Of course, we've known this for a year.

Covid-19 is a disease that strikes the old and the infirm.
80% of the deaths over age 65, a median age of 80, and 96.5% of the deaths occur in people with multiple comorbidities. 65% had 6 or more!!!

3/n

Our leadership attempted to change our way of life in a self-inflated & futile attempt (many times laced with a desire to gain power or enrich themselves) to prevent the old and infirm from dying.

As if they ever had or ever will have that power.

The data doesn't lie.

4/end
5/ps

Covid-19 didn't take down our young & healthy. Medically, is it good and right to try and save the old and infirm? Of course it is. Utilize our amazing doctors and hospitals. Ethically, is it good and right to destroy our way of life to save the old and infirm?

Nope.

Team Reason had Fauci pegged for a year or more.

When I review my Covid Twitter life, theres so many examples of calling out his duplicity, his hypocrisy. Outright lies. Some really funny ones that got some visibility LOL!

Lets go down memory lane, cuz why not

This one re: Rand vs Fauci on natural immunity got a ton of visibility

Watching for a Texas Border Covid-19 Sequel

Last Summer, the Covid surge in the Southern states, particularly Texas, was driven by Seasonality - specifically seasonality in the Southern areas of the Hemisphere. In Texas' case - the far south counties and Mexico.

1/ THREAD
The Border Counties along the Rio Grande comprise 9% of the total Texas population. During the Summer 2020 Wave, those counties were accounting for fatalities over 2.5X their population, nearly 25% of the entire state.

2/
Below shows the impact of the border counties to the Summer Wave as opposed to Winter 2020/2021 Wave.

Again, 9% of the population driving 25% of that first big wave. The second wave, not so much. Hench why previous chart shows Border is now just 18% of total fatalities.

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.

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!
