, or both, or may be sentenced to death.
I'll take Guillotines for $100, Alex.
Then there are the nasty set of facts on this virus to begin with. Those who have severe or critical cases are much more likely to be deficient in Vitamin D, for example. Vitamin D is found in fatty fish such as salmon with small amounts also found in other animal products such as beef liver, cheese and egg yolks. It is also generated by your body as a consequence of sun exposure. That is, locking people into their homes directly injures them in terms of their personal risk of a severe outcome from this disease and despite the screaming Karens those Spring Breakers who flooded the beaches of Florida were actually engaged in behavior that was partially protective. Isn't it interesting that despite all the claims that we'd have spring breakers dropping like flies the actual count of cases traced to that numbered...... wait for it..... five?
Who has been taken out, put in the stocks and pelted with rotten tomatoes for their vilification of young people, inherently at less risk to start with, engaging in behavior that we now know is actually protective?
Of course doctors and other "medically minded" people killing people through malfeasance and misfeasance is not new. Such as my article from 2014 on UK doctors killing 80,000 people a year over a decade's time, which I remind you is far more than have succumbed to The Roma in the UK. Did we lock down for that? Did the UK impose house arrest or other "restrictions" on the population?
Do you think this is an isolated incident? May I remind you that upwards of 100,000 people a year are killed in the United States by nosocomial infections -- that is, infections acquired in a hospital! That's more than the number of people felled by The Roma thus far and it happens in the US every single year. Every one of those deaths is not only a homicide it's a negligent homicide too; exactly zero of them are unavoidable. The medical industry put the name "nosocomial" on them so as to evade ordinary people calling it what it is and parading it on the TV: Negligent homicide.
Where is the chyron at the bottom of CNN, Faux Snoox and everywhere else listing the number of people killed every day by hospitals and doctors through their refusal to practice reasonable infection control? If Covid-19 is a "public health emergency" why hasn't this been a continuing public health emergency and subject to the same sort of "mitigation" for the previous 20+ years when it kills an equal number of Americans not once -- but every year without fail!
As expected there are the screams of racism! coming from people because of a skew in the death numbers toward black and brown people. So viruses are racist eh? Nice try. The truth is something entirely different: Lifestyle choices made by people have an outsized impact on the course of this disease -- specifically, the Pie Hole virus frequently precedes, by decades of willful personal action, a fatal outcome for Covid-19 exactly as it does for smoking and lung cancer.
Take both the willful and intentional actions of governors along with personal choice out of the mix as causative factors for serious, critical and fatal outcomes and suddenly this bug is an epidemiological annoyance.
Now let's add in 1968. In 1968/69 H3N2 swept the globe; it was extremely contagious and troops returning home after the Vietnam War brought it rapidly into the United States, where it killed about 100,000 people. There were about 200 million people in the US at the time, so adjusting for population this would put the death toll at about 150,000 today.
This is almost-directly comparable in terms of the rate of death seen with Covid-19 and yet exactly zero lockdowns were put in place and the economy was not impaired. In addition, unlike Covid-19 but in line with most influenza strains that virus also killed a lot of infants and very young children.
And if that's not enough the prognostications of doom for those places that have reopened have been universally false. The last leg of the stool on which these "lockdowns" rested was that if we did reopen the economy on a mass basis people would die en-masse. But now we have the facts on that as well; it simply hasn't happened in any measurable way at all and that destroys the last argument for not immediately and completely removing all of the constraints.
China lied about this current virus in many respects, including its fatality rate. But we've lapped up many of those lies as Americans and the so-called mainstream media has amplified them along with governors on both sides of the aisle. There are exactly zero governors who have lifted all constraints and told people the truth: We were lied to, we were wrong and our actions, in light of the facts which we now know, were unsupportable. This bug is nasty if you are medically impaired however we can lock in nursing homes and by doing so there is little risk of overload of the medical system, never mind that since hospitals are ill-equipped to deal with infectious disease generally the correct model for those infected is a sanitarium, which we will put in place for the duration should we have problems with this or a similar disease in the future.
Busing patients to such a place (and back when they're recovered) is dirt cheap compared to shutting down the economy. Paying the caregivers in such places a very significant bonus as compensation for being "locked in" for the duration or until they seroconvert and no longer can transmit the infection is dirt cheap by comparison as well. Rent and line up RVs in the parking lot if you have to.
But instead we have a nation where half the people are screaming Karens parading around in masks claiming that "we're all gonna die" from the Roma if we are not literally imprisoned in our homes while the other half spends so much on kneepads as to run Amazon.com and everyone else out of them. The reason for their purchases? To hide the use of their man-pleaser on our President's schlong on a daily basis; without those kneepads said acts would be evidenced by bare, white bone sticking out of the front of their knees.
Meanwhile our economy is dying. A huge percentage, perhaps one in four or more, small businesses that were forced closed will never reopen. Those are the firms that employ a quarter of America. They're also how Americans have risen from being a wage slave to financial and personal independence from all walks of life irrespective of their race, color, religion or family wealth over the entire time this nation has existed. Destroying these people through no fault or poor decision-making of their own is an outrage literally beyond words and more than sufficient cause for the people of this nation to start penning a second edition of The Declaration of Independence.
There are many who think the Federal Government can simply "spend" to make this up. Nope. That will inevitably be reflected back into prices and already is happening in the grocery store. The full impact won't be felt for a couple of years and once again those at the lower end of the income ladder will take the worst of it simply because they lack the disposable income to deal with a 20, 30 or 50% increase in the cost of certain necessities. That's financial sex; it's not rape because, once again, you continue to consent on a daily basis instead of dragging the people responsible out of their offices by their hair.
And oh, by the way, the "masks" worn by our so-called "leaders" have been caught on multiple occasions already as nothing more than theater; as soon as they think the cameras are turned off they all immediately take the masks off. So much for believing what they're saying in public and even ordering you to do as a matter of alleged "law."
There is zero reason for anyone, irrespective of their political leanings, to consent to any element of our federal, state and local governments at this point. I remind you that even a low single-digit percentage of those who actively refuse and are willing to back up that refusal with whatever is necessary to enforce same is sufficient to stop all of this bullshit in one afternoon as they would outnumber every law enforcement agency in the nation by a factor of 10:1.
There are those who claim this is all a "Get Trump!" conspiracy. For those individuals please identify the Red State that has told all the screaming Karens to go screw a goat and has dropped all the constraints -- every one of them. Those running that bullshit are lying; The fact is that both sides of the aisle are literally orgasmic over the power they're exerting and the screwing they are imposing on the population, especially those on the lower end of the income scale.
Leaving aside the economic damage intentionally inflicted on our nation under false pretense, the majority of which has fallen on those making less than $50,000 a year -- the ordinary working stiff -- with exactly zero having fallen thus far on federal employees and lawmakers, every single one of whom is drawing their regular salary, along with the criminal malfeasance among governors who screwed up their alleged "unemployment" systems such that those people are not getting that which they paid into as insurance premiums, the rank violations of the basic Constitutional Freedom to go where we wish, when we wish and with whom we wish under intentional false pretense is plenty of reason standing alone for the people of this nation to refuse to consent to the continued existence of the government at all levels -- federal, state and local.
This intentional criminal malfeasance by governors has included freeing persons in jail and prisons. In at least two cases, one in Blue Colorado and a second in Red Florida these freed persons, one a convict and the second being held awaiting trial said individuals now stand accused of murder -- acts they would not have been able to commit but for their release.
If you drive someone to a bank knowing they are of criminal mind and they rob said bank you get charged. Where are the criminal charges of accessory to murder for the governors and other jurisdictions involved in these releases when said persons were of knowing criminal mind -- trivially proved since they were already in jail!
Ask yourself this: If you're not going to rise and put a stop to the grave insult served upon our Constitutional freedoms at this level, deliberately aimed at the 70% of private sector workers on the lower end of the scale while exempting from those same consequences every single lawmaker, politician and enforcer irrespective of political party or affiliation then exactly when and under what circumstance would you so rise -- and why should anyone bother so much as lifting a finger to push buttons on a keyboard, say much anything else, in furtherance of defending your alleged "freedom"?
Let's cut the crap on masks, ok?
The other day I managed to get buzzed. My head, you idiot -- not on a bong.
They insisted (state rules) that I wear a mask. Meh. Ok, so I had a dust mask in the truck (its proper use is for sanding things), so I wore it. It's worthless to prevent viral transmission, by the way, and so was the one the person buzzing me, who also had one on, was wearing.
Why?
Let's quickly review.
A mask on your face will interrupt particles you exhale forcefully. So if you cough, for example, it will trap the larger droplets. It will not trap the vapor-phase water nor anything that's in there. Virus particles are much smaller than the spaces in the mask material, never mind the inevitable gaps around the edges.
So the mask will stop some, but nowhere near all, of the particles you exhale. I remind you that we could stop all drunk driving by mandating that every person blow into an attached breathalyzer before their car would start. We would never tolerate such a thing unless you've been convicted of drunk driving first, and then only for a limited period of time. Mandatory "mask rules" are the same thing; they impose this mandate on you with zero evidence you're infected and thus can transmit anything.
Now how about on the other end -- the person who isn't infected? Should they wear one in an attempt to prevent their own infection? There the news depends on how the infection is spreading.
IF the infection is spread by manual transmission of non-aerosol particles -- for example, fecal-oral -- then a mask is extremely effective in preventing the wearer from becoming infected. Why? Nearly all such transmission of a "manual" sort occurs when you touch something that is contaminated and then touch the interior of your nose or the fleshy parts of your mouth -- specifically, your lips. But remember, according to the CDC (despite the actual documented evidence) Covid is claimed not to spread this way.
Why does the CDC refuse to bring this form of transmission forward and focus on it? Because then we have to talk about toilets in hospitals, nursing homes and other commercial environments that are invariably high-pressure driven units that spray material all over the place when flushed, adult incontinence products used in both and how they're handled and disposed of and the fact that hand sanitizers are ineffective compared with washing one's hands -- all of which means the protocols that the CDC has said are "good enough" or "reduce risk significantly" really aren't and don't. They know this, by the way, and we also know from history that one of the most-effective ways to transmit a virus is fecal/oral -- polio, as one example, has one of the worst transmission rates (R0 of roughly 5!) and is transmitted almost-exclusively via this route.
Oh by the way when you look at the data roughly half the deaths thus far are in fact people who were in nursing homes. Of course being able to add 2 and 2 yet not use "common core" to claim the result is 5 goes against the "teaching" of the useful idiots all over the place, never mind that if you actually looked at this issue dispassionately you'd be compelled to immediately bring thousands of counts of manslaughter against Cuomo, Newsom and others.
So instead of doing the right thing we instead killed tens of thousands in said nursing homes and claim "masks" are required for certain workers to be able to open their businesses.
But wait, you say -- you haven't pointed out why they're worthless if the actual transmission route is through vapor in the air!
Ah, if you don't get it you have no brain. Or, to be more-specific, you have no eyes.
SARS-Cov-2, the virus that causes a COVID-19 infection, is nearly 100 times more effective at infecting the human conjunctiva -- a thin, clear tissue covering the eyeball and inner surface of the eyelids -- and upper respiratory airways than SARS, Dr. Michael Chan Chi-wai, who led the research team at Hong Kong University’s School of Public Health, told the South China Morning Post. The team's findings were published in the most recent issue of The Lancet Respiratory Medicine.
The eyes are surrounded on all sides except right where they stick forward so they're useful to you with a moist, live skin surface. Unlike unbroken epidermal skin on your hands viruses can trivially penetrate that surface into the body -- and do. Water vapor in the air, some laden with virus particles, will exchange with any open area and come in contact with same, exchanging back and forth with the air itself. Gas laws state that unless you have a 100% seal such exchange will occur extremely rapidly due to Brownian motion and as a result wearing "goggles" or glasses does nothing to interrupt that. This is distinct from droplets which are not in vapor phase and rapidly drop to the floor or ground outside, and in the context of outside if there is any wind whatsoever the dissipation happens quickly enough to make person-to-person transmission nearly impossible unless you are literally face-to-face.
It has been long recognized that your eyes are a primary entry point for any airborne virus or other material. Ask anyone with an allergy to pollen about that. You need only cut an onion to recognize that irritants in vapor phase can and do get to your eyes. In addition even with a mask if you touch your eyes anything on your hands will get in via that route as well.
This, by the way, is likely why NY has documented that the majority of people who wound up in the hospital after their lockdown were in fact locked down and staying in their homes -- they were not "essential workers." Simply put the measures put in place do not work because they can't work with an airborne respiratory virus.
This in turn means there is no effective way to prevent transmission among people at-large. It simply cannot be done and as such we must respect facts and move on with our lives. It doesn't matter if we like it or not; it is what it is.
We destroyed the economy for no actual benefit, and our refusal to admit this means we're still destroying the economy.
The remaining and actual effective mitigation is to go after the vectors in health care settings -- specifically hospitals and nursing homes with a targeted intervention based on the sanitarium model I've been advocating since this began.
I could go on with regard to gloves as well, but this is long enough for now.
Simply put -- a mask is useful if you believe you may be ill, especially if you cough. However, it will do little or nothing to prevent transmission to you of an infectious agent that is spread through the air -- and that's just a matter of physics and physiology, not "virtue signalling."
For those with 30-second attention spans:
- Diamond Princess proved that the claim, which continues to be made today, that (1) this virus is extremely deadly and (2) there is zero cross or innate immunity were both false. It is not possible for a very transmissible respiratory virus to infect one person in a quarantined cabin of two people, while the other does not get sick at all unless either (1) the second person is already immune or (2) the second person gets it but has no symptoms at all and recovers before being tested, and thus tests negative. I remind you that this was proved, conclusively, before the end of February.
- Kirkland proved that (1) the virus is extremely virulent and deadly among nursing home populations, killing double-dgiit percentages of the people in said places, (2) that flu season mitigations were ineffective in preventing the spread, as it was already flu season and (3) it was likely spread through fecal/oral and by the workers in the facilities -- that is, health care workers are a primary vector. Yet to this day we have not locked in nursing homes nor done anything about that vector as people in said places count nearly half of all deaths and continue to be a primary source of both cases and deaths. I remind you this was proved, conclusively, by the first week of March and thus all nursing home fatalities from Covid-19 since that time are in fact negligent homicides for which governors and the owners of same should be held personally liable both civilly and criminally.
- Seroconversion testing has now proved my hypothesis that the first two points meant that (1) we could not actually stop transmission with "mitigations" and (2) health "care" was and would remain a primary vector for this disease.
- Seroconversion testing has also now proved my belief that actual infection rates were much higher than reported (by at least an order of magnitude -- that is, ten times) and, as a result, fatality rates were much lower by an equal amount. This meant that this respiratory virus was both very different than influenza but a lot like a cold virus. In other words, flu has basically a zero silent infection rate; if you get it, you get sick. Colds, on the other hand (some of which are caused by coronaviruses) frequently produce silent or near-silent infections where at worst you sneeze a couple of times.
- The data from everywhere serologic surveys have been done proves conclusively that "lockdowns" and other forms of forced mitigation, along with "contact tracing", are a waste of time and in fact indirectly harm or even kill people. The enormous number of "silent" (asymptomatic) infections, with all evidence being they account for at least ten times and perhaps as many as 85 or more times those who are tested, makes this clear. If you are tested, positive, yet gave the virus to ten people and only one of them ever becomes symptomatic trying to chase down all the "positives" is now not only futile it's criminally insane because you want those asymptomatic infections to occur -- they directly help society rather than harm it by directly suppressing future transmission of the virus.
- The data out of Wuhan showed that vents were a complete waste of time and any "mitigation" intended to blunt impact on hospital utilization so as to make vents available would actually do nothing at best, and kill at worst. We now know this to be true in the United States. This in turn means that mitigations intended to "flatten the curve" to preserve hospital space are stupid and ineffective since driving people into hospitals and encouraging invasive procedures does not save lives -- it actually takes lives. Adding financial incentive to that (which our government has done) is manslaughter on a gross scale and in addition we have now spent money building devices that don't work, adding intentional financial fraud by our President to the mix. We are now in the realm where people should get the guillotine for their conduct in that regard as manslaughter for money is commonly called contract killing. Killing for naked political purposes is a crime against humanity.
- The data now proves that the only rational way to deal with covid patients who need health care is a sanitarium model. The goal must be early intervention with drug therapies (proved or not) because vents don't work. Simply put you must isolate/quarantine (whether in said sanitarium, locked-in facility or someone's home where nobody can leave or enter other than a seropositive individual who cannot transmit the infection) for those who are actually infected. Keeping the virus out of ordinary hospitals so Joe with his heart attack does not get the virus in the hospital and die due to his already-weakened state is essential -- and yet nobody has done one thing about that.
- Since a huge percentage of those infected are not harmed at all or only have minimal symptoms you want to encourage that event since it is the only means to build immunity in the population. Any other action is criminal negligent homicide as such "mitigations" are in fact a direct cause of those at high risk becoming infected and dying. When you cannot prevent the spread of a respiratory virus, and that is the case here as is now proved by the data, then those actions that prolong the window of harm for those at high risk are not "mitigations" -- they are crimes.
And to top it all off we have nearly zero state or local politicians, say much less a President, who is willing to stand up and speak to any of these facts. Yet they are now all facts -- not suppositions, beliefs or even just a hypothesis supported by the data.
They are facts.
They all started as a hypothesis with decent evidence but over time they've graduated to irrefutable facts backed by actual data on the ground.
What remains a hypothesis, but is also likely to be proved up, is that there will never be a vaccine and immunity wanes over time, as both are also characteristics of coronaviruses in general, which means this will come back in the fall, it will be with us on a permanent basis, the "mitigations" not only can't work they can't be reapplied forever and there will never be a successful vaccine either.
This means "suck it up and deal with it" is all we have left -- and that the sanitarium model is the only sane public health measure that can have an actual positive impact.
I've tried to warn people of the coming likely disintegration of our health care system.
I've put forward a bill to fix it. Nobody has cared. Not one torch, not one pitchfork was to be found.
I suspected that was going to happen when Obamacare was passed. Those of you who have been here since the crash know that I noted when Obama was elected and started in on Obamacare that it was my view that if I got older, fatter and sicker I would eventually die because the health care required for me to live would disappear -- whether Obama had promised it to me or not. So would millions of others. And not one person ever did lift a finger toward that rat bastard or his minions in the House and Senate at the time. They're still there and he's still a free man.
So in 2011, realizing that there was no way they were going to do the right thing I instead did this:
That took 8 months.
I still look like that. Well, ok, my hair has more gray in it.
Now to be clear -- I didn't do it for anyone else. I did it because I knew that if I didn't do it I would end up even fatter, likely diabetic and screwed. I was never diabetic but I did buy a simple finger-stick meter and some strips, and did my own version of challenging my endocrine system in the privacy of my own home. What I saw wasn't encouraging.
60lbs and 8 months later the data was still not encouraging, even though I felt a hell of a lot better Literally everything was better. Sleep, demeanor, everything. Even my boner (ok, TMI, I know.) But a few years later the data tells a different story. Today I can sit down and choke down an entire big bag of chocolate; almost all sugar. It's not possible for me to drive my blood sugar way up. It just doesn't happen. My fasting glucose is right up the middle where it should be. I still have the meter and every year or so buy a few strips and see what's up, just to be sure. I eat low carb, high fat. There are exceptions, but my primary sustenance is comprised of animal protein and green vegetables. It works, I'm never hungry, and I enjoy what I eat. I often eat nothing, literally, before noon.
Why?
I'm not hungry.
It's nine years later. Those who say it doesn't work or you can't stick with it -- you're wrong. It both works and is delicious. Oh, and over time your body may heal itself. I take no prescription drugs. Literally none.
Now we have Coronavirus. It's not going away. There will be no vaccine. There is evidence (but not proof) that the antibody protection wanes with time and some people don't get much protection at all, despite getting the virus. None of this is scientifically proved yet, but given the evidence expecting a permanent-immunity vaccine is foolish. There will almost-certainly not be one. If the antibody protection wanes then a vaccine is a waste of time and money, and the efforts to produce one will soon be abandoned.
Being obese and diabetic has a high probability of being a death sentence if you get this virus. You're anywhere from 100 to over 1,000 times more likely to die. To put perspective on this if you get this virus you have less than a 0.06% chance of death (and probably less than half that; I'm being generous in the direction of mortality in that calculation) if you have none of these conditions. Some of these are not under your control -- cancer being one of them, much of the time. If you're in one of those categories then you've got good odds of winding up in the ICU and if you land there about half the time you come out in a box -- 90% of the time if you wind up on a vent. Those odds suck. HCQ and either ZPAK or Doxycycline appears to work. How well is not known yet. Clinical data (that's "anecdote" to those two cocksuckers on the side of Trump in his briefings) says they do work but no drug regime works for everyone.
Obesity and Type II diabetes, which are two of the most-deadly co-morbidities are absolutely under your control. So is smoking and excessive drinking. And to the extent hypertension is linked to being obese, that one is too.
For reasons not well understood at this time diabetes and hypertension, both of which are heavily linked to obesity, are extreme mortality enhancements with this virus. Thus, it is fair to call The PieHole Virus, that is, what you put in the pie hole, a direct contributor to whether coronavirus kills you or is somewhere between a mild and serious annoyance.
You have until fall folks. Yes, we have our lockdowns today, but if they don't cut this bullshit out soon hospitals are going to start collapsing for lack of funding and supply chains will break in critical ways. Then the ordinary heart attack -- or an abscessed tooth -- will kill you because there's no health care at all.
But even if they lift the lockdowns (and who knows if they will) the odds are very high this thing is coming back in the fall. We should have let it burn out now, but we didn't and won't -- Trump is too stupid to challenge the so-called "advice" of his medical advisers, even after they rely on models that have twice been proved to be blown and fraudulent. He should fire them both, lift it all, advise high-risk people to shelter in place, consider prophylaxis in consultation with their physicians and go after vectors instead of shutting down the economy. It was the only sane path to take originally and it's the only sane one now.
But Trump is not sane. In fact unlike the garbage Russian nonsense for this he deserves immediate impeachment or even 25th Amendment removal.
But neither is going to happen and thus it is what it is.
Neither you or I can change the stupidity in our government alone, and there is no will to change it collectively. In fact the general population has swallowed this scam to the tune of at least 90% of the population, and maybe more. Our people give their daily Nazi Salutes to Fauxci, Birx and Trump -- indeed, they demand even more lockdowns and destruction. Absent many millions changing their minds, sticking up their middle finger, unlocking their businesses and if necessary going to work armed to keep the doors open, making clear that "no means no" this is not going to change -- and there is simply no common purpose in doing exactly that. We're all sniveling under our desks in fear instead. Thus, it won't be changed. Deal with it. Covid will come back in the fall and you should expect that. You should also expect any politician who tries to lock things down a second time to potentiate a dirty civil war where merely going to get your mail invites death. I doubt the people will put up with this crap a second time, and further, the US Government won't be able to fund any of it nor the health care they claim they're "protecting." We're getting away with it now on inertia, mostly. That will go away. It always does, just like it did in 2007 when Bernanke famously said that "Subprime is contained." He was absolutely full of crap and yet inertia kept the balls in the air for another year.
My mathematical models focused on 2024 for the crossover between spending on necessary items, revenue and the geometric blow-up of the deficit which would force change, like it or not. That timeline has now been accelerated, although exactly by how far I'm not certain. Markets never let you actually hit these walls just as they didn't in 2008, which means with the outrageously reckless actions taken thus far it could happen at any time. Exactly how things devolve from there is very hard to determine -- but none of the potential outcomes are good.
In short while I did it in 8 months you have six, more or less. Can you get all the way there? No, probably not. But you better start now and try if you're fat and Type II diabetic. Right now. Not tomorrow, not next week, not some resolution that you won't keep up.
Now.
Because if you don't, when this virus comes back in the fall -- you're likely to die.
