I accidentally cut off the previous COVID resource #stablethread so will be continuing here. Here are the ones that were cut off:

Lockdowns do not work in countries that do not do it immediately and fully (like New Zealand). If you miss the window they do not work. They need to be abandoned as policy for suppressing a virus but now its political so they wont be:

Can we pretty please start acknowledging that the Swedish experiment is the winner and get on with our lives?

I know your scared but fear is a bad place to make decisions from.

Seriously our western freedoms are at stake:

Arent experts supposed to be right?

Apparently this isnt Ferguson's first rodeo:

I have not read this yet but came from a trusted source so will be reviewing later:

nationalreview.com/2020/10/stats-…
Lots of those videos that came out when the virus was still in China now seem to be part of a bot fueled propaganda campaign to influence global policy towards lockdowns (which have flimsy evidence, but fear makes the meaningless):
In evolving situations we know way less than we think we do, the data is not as solid as it seems. Think about how covid deaths are reported for people who are already sick with other things. I wish skepticism was more widely held among the population

How the CDC came to the recent IFR (infection fatality rate) numbers:

Lockdowns are magical thinking.

This is what I've been thinking for awhile. The amount of fear that went through social media networks was so intense. It makes sense that catching what seemed to be very dangerous to all age groups in the beginning leads to long term issues with PTSD.

Is this accurate?

Three epidemiologists from Harvard, Oxford and Stanford discuss how our focus should be placed on the forest of public health instead of the tree of covid19. Lots of specialists out there completely ignoring the forest for the trees:

Its like society went on a 7 month meth bender and some are starting to wake up to the crazy things that have been done in the name of "science" (very little of it was science). The ones who are still in denial about the meth addiction yell at those people city-journal.org/lockdowns-must…


Some more hard numbers on those costs of lockdowns which we couldn't even discuss as something important to consider
Look it's evidence based! Science ! Progress!

What a joke.

Simulation is getting strange:

Risk proportion for infectious respiratory viruses:

Puts our myopia into a proper perspective. Seriously. I know its hard but it's time for a lot of you to update your mental models on how deadly this virus is. Put it into perspective. Humans cannot eliminate all risk of death.

My friend Tim, bringing the data. Here is the source he links to. The rise in cases in NYC is NOT related to another spike but a rise in testing with its attendant false positives. NYC should open fully. coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/indivi… Image
So apparently respiratory viruses compete with each other for victims. 98% drop in flu this year:

Consensus on suppression of infectious respiratory viruses through non pharmacological means between february and march 2020 its kind of shocking. Show this to anyone who brings up "consensus driven evidence based medicine" when it comes to lockdowns:

You know I like questions. These are some excellent ones:

What happened in Florida 3 weeks after re-opening:

Not much :

Seems pretty damning for idea that masks stop spread. Most of Europe is wearing masks and yet cases are still going up:

Some sweet graphics going over hospitalizations, deaths and cases currently:

You may have seen articles about Sweden giving up its no lockdown strategy.

Fake news. Again. MSM just wont quote with the lies and mistruths:

Here is some good info on excess deaths in 21 industrialized countries from February to May:

nature.com/articles/s4159…
Please stop saying that Sweden has been proven wrong or that nyc has a second wave. Those are not true:

Out of control:

This is the right answer:

You should be very angry about this. Apparently a lot of all those excess deaths people were talking about are from the lockdowns themselves:

How many more months of lockdowns not working will it take to convince you that lockdowns do not in fact work at stopping an infectious respiratory virus which has reached widespread community transmission?

Well that certainly puts things in perspective :

The world has gone mad:

Latest graphic on the situation in europe with the first wave in consideration:

I just wish I could see what this actually says 🤣

About those excess deaths that were used as an excuse to continue lockdowns. A lot of them were probably tied up with the lockdowns themselves :

Lot of us have lost all perspective. Here is some for those who still seek an understanding grounded in the whole:

Sweden has not changed course although the media has continued to make that up in their magical thinking lala land:

Interesting synopsis of long covid although this is from June. Id like to see something more recent :

The simplest answer on long covid is that it is similar to other mild infectious respiratory viruses particularly now that we know the ifr is similar to the flu. Here is a great thread on long term issues with other infectious respiratory viruses

Brilliant thread on what is happening with PCR testing, the main way that testing for covid19 is happening

Fits with what the consensus said about lockdowns before January 7th 2020. Funny how the only thing that changed after january 7th was the consensus. If the consensus changes so easily without any extra evidence than we shouldn't rely on only consensus.

A new #stablethread on what I have learned about the principles of movement from riding skateboards all around the world.

To see the big kahuna thread of movement from which these insights are derived check this one out.

Skateboarding primarily trains balance, particularly balance under high stress of falling down at high speeds. Its not like a bicycle where you feel more secure. Riding a penny board means balance must be impeccable. I didn't start when I was young, I actually started at age 27.
Today I learned that skateboarding is preparation for single legs squats and single-leg squats can help with balance and strength on the skateboard. The stabilization required to remain balanced while moving is high. Notice in this video that I'm doing a mini one-legged squat.

Going to start an anatomy #stablethread.

First this amazing graphic of the cranial nerve. Cranial nerves are interesting because they exit directly from the skull rather than through the spinal cord. One of the most interesting ones is the vagal nerve
Its interesting because its a cranial nerve but instead of staying around the head in descends all the way down to the internal organs and innervates them giving them juicy relaxing neurotransmitters which make us feel all fuzzy inside.
I was prompted by this tweet to dig into which cranial nerve is related to Bells Palsy and its the facial nerve. Ive had issues with this nerve as well because of a operation gone wrong on my Tendomanibular joint

I've long been on the trail of a theory of movement and why modern humans are so maladaptive to physical environments. It just came to me in words. In nature there are two things you never see:

Shoes and Chairs
It's not to say that these tools aren't very handy. If I were trudging through the artic I would want me some shoes.

But when was the last time you walked outside barefoot on a sunny day? How often do you see others doing that?
Shoes:

They block a certain type of receptor called a pacinian corpuscle. These receptors sense vibration in the surfaces you touch. If your feet only touch the inside of your shoes you are essentially starved from sensation. Better to walk barefoot 5 minutes a day to train.
