Parallax View - part the twentieth

Another week's up, so here are today's numbers:

  >= 1,000 - 286
100 to 999 - 1,264

(New) grand total of counties reads at 3,084. While I've not gotten into an argument with the Topo folks over this re-definition of 'affected' counties, it certainly looks like a move to bolster ex-President AuH₂O 2020's perpetual lying.

The Kiddie Korps has been at the back of the bus, smoking weed, during this catastrophe, on the whole. Then this report comes walking by.

For your sake, the sake of our community, and for continuing our semester on campus, please observe health protocols," [Norte Dame university president Rev. John I. Jenkins] said. "Avoid behavior that puts yourself or others at risk.

Today, we find that more and more schools are being infected.

Universities in at least 19 states have reported outbreaks, despite health protocols on campus. Many outbreaks are tied to large group gatherings like parties, leading some schools to suspend students and organizations for breaking social distancing rules on and off campus.

Will we ever find out the number of cases?

Many of these gatekeepers have pointed to medical and educational privacy laws as reasons to withhold even basic counts of coronavirus cases. That's despite federal guidance saying those laws aren't barriers to disclosure and legal experts who note that schools can share information as long as they don't identify individuals.

If you don't test and you don't report, 'it disappears like a miracle'.

Was on the verge of posting, when I made a belated run through today's NYT. And found this report on sports and covid. Yikes!!! Is all I can say.

Then, by early August, shortly after the German study was published, examples began to surface of otherwise healthy athletes showing signs of myocarditis after they recovered from Covid-19. Boston Red Sox pitcher Eduardo Rodriguez was sidelined for the season. The Indiana freshman lineman Brady Feeney's doctor was concerned about Feeney's heart after a difficult bout with the virus. A 27-year-old former Florida State basketball player, Michael Ojo, who had recovered from the virus, died of an apparent heart attack at a practice in Serbia.
[my emphasis]

Much of the reporting is about the cover-up of college athletes' experience with Covid. The reporting states that some studies show up to 15% of recovered Covid patients with myocarditis. How many of them have to die before the cover-ups end?

More and more this looks like ex-President AuH₂O 2020 is pushing a massive cover-up. The buckling of FDA over plasma is just another brick in the wall.

Dr. Paul Offit, director of the Vaccine Education Center at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia, said he thought it likely the White House pressured the FDA into pushing through the EUA.

"I think what's happening here is you're seeing bullying, at least at the highest level of the FDA, and I'm sure that there are people at the FDA right now who are the workers there that are as upset about this as I am," Offit told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.

HCQ all over again. Or, in the words of Maryanne Trump, "It's the phoniness of it all. It's the phoniness and this cruelty. Donald is cruel."
