It appears the panic pushers are down to one last scare tactic: long-term effects (there is simply no longer any concern that COVID will grow exponentially and overwhelm hospitals or lead to piles of bodies).

1/5
If we're going to hold normal life hostage to long-term effects, there are many diseases with much greater prevalence and consequences.

Diabetes, for example. Life-long effects. Should we eliminate that before resuming normal life?

2/5
Not to mention car accidents. Lots of potential long-term effects from amputations, etc. Should we eliminate car accidents before resuming normal life?

How low should medical/accident risks be before we're allowed to decide for ourselves on our level of risk?

Len and I are finally watching Downton Abbey. When Spanish Flu hits the house, it's very interesting that nobody panics. They're concerned about those who are sick, yes, but everyone stands around the bed of the sick person, visitors are welcomed, etc.

1/7
This doesn't really say anything about the mindset in 1918 because it's fiction; what it tells us is that the writers didn't see any reason for the characters to panic, although it was well known at the time that many were dying.

And no masks!

2/7
I suspect those same writers are now huddled in their homes, begging everyone to stay home and wear masks.

What's the difference? I'm not even talking about motives... the difference is that media and social media went all in on making us afraid.

Is the rise and fall of COVID in Florida “inexplicable”?

A thread on non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPI).

alachuachronicle.com/is-the-rise-an…

1/16
Dr. Michael Lauzardo, Chief and Assistant Professor of the Division of Infectious Diseases and Global Medicine at UF, said, “We have seen the people modify their behavior. The use of masks, we believe, is what’s resulted in cases dropping inexplicably...”

2/16
He clarified that when people hear that reported cases are increasing, they go out less and wear masks more often.

So the hypothesis is that when cases started going up, people were more compliant about mask-wearing and also decreased their activity.

Let's hope Florida is nearly done mining their death certificates.

The median age of today's deaths was 93.

In case you haven't studied math in a while, that means that half of the 149 deaths reported today - HALF! - were older than 93.

1/4
85% of the deaths reported today were 85 years of age or older.

@HealthyFla doesn't provide dates of deaths in the case line data, but we can compare today's list with yesterday's list.

2/4
The earliest date of death in today's report was July 15, but 3 people on the list tested positive in May. That means a minimum of 60 days from testing positive to dying.

Another 2 had positive tests >30 days before the earliest death.

Dr. Scott Atlas joined @GovRonDeSantis for a press conference today, emphasizing that the U.S. is "the only nation among our peer nations that are hysterical about opening schools."

Atlas: "There’s a considerable cost to shutting down medical care, whether it’s cancer, chemotherapy, live organ donor transplants, cancer screenings, biopsies, immunizations, all kinds of things went by the wayside in the prolongation of the lockdown…"

2/14
Atlas: "The third part of the president’s strategy… is making sure that we safely open schools because we cannot sacrifice our children. There’s nothing higher on the national agenda than educating our children, and the harms of not opening schools are really tremendous"
