    Ilargi: Been following TAE well before Nicole spent New Year’s eve with our Transition steering committee in 2012, I think it was.
    In any case, Jon Rappaport published something yesterday where he referenced an editorial in JAMA written by Dr. Fauci in which Fauci wrote: If one assumes that the number of asymptomatic or minimally symptomatic cases is several times as high as the number of reported cases, the case fatality rate may be considerably less than 1%.

      This suggests that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 may ultimately be more akin to those of a severe seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.2

    (I hope I got the underlining to work properly)

    Here’s the link: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387

    Anyway . . . what is going on here ?

    Thanks for your valued opinion.

    Some things are already known instead of an author presenting their discovery of ARDS as a really really bad thing. Its unnerving to see how quickly a coronavirus or influenza victim goes down hill when they develop Gram negative sepsis associated with a Klebsiella pneumoniae superinfection.

    “ARDS is a very serious disease and unfortunately even with the best medical care the chances of dying from this disease are around 30 to 50%. Those surviving the disease will often have long hospital stays.”

    Doing a bit more shopping at the store yesterday with my wife before the real Hunker-Downer locks in, I saw that few people wore masks. Ten at most. (Wife and I wore a heavy scarf tied around the face.) The aisles were crowded with workers stocking items on shelves often significantly depleted (we managed to buy some TP!). Almost as many workers as shoppers, it seemed. Merchandise pallets everywhere every which way.

    Red ‘Stand Here to Wait’ floor decals every 6 feet where people line up to shop. Lots of rent-a-cops, none of them wearing masks or gloves. Our cashier wore gloves and appreciated us using our sani-wipes to keep the customer/checker interface area clean. I told her to *please* stop, take a deep breath, and stretch before starting on our purchase. Poor old gal was working herself dizzy and being wonderfully polite and cheerful.

    We held paper towels in our hands to reduce contagion as we handled purchase items. We did this as much to make other people think as for contagion prevention.

    Let’s see: one narrative says the thing leaked way last summer via Ft. Detrick. Now it’s all about the Gates ‘Billionaires Saving the Planet’ fora held later in October. We seem to be weaving a conspiracy temporal anomaly, captain.

    I don’t trust the durn gubmint to do the right thing or tie its shoelaces without hired help, but I don’t think it does anyone any good to run rabid with every suggestion that The Evil Cabal did it. It’s like ancient Cro-Magnons arguinbg whether the Annanuki bumped an asteroid in order to cause the Great Dino extinction.

    The point of the Gates epidemic prevention projects is to provide predictive prescriptions for managing the inevitable rogue pathogenic asteroid strike. The prevention/predictive been doing this for some time, with the aid of previous epidemics in recent times to help guide them. Turns out they happened to be mostly right, and the event happened after their prediction, not before (which is how predictions are supposed to work).

    The problem with the official 911 story line is that no one in authority talked publicly, and hardly anyone talked on record, beforehand about the likelihood of infrastructure being used against itself via terrorism, which was a no-brainer to any movie director or suspense novelist. We found it hard to believe the oaficial story line, and rightly so.

    Now the problem with Corvid-19 is that they were talking about it beforehand.

    I suggest we stopped inflating these bloated false idols know as Rich Assholes into magical demonic dark overlords with allegedly panoptical vision, omniscient wisdom, and omnipotent control of global resources. It worships fear uber alles. It continues to empower these same incompetent amoral lunatics while continuing to foster a sense of helplessness among us peasants.

    “Historians of the future, pan-roasting fresh-caught June bugs over their campfires, may wonder when, exactly, was the moment that the financial world broke with reality. ”

    I adore Jim Kunstler.

    While it’s a bit late, to put it mildly, it is at least action of the proper scale and severity. Russia is another nation whose people have been indoctrinated with a functional collective spirit even as its people hustly singularly for the almighty ruble.

    Do we need effectuaters again?

    To effectuate is to produce a result or make something happen.

    During the second world war the US government appointed effectuaters. These were people with absolute power whose job it was to go to factories, find any problems or bottlenecks, and sort them out, by any means.

    It does seem that such people would be useful in these circumstances. By ‘absolute power’ I mean they can override government departments [red tape], they can order things done and they WILL be done. Someone outside the normal management structure with the skill and intelligence to see what needs to be done and how to achieve it.

    [Note : my source was actually a science fiction story! I did use the idea to suggest a senior manager create a similar job in the IT department I worked in. He took up the idea and my suggestion of who that person should be. It turned out to be very successful.]

    “Long article returns to the bat/pangolin route. But still taking that as gospel today seems a bit out of sync.”

    I don’t think that secret underground government bio-labs are necessarily exclusive of bats and pangolins used as test animals. We don’t just slaughter and eat animals. We torture them for (often misleading) experiments in which they suffer for possiblre benefits whivch, if realized, do not benefit the animals, their offspring, or species.

    No prob for us to use unwilling live hosts to create bio-whatevers. We do it with humans too, cuz “inasmuch as ye do it to the least among ye” (like the animals we callously dominate), we set the template for doing it to ourselves.

    I suspect that before learning how to tame animals into beasts of burden, human slavery was virtually unknown. Start small, work your way up.

    “Dr. Fauci, Trump’s main medical/epidemic advisor, said yesterday that 200,000 Americans could die from COVID19. The same Fauci, as I quoted two days ago, recently changed his case fatality rate prediction from 1% to 0.1%.”

    As I mentioned in an earlier comment, Fauci didn’t actually predict a 0.1% CFR. But let’s go with that for now, to play with some more numbers. The total deaths in the US, from the chart above, is currently 2,438 rounded to 2,500. Assuming a CFR of 0.1%, the total number of cases currently in the US could be calculated as 2,500/0.1%= 2.5 million. (This would represent actual cases out there in the public, not just the recorded cases.)

    So, at what point would the total cases in the US reach 200 million, to result in 200,000 deaths? If the number of cases doubles every week, next week we’d have 5 million cases, the week after that 10 million… and 200 million cases (known and unknown) would be reached sometime during the first week of May.

    Again, this is just playing with numbers and assumptions. The curve will eventually “flatten” so that cases aren’t doubling every week.

    Correction, should be:

    riesterm, Doc R., hope the article I just published answers questions. And Doc, I know he didn’t “predict” it per sé, but at the same time he did. Fauci can’t say one thing and another the next day, not in his job.

    A treatment that has a 50% death rate seems to be a treatment that needs some tweaking.
    How does one clean a respirator? Does UVC sterilize each breath? How does one clean a hospital room? Do they throw out the beds? How much viral-covered waste is being generated here?
    How many go into the hospital with a moderately severe case and wind up maximizing the viral load?
    Where possible, perhaps hospital rooms should be outdoors under the light of the sterilizing sun.
    Would electrostatic masks work?
    How long before people start going crazy? Another SIX months?

    Finally the media admits Ontario is doing a crappy job of testing for the virus!

    They have finally admitted Ontario is only testing medical workers and those people so sick that they are admitted to the hospital! Their tent assessment facilities are just a smokescreen to keep people out of hospital ERs!

    Ontario, out of 10 provinces, has tested the least number of people per 100,000 people in Canada!

    BC has tested more than 3 times as many people as Ontario!

    I have been saying this on TAE for some time now.

    Sadly, Ontario lost the containment battle weeks ago!

    I wonder how long it will be before Quebec and Manitoba close their borders to Ontario!

    I noticed the CDC has been finally forced to allow the meds Dr. John Day told us about 3 months ago!

    But not before 2 Dem state governors banned doctors from proscribing these 2 meds! I wonder if doctors in these 2 states still have to abide by their governor’s bans? I can only think these 2 governors where more interested in protecting the big drug companies?

    Pentagon orders installations to stop reporting coronavirus cases as military-linked infections eclipse 1,000
    WASHINGTON — The Defense Department has ordered commanders at all of its installations worldwide to stop announcing publicly new coronavirus cases among their personnel, as the Pentagon said Monday that more than 1,000 U.S. military-linked people had been sickened by the virus.

    He pledged the Pentagon would continue to release near-daily updates of total cases among troops, DOD civilian workers, military dependents and defense contractors, which officials with Esper’s public affairs office have done for nearly three weeks. Those numbers have grown steadily with each release — eclipsing 1,000 cases in Monday’s announcement.

    As of Monday morning, the Pentagon reported 633 service members were among 1,087 total cases within the Defense Department community. Among those troops, 64 had recovered by Monday, while 26 were hospitalized. The latest data shows a dramatic increase in cases among troops since Friday, when the Pentagon reported 343 cases among service members.
