stillnessinthestorm--2020-11-02--Figures Don’t Lie, But Liars Figure: Unemployment Figures Dramatically Favor Republican-Led States

( Ned Barnett ) August ’ s unemployment figures , just released by the Bureau of Labor Statistics , paint a remarkably consistent picture that correlates – almost uncannily – between low unemployment rates in states led by Republican governors and high unemployment rates in states led by Democratic governors .
Drawing national conclusions from the unemployment statistics for all fifty states , those Republican-led states that have tried to follow President Trump ’ s lead in reopening America are doing much better in terms of unemployment than are states likely to support Biden in November .
Former Vice President @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ’ s actions in fighting COVID , has yet to articulate a coherent COVID policy .

Talk about buyer ’ s remorse !
Perhaps more telling than just the extremes of both employment and unemployment figures , the Top Ten states – nine of which , as noted , are led by Republicans – average an unemployment rate of just 4.94 percent .
However , among the Bottom Ten states – nine of which are led by Democrats – @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Ouch !
As interesting as those paired numbers might seem – nine Republican led states are among the Top Ten states with the lowest unemployment , with only one Democratic led state – that pattern is completely flipped among the worst-case states .
Of those , nine are led by Democrats and only one is led by a Republican .
However , while that breakdown seems almost statistically impossible , this same pattern repeats when looking at the Top Fifteen states in terms of unemployment – twelve are led by Republicans while @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Flip that around to the Bottom Fifteen and you ’ ll find that twelve are led by Democrats and only three of the bottom fifteen are led by Republicans .
Also in there , though not counted , the District of Columbia ( tied with the “ best ” of the bottom fifteen states ) is also run by Democrats ( but not a Democratic governor – the District has a mayor , not a governor ) .
Finally , when splitting the states 50-50 , the same pattern still holds true .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ of low unemployment , sees eighteen states led by Republicans and seven led by Democrats .
In the bottom half , those numbers are again reversed , with eighteen of the bottom twenty-five states led by Democrats – plus the District of Columbia – and only seven led by Republicans .

Florida , the other state – this one Republican – that depends so much on conventions and tourist business has that 7.4 percent unemployment rate .
That ’ s not good , but it ’ s light years ahead of Nevada .
Here ’ s a simple chart for how that works : Figures don ’ t lie .
These raw numbers are published each month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ spreadsheet can easily calculate the average unemployment , top and bottom .
However , the reasons for these widely differing scores is a bit more complicated , but one bottom-line estimate that will stand up to close scrutiny is this : Democratic-led states are notorious for imposing crippling COVID-19 lockdowns , while Republican-led states seem to be looking for ways of restoring their economies and getting their residents back to work .
The CDC offers statistics that can be looked at in terms of cases , deaths per 100,000 , total deaths and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ these CDC statistics , there seems to be no clear corollary between the Governor and the death-per-thousand rate , suggesting that Democratic governors have trashed their states ’ economies without delivering a benefit ( a lower death rate ) .
Because it is such an outlier , the city of New York is treated in the CDC figures as the equivalent of a state – the only city to do so .
In this context , New York City has experienced 285 deaths per 100,000 population , more than 100 deaths higher than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ By contrast , the state of New York – absent the five boroughs of New York City – has a rate of “ only ” 82 deaths per 100,000 population , ranking it seventh from the bottom among the fifty states .
Of the ten best-off states in terms of COVID deaths , These numbers are largely supported by an ongoing study conducted by the New York Times .
This online , interactive study offers extremely detailed statistical information regarding COVID and the states .
However , because of the way the NYT @ @ @ @ @ @ @ figures , there is little correlation between their statistics and those of the CDC and the Bureau of Labor Statistics .
The NYT used different time-frames and different ways of reporting than did the other sources , which limited its utility .
Worse , intentionally or not , they often reported statistics in terms of percentages , instead of focusing on the total numbers of incidents .
In doing so , they create a false narrative regarding COVID deaths .
For example , in reporting on Nebraska , the state with the lowest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the NYT reported that COVID deaths during a one week period rose by an alarming 130 percent .
Every death is a tragedy , but by citing percentages instead of total deaths , they made the editorial decision to present this statistic in a way that made it sound horrible , and it would have been horrible … except … Except that during that same one week period , COVID deaths in Nebraska rose from just three to seven .
Compared to the thousands of American COVID deaths during that same two-week @ @ @ @ @ @ @ almost microscopically small , and hardly indicative of a 130 percent spike in reported COVID deaths .
Still , there is one remarkably comforting data set that speaks for itself , and which is truly compatible with the CDC and BLS numbers .
While the number of new diagnoses nationwide is climbing , the number of deaths per 100,000 population are dropping dramatically .
This trend tends to reflect society ’ s recent ability to significantly expand testing .
These new tests are catching millions of individuals who test positive without showing any @ @ @ @ @ @ @ because of the drop-off in COVID deaths , either the COVID virus is weakening , or our treatments are rapidly improving .
Perhaps both reasons apply .
Look at Nevada , which in August of 2020 was in last place in terms of unemployment , by a significant margin .
What ’ s happened here ( I say here because I live and work in Nevada ) is that the governor shut down all the casinos , all the restaurants , all the shows and entertainment .
Period .
He didn ’ t @ @ @ @ @ @ @ distancing and face coverings – no , Democratic Governor Steve Sisolak shut them all down , without exception .
When things started looking better , health-wise , he very cautiously started allowing a few of these businesses to re-open in a limited capacity , only to slam them shut again at the first sign of even a modest spike in cases diagnosed .
This start-and-stop-and-start-and-stop pattern by Governor Sisolak has crippled the hospitality industry on which Nevada depends for its economic survival .
Florida , which has a much saner policy toward trying @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an unemployment rate of roughly half that of Nevada .

Remarkably, these early-opening Republican-led states do not have a statistically-valid comparative rate of increase in COVID deaths, as presented by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, though the three states with the lowest death per 100,000 population are led by Republican governors.
Here’s how those unemployment numbers flesh out:
Of the Top Ten states (in terms of low unemployment rates), nine are led by Republican governors while only one is led by a Democratic governor – and that’s Montana, which is an outlier for sure. At the other end of the spectrum, unemployment in the Bottom Ten states in terms of unemployment breaks down as follows: one state led by a Republican governor –Massachusetts, another clear outlier – and nine led by Democratic governors. The range of unemployment by state runs from 4.0 percent in Republican Nebraska to a 13.2 in Democratic Nevada, which, after more than a decade of Republican governors, switched allegiance in 2018 by electing a Democrat to the state’s highest office. Talk about buyer’s remorse!
Perhaps more telling than just the extremes of both employment and unemployment figures, the Top Ten states – nine of which, as noted, are led by Republicans – average an unemployment rate of just 4.94 percent. However, among the Bottom Ten states – nine of which are led by Democrats – the average is a crippling 11.72 percent. Ouch!
As interesting as those paired numbers might seem – nine Republican led states are among the Top Ten states with the lowest unemployment, with only one Democratic led state – that pattern is completely flipped among the worst-case states. Of those, nine are led by Democrats and only one is led by a Republican. However, while that breakdown seems almost statistically impossible, this same pattern repeats when looking at the Top Fifteen states in terms of unemployment – twelve are led by Republicans while only three are led by Democrats. Flip that around to the Bottom Fifteen and you’ll find that twelve are led by Democrats and only three of the bottom fifteen are led by Republicans. Also in there, though not counted, the District of Columbia (tied with the “best” of the bottom fifteen states) is also run by Democrats (but not a Democratic governor – the District has a mayor, not a governor).
Finally, when splitting the states 50-50, the same pattern still holds true. The Top Twenty-Five states, in terms of low unemployment, sees eighteen states led by Republicans and seven led by Democrats. In the bottom half, those numbers are again reversed, with eighteen of the bottom twenty-five states led by Democrats – plus the District of Columbia – and only seven led by Republicans. Among the Top Twenty-five states, the highest unemployment score is 7.0 percent, with the best-off state reporting in at just 4.0 percent unemployment. However; in the Bottom Twenty-five states (plus the District of Columbia), the best and lowest unemployment score is a painful 7.4 percent, with the worst one reaching up to 13.2 percent – that’s tail-end Nevada. Florida, the other state – this one Republican – that depends so much on conventions and tourist business has that 7.4 percent unemployment rate. That’s not good, but it’s light years ahead of Nevada.
Here’s a simple chart for how that works:
Ranking Republican-led Democrat-led Top Ten Nine One Bottom Ten One Nine Top Fifteen Twelve Three Bottom Fifteen Three Twelve Top Twenty-five Eighteen Seven Bottom Twenty-Five Seven Eighteen
Figures don’t lie. These raw numbers are published each month by the Bureau of Labor Statistics. Anyone with a calculator or an Excel spreadsheet can easily calculate the average unemployment, top and bottom. However, the reasons for these widely differing scores is a bit more complicated, but one bottom-line estimate that will stand up to close scrutiny is this: Democratic-led states are notorious for imposing crippling COVID-19 lockdowns, while Republican-led states seem to be looking for ways of restoring their economies and getting their residents back to work. The CDC offers statistics that can be looked at in terms of cases, deaths per 100,000, total deaths and several other factors.
In looking over these CDC statistics, there seems to be no clear corollary between the Governor and the death-per-thousand rate, suggesting that Democratic governors have trashed their states’ economies without delivering a benefit (a lower death rate). Because it is such an outlier, the city of New York is treated in the CDC figures as the equivalent of a state – the only city to do so. In this context, New York City has experienced 285 deaths per 100,000 population, more than 100 deaths higher than the worst-off state, New Jersey. By contrast, the state of New York – absent the five boroughs of New York City – has a rate of “only” 82 deaths per 100,000 population, ranking it seventh from the bottom among the fifty states. Of the ten best-off states in terms of COVID deaths,
These numbers are largely supported by an ongoing study conducted by the New York Times. This online, interactive study offers extremely detailed statistical information regarding COVID and the states.

The NYT used different time-frames and different ways of reporting than did the other sources, which limited its utility. Worse, intentionally or not, they often reported statistics in terms of percentages, instead of focusing on the total numbers of incidents. In doing so, they create a false narrative regarding COVID deaths.
For example, in reporting on Nebraska, the state with the lowest unemployment level during the current COVID crisis, the NYT reported that COVID deaths during a one week period rose by an alarming 130 percent. Every death is a tragedy, but by citing percentages instead of total deaths, they made the editorial decision to present this statistic in a way that made it sound horrible, and it would have been horrible … except …
Except that during that same one week period, COVID deaths in Nebraska rose from just three to seven. Compared to the thousands of American COVID deaths during that same two-week period, Nebraska’s numbers are almost microscopically small, and hardly indicative of a 130 percent spike in reported COVID deaths.

Also, because of the drop-off in COVID deaths, either the COVID virus is weakening, or our treatments are rapidly improving. Perhaps both reasons apply.

When things started looking better, health-wise, he very cautiously started allowing a few of these businesses to re-open in a limited capacity, only to slam them shut again at the first sign of even a modest spike in cases diagnosed. This start-and-stop-and-start-and-stop pattern by Governor Sisolak has crippled the hospitality industry on which Nevada depends for its economic survival. Florida, which has a much saner policy toward trying to get employees back to work has an unemployment rate of roughly half that of Nevada.

( Video ) President Trump appears to be making inroads with Latinos , even as reports suggest the Biden campaign is struggling to turn out Latino voters .
In the battle for the country ’ s largest minority voting block , Trump is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ plan for Latinos and taking over the YouTube homepage in an 11th-hour Hispanic ad buy .
The Trump campaign and the Republican Party said the White House ’ s “ American Dream Plan for Hispanic Americans ” is meant to shore up the reasons that draw many Latino immigrants to America — freedom , safety , and economic opportunity .
Trump ’ s plan , released on Wednesday , includes a goal of adding 500,000 Hispanic-owned businesses , increasing capital for minority entrepreneurs through Opportunity Zones , creating 2 million new jobs for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ownership , bolstering school choice programs , and locking in a permanent resolution to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals ( DACA ) program .
When asked why the Trump plan wasn ’ t released sooner , a spokeswoman for the Republican Party told Just the News that the plan ’ s ambition was actually modest compared to the results Latinos have already experienced during Trump ’ s tenure , including record-low unemployment and record-high median household income .
“ I think he ’ s been actually modest in the numbers that he @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” Yali Nuñez , director of Hispanic Media for the Republican Party , told the “ Just the News AM , ” television program .
“ I think we can supersede those numbers under a Trump administration .
We ’ re doing everything that we can .
We ’ re putting all the weapons out there , we ’ re doing our best effort , and we ’ re going to continue to work all the way to the end to reelect this president.
” On Sunday , Trump retweeted a video @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a new ABC poll showing 47 % support for the president among Latinos in Florida .
“ Now , I think we ’ re going to do even better than that , ” Cortes said .
“ But that number likely puts the state out of reach for Joe Biden .
It seems like playing ‘ Despacito ’ on his cell phone to Hispanics wasn ’ t exactly the right outreach .
The New York Times ’ Nate Cohn reported on Thursday : “ The gap in presidential vote preference between white and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 16 percentage points since 2016 , according to an Upshot analysis of pre-election polls , as Joe Biden gains among white voters and President Trump makes inroads among Black and Hispanic voters.
” Meanwhile , Bloomberg News reported that senior leaders of Biden ’ s campaign “ are increasingly worried about insufficient Black and Latino voter turnout in key states like Florida and Pennsylvania with only four days until the election.
” The Biden campaign did not respond to request for comment for this article .
“ Despite record early-vote turnout around the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden , ” Bloomberg ’ s Tyler Pager reported .
“ In Arizona , two-thirds of Latino registered voters have not yet cast a ballot .
In Florida , half of Latino and Black registered voters have not yet voted but more than half of White voters have cast ballots , according to data from Catalist , a Democratic data firm .
In Pennsylvania , nearly 75 % of registered Black voters have not yet voted , the data shows.
” The results so far are “ particularly stark , ” Pager wrote @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a 9.4 % turnout advantage in Miami-Dade County , a place where analysts say Biden will need a significant margin of victory to carry the state.
” On Thursday , Bloomberg also reported that on a call with reporters the Biden campaign touted its efforts to turn out Latino voters — including spending tens of millions of dollars to reach voters — and reviewed get-out-the-vote events in battleground states targeted at Latino voters .
“ We know our pathway to victory includes winning key battleground states that have significant populations ” of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Chavez Rodriguez , reportedly said on the call , according to Bloomberg .
“ We can not win without the Latino vote in these states , which is why we have invested historic amounts of money and research.
” The Trump campaign has prominently featured Latino American voices who fear that America could take a more socialist turn — in the direction of a Cuba or Venezuela .
“ Equipo Trump ” ( Team Trump ) announced in Spanish on Sunday that it was buying a takeover of the YouTube masthead to feature @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Trump ) ad with the Spanish-language song by the Miami-based salsa band Los 3 de La Habana ( The 3 from Havana ) .
The song was sung by Los 3 de La Habana during a Facebook live session , and it quickly went viral on social media .
The Trump campaign contacted the band , and within days , it was the musical track to a national television and radio advertising campaign .
“ Por Trump ” will be displayed on YouTube ’ s homepage over the next 48 hours , starting @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s closing message to Trump ’ s Hispanic coalition .
“ YouTube is one of the most visited websites in the world , reaching over 75 million Americans every day , ” the campaign said in a press statement released Sunday evening .

President Trump appears to be making inroads with Latinos, even as reports suggest the Biden campaign is struggling to turn out Latino voters.
In the battle for the country’s largest minority voting block, Trump is touting his new “American Dream” plan for Latinos and taking over the YouTube homepage in an 11th-hour Hispanic ad buy.
The Trump campaign and the Republican Party said the White House’s “American Dream Plan for Hispanic Americans” is meant to shore up the reasons that draw many Latino immigrants to America — freedom, safety, and economic opportunity.
Trump’s plan, released on Wednesday, includes a goal of adding 500,000 Hispanic-owned businesses, increasing capital for minority entrepreneurs through Opportunity Zones, creating 2 million new jobs for Hispanic Americans, increasing access to home ownership, bolstering school choice programs, and locking in a permanent resolution to the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) program.
When asked why the Trump plan wasn’t released sooner, a spokeswoman for the Republican Party told Just the News that the plan’s ambition was actually modest compared to the results Latinos have already experienced during Trump’s tenure, including record-low unemployment and record-high median household income.
“I think he’s been actually modest in the numbers that he’s putting out with this plan,” Yali Nuñez, director of Hispanic Media for the Republican Party, told the “Just the News AM,” television program. “I think we can supersede those numbers under a Trump administration. We’re doing everything that we can. We’re putting all the weapons out there, we’re doing our best effort, and we’re going to continue to work all the way to the end to reelect this president.”
On Sunday, Trump retweeted a video from senior campaign adviser Steve Cortes about a new ABC poll showing 47% support for the president among Latinos in Florida.
“Now, I think we’re going to do even better than that,” Cortes said. “But that number likely puts the state out of reach for Joe Biden. It seems like playing ‘Despacito’ on his cell phone to Hispanics wasn’t exactly the right outreach.

The New York Times’ Nate Cohn reported on Thursday: “The gap in presidential vote preference between white and nonwhite voters has shrunk by a surprising 16 percentage points since 2016, according to an Upshot analysis of pre-election polls, as Joe Biden gains among white voters and President Trump makes inroads among Black and Hispanic voters.”
Meanwhile, Bloomberg News reported that senior leaders of Biden’s campaign “are increasingly worried about insufficient Black and Latino voter turnout in key states like Florida and Pennsylvania with only four days until the election.”
The Biden campaign did not respond to request for comment for this article.
“Despite record early-vote turnout around the country, there are warning signs for Biden,” Bloomberg’s Tyler Pager reported. “In Arizona, two-thirds of Latino registered voters have not yet cast a ballot. In Florida, half of Latino and Black registered voters have not yet voted but more than half of White voters have cast ballots, according to data from Catalist, a Democratic data firm. In Pennsylvania, nearly 75% of registered Black voters have not yet voted, the data shows.”
The results so far are “particularly stark,” Pager wrote, “in Florida where Republicans currently have a 9.4% turnout advantage in Miami-Dade County, a place where analysts say Biden will need a significant margin of victory to carry the state.”
On Thursday, Bloomberg also reported that on a call with reporters the Biden campaign touted its efforts to turn out Latino voters — including spending tens of millions of dollars to reach voters — and reviewed get-out-the-vote events in battleground states targeted at Latino voters.
“We know our pathway to victory includes winning key battleground states that have significant populations” of Latino voters, deputy campaign manager Julie Chavez Rodriguez, reportedly said on the call, according to Bloomberg. “We cannot win without the Latino vote in these states, which is why we have invested historic amounts of money and research.”
The Trump campaign has prominently featured Latino American voices who fear that America could take a more socialist turn — in the direction of a Cuba or Venezuela. “Equipo Trump” (Team Trump) announced in Spanish on Sunday that it was buying a takeover of the YouTube masthead to feature its “Por Trump” (For Trump) ad with the Spanish-language song by the Miami-based salsa band Los 3 de La Habana (The 3 from Havana).
The song was sung by Los 3 de La Habana during a Facebook live session, and it quickly went viral on social media. The Trump campaign contacted the band, and within days, it was the musical track to a national television and radio advertising campaign.
“Por Trump” will be displayed on YouTube’s homepage over the next 48 hours, starting Sunday night, part of the campaign’s closing message to Trump’s Hispanic coalition.
“YouTube is one of the most visited websites in the world, reaching over 75 million Americans every day,” the campaign said in a press statement released Sunday evening. “Its daily reach exceeds that of CNN and MSNBC combined. The ad is is a celebration of America’s diverse Hispanic communities and encourages Latinos to go out and vote for President Trump.”

by Tristan Justice, November, 2nd, 2020
I went to my first drive-in rave last weekend. After eight months of lockdowns with no live music, no live shows, and no camaraderie of the annual festival season, I expected the event to be a refreshing escape from the pandemic suppression of nearly everything that made life exciting in my early 20s.
I wanted a one-night departure from the drudgery of a fundamentally different world stricken with death, disease, and division driven worse under draconian lockdowns stripping freedoms from a public all-too-eager to hand them over under the guise of safety. A one-night celebration of what things were like in our pre-pandemic lives before being wrecked by a foreign virus bringing the world to its knees. A one-night return to “normalcy.”
There were a lot of reasons why the show failed to meet the expectations I just outlined. The stage was small, the music wasn’t as loud as before, the staff was rude, and the energy present featured a bizarre mix of nostalgia and paranoia complemented by an underlying frustration of what used to be.
In the end however, it was the penetrating reminder that things aren’t normal, and won’t be for quite some time.
The night started with all the fanfare of a typical evening preparing for the main event. I hopped in the car of some people I met on the Radiate app in Denver, a social media platform that combines the likes of Tinder and Facebook for festival-goers. We left by 6 p.m., and arrived at the racetrack near Colorado Springs soon after 8 p.m. where we then joined a seemingly endless line of cars waiting to get in moving at a snail’s pace. Each time we got out of the car to stretch out legs in line, event staff driving up and down the cars screamed at people get back in. It ultimately took our car two hours to reach the entrance, which at that point gave us merely two hours until the entire show was over.
When we finally got inside, the group wanted to meet up with people from two other cars we traveled with who were mistakenly taken to the VIP section of the parking lot closest to the stage. We snuck in fine even though we weren’t supposed to when several people with loose wristbands handed them off by the general concessions.
Once we got inside however, security was even tighter than it was in the general car lot checking wristbands and yelling at individuals who were dancing too close to other cars. I was eventually kicked out with another person who was in the group since we had given our wristbands back to the people who passed them to us. Other entire groups were bumped from their front-row spot because they weren’t distancing to security’s standards.
On our way to the back of the car lot, people who had been dancing in the open spaces had been cleared out back to their cars. Security in flood lights on the perimeters of the infield were also ensuring there was no crowding anywhere in the entire site. It’s hard to “let go” when big brother is over your shoulder the entire time. Yet no one seemed to care about lines at the concession stands, begging one to ask, what’s even the point? And masks? Mandatory, no matter how many people puffed on one of the same same joints, Juuls, or cigarettes being passed around.
Under all the circumstances, there were still a few moments of a deceptive bliss. Deceptive because each moment left me feeling emptier than before, as if I had been teased with a window into what things used to be.
I spent the whole show not embracing what little was in front of me, but rather pretending I was somewhere else, imagining all the shows I had gone to in the past reminding me of just how important the festivals had become in coping with the challenges of the last two years, especially the Bassnectar shows, because nothing ever compared to a Bassnectar show. There were times this weekend that I found myself just staring at the lights when a certain beat would trigger flashbacks of serotonin flooding my brain at the right drop transporting me into an intimate multi-dimensional experience. Because that’s the cliché open secret about festivals. You’re not paying for three nights of music. You’re buying a lifetime of memories, memories that don’t remind you of what you saw but remind you of exactly, and I mean exactly how you felt.
I was warned about this predicament. In fact, I played a role in warning others about this predicament.
When reporting on the mental health impact of lockdowns in April, I interviewed East Tennessee therapist Allysen Efferson on the consequences they may have in exacerbating an already existing crisis:
Efferson warned that Americans need to be prepared for life to be different even after states begin to reopen. ‘There is a whole new level of reality out there that’s about to hit people,’ Efferson told The Federalist, pointing out that since we’ve been sheltered in our homes, most people haven’t seen the outside damage that has been done and things won’t return to normal even once stay-home orders are lifted. Their favorite restaurants might be closed for good. Big events such as concerts and sports won’t come back for quite some time, and people’s behavior might remain distant. ‘We don’t know what we’re going to see.’
I’m not sure I should have attended Friday’s drive-in, because I wasn’t prepared.
For all that’s been lost amid the pandemic, it’s these fundamental years that can’t be replaced which have cut deeper than anything else. I turned 23 in June, who knows if we have a vaccine by 24. Even then, I woke up Sunday morning to find a piece in the Washington Examiner quoting health experts saying the U.S. won’t return to “normal” until late 2021 or early 2022.
“Some experts won’t put an actual date to their predictions,” the Examiner reported. “In September, Dr. William Schaffner, an infectious disease expert at Vanderbilt University’s School of Medicine, said, “The old normal? I don’t know when that day will be, but it will be in the great and distant future.”
A second wave of lockdowns is already on its way, which runs the risk of being even tighter pending the results of Tuesday’s election. Even if we do get a vaccine by the year’s end, we’ll still be locked down given its likely failure to achieve all that we hope. Americans can still party for sure, if they shell out $1,000 on a trip to Mexico, which is exactly what many of my friends on the East Coast plan to do for New Years. That’s lost cash that could go to desperately struggling businesses here at home.
I’m not blind to the fact tht more than 230,000 Americans have died from COVID-19. I’m also not blind to the fact that we still don’t have a vaccine for many other viruses, and the CDC’s “current best-estimate” for the COVID survival rate is at least 99.98 percent for a majority of the population, while lockdowns and hysteria destroy the nation’s psyche and wreak havoc on immunization rates against diseases we do have vaccines against.
Surely there are better ways to handle the coronavirus, and maybe I’ll spend 24 being 24, but probably not.

stillnessinthestorm--2020-11-02--These 12 Graphs Show Mask Mandates Do Nothing To Stop COVID

( Yinon Weiss ) No matter how strictly mask laws are enforced nor the level of mask compliance the population follows , cases all fall and rise around the same time .
Related CDC Admits “ At No Time Has CDC Guidance Suggested that Masks Were Intended to Protect the Wearers ” ( VIDEO ) Masks have become a political tool and a talisman .
When COVID-19 hit , governments panicked and created enormous fear .
The Centers for Disease Control currently estimates a COVID-19 survival rate of 99.99 percent for people younger than 50 , but the damage created @ @ @ @ @ @ @ undo .
It is likely that some politicians eventually realized their mistake and needed a way to back-pedal without admitting their lockdowns were a policy disaster .
Their solution was for people to put any old piece of cloth across their face and magically believe that it ’ s okay to go out shopping again .
Masks are not merely a small inconvenience .
They have inadvertently become a key impediment to returning to a more normal life , a desirable goal for those seeking to twist the pandemic for political and electoral @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ironically serve as a constant reminder that we should be afraid .
People can now be spotted wearing masks while camping by themselves in the woods or on a solo sailing trip .
They have become a cruel device on young children everywhere , kindergarten students covered by masks and isolated by Plexiglas , struggling to understand the social expressions of their peers .
Face coverings are causing real harm to the American psyche , provide little to no medical benefit , and distract us from more important health policy issues .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ from the start .
For one , the U.S. surgeon general and the Centers for Disease Control both previously said that “ masks are NOT effective in preventing [ the ] general public from catching coronavirus , ” so they were already starting with a credibility deficit .
Furthermore , many officials have been frequently caught without masks when they think the cameras are off them .
Dr. Anthony Fauci , for example , has been caught doing this multiple times .
Chicago ’ s mayor and local media were all caught taking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ as soon as a press conference ended .
This was caught in a now deleted YouTube video that was shared by a now deleted Twitter account after being retweeted more than 26,000 times .
As of the date of this publication , it is still available to view in a crude video of a video that has yet to be deleted on YouTube .
Clearly , some people do not want you to see what politicians do behind the scenes .
Pennsylvania Gov .
Tom Wolf , a strong advocate for mandatory masking @ @ @ @ @ @ @ how wearing masks is an act of “ political theater.
” These same politicians and health officials are so desperate to make people believe in masks that they doctor charts to make their case , even when their own data actually undermines them .
So what is the actual science behind masks ?
Let ’ s begin by reviewing the leading scientific studies .
The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University summarized six international studies which “ showed that masks alone have no significant effect in interrupting the spread of ILI or @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in healthcare workers.
” Oxford went on to say that “ that despite two decades of pandemic preparedness , there is considerable uncertainty as to the value of wearing masks.
” They prophetically warned that this has “ left the field wide open for the play of opinions , radical views and political influence.
” A study of health-care workers in more than 1,600 hospitals showed that cloth masks only filtered out 3 percent of particles .
An article in the New England Journal of Medicine stated , “ [ W ] earing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ little , if any , protection from infection ” and that “ [ T ] he desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.
” There are many other credible studies showing lack of mask efficacy , such as studies published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information , Cambridge University Press , Oxford Clinical Infectious Diseases , and Influenza Journal , just to name a few .
Studies do show masks can help in the case of direct respiratory droplets , which would matter if somebody is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on your face .
That happens normally in a tight and highly confined space .
But the plentiful evidence we have indicates masks would not meaningfully help with aerosol transmission , where two people are just in the same area , or even the same room .
This is because the two people end up breathing the same air , with or without a mask , as visually demonstrated in this video .
Now for Graphs about International Mask Mandates Historical scientific studies do not make a compelling case that universal masking would @ @ @ @ @ @ @ explore real-world situations to see where data leads us .
Austria was one of the first governments to require masks , and it did so about 10 days after its cases began to go down .
The level of downtrend did not change or improve after masks were required .
After the nation ’ s people wearing masks for an extended period , cases are currently four times where they were when Austria mandated masks , and cases continue to climb .
Germany mandated masks about halfway down its original recovery .
Their @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The French now have around 1,000 percent more daily cases they had when they mandated masks , despite having one of the highest mask compliance levels in the world .
Spain was not far behind its French neighbor with a mandate .
Spain required masks when cases were near zero and has the highest compliance with mask-wearing in all Europe .
Now Spain is at around 1,500 percent the level of cases compared to when it mandated masks .
After three months of requiring masks , the United Kingdom is at around 1,500 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the highest mask compliance records in Europe .
Belgium required masks shortly after the British did , and now possibly has the highest rate of cases in the world .
Italy had extremely high levels of mask-wearing despite no national mandate .
Recently skyrocketing cases finally compelled them to create one of the strictest mask laws in the world , but the results have predictably failed to slow the rise in coronavirus cases .
In fact , cases skyrocketed immediately after the mask mandate went into effect .
Similar results have been found @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and many other countries .
No matter how strictly mask laws are enforced nor the level of mask compliance the population follows , cases all fall and rise around the same time .

On Sale Now .
How about the United States ?
Americans have proven to be highly compliant with mask wearing , even higher than the Germans .
It is therefore no surprise that the same trends found in Europe are also @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , California required masks in June but cases still went up by more than 300 percent and the state remains heavily locked down four months later with still higher cases .
Hawaii suffered one of the most economically devastating lockdowns of all the U.S. states .
It was also an early mover on mandating masks both indoors and outdoors , but cases still went up by almost 1,000 percent .
With and without mask mandates , Texas and Georgia followed nearly identical case development .
For those more interested in comparing deaths than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ see a pattern of masks meaningfully helping .
Why don ’ t masks work on the general public ?
For one , if you read the fine print on most consumer masks you will see something along the line of “ not intended for medical purposes and has not been tested to reduce the transmission of disease.
” Masks can work well when they ’ re fully sealed , properly fitted , changed often , and have a filter designed for virus-sized particles .
This represents none of the common masks available on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ much more of a confidence trick than a medical solution .
If we actually wanted effective masks , then manufacturers should be conducting scientific tests evaluating masks specifically for their ability to reduce the spread of coronavirus .
The Food and Drug Administration and CDC should be making recommendations on which masks to use and approving masks based on their scientific efficacy rather than promoting the wrapping of any piece of miscellaneous cloth around your face .
Many powerful institutions have too much political capital invested in the mask narrative at this point @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Effective masks , if they exist , should then be distributed to highly vulnerable groups for use only in rare and extenuating circumstances .
There would be little point for the population at large to wear masks all the time because while focused protection may be possible , it is not possible to eradicate the virus at this point or stop its spread .
Our universal use of unscientific face coverings is therefore closer to medieval superstition than it is to science , but many powerful institutions have too much political capital invested @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , so the dogma is perpetuated .
The narrative says that if cases go down it ’ s because masks succeeded .
It says that if cases go up it ’ s because masks succeeded in preventing more cases .
The narrative simply assumes rather than proves that masks work , despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary .
The narrative further ignores places like Sweden and Georgia , which never required masks in the first place , and it suppresses new scientific evidence if it doesn ’ t support desired political results @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s only randomized trial investigating if masks actually protect from COVID-19 .
Even a Nobel laureate has been canceled because his COVID charts and data were found to be undesirable .
History does not bode well for times that politics meddles with science .
Martin Kulldorff , a professor at Harvard Medical School and a leader in disease surveillance methods and infectious disease outbreaks , describes the current COVID scientific environment this way : “ After 300 years , the Age of Enlightenment has ended.
” In the end , it will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ scientific institutions , and the unnecessary division they have sowed among us , for which masks will be remembered .

Masks have become a political tool and a talisman. When COVID-19 hit, governments panicked and created enormous fear. The Centers for Disease Control currently estimates a COVID-19 survival rate of 99.99 percent for people younger than 50, but the damage created by the panic was too great to undo.
It is likely that some politicians eventually realized their mistake and needed a way to back-pedal without admitting their lockdowns were a policy disaster. Their solution was for people to put any old piece of cloth across their face and magically believe that it’s okay to go out shopping again.
Masks are not merely a small inconvenience. They have inadvertently become a key impediment to returning to a more normal life, a desirable goal for those seeking to twist the pandemic for political and electoral purposes.
Masks dehumanize us, and ironically serve as a constant reminder that we should be afraid. People can now be spotted wearing masks while camping by themselves in the woods or on a solo sailing trip. They have become a cruel device on young children everywhere, kindergarten students covered by masks and isolated by Plexiglas, struggling to understand the social expressions of their peers. Face coverings are causing real harm to the American psyche, provide little to no medical benefit, and distract us from more important health policy issues.
The mask dogma had many cracks in it from the start. For one, the U.S. surgeon general and the Centers for Disease Control both previously said that “masks are NOT effective in preventing [the] general public from catching coronavirus,” so they were already starting with a credibility deficit. Furthermore, many officials have been frequently caught without masks when they think the cameras are off them. Dr. Anthony Fauci, for example, has been caught doing this multiple times.
Chicago’s mayor and local media were all caught taking off their masks and violating social distancing as soon as a press conference ended. This was caught in a now deleted YouTube video that was shared by a now deleted Twitter account after being retweeted more than 26,000 times. As of the date of this publication, it is still available to view in a crude video of a video that has yet to be deleted on YouTube.
Clearly, some people do not want you to see what politicians do behind the scenes. Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Wolf, a strong advocate for mandatory masking, was caught off camera laughing about how wearing masks is an act of “political theater.”
Faking ‘Science’ to Achieve Political Goals
These same politicians and health officials are so desperate to make people believe in masks that they doctor charts to make their case, even when their own data actually undermines them. So what is the actual science behind masks? Let’s begin by reviewing the leading scientific studies.
The Centre for Evidence-Based Medicine at Oxford University summarized six international studies which “showed that masks alone have no significant effect in interrupting the spread of ILI or influenza in the general population, nor in healthcare workers.” Oxford went on to say that “that despite two decades of pandemic preparedness, there is considerable uncertainty as to the value of wearing masks.” They prophetically warned that this has “left the field wide open for the play of opinions, radical views and political influence.”
A study of health-care workers in more than 1,600 hospitals showed that cloth masks only filtered out 3 percent of particles. An article in the New England Journal of Medicine stated, “[W]earing a mask outside health care facilities offers little, if any, protection from infection” and that “[T]he desire for widespread masking is a reflexive reaction to anxiety over the pandemic.”
There are many other credible studies showing lack of mask efficacy, such as studies published in the National Center for Biotechnology Information, Cambridge University Press, Oxford Clinical Infectious Diseases, and Influenza Journal, just to name a few.
Studies do show masks can help in the case of direct respiratory droplets, which would matter if somebody is coughing, breathing, or sneezing directly on your face. That happens normally in a tight and highly confined space.
But the plentiful evidence we have indicates masks would not meaningfully help with aerosol transmission, where two people are just in the same area, or even the same room. This is because the two people end up breathing the same air, with or without a mask, as visually demonstrated in this video.
Now for Graphs about International Mask Mandates
Historical scientific studies do not make a compelling case that universal masking would meaningfully help, so let’s explore real-world situations to see where data leads us.
Austria was one of the first governments to require masks, and it did so about 10 days after its cases began to go down. The level of downtrend did not change or improve after masks were required. After the nation’s people wearing masks for an extended period, cases are currently four times where they were when Austria mandated masks, and cases continue to climb.
Germany mandated masks about halfway down its original recovery. Their cases are now similarly climbing quickly.
The French now have around 1,000 percent more daily cases they had when they mandated masks, despite having one of the highest mask compliance levels in the world.
Spain was not far behind its French neighbor with a mandate. Spain required masks when cases were near zero and has the highest compliance with mask-wearing in all Europe. Now Spain is at around 1,500 percent the level of cases compared to when it mandated masks.
After three months of requiring masks, the United Kingdom is at around 1,500 percent more cases despite having one of the highest mask compliance records in Europe.
Belgium required masks shortly after the British did, and now possibly has the highest rate of cases in the world.
Italy had extremely high levels of mask-wearing despite no national mandate. Recently skyrocketing cases finally compelled them to create one of the strictest mask laws in the world, but the results have predictably failed to slow the rise in coronavirus cases. In fact, cases skyrocketed immediately after the mask mandate went into effect.
Similar results have been found in Ireland, Portugal, Israel, and many other countries. No matter how strictly mask laws are enforced nor the level of mask compliance the population follows, cases all fall and rise around the same time.
How about the United States? Americans have proven to be highly compliant with mask wearing, even higher than the Germans.
It is therefore no surprise that the same trends found in Europe are also found in U.S. states. For example, California required masks in June but cases still went up by more than 300 percent and the state remains heavily locked down four months later with still higher cases.
Hawaii suffered one of the most economically devastating lockdowns of all the U.S. states. It was also an early mover on mandating masks both indoors and outdoors, but cases still went up by almost 1,000 percent.
With and without mask mandates, Texas and Georgia followed nearly identical case development.
For those more interested in comparing deaths than cases, we again don’t see a pattern of masks meaningfully helping.
Why Don’t Masks Work?
Why don’t masks work on the general public? For one, if you read the fine print on most consumer masks you will see something along the line of “not intended for medical purposes and has not been tested to reduce the transmission of disease.” Masks can work well when they’re fully sealed, properly fitted, changed often, and have a filter designed for virus-sized particles. This represents none of the common masks available on the consumer market, making universal masking much more of a confidence trick than a medical solution.
If we actually wanted effective masks, then manufacturers should be conducting scientific tests evaluating masks specifically for their ability to reduce the spread of coronavirus. The Food and Drug Administration and CDC should be making recommendations on which masks to use and approving masks based on their scientific efficacy rather than promoting the wrapping of any piece of miscellaneous cloth around your face.
Many powerful institutions have too much political capital invested in the mask narrative at this point, so the dogma is perpetuated.
Effective masks, if they exist, should then be distributed to highly vulnerable groups for use only in rare and extenuating circumstances. There would be little point for the population at large to wear masks all the time because while focused protection may be possible, it is not possible to eradicate the virus at this point or stop its spread.
Our universal use of unscientific face coverings is therefore closer to medieval superstition than it is to science, but many powerful institutions have too much political capital invested in the mask narrative at this point, so the dogma is perpetuated. The narrative says that if cases go down it’s because masks succeeded. It says that if cases go up it’s because masks succeeded in preventing more cases. The narrative simply assumes rather than proves that masks work, despite overwhelming scientific evidence to the contrary.
The narrative further ignores places like Sweden and Georgia, which never required masks in the first place, and it suppresses new scientific evidence if it doesn’t support desired political results, such as data from the world’s only randomized trial investigating if masks actually protect from COVID-19. Even a Nobel laureate has been canceled because his COVID charts and data were found to be undesirable.
History does not bode well for times that politics meddles with science. Martin Kulldorff, a professor at Harvard Medical School and a leader in disease surveillance methods and infectious disease outbreaks, describes the current COVID scientific environment this way: “After 300 years, the Age of Enlightenment has ended.”
In the end, it will be the loss of credibility in our scientific institutions, and the unnecessary division they have sowed among us, for which masks will be remembered.
