Texas - What's next?

As we shift to post-pandemia, we won't forget what we've learned. Last June, we saw a Mexico driven wave in the South Texas, so despite likely hitting HIT already, we will watch

Meanwhile, hosps down 86.2% since 1/11 peak & 55.5% since end of Mandates

1/
I'll keep an eye on these hosps numbers going forward but won't be posting as much about them. We are nearing Pandemic lows across the board.

Especially ICUs. Raw numbers competing with April 2020 when hospitals were virtually closed.

This thing is over, now what?

2/
In the coming days I will update the below reporting. Best thing I have in my arsenal for "seasonality" is to watch the #s coming out of the border counties.

Because what has Mexico's vaccine rollout looked like? What's their HIT? I don't know.

3/end

4/ps

So of course I will continue to post on Covid Passports, getting laws passed to restrict Exec Authority, elections, etc.

But as far as Texas, I'll be watching the numbers for any hint of attempts to restart the panic engine. Too many lessons learned at this point to not.

As balanced an article as you will see USA Today put out on #Covidpassports. However, it repeats some arguments for that are easily countered if you're educated on it.

* Existing Vaccine requirements have a myriad of medical & religious exemptions

1/n

usatoday.com/story/news/hea…
* Mentions the difficulty of identifying the vaccinated. No mention of the 30%+ of the population with natural immunity. Hammer that any and every opportunity
* These states moving to ban #VaccinePassports will only make the ID system more difficult. Support that.

2/n
* Mentions how paper vax cards are easily forged. In order to overcome this, it will have to be an electronic system. When this happens you are now treading into PHI & HIPAA arguments
* Mentions discrimination and sub-class of people. Now you are treading ADA

.@CDCDirector is completely incompetent.

Look, besides crying again ("Impending Doom"), citing raw case totals when last May 11 there were like 57 tests run per day in the US and now its 1.3M per day, is basic Covid 101 that this Twitter account learned 13 months ago.

Good Lord
2/

The 7DMA positivity rate, just hit a PANDEMIC LOW 2.85%. Positivity rate is a crude metric in and of itself, but its a hell of a lot better than RAW CASE NUMBERS.

This is who is running the CDC? Hasn't even graduated from Covid 101?

Good Lord

3/

I found a tweet of mine from May 2020. On 5/11/2020, 24,000 positives on 290,000 tests. Positivity of 8.2%.

Today the Positivity rate is 2.85% on 1.275 MILLION TESTS!

The amount of incompetence amongst our public health officials is astounding!

Ugh. Me also remember that day when Witch Doctor Fauci say "risky. "Dangerous."

Witch Doctor Fauci prolly think risky because he might see less money on check from Pfizer.

Here is cave drawing, showing him like usual, point in wrong direction!

Red State Trailblazers Town Hall...question on schools to Gov Abbott. He talks about Telsa, Oracle moving their HQ to Texas. Geez

1/n
DeSantis says Florida legislature is going to pass a Vaccine Passport law that will apply to businesses as well as government, that he will sign. Will supercede his executive order.

Abbott says he will work with industry. He does manage to mention the EUA of vaccines.

2/n
I like Kim Reynolds of Iowa a lot BTW. Its crazy how far out front DeSantis and Florida are on these initiatives. Defund the Police/Riots? Florida already done. Everyone else working on it.

.@districtai's story about how he started down the path of Covid Analyst got me to thinking about my own journey.

Here was my first "thread" on Covid. Couldn't even string the tweets together LOL. Talking about IHME and Covid Tracking Project.

1/n

The IHME numbers being so terrible, predicting Texas would max out its hospitals on April 12, and we not even hitting 10%, just made me dig harder.

Started doing graphs. They were sad, terrible graphs, you can barely read them. LOL

2/n

Found Berenson, The Ethical Skeptic early May. I remember the first time TES responded to me, I thought I had arrived, LOL. It just kind of took off from there, kept learning, about seasonality, stratification, IFR, the Texas Border. Off I went.

The Branch Covidian Church, a "Cult of COVID," is the fastest-growing religion in the world, whose spread has been made possible by the powerful public-health establishment & large corporations.

The Branch Covidian cult of Covid has its own clerical elite, commandments & modesty norms. Its fanatic adherents shame and silence heretics for defying the public orthodoxy.

The faith’s First Commandment: Thou shalt stay locked down.

Other Branch Covidian commandments

* Thou shalt always wear a mask
* Thy children must suffer a lack of education & socialization
* Thy liberties are subservient to the greater hypochondriacal & tyrannical good
