1900s. Caption reads "Immigration statistics for the past year show that the influx of foreigners was the greatest in our history, and also that the hard-working peasants are now being supplanted by the criminals and outlaws of all Europe."

That should be sufficient evidence that we are not the welcoming country we claim to be toward what sociologists would call "the other."

I would argue that this demonization of "the other" through our history really makes the US a nation of hate. I've paid attention to this as a problem in many other countries as I've traveled abroad.

I've been suspecting that there is much more COVID circulating than we know. The problem is that the scant data that we had keeps disappearing under this regime.
2- One of the few data sources right now is Google symptom searches. Here's the raw data for the US. I had noticed that these were increasing in many states as I was updating my website last evening.

Sometimes I see things that make me want to take a little deeper dive.

Same data set, but with linear trend lines. I use one month into the pandemic as a crossover to allow time for social services to normalize and to eliminate skewed data during the start. Dotted - pre, solid - COVID era. Image

Now some calculus. The dotted line is the six prior month derivative, the solid one is the six month moving average of the derivative. The distance above the black dotted line is proportional to the increasing rate of claims. Image

I read In the Garden of the Beasts in the spring of 2016, before the melon felon even had the Republican nomination. I found the parallels very disturbing.

2- When he got elected, I decided to fly to Munich to study the rise of Nazism right after the Inauguration. I wanted to understand how what was probably a normal population of people allowed it to happen. I could have just stayed here.
3- During the trip, I visited Dachau. I intentionally went on the rainiest, coldest day during my trip. I knew it would be nothing like the misery that was experienced there, but I wanted to feel something.

Back when we had good case data early in the pandemic, I could predict the day cases would climb about 10 days out with nearly 99% accuracy. Unfortunately, that data supply and resolution is long gone.

Now the earliest warning I can give is based on my observations of surges occurring when a variant becomes about 50% of submitted samples.

I was asked to talk about the risks of dust in healthcare at a regulatory and accreditation meeting tomorrow, so I put a few slides together this morning for it you might enjoy. Most are my images over the years with a few exceptions.
