How Deadly?

This is the shooting count by age (click for larger versions):


And here's the COVID count:


The comparisons are slightly off, but:
  • Chicago kids under 17 dead of COVID - 2 
  • Chicago "kids" under 19 dead of bullets - 85 
Looks like we should open schools if only to protect the kids from being shot.

Do you know what the median age of deaths was in Florida last week?
This is an old-person killer. And if you aren't old (or have 2.6 other co-morbidities like diabetes, heart disease, obesity, cancer, lung damage, CF, etc) then you do pretty well.

If you aren't keeping track at home, the US is on Day 180 of "15 days to flatten the curve." This is what the curve looks like in New York and New Jersey as compared to the rest of the country:


That looks pretty flat. Even the "secondary wave" is receding.

Open the schools. Open the businesses.

You're not being an obedient comrade, SCC. How dare you post logical and factual evidence? Now back to my regularly scheduled viewing of lemmings running to and fro wearing masks thinking that masks actually stop a virus that is .125 microns!

Larry officially crowned King Murder-Mayor. Look at those totals and the percentage increase. Congratulation, you're doing a bang-up job! The worst, very worst mayor the city has ever had to endure. The blood of children is on your hands. In truth, "Well I'm here now" Larry doesn't really care at all.

Summer 2020*: 343 killed, 1,606 wounded
Summer 2019: 172 killed, 890 wounded
Summer 2018: 210 killed, 924 wounded
Summer 2017: 240 killed, 1,068 wounded
Summer 2016: 276 killed, 1,292 wounded
Summer 2015: 213 dead, 998 wounded
Summer 2014: 158 dead, 848 wounded

Summer Shooting Season (vs 2019)
Shot & Killed: 317 (+104%)
Shot & Wounded: 1606 (+80%)
Total Shot: 1923 (+84%)
Total Homicides: 343 (+99%)


No mention of the crime totals or the black on black crime but rather continues to push the agenda with this hypocritical statement on twitter, "In a democracy, we should not hide or erase our history no matter how painful. It's why we'll see the President in court if he tries to pull funding from our schools for teaching the 1619 Project—an important discussion on slavery and its lasting effects". Groot playing the tough guy again, doing her best Edgar G. Robinson impression. Hey Larry what about those statues they all be tearing down? Erasing history perhaps? This 1619 Project is part of the rubbish CPS is pushing down the throats of nit-wit kids. Then goes on to say, "This isn't the start of a school year any of us imagined, but we're making sure that our students are set up for success—from access to free high-speed internet to no-cost daily school breakfasts and lunches." Yes, free internet and free meals are the keys to success. Now if they could only get the kids and the teachers back in the schools. If they can come get free meals come sit in class and make the lazy teachers earn their paycheck. Pity there are no investigative reporters left in this sorry city. CPS teachers surely don't want the parents to wake the fuck up and see the propaganda the commie teachers are dishing out via remote learning. It's a little late but perhaps some will wake up. Just pass them all and push more out the door nearly illiterate. The important things are the free stuff. Right, Groot? Defund CPS and the state universities too.

I’m a public school teacher, not CPS, and I’m begging our union to open the schools. Nope. Not gonna happen. They’re digging in for the long hall. We have “supervised learning” where kids are sitting shoulder to shoulder at desks in gyms and lunchrooms with paid aids wandering around making sure things don’t get too out of hand. Meanwhile, the online learning is a hot mess. This is RIDICULOUS!!!!

Children under the age of 12....11 dead...according to the Hey Jackass.... Children sitting in their car seats. Children playing in their yard. Children who should be in school. They should run an all year school schedule. Teachers and students would have the same time off...but broken up in a different way. Learning isn't lost and fewer children will be caught in gang crossfire. Why...because more of the time off will be in cooler months. There would be 3 weeks off in summer, 2 weeks off in early October, 3 weeks off at Christmas, 2 weeks off at Spring break.

If legislatures in this state had any balls they would lump teachers into the “safety” profession and not allow them strike like cops and firemen. Wouldn’t that be something? A dog with no bite...maybe then they could pay a “fair share” of the pension contribution like everyone else!

CNN and MSN have 1/4 of their screen dedicated to their inflated Covid deaths. 190,000? Oh brother. Yesterday neither CNN, MSN, or Reuters had even mentioned that the President was nominated for the Nobel Prize, but each had 11 complete bullshit opinion pieces attempting to slam the President for Covid. I've been clicking between them this morning, they have reported NOTHING but Covid bullshit.
My town is open. You can get a bite anywhere. You are required to wear a mask to enter but you can remove it when you sit. We have never had a spike. I have been in the hospital a few times recently, it is pretty much empty. We are not spiking at all.
In the past few weeks, the President ordered 2000 troops home from Iraq, and more some from Afghanistan. The UAE and Israel are signing a peace deal with more countries to follow. Serbia is signing a peace deal with Kosovo (they have been slaughtering each other since the 1300s) He is doing what "Sparklefarts" promised to do but didn't, he is getting the hell out of the Middle East. Who doesn't want that? I served in Iraq (4 tours), Afghanistan (3 tours), Bosnia/Kosovo for several years of rotations, and a "Peacekeeping Tour" in Egypt that started in the early 80s that we are still sending troops to today. Fuck the Middle East. I'm telling you from experience, there is no solution to the fighting.
Also, as of yesterday, 9 NATO countries have paid up their obligations. Never mentioned. I am not a far right-wing guy. I'm more of a Centrist. To be a Centrist, you have to watch several news sources and read between the lines. Not mentioning these positive aspects of this administration is criminal.

98% of the deaths they’re counting as Covids Plague, all had additional underlying health problems. The morgue is loaded with bodies due to reclassifications and the run on shot-deads. The Covid’s Cash Dash is keeping hospitals (and programs) profitable and finally the GOP Senate is on to the free money grab game. They’re not giving more money to States.
Dems could substantiate the MacCormicks Tent Hospital. JB can’t squeal about any PPE shortages. Larri managed to keep the beach closed all season long, let the protesters and rioters to destroy the city and still won’t hammer Cook County for letting violent and violence prone criminals walk out unscathed.

Larri yesterday is still pushing the Covid pandemonium, kept mum about stay at home teachers, and absolutely deflected on violent crime, but said murders are down. Duh, down from when, the +180 from July and August? We already surpassed last years total and Larri is taking a victory lap with the unenthusiastic low energy Hashé Browns expensive and failed Summer of Larri strategies.

It’s a damn shame the FakeNews won’t ever ask Poopy Face Diaper Mask Larri to substantiate or elaborate anything that come out of her trap. Larri still keeping 100 PO’s blocking the street and guarding her unattended führerbunker?

Larri and JB Pigfluenza have no accomplishments on their 1 yr report cards other than doing what the DNC told them to do. Ghost town downtown is not even allowed to plan to open soon as the holiday season prep looms. Pooty Tang Larri and JB Pigfluenza think their dimmer switch approach is going to restore everything...after Donald J Trump is re-elected in November.

The mask were never intended to stop the virus. The masks are there to stop the droplets that the viruses spread via. The droplets are large enough that they are mostly contained by the masks.

The on-line learning is a joke. Everyone knows it and it is all political. They don't care about children. It is all about winning in November, beat Trump. Democrats do not care about the middle class, they actually hate us, because we do everthing the right way. When we protest in Springfield, we don't start riots. We obey the law, we listen to police. A vote for a Democrat is a vote for chaos, higher taxes, failing schools, and a complete takeover by the Chinese

I would like to know how a President like Trump is different than an Obama administration and how it impacts local law enforcement agencies. I ask this because with so many corrupt Democrats doing everything in their power to undermine you, how will a second Trump administration improve your lives with evil creatures like Groot and Jabba running the show. Be safe officers.

Yeah, but....its the unknown, long term effects of Covid (or any Novel virus) that we have to worry about. Already evidence of damage to the organs (particularly the heart) to an abnormal percentage of the healthy population. If you can avoid getting it, you probably should. Cautious, but not paralyzed.

Great article, worth reading in its entirety.

https://www.atlassociety.org/post/small-signs-of-hope-that-lockdowns-could-soon-end

Some highlights:

And yet here we are with a political class, all over the world, refusing to admit error and fearing the reopening because they don’t want to be seen as reversing course on the most catastrophic policies in modern history.

And yet, there are some signs of hope. Small ones. We shall see.

A medical advisor to Boris Johnson, Prof. Mark Woolhouse, a member of the Scientific Pandemic Influenza Group on Behaviours, has actually admitted that the government had no idea what it was doing and so completely panicked with lockdowns.

***

On Monday and without announcement, the CDC has revised its recommendation on testing: no longer do people without symptoms need a test. Now, one might think that is very obvious. Why would any healthy person not in a vulnerable group subject himself or herself to a test if he or she doesn’t feel sick? Right now, kids all over the country are being forced to take this invasive test just to be in school or to work, and the testing keeps happening again and again. From now on, the CDC recommends treating Covid-19 like any other disease. Remember too that the number of asymptomatic carriers could be as high as 70%. In addition, the World Health Organization’s admission that asymptomatic transmission is very rare is supported by all available evidence.

There’s another factor too. For months now, the media has discovered that they can get clicks and generate public alarm by headlining increased cases, and governors can continue lockdowns merely by citing case data. Some people sarcastically call this the Casedemic. Truly, every day it makes one want to scream at the TV: cases are not deaths; cases are not hospitalization!

So ending this would indeed be mercifully. But of course it’s a problem for governors invested in lockdowns, and therefore New York, Connecticut, and California immediately announced that they would ignore the CDC. So after yelling at everyone to obey the CDC no matter what, we find that they are happy to ignore the CDC insofar as it makes recommendations that contradict their political ambitions.

***

Given the level of duplicity and grotesque incompetence that has been revealed by governors over the last 5 months, I wouldn’t expect a quick admission and resolution. Governments don’t behave that way. They don’t look at or act on evidence, which is precisely why they never should have been put in charge of managing a virus outbreak. Still, they can’t keep truth suppressed forever; there will be a reckoning for what they have done at some point.

How does all of this get resolved? Probably not through contrition much less restitution for all the damage they’ve caused. It’s just an intuition for now, but I am guessing that there are many politicians at home and abroad who are already planning their next career moves, out of the public spotlight and the heat of a furious public for whom it is becoming increasingly obvious that these policies created a catastrophe.

Of course there will always be shameless outliers. Governor Cuomo, who presided over some of the highest death rates in the world and is responsible in part for the systematic destruction of the world’s great city, has a new book out celebrating his own heroism.

A HEPA filter absolutely will stop the virus. HEPA = P100 class mask, 99.97% blocks that size. N95 blocks 95% of the challenge particles at that size.

Two huge caveats:

1) the mask must be worn properly. <0.5% get fit tested. Loose or not covering your nostrils makes it useless.

2) you need to cover your eyes too. There's a duct where tears go from your eyes straight into the nasal cavity. Plus there are ACE2 receptors on the surface of the eye. Spray in your eyes can infect you.

So wear goggles + a good mask correctly and you are G2G.

The surgical masks protect others from your droplets, if you happen to be a carrier.

The cheap masks do little, but do stop major droplets from infecting others when the wearer is coughing and hacking.

Bandanas do nothing.

Face shields do nothing unless they are worn with mask & goggles. They do keep spit & spray off your face and out of your eyes.

Neck gaiters do nothing.

So here's the deal: it is MOSTLY an "old people killer" or comorbidity killer, but those old people aren't voting for communists. So do all us old retirees a favor and wear a mask.

Thank you and know we'd do the same for you! :)

Thank you for your service to our country. I'm assuming you are an educated individual, so why are you watching CNN and MSN thinking you're getting anything but propaganda? Maybe the fighting in the ME and elsewhere ends when the see eye a and other intelligence agencies stop creating them?

You are more informed on truth than almost all of the coppers I speak with each day. Most are too fucking busy to spend the time to properly seek and vet sources for truthful and accurate information. It's absolutely shameful that 90% couldn't articulate anything on the following subject matter....

FISA 702's
Crossfire Hurricane
Crossfire Razor
Five Eyes
Intelligence Community Assessment
Hammer (parallel surveillance)
Trump Doctrine (foreign policy)

And that is just a scratching of the surface of issues informed people should know. If you can't hold a conversation on just a few of these topics, shame on you!
