The Corona Virus

[Supersub6]

Florida’s Delta surge appears to be peaking. The chart below (from this very useful site) shows that, as of the week ending August 12th, the weekly increase in the percentage of Covid tests coming back positive has slowed almost to zero, meaning it should begin to drop soon. Indeed, the positive rate and new reported cases have already begun to fall in the north east of the state.

Since Florida’s Governor Ron DeSantis has refused to impose any new restrictions at all during this surge, having allowed the state of emergency to end in June, the Sunshine State looks set to confirm once again that coronavirus surges are self-limiting and it is not necessary to impose draconian restrictions on the population to prevent hospitals being overwhelmed or ‘hundreds of thousands’ of deaths.

Having had a very low infection rate throughout the spring despite imposing no restrictions, Florida has seen a large surge in infections during the summer since the arrival of the Delta variant, adding to evidence that surges are primarily driven by new variants which disrupt the previously established herd immunity by partially evading the immune response. The end of the surge after a few weeks of renewed spread therefore corresponds to the restoration of herd immunity. If this is correct, we should see new infections drop quickly across the state in the coming weeks."

Will this news see the light of day on the BBC or in the Grauniad, of course not, it doesn't fit the narrative. Will our fruitcake politicians and mad scientists take any notice, of course not, they have computer models to play with and backs to cover, never mind what happens out there in the real world.

Me and you Sub, Sam Wignall and Jock Bentley taught us what the real world was. I took it all on board, it was best to.

Although in this case it's what's actually happening in Florida, as opposed to some fruitcake scientist at Imperial College peering at his computer screen and predicting a load of bollox.

''This world is a relative truth, we and all of it, are the thought waves of that ''Supreme Being ,Cosmic mind , God ,what ever you want to call it. We all came from it and we all will return to it.''

''This world is a relative truth, we and all of it, are the thought waves of that ''Supreme Being ,Cosmic mind , God ,what ever you want to call it. We all came from it and we all will return to it.''

I think the best way to explain it Balan, is that Burnley are, at the moment, in the Premier League, this is not the real world, it's a fantasy world, a dream-like experience if you will, next season they'll be in the Championship, and we'll be back in the real world.

Maybe a slight adjustment, remember it's all relative. I think if BT ,pops into church Sunday mornings it could make all that difference.
Then again if it was a Mormon temple ??? It could then be, ''its not what you know it's who you know''? Collections of course going towards buying new players!

there's this guy....he's a complete and utter moron, but somehow, he was allowed into a position of influence, he spouts total shlit, and acts like he's playing the part of a Gestapo commander in some sick movie, whats funny is - he believes his own pitiful exaggerations - but what isn't funny....folk are going along with it.

Here we go, exactly as predicted, first it's Scotland, we'll be next.

"Scottish Government wants to make emergency Covid powers permanent
SNP accused of trying to tighten control over Scots' lives by extending ability to impose lockdowns, shut schools and make people wear masks"

Is there anyone out there still dumb enough to think this is just about a virus ?

Sadly Norder, judging by the number of people still walking around in the open air in the Ribble Valley, with masks tightly strapped on from under their chin to just below their eyes, the answer must be YES. Millions of them. We're doomed.
