Social Distancing Has Done Nothing "SOCIAL DISTANCING", "SHELTERING IN PLACE" AND MASKS have done nothing to stem the spread of C19 infection. Here's the data supporting this assertion: By March 14 the US CDC estimated 38,000,000 to 54,000,000 cases of flu since October, 2019-- just in the USA. Covid-19 appeared and began spreading near the beginning of that same period. The distribution of the new disease was unrestricted. During that three-to-three-and-a-half month period from late November/early December, 2019, to mid-March 2020, fully a billion people flew on airplanes from everywhere to everywhere. This included tens of millions flying in to all points in the USA from places like Wuhan, China, infected areas of Italy, other places to which people infected elsewhere had traveled; in short, from EVERYWHERE. Eventually there was a limited restriction on entry of travelers from Wuhan put in place, but it didn't go into effect until January 31, only imposed a 14-day quarantine, and didn't apply to US citizens or residents. The next one (limiting entry from travelers from Iran) wasn't until February 29. A few more concerning travel from certain places in Europe only went into effect March 14 (and another concerning Brazil took effect in late May). In addition to being spread world-wide during the period in question, Covid-19 is purportedly much more virulent than the flu, with a much longer contagion window and much longer persistence on surfaces. Further, unlike the normal flu, for which there is a purportedly 40% - 60% effective vaccine that had been taken by on the order of 60% of children in the country and 45% of adults, projecting from last year's numbers, no prophylactic measures will have diminished anyone's susceptibility to Covid-19. Therefore... Long before the "six feet away" stuff [or masks, or "sheltering in place"] had become a 24/7 shamanistic drumbeat on every mainstream media outlet and began to be dictated by state governors on March 19, Covid-19 must have spread at least as far as had the more mundane, somehow not-panic-inducing flu during the same time. This means that after correcting for the slight difference in dates of incidence it can confidently be concluded that by mid-March at least 36 - 51 million Americans had already been infected with Covid-19. Plainly, the "shelter in place", "social distancing" and "masking" edicts and other associated martial law impositions that sprang up like evil liberty, prosperity, and rule-of-law-destroying toadstools in late March did nothing to mitigate whatever threat "the pandemic" presented. THEY WERE ALL TOO LATE TO KEEP THAT THREAT FROM BEING FULLY REALIZED.
NOW, BTW, IT'S REASONABLE TO WONDER, with 36 - 51 million C19 cases going by March 14 (again, before the "shelter in place" nonsense began)-- the bulk of them having run their dire course during the three prior months-- how many deaths from C19 purportedly occurred during that period in the USA? 97. Yes, just 97. Look at the following table from the CDC's National Center for Health Statistics (the first column, with the figures in bold, is the one that counts here):
36 - 51 million cases-- which is to say, 36 - 51 million Americans infected with the disease-- and only 97 deaths in three and a half months (and pretty much all of those in nursing homes, involving very old victims afflicted with co-morbidities). Hardly a horror-fest. Want to dispute my infection-rate analysis? Fine. Go for it. 'Cause here's the thing: 97 dead is barely even a noticeable case fatality rate (CFR). It isn't justification for edicts concerning "shelter in place", "social distancing", "masking" or any other panicky citizen behavior or draconian governmental response even if my numbers are off by an order of magnitude and the infected range is only 3.6 - 5.1 million. Even at the lower end (3.6 million infected) of that ridiculously low range 97 dead is a CFR of only .0027%! (To see why the numbers of declared C19 deaths suddenly escalated in late March, read this post.) BOTTOM LINE: "Social distancing", "sheltering in place" and masks-- and all the associated martial law impositions-- did nothing to mitigate the pandemic. All they did was test the waters as to how far into self-destructive madness Americans can be driven by a cabal of corrupt politicians and presstitutes at the behest of the 1% who took advantage of the cover to loot the American economy of at least $2 trillion and climbing. |
