World Wide Daily Deaths have fallen to under 10,000 a day from over 15,000 a few months ago. It is interesting that many "Third World Shithole" countries have fewer deaths than some of our smaller states.

Yesterday The USA lost 1,610 Dead.

Total Deaths in US follow the populations of the states pretty closely, with New Jersey skewed, probably due to the commuter traffic from NY.

Sorry to hear you’re still suffering from Covid. Hopefully you’ll learn to get on with your life soon. Isolation and mandatory face coverings must suck.

I got my second shot today. It didn't hurt and I've had no reaction, unlike some I've heard about.

You may not get a reaction until the second day. That's when it hit my wife (for two days--not serious but enough to send her to bed).

I've had the one-shot. Maybe a bit of a headache but nothing else.

It has officially been a year.

March 12, 2020: The Night the City Sighed to Sleep

Julia Jacobs makes the point, that it was the last night for mass gatherings.

A concert at the Mercury Lounge in NY, Debbie Harry in the audience.
Hal Willner died from Covid -19, less than a month, after the concert.

Michael C. Corridor from "Dexter," performed.

By this time, many concerts had been cancelled.

The people working at the venue knew there would not be any live performances
or big crowds, for a long while.

Items were packed away. One last drink, and the doors were closed and locked.

(Like every other sane person in the U.S.A., they did not know it would be a ghastly,
horrible year of waiting for any real hope for a return to pre-coronavirus times.)

March 12, 2021 President Biden brings hope, for something normal.
Not just "pretend normal," but something close to real normal.

A friend of mine and neighbor died of COVID today and it has me shook. She wasn't a great friend, and a very annoying person sometimes, but she didn't deserve to die of COVID. She came down with it a week ago and it came like death and just snuffed out her life viciously and quickly. She had had cancer and was in her 70s and had been so careful with masking yet somehow she got it.

COVID is horrible, a deadly, deadly killer.

Another human being joins the mountain of coronavirus corpses at Trump's door.

I'm sorry that you had to join the long line of people that have lost a friend,
or a neighbor, or both, to Covid-19.



Most of the funerals are Covd-19 related, in my area.

Only one or two people per car, in the long processions.

It has been a long winter, and there have been many of them.

With your acknowledged expertise in fear mongering I'm surprised that you would lower the standard to include reporting of facts from the major epidemic of Trump flu, into the category.

How NZ chose to handle the problem

I wonder...why Taiwan only has had 8 total deaths? What did they do?

How Taiwan Did It

1. They're an island, which always helps (like New Zealand) with a population of
27 million or so people. About 2/3rds the size of California, with a national
government that controls everything.

2. They immediately put travel restrictions into place.
A. Air travelers were screened (initially temperature, symptoms, or suspicion)
and if there was any question, they were quarantined in hotels at their own
expense.
B. Oceanic passengers - all foreigners were confined on-board their vessels,
returning nationals were screened and quarantined.

3. They had a national plan in place for SARS (since 2003) which was activated.
A. Screening (as per above)
B. Smart phone contact tracing AND monitoring, with the ability to pull up
records (any and all, warrantless searching) to determine who had to be
tested. With "mandatory" civil defense apps on all cell phones.
C. A single, fully digitized, health monitoring system was in place and the
technological capability to merge massive data sets.

4. Culturally, in Taiwan, you'll hear it expressed "Your countries survival depends
on you", an attitude of duty and compliance that permeates the culture. This
is born from it's being under perpetual threat from Communist China.

5. A huge, by American standards (and most of the world) stockpile of PPE,
issuance of a "mask ration" and nationalization of the PPE stockpile and
manufacturing (they're an exporter of med tech and supplies), with a "no
export" unless they had enough. Again, most of this stems from the
relationship and threat from China, they have massive stocks in preparation
for biological and chemical warfare. (They've also got massive stockpiles of
of small arms, with plans to "give everyone guns and grenades".) They
were required to pay for their own PPE - but the civil defense app was
used to let people know where the supplies were and they filled the holes
with their stockpile.

6. They did not do a "lockdown" but they did require mask wearing (rationed)
They used mandatory "push" messaging. Because they don't have HIPA,
they could and did send text alerts that said "Everyone who lives on block 7
your neighbors, the Chans, had COVID, report any contact with them and
self-monitor or report to your designated testing station". The culture of
public shaming was used as well "Fred Chan didn't wear his mask yesterday",
which is a powerful tool in their culture.

Taiwan

Deaths per million:0.4
Total Deaths :998
Population:23,847,385

But Freedumb....they say in the US.

Great post Paul btw

Taiwan has a pretty amazing hospital care system in terms of technology. I consulted there some years ago on some system integration projects. Every hospital and exam room has 24/7 audio monitoring, with is digitally recorded and retained. This gives them the ability to review any doctor/patient conversation that took place if there is any doubt about what was said. This made medical errors (common enough in the US) almost non-existent - not that doctors don't still make errors, but that they are caught almost immediately and if their is any question "what is that note? What does this handwriting say." They can just call up the visit and listen.

New York has its first case of the Brazilian coronavirus variant

March 20, 2021, 1:51 PM PDT / Updated March 20, 2021, 2:12 PM PDT
By Dennis Romero

New York has its first case of a contagious coronavirus variant first found in Brazil, Gov. Andrew Cuomo announced in a statement Saturday.
The patient with the P.1 variant was identified at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City, the governor's office said. The patient is a Brooklyn woman in her 90s "with no travel history," according to the statement.

Her potential local contacts were being tracked, according to Cuomo.

The Brazilian variant is among a number of rapidly-evolving versions of the virus that are causing concerns for health officials. They're also tracking the B.1.526 strain in New York, the B.1.1.7 U.K. variant, the B.1.351 strain from South Africa and the California variant called B.1.427/B.1.429.

The Brazilian variant was first detected in the United States in late January. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has called it one of the "variants of concern" because it has potential for increased transmission and harsher symptoms.

Mask up people, the variants will get you!

You're surprised? Lol

[MissMandy86]

Ya know whats going to be funny about this ?
The left is getting vaccinated

The ones that are refusing it are all right wing whackos

So in like .. 6 months the liberals will be vaccinated

Anyone who catches covid .. anyone who dies from covid
Will be Republican..

And we can call this the Republican virus

Biden said you guys might be able to gather in small groups on the 4th of July if you obey the rules. Be sure to wear two masks.
