2/ The seasonality becomes even clearer when showing this by calendar weeks.
The inclination of the earth makes this happen: Seasons.
Season modulate UV light exposure, temperature and humidity. Those drive respiratory diseases. Main parameter: UV.
3/ Notice the heavy seasons 2017 in New Zealand.
Why was there no general panic? Does the NZ Covid response appear rational when comparing with Sweden in 2020?
No. But we know this.
4/ This is how the yearly ASMR trend looks like.
For new Zealand, the calendar year is also the natural flu season year. For Sweden, we would need to shift the date by 6 months. We will do that, but first here the calendar comparison.
5/ For new Zealand, the calendar year is the natural flu season year. For Sweden, we would need to shift the date by + or - 6 months. Backward is likely better, as diseases will start in the northern hemisphere. NZ will probably lag in every season (they get it last).
6/ So comparing north and south hemisphere gets a bit tricky when using date aggregation. But some classic MGMT style PowerPoint engineering (and transparent colours) works wonders here. PPT is the main MS product, that I really like.😅
SWE is green, NZ red here.
7/ Summary: It doesn't make any sense what NZ is doing. The direct comparison with Sweden, a country located in a challenging climate with respect to seasonal diseases, shows this clearly.
NZ: stop the absurd Covid response.
8/ Find here the extended substack version which includes some words about the record flu season 2017 in NZ.
2/ Using mortality.org as source is less accurate as only one large 15-64 bin is available for this band. That creates a bias which underestimates the ASMR. For emerging countries (life expectancy <65), such a large bin is far too wide.
3/ The overlay shows effect. Standardising with large bins, creates a bias which underestimates the ASMR.
2/ Germany: Going deeper on the which group is dominating the excess, we see mainly 65+. The needed vaxx CFR to make this are beyond any reasonable plausible assumption. Again, many countries directly contradict this (SWE, NO, NZ...)
2/ Now here the comparison USA - Sweden. Shown are age specific mortality rates for the group 15-64 years.
The 2021 excess in US is drastic. Sweden: under mortality. Also last year Sweden did fine on 15-64. Covid did not do this. Hysteria did. Stop it now!
3/ So let's also show the same age group 15-64 for the great pandemic year 2020 and show how Sweden "failed" (to kill the young) while USA was following the pope of science, Dr. Fauci.
