Just popped up that the South African variant has been discovered in South Carolina.

Buckle up, buttercup.

Why do we have to buckle up?

Why do we have to buckle up?

The South African strain eats masks!!

Well, I could've said something about a prophylactic, but didn't want to be too explicit.

According to some measures, the South African variant has a good chance at causing worse results than the current variant.

N.Y. Severely Undercounted Virus Deaths in Nursing Homes, Report Says (Published 2021)

The state attorney general, Letitia James, said it’s likely that the Cuomo administration failed to report thousands of Covid-19 deaths of nursing home residents.

www.nytimes.com

"ALBANY, N.Y. — An investigation by the New York State attorney general has concluded that Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo’s administration undercounted coronavirus-related deaths at nursing homes by as much as 50 percent.

The count of deaths in the state’s nursing homes has been a source of controversy for Mr. Cuomo and state Health Department officials, who have been sensitive to any suggestion that decisions made at the outset of the pandemic may have caused some of those deaths, which the state puts at more than 8,700."

Wha????????

A democrat underreported the deaths he caused with his knee jerk, asinine lack of leadership?

Say it ain't so......

 

[nonobaddog]

No big deal - he isn't responsible for his actions.

Trump isn't president anymore, so they're OK with pursuing an investigation against Cuomo now.

I suppose his brother will stick up for him on CNN.

Nationally, our absolute CFR has crept up in the last 10 days from 1.66% to today potentially hitting 1.69%.

Difficult to tell if it is a change in test numbers (I don't track that) or what. I really don't think the virus itself is any more (or less) fatal.

And sure, it is a nominal increase, but it suggests a larger trend since the beginning of the year.

It's so very good to see people telling the truth about the bank bug and what is being done to the world. This time from Wisconsin.

So we are now at the end of January. Biden is in office, formerly lockdown-forever states are opening up. When is Indiana going to dump the masks and the remaining capacity restrictions, or overrule the Doomer Democrat counties? It's been a year and I still can't sit at a damn bar!!!

Is a change of 0.0003 ever statistically significant?

In a nutshell....

Fauci supposedly ignored a 2104 ban on the type of research which created the Covid virus. Obama banned the research due to posing too much of a threat if something went wrong. Instead of stopping, Fauci (reportedly a big fan of the research) simply contracted the research out which eventually led to the release of the virus from the Wuhan lab. No one is saying it was intentionally developed as a weapon or that it was intentionally released.

I found it interesting

The literal answer to your question, of course, is "yes."

The better question would be is it ever 'clinically' significant.
