WUHAN VIRUS DAILY UPDATE FOR APRIL 21
BIG SPIKE!! OH WAIT - IT'S JUST MONDAY, TIME FOR "TRUING UP" - Weekend is over so all that late data comes in and, lo and behold, Connecticut has decided to adjust its numbers to include a lot of unconfirmed deaths. Get this - the terms they used to add new deaths that have no factual basis for being caused by the Wuhan-virus, "truing up"!! Yes, Governor Ned Lamont read George Orwell's, "1984" and took it to be an instruction book in effective political leadership and has raised real-world doublespeak to an art form. Sonavubitch just created a new word! Read all it about it right here: Connecticut reports spike in coronavirus cases, cites CDC classification changes
Other states such as Pennsylvania have also revised old numbers upwards. Meanwhile, what did new incidents do? Well they went up exactly the number you'd expect them to go up with our average of 150k tests and just under 20% positive rates. So what happens when you artificially inflate death rates and new cases are bounded by limited testing capacity? Naturally you spike the mortality rate to a new high of precisely 5%! Now does anyone believe that your chances of dying if you get Wuhan-virus is 1 out of 20??? Of course it's a complete lie. And oh, btw, based on the nonsense numbers and how we've seen them behave in the past, today was when we predicted we'd break 40,000 deaths. Well the official number is 39,995. Am I just so amazing that I know exactly how the pandemic would behave? Absolutely not. What I know is that our stats haven't been measuring the pandemic for some time now. All they're measuring is political manipulation of numbers and gross negligence by our leadership. Watch for attempts to "true up" vote totals come November...
For today's grossly manipulated stats, both rates of growth (rog) for new incidents and deaths are higher and will likely increase tomorrow then go down again. (yawn) Given a total of 151,546 tests completed in America, our new total for incidents is 799,717 (+27,193), down to an increase of 3.52% over the previous day (+0.41% from yesterday). Deaths have totaled 39,995 (+2,674) which is an increase of 7.16% (+2.09%) over the previous day. Since the peak in Mar 19, rates of growth for incidents has fallen by 48.12% and for deaths has fallen by 35.69%.
Meanwhile according to our Rt tracking site (https://rt.live/ ) more than half of all states are now below the 1.0 line meaning the Wuhan-virus will burn itself out there. That said, note that a lot of the new deaths are coming from states that weren't previously hotspots so those states have moved above the 1.0 line. This is to be expected because the initial exposures in those states started later as well. How those states curves will behave remains to be seen.
Finally, the attacks on the USC and Stanford studies are showing increased vitriol. Yes, there's a significant margin of error here primarily for two reasons, 1) the population tested was not truly random, and 2) there's up to a 5% error rate for the tests. Now even if you assign that error rate to be false positives (rather than false negatives) and somehow you think the population also leaned that way, the numbers STILL show a remarkably high number of unknown cases of infections beyond what any of our testing has even come close to demonstrating. In fact 100% of the evidence out there supports this. But those condemning these tests are also the ones who created the nonsensical exponential charts to describe a logistical phenomenon. Let's just get one thing straight - no matter what you think of the USC and Stanford tests - if you are condemning them and not proposing or actually doing new tests to confirm or correct those earlier tests then you are not interested in doing science - you are only interested in a political outcome!
There's only one thing to do, people, MORE RANDOM ANTI-BODY TESTS NOW!! It's the only way we can restore an honest picture about the state of this pandemic and its development. It's time to end the "truing up" and start getting to the truth!
