Regarding the defiant ones, they are the Law and Order! types who are sitting right there breaking the law. And before somebody mentions the rioting, the Law and Order! types would be breaking the law regardless. Because of something very important to them. It's part of what's got me all pissed off. |

ES certainly has a negative view of the lockdowns and governance-by-panic in general and is not afraid to express that, but he at least believes the statistics (when in context and rightly understood) support it and he attempts to present the evidence. People can do whatever they like with it, but it's helpful to see a deeper analysis in a world where most reporting on the virus is someone freaking out about one day's raw numbers, and other data points that in isolation are of limited use. |

But... 120,000 people are dead in less than 6 months, and that doesn't count thousands of others who've survived and suffered life altering long term illness. Lung problems, kidneys wrecked, organ failure. Lives that are ruined. One of the most powerful experiences of my life was standing in front of the Vietnam memorial and seeing the list of people who died. I think every person should do it at least once. It's incredible. That took 20 years. And now we have a virus that's killed twice as many people in 6 months. And it's not a big deal. For the media, for society, for government. That's horrifying. |

One thing I have been interested in for some time is how SARS2 will compare to SARS since 80%+ of it's genome is exactly like SARS. So this guy has been saying for some time it is following the same end of season like SARS which would be great if true. But the numbers don't bear out, just look at the chart. BY June 23, 2003 there was 8500 cases and 800 deaths worldwide of SARS TOTAL from the start of the out break. This country alone had 31k cases yesterday and worldwide there was 3880 deaths. https://www.who.int/csr/sars/country/2003_06_23/en/ SARS was contained by July 5th, 2003 does any one think in 2 weeks COVID will be declared contained? I would love for that to happen and will come back and eat massive crow but I am not hopeful. |

In Texas, Gov. Greg Abbott warned that "tougher actions" may be imposed if the numbers there continue to spike, but he stressed that closing down the state again "will always be the last option."
"Covid-19 is now spreading at an unacceptable rate in Texas, and it must be corralled," Abbott said Monday. Houston’s Health Department said Harris County hospitals have a 177% increase in Covid-19 positive patients since May 31. |

A good example is the overlay of the CDC estimate data in blue to draw firm conclusions about serology when no study has indicated levels of infection that high, and the CDC estimate that he uses was one of many potential outcomes based on inputs that were purposefully estimates and not hard data to show a range of possibilities. What he does is take it for a fact and then extrapolates IFR from it while criticizing states of "salting" (which is a term taken from mining fraud) data. It's a good case study in the persuasiveness of graphical design among the intellectually incurious, though. |
