And, even then, I think it's clear I'm fucking pissed.
You see, we are now on mutation number... FOUR now? First, Delta, Lambda, now I'm hearing about a Mu variant of this...
Let me give you some of the stories I've seen just this week:
1) There was a Arizona school in which a female principal ordered a student quarantined after a positive COVID test (not even sure if that student was positive or whether it was a contact-tracing situation). The student's father, another male, and a third male (along to document it) acquired the industrial twist-ties police use in mass-arrest situations. They planned to arrest the principal. They left after police were called -- it's unclear on what the principal or the school will do next.
2) A fistfight and a long litany of Republican Karens crying (instead of painting their pussies with targets so their "betters" (Ha!) know where to grab) made Don Lemon speechless, as he had to cover this situation in a school-board meeting. CNN has the transcript of Lemon's Tuesday night show -- start at the 45 minute mark. ([22:45:00])
200,000 _KIDS_ testing positive in the last week, a five-fold increase in a month.
GEE, YOU THINK THE REASONS THIS IS HAPPENING IS BECAUSE OF MASK REFUSALS AND, AS A RESULT OF MASK REFUSALS, WE SHOULDN'T BE PUTTING THE KIDS BACK IN REGULAR SCHOOL SITUATIONS YET?
Some of you Republicans need to get right with what you really want to do -- you want the "lessers" to get this virus and die. In this case, it's the LD and unpopular students you want to see piled up like fucking cordwood. Some of us who lived at least one of those horrors in school see this and understand what is being asked for.
(Well, it's either that or destroy the entire education system...)
Bitch (who compared the mask mandates to war crimes of the Germans in WWII): If you want to talk about the Holocaust and Nuremburg, maybe it's time you stop acting like them, you Nazi fuck.
3) Like you are the medical system, with reports now all over the country that entire states are out of ICU beds, medical oxygen, or BOTH!
4) Fox News' Tucker Carlson has demanded the arrest and prosecution of any person wanting to require the vaccine, and any person basically trying to do anything to stop the spread of the coronavirus and it's variants.
To his warped mind, it makes sense: He wants that 2-odd% die-off per wave of this until only his side remains. The problem is: Since he and his cannot control who dies, most of the people who are getting hospitalized, etc. from all this are unvaccinated people -- many of whom are on Fox News' right-wing demographic.
5) I could go over the list of people who've tested positive this week of some fame or the like, but I'm, instead, going to wrap this list by addressing a Libertarian/right-wing economic blog I read.
Karl Denninger's Market Ticker, every month, covers the Bureau of Labor Statistics unemployment numbers on the first Friday of the month.
Last month, Denninger sent up a red flag. This month, he sent up a second.
In so doing, he posted this chart on his blog yesterday. I blew it up to the full-page picture of the chart, so that you could see what he's basically implying here.
The column he keys on, in red (since he only shows the last few months -- for reasons he deems obvious and I will explain) is the 12-month rolling increase (in thousands) of what is the non-institutionalized 16+ population of this country -- the number of people added to this country who are 16 years or older and not in an institution or prison. So the 2021-01 number means everyone who was added, net, to that population in 2020. 2021-02 is Feb. 1 2020 to Jan. 31 2021. And so on.
As Denninger keenly points out, there's only three ways you reduce this number on your own part: You either go to prison or other institution, you leave the country, or you die.
Denninger is basically pointing out that the roll number for 2021-08 (Sep 1 2020 to Aug 31 2021) is half the roll number from 2021-01 -- 965,000 vs. 1,942,000. That's an unheard-of number in 30 years of his research of BLS statistics. And since there is no real expatriation out of the country and not such an increase in the prison population which would permanently wipe out such a roll, he attributes the deaths to a million people (at least!!!) dying to the vaccines.
Well, Karl, there are three possible alternatives.
1) You are correct that the vaccines, as the Right and Libertarians have been claiming, have already offed at least a million (and probably two or more million) Americans.
To which I have two responses:
a) If you are right, what the fuck are you waiting for in basically shooting everyone who Tucker Carlson would want to see arrested (including me)? Why do I say this? Because, for the people purporting this and forcing it, it would be a full-on Holocaust. And, for the rest of us, we'd be time-bomb level carriers of this stuff, as studies you and your side point out time and time again. Both groups would have to FORCIBLY and IMMEDIATELY eliminated for the health and safety of the remaining (right-wing) population.
b) This country becomes instantaneously ungovernable at all levels -- because no government of any realistic kind could be entrusted to anything at that point. Everything politically collapses, with the same instantaneous effect.
2) There aren't as many people giving birth.
I could see that as a possibility. One of the things I did many years ago was took one look at this society and felt that, in no way could I do a child justice. For many reasons (economics, MGTOW, etc.), it could be very easily said that the decision is no longer made to have children. That said, however, you have a real problem with families and couples forced to stay home for the better part of 2020 to have that stick.
(In fact, a later post in the forum regarding this post shows the relevant birth numbers to be completely consistent and flat for that period in 2005 -- 16 years before this.)
3) Or, the third possibility and the one I think most likely: The same thing is happening here in the USA which happened in China almost two years ago: A deliberate multi-dimensional coverup of the true COVID death toll by a multiplicative factor.
Remember, they just had a survey come out which said that, even though the current case number (according to WorldMeters data, which basically takes the official numbers) as of this morning (5 AM Pacific Time Sept. 4, 2021) is 40,703,674, that, even as of December 31, 2020, the belief of a recent Jeffrey Shaman, PhD study at Columbia University, that fully one-third of the United States population has had the coronavirus at least once.
That would be, given current population estimates by the Department of Census, one-third of approximately 332,700,000, give or take. Or over 110,000,000 coronavirus cases -- an underreporting by almost a factor of THREE. (And remember, that is the current case number vs. the study's belief of the number of cases at the end of 2020!)
Consider, then, what happens if the death number is also being (and deliberately so) underreported by three: The official number from WorldMeters again, is, of this writing, 664,935.
That underreporting would mean that AT LEAST 2 million people have died to the coronavirus since this started.
Well, if you take the kids into account, would this difference of about 1.33 million explain a good part, if not all, of the drop in that roll number Denninger is quoting?
But, just as I believe China did in the opening days and weeks of all this, I believe the USA, to prevent panic (and there's enough of that to go around in any feasible event!), is deliberately underreporting this total by at least three, if not five or more.
And THAT is why I think you are seeing the ICU beds full, the needed medical oxygen empty, etc. and so forth.
Karl, you best hope you're right. I best hope I'm right.
Because one of us is deathly wrong!
