What is occurring right now is, the reserve CDC date-cataloged deaths, which are not yet reported by the states, are being reported by the states over time (hence the Gompertz arrival). While this might be academically/bureaucratically proper, it is morally & ethically bankrupt.

Yesterday there was a recorded 3789 deaths due to #COVID19 worldwide. This represents ~7% of daily deaths due to cardiovascular diseases or 14% due to cancer. Yesterday. a comparable number of people died of tuberculosis or of HIV/AIDS . weforum.org/agenda/2020/05…

Dr: It's a shame about Ed Fletch: That was a shame. To go suddenly like that Dr: He was dying for years. Fletch: But the end was very, very sudden. Dr: He was in intensive care for 8 weeks. Fletch: I mean when he actually died...that was extremely sudden. #FletchBackFriday

FRAUD!!!!! If there is a reason to shut down the WHO, here it is. Cass Sunstein is the poster child of pseudo-empiricism. He failed to get pandemics early on and missed on the difference between additive & multiplicative risks. FRAUD!

Valid question - we shut down our nation, without rigorous scientific evidence to back that decision. Epidemiologists are not value chain nor markets experts. They do not know the ramifications of an economic shutdown. This is why science is not a license to assume royalty.

Same playbook they have used in the nutritional space. “The reason the food pyramid hasn’t improved the health of the nation is that people don’t follow it.”The reality is that food consumption has shifted in line with the recommendations. The recommendations are the problem!

Pres. elect Joe Biden claims extending federally supplemented unemployment benefits will help unemployed workers make ends meet while they look for work. In reality, they will extend the incentive not to work, as the benefits for not working exceed the wages earned from working.

If you think voter ID is racist, but a vaccine passport is just fine, you need some serious help thinking through public policy.

When everybody has had an opportunity to get vaccinated—it is soon—you must rip your masks off. Do NOT let the government or others in society bully you. Rip off your masks. Send your kids to school without masks. No guff no glory. Do it.

Please stop saying there is a risk of the Fed making a mistake: they are cresting Niagara Falls in a barrel. There are no more mistakes to be made.
