noqreport--2020-04-21--Mass murder in Canada exposes the truth that liberty control only has one goal: Gun confiscation

Let ’ s just lay out the facts here : The emotional exploitation of a tragedy has no real purpose other than to implement another step to gun confiscation .
This is why the liberty grabber leftists always keep their terms factually vague but emotionally charged .
Consider the terms they use as well as the lies they parrot : • Doing something about guns Those are just some of the variations of the reactionary language used by the left in cynically exploiting other people ’ s pain for their political gain .
They convey purely emotional ideas while being @ @ @ @ @ @ @ something ” can mean just about anything .
The terms assault weapon or military style are undefined and deliberately vague .
Leftists use these terms because they are immeasurable so they can avoid being accountable when they fail to work and they can simply try something new under the same label .
How is this supposed to solve the problem ?
The measures spawned from these phrases aren ’ t meant to work .
They merely move the ball along to the goal of gun confiscation .
This is easily illustrated with the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ to solve the problem ?
” on any new liberty control measure .
It is guaranteed that liberty grabber leftists won ’ t be able to fill in the blank with anything meaningful .
These only impact the innocent .
Criminals will always find a way to obtain a gun .
Criminals , by definition , don ’ t obey the law .
Thus , like all of the others , it won ’ t solve the problem .
The only true purpose here is to assert government control over private property and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ government control scheme only disarms the innocent , making it easier for mass murderers .
This ‘ solution ’ is so absurd that even leftists refrain from trying to explain the purpose of these victim disarmament areas .
These only serve to take out certain sets of weapons while asserting government control over what you can or can not have in the way of self-defense .
Since they are undefined , this scam can be used to go after any and all types of weapons .
They only impact the innocent , thus @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Again , these only impact the innocent .
The facile , non-functional excuse for these is that they will somehow , someway trace crime guns after the fact .
What they don ’ t explain is how these and the other restrictions on liberty will stop criminals from getting guns .
This is because that isn ’ t the purpose here .
The true purpose of a governmental permission requirement is to virtually confiscate guns .
Laws on reporting lost or stolen guns within a certain time frame As is the case @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nothing to solve the problem .
Leftists won ’ t be able to answer how any of these measures will stop criminals from getting guns , because that isn ’ t the purpose here .
They supposedly help tie up loose ends in a criminal case , but that isn ’ t the stated goal .
Once again , the true purpose is to assert government control over private property .
• ‘ No one is coming after your guns ’ • ‘ No one is talking about gun confiscation ’ These are @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the liberticidal left obsesses day and night over how to go after guns .
The fact that the left has been talking about this for years has made it laughable that they would even bother parroting these lies .
So why do they maintain this obvious deception ?
Because they have no other choice .
It is becoming obvious that none of those measures do any good .
This is why they keep things vague and undefined .
So when the miracle solutions don ’ t produce miracles , they can just come @ @ @ @ @ @ @ meant to get to the same goal .
Leftists only have one goal and that is acquiring power In the video , Colion Noir makes the point that the left only cares about grabbing power for themselves .
Leftists don ’ t care about the people or the children .
They don ’ t care about ‘ safety ’ or common sense .
Because if they did , they would look at what works and what doesn ’ t .
As we ’ ve shown here and with the recent tragedy in Canada @ @ @ @ @ @ @ work .
That should be painfully evident .
Politics are defined as the actions and activities associated with government and the accumulation of power .
Politicians are in it for the power , nothing more , nothing less .
More guns in the hands of the people means less power for the politicians .
That is why those driven by a desire for power are obsessed with taking guns from the people .
The mass murder tragedy took place in a land with every dream measure of the liberty grabber left , and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the problem .
Now we will see the reason why the left parrots their ever vague talking points and lies .
Canada is at the end of the line of the leftist journey towards gun confiscation .
None of the preliminary measures worked in the case of the tragedy – background checks , gun registration , etc .
The mass murder still took place , once again showing that liberty control doesn ’ t work .
We can only guess what will happen next , but rest assured if they go for gun @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not gun confiscation .

Let’s just lay out the facts here: The emotional exploitation of a tragedy has no real purpose other than to implement another step to gun confiscation. This is why the liberty grabber leftists always keep their terms factually vague but emotionally charged. Consider the terms they use as well as the lies they parrot:
Doing something about guns
Stop the easy access to guns
Assault weapon bans
Military-style
Common sense gun control
Gun safety
Those are just some of the variations of the reactionary language used by the left in cynically exploiting other people’s pain for their political gain. They convey purely emotional ideas while being utterly meaningless.
Safety or “doing something” can mean just about anything. The terms assault weapon or military style are undefined and deliberately vague. Leftists use these terms because they are immeasurable so they can avoid being accountable when they fail to work and they can simply try something new under the same label.
How is this supposed to solve the problem?
The measures spawned from these phrases aren’t meant to work. They merely move the ball along to the goal of gun confiscation. This is easily illustrated with the following question “How is this supposed to solve the problem?” on any new liberty control measure. It is guaranteed that liberty grabber leftists won’t be able to fill in the blank with anything meaningful.
‘Universal’ background checks
These only impact the innocent. Criminals will always find a way to obtain a gun. Criminals, by definition, don’t obey the law. Thus, like all of the others, it won’t solve the problem. The only true purpose here is to assert government control over private property and set up for gun registration.
Liberty free [‘gun-free’] zones
This government control scheme only disarms the innocent, making it easier for mass murderers. This ‘solution’ is so absurd that even leftists refrain from trying to explain the purpose of these victim disarmament areas.
Bans on ‘assault weapons’
These only serve to take out certain sets of weapons while asserting government control over what you can or cannot have in the way of self-defense. Since they are undefined, this scam can be used to go after any and all types of weapons. They only impact the innocent, thus they also do not work as advertised.
Gun registration
Again, these only impact the innocent. The facile, non-functional excuse for these is that they will somehow, someway trace crime guns after the fact.
What they don’t explain is how these and the other restrictions on liberty will stop criminals from getting guns. This is because that isn’t the purpose here. The true purpose of a governmental permission requirement is to virtually confiscate guns.
Laws on reporting lost or stolen guns within a certain time frame
As is the case with the other examples, these do nothing to solve the problem. Leftists won’t be able to answer how any of these measures will stop criminals from getting guns, because that isn’t the purpose here.
Dr. Joseph Mercola said, “Synthetic meat is the epitome of ultraprocessed food, and it seems naïve to think it won’t have health effects similar to other ultraprocessed junk foods.” For All-American REAL beef raised in pastures, sous vide, then freeze-dried for long-term storage, visit Whole Cows and use promo code “no junk” at checkout.
They supposedly help tie up loose ends in a criminal case, but that isn’t the stated goal. Once again, the true purpose is to assert government control over private property.
Lies of the liberty grabber left:
‘No one is coming after your guns’
‘No one is talking about gun confiscation’
These are clearly lies of the highest order since the liberticidal left obsesses day and night over how to go after guns. The fact that the left has been talking about this for years has made it laughable that they would even bother parroting these lies.
So why do they maintain this obvious deception? Because they have no other choice. It is becoming obvious that none of those measures do any good. This is why they keep things vague and undefined. So when the miracle solutions don’t produce miracles, they can just come up with a new set. All meant to get to the same goal.
Leftists only have one goal and that is acquiring power
In the video, Colion Noir makes the point that the left only cares about grabbing power for themselves.
Leftists don’t care about the people or the children. They don’t care about ‘safety’ or common sense. Because if they did, they would look at what works and what doesn’t. As we’ve shown here and with the recent tragedy in Canada, liberty control clearly doesn’t work. That should be painfully evident.

More guns in the hands of the people means less power for the politicians. That is why those driven by a desire for power are obsessed with taking guns from the people.
Liberty control doesn’t work
The mass murder tragedy took place in a land with every dream measure of the liberty grabber left, and yet these failed as always to solve the problem. Now we will see the reason why the left parrots their ever vague talking points and lies.
Canada is at the end of the line of the leftist journey towards gun confiscation. None of the preliminary measures worked in the case of the tragedy – background checks, gun registration, etc. The mass murder still took place, once again showing that liberty control doesn’t work.
“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)
We can only guess what will happen next, but rest assured if they go for gun confiscation they will somehow claim it’s not gun confiscation.

Washington Governor Jay Inslee ’ s draconian executive orders mandating business closures and stay-at-home status for all residents has been rejected by county commissioners in Franklin County .
The motion passed unanimously .

Washington Governor Jay Inslee’s draconian executive orders mandating business closures and stay-at-home status for all residents has been rejected by county commissioners in Franklin County. The motion passed unanimously. Now, the legal battles may or may not begin but in the immediate future, the county is official reopened for business.
“I move that Franklin County end recognition of the governor’s stay at home emergency proclamation that is now deemed unconstitutional. We support the reopening for all builders and small businesses that want to work,” Commissioner Clint Didier said during a meeting Tuesday morning.
This opens the door for other counties and cities to oppose the order based on RCW 43.06.220(4), which limits the governor’s state-of-emergency powers to 30 days unless the state legislature passes an extension.
No order or orders concerning waiver or suspension of statutory obligations or limitations under subsection (2) of this section may continue for longer than thirty days unless extended by the legislature through concurrent resolution. If the legislature is not in session, the waiver or suspension of statutory obligations or limitations may be extended in writing by the leadership of the senate and the house of representatives until the legislature can extend the waiver or suspension by concurrent resolution. For purposes of this section, “leadership of the senate and the house of representatives” means the majority and minority leaders of the senate and the speaker and the minority leader of the house of representatives.
Technically, this isn’t a decree to reopen the county. Instead, it’s a declaration that the original order to shut down all non-essential activities has not been extended and is therefore no longer valid. It is unlikely the Governor’s office could win a legal dispute as the law is very clear, but they could muddy the waters if they can get a judge to issue a temporary stay pending court resolution. Even then, the spirit of the county’s rejection would still be in play unless the legislature acts.
The longer businesses are closed and people are out of work, the more dependent the populace will be on government. But Americans generally don’t want handouts. We want to make a living safely. That’s possible if these draconian measures are challenged.

noqreport--2020-04-21--Second study shows much lower mortality rate for COVID-19 than previously believed

It ’ s the type of story that should be the biggest news in a while .
Unfortunately , it ’ s news that goes against mainstream media ’ s narrative , also known as the Democratic Party ’ s narrative .
Therefore , coverage of the USC study and last week ’ s Standford study is scant .
Both studies found that testing for coronavirus antibodies revealed many , many more people have been infected by COVID-19 than anyone previously knew .
Last week ’ s study showed 50-80 times more people had been infected in Santa Clara County @ @ @ @ @ @ @ study estimates 55-fold higher .
There are negatives associated with a higher infection rate , most notably the fact that the disease is going to spread rapidly even with the lockdown and social distancing guidelines .
It ’ s not quite unavoidable , but with 4.1 % of the population in the Southern California test area already infected , chances are strong that it is even more contagious than widely believed .
But the big story here is that the mortality rate from the coronvirus is minuscule .
Instead of approximately 3.5 % @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , the actual number is at or below one-tenth of 1 % , or approximately one death for every 1000 people infected .
The reason the numbers are so different from what is currently being accepted is because the two studies tested participants for antibodies .
Current accepted numbers are based on symptomatic people tested for the coronavirus itself .
But these studies by two of the most prestigious medical research departments in the world indicate many people have been infected without even knowing it .
USC-LA County Study : Early Results of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Far Exceeds Number of Confirmed Cases in Los Angeles County Los Angeles ( April 20 , 2020 ) – USC and the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health ( Public Health ) today released preliminary results from a collaborative scientific study that suggests infections from the new coronavirus are far more widespread – and the fatality rate much lower – in L.A. County than previously thought .
The results are from the first round of an ongoing study by USC researchers and Public Health officials .
They will be conducting antibody testing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ samples of adults to determine the scope and spread of the pandemic across the county .
Based on results of the first round of testing , the research team estimates that approximately 4.1 % of the county ’ s adult population has antibody to the virus .
Adjusting this estimate for statistical margin of error implies about 2.8 % to 5.6 % of the county ’ s adult population has antibody to the virus- which translates to approximately 221,000 to 442,000 adults in the county who have had the infection .
That estimate @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the 7,994 confirmed cases of COVID-19 reported to the county by the time of the study in early April .
The number of COVID-related deaths in the county has now surpassed 600 .
“ We haven ’ t known the true extent of COVID-19 infections in our community because we have only tested people with symptoms , and the availability of tests has been limited , ” said lead investigator Neeraj Sood , a USC professor of public policy at USC Price School for Public Policy and senior fellow at USC Schaeffer Center @ @ @ @ @ @ @ The estimates also suggest that we might have to recalibrate disease prediction models and rethink public health strategies.

“ These results indicate that many persons may have been unknowingly infected and at risk of transmitting the virus to others , ” said Dr. Barbara Ferrer , director of the L.A. County Department of Public Health .
“ These findings underscore the importance of expanded polymerase chain reaction ( PCR ) testing to diagnose those with infection so @ @ @ @ @ @ @ while also maintaining the broad social distancing interventions.
” The antibody test is helpful for identifying past infection , but a PCR test is required to diagnose current infection .

County than previously thought.
The results are from the first round of an ongoing study by USC researchers and Public Health officials. They will be conducting antibody testing over time on a series of representative samples of adults to determine the scope and spread of the pandemic across the county.
Based on results of the first round of testing, the research team estimates that approximately 4.1% of the county’s adult population has antibody to the virus. Adjusting this estimate for statistical margin of error implies about 2.8% to 5.6% of the county’s adult population has antibody to the virus- which translates to approximately 221,000 to 442,000 adults in the county who have had the infection.

noqreport--2020-04-22--Lessons America MUST learn from the coronavirus crisis

If you ’ re one of the small percentage of Americans who had enough masks , gowns , food , supplies , and toilet paper in your house before the coronavirus hit , then you ’ re probably a “ Prepper.
” And until now , preppers have been ridiculed by a large number of Americans .
Today , it seems like most Americans are either preppers to some extent or wish they could be .
The coronavirus crisis has turned America upside down .
But that ’ s not the only lesson to be learned from all of this @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s not even the most important lesson .
From the leanings toward globalism that have taken over the mindsets of many in government to a rethinking of the efficacy of public schooling , there are plenty of other takeaways that must , well , take away from this whole ordeal .
For example , many of Americans have been forced into exploring the homeschooling lifestyle .
Those of us who have done homeschool and enjoy it are obviously big proponents , but we are often forced to defend our choices to those who @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Now , more have seen it first hand , and while a majority will return to work and send their kids back to school , hopefully at least some have seen the wonders of homeschooling .
Another major challenge is the aforementioned dependence on globalism .
While we shouldn ’ t be an isolated nation like North Korea , we must never be dependent on others when it ’ s not necessary .

If you’re one of the small percentage of Americans who had enough masks, gowns, food, supplies, and toilet paper in your house before the coronavirus hit, then you’re probably a “Prepper.” And until now, preppers have been ridiculed by a large number of Americans. Today, it seems like most Americans are either preppers to some extent or wish they could be. The coronavirus crisis has turned America upside down.
But that’s not the only lesson to be learned from all of this. In many ways, it’s not even the most important lesson. From the leanings toward globalism that have taken over the mindsets of many in government to a rethinking of the efficacy of public schooling, there are plenty of other takeaways that must, well, take away from this whole ordeal.
For example, many of Americans have been forced into exploring the homeschooling lifestyle. Those of us who have done homeschool and enjoy it are obviously big proponents, but we are often forced to defend our choices to those who have never experienced it for themselves. Now, more have seen it first hand, and while a majority will return to work and send their kids back to school, hopefully at least some have seen the wonders of homeschooling.
Another major challenge is the aforementioned dependence on globalism. While we shouldn’t be an isolated nation like North Korea, we must never be dependent on others when it’s not necessary. It’s important to bring as much production back to the United States as possible, not just for the jobs and economic boost but also for the security of knowing when we need something, we aren’t beholden to foreign nations to supply it.
Today, most Americans are just trying to get through this crisis with as little damage to our lives as possible. But the lessons we learn about how to move forward will be important IF we’re willing to heed them.

Harris County , Texas , which includes the city of Houston , is issuing a court order today mandating the use of face masks in public by anyone over the age of 10 .
Those who do not comply face penalties , including possible fines and jail time .
Judge Lina Hidalgo is issuing the order , which will go into effect Monday .

noqreport--2020-04-22--McConnell: Let states go bankrupt

McConnell: Let states go bankrupt

When I ran for California State Controller in 2018 , I warned voters what was coming down the pipeline .
I warned that even without a recession , many smaller and financially strapped municipalities would begin to go into default and go bankrupt , starting around 2021 .
With many local governments having to nearly double their contributions due to losses from the Great Recession , and the lavish pensions they were handing out , the result would be financial ruin .
If you are paying more in pensions than your current salaries , you know you ’ re screwed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ money to pay pensions , current employees , and provide essential , let alone non-essential services .
I warned not if , but when we have our next big recession , California will be in a severe financial crisis along with counties and cities .
The only way to prevent this was by doing massive pension reform and stopping our spending addiction .
Don ’ t believe me .
Here are my responses to questions asked by The San Diego Union-Tribune regarding our pension and the state ’ s spending problem .
Again @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 13 , 2020 , before Governor Newsom was the first governor to shut their state down ( March 19th ) , I warned once again on what was going to transpire .
I stated , “ Unfortunately , for California , unlike municipalities or counties , a state can not go bankrupt to renegotiate contracts or debts .
A state is not the federal government , they don ’ t have the Federal Reserve to artificially create fiat currency and pump money into the economy .
Our problem is so deep that even @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it won ’ t be enough.
” Now , some people may think I ’ m crazy , but let me turn your attention to what Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said today .
“ I would certainly be in favor of allowing states to use the bankruptcy route , ” he said Wednesday in a response to a question on the syndicated Hugh Hewitt radio show .
“ It ’ s saved some cities , and there ’ s no good reason for it not to be available.
” The host cited @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that had given too much to public employee unions , and McConnell said he was reluctant to take on more debt for any rescue .
“ You raised yourself the important issue of what states have done , many of them have done to themselves with their pension programs , ” he said .
“ There ’ s not going to be any desire on the Republican side to bail out state pensions by borrowing money from future generations.
” So , can the federal government bailout the states , yes .
Will @ @ @ @ @ @ @ but it will not be enough money to fix the problem .
Can the federal government allow states to declare bankruptcy , that is unclear .
My initial thought is without a constitutional amendment ; this can ’ t happen .
One thing I ’ m sure of is if they allow states to declare bankruptcy , there will be a myriad of lawsuits from bondholders and public sector unions .
The McConnell article also stated , “ No state has defaulted on its debts since the Great Depression and even after the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ went bankrupt , since governments have broad ability to raise taxes.
” What does this mean ?
Exactly what I told you what was going to happen , massive tax increase and cuts in services because whatever bailout the states get , it will not be nearly enough .
First , I warned that they would be coming after Prop 13 property tax protection regardless of a pension crisis because they know they need more money , they are drunk on spending , and they refuse to fix the problem .
As you @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ballot initiative in November to eliminate parts of Prop 13 .
This would allow the government to raise property taxes as fast and as high as they want .
My prediction is that the state legislature has a two-thirds majority and may act on this before November , or could ignore the voters as they did in 2018 with rent control and go against the wishes of the voters .
It wouldn ’ t surprise me if they tried to eliminate Prop 13 completely , but I suspect they will try to do @ @ @ @ @ @ @ My other prediction is what I warned about during the 2018 campaign and how my opponent , California Controller Betty Yee , was advocating for a service tax , as well as other politicians .
If you ’ re not aware , the service tax is like a sales tax but on service .
For instance , when you get your car fixed you don ’ t pay sales tax on the whole bill , just on the parts .
The labor isn ’ t taxable .
Under a service tax , labor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ taxes at the same rate as sales tax in California it would generate $ 120 billion according to Betty Yee ’ s study .
What percentage a service tax will begin at is unknown at this point , but I ’ m fairly certain you will see a service tax coming in the near future .
I hate that I have to write this article and state the same things year after year .
Hopefully , it will be the last time , but I suspect it won ’ t be .

“Nations, states, and central banks are quietly but rapidly shifting their money to precious metals. With bank runs, recession, CBDCs, and worse on the horizon, it’s easy to see why. NOW is the time to learn more about moving portions of your retirement or wealth to a self-directed gold and silver IRA through an America-First, Christian precious metals company.” – JD Rucker (not a financial advisor, just a guy who’s paying attention)
It wouldn’t surprise me if they tried to eliminate Prop 13 completely, but I suspect they will try to do it piecemeal like they currently are.

noqreport--2020-04-22--Brit Hume makes the case that Joe Biden is senile

If you haven ’ t had a good cringe moment in a while , just tune into the latest random thing former Vice President Joe Biden said .
If you can find pretty much any clip of him speaking over the last couple of months , you ’ ll likely notice he isn ’ t the man he was just a year ago , let alone during his time as Vice President .
It ’ s clear that his cognitive abilities are slipping dramatically , and Brit Hume held no punches telling Tucker Carlson last night that the presumed Democratic @ @ @ @ @ @ @ bantered back and forth about the dilemma this puts the Democratic Party in .
They want to defeat President Trump at all costs , but they can ’ t believe Biden is their guy .
The two Fox News personalities discussed New York Governor Andrew Cuomo as a possible replacement , but concluded that it would be hard to replace Biden at this stage .
In reality , it wouldn ’ t be .
On this episode of the NOQ Report , we discussed how Biden could easily be replaced after-the-fact as well @ @ @ @ @ @ @ VP pick is will be assumed by millions of Americans to be the actual president they ’ d be electing .
Biden ’ s future isn ’ t looking good and being replaced by his Vice President should he win the election will be top of mind for voters .
But the more likely scenario to keep it “ clean ” is for the Democrats to replace Biden before or at the convention .
Hume and Carlson say this is hard .
It isn ’ t hard at all .
The obvious answer @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Biden to accumulate enough delegates to win before the convention , then drop out .
Some would wonder why he didn ’ t just do that before .
The reason : Senator Bernie Sanders .
The DNC needed someone , anyone to beat Sanders for the nomination and after billionaire Mike Bloomberg ’ s embarrassing debate failures , it became clear to the power brokers in the Democratic Establishment that Biden was the only one to do it .
They could leverage Biden with whatever dirt they have on him .
Or , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deal to help him and his family going forward if he would only drop out ahead of the convention .
An emergency set of rules would be proposed and voted on by delegates , at which point they would insert whichever candidate they feel is best .
It could be Cuomo .
There is a chance it could be California Governor Gavin Newsom .
Hillary Clinton is always lurking .
And if Michelle Obama has secret presidential ambitions , then should would do just as she ’ s doing now : Deny .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ would be a great look for her .
Leftist media may be taking offense to Brit Hume telling Tucker Carlson that Joe Biden is senile , but there ’ s on thing the media isn ’ t doing .
They ’ re not denying the validity of the claim .
Whether they ’ re stuck with Joe or not , he ’ s a big problem for them in November .

noqreport--2020-04-22--Once you flatten the curve, the Left will just move the goalposts

When the IMHE models were introduced , there was a pretty high peak in the number of COVID-19 infections .
Related to this high peak , there were a significant number of hospitalizations and deaths in a very short time period .
The fear was we would run out of hospital beds and critical care resources such as ventilators .
The Coronavirus Task Force extended their original guidelines to slow the spread from 15 days to 30 .
The goal was to flatten the curve on the IMHE model .
What It Is What does “ flatten the curve ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ nation were buying time to ramp up medical resources so that every patient could receive needed care and to try and identify effective therapeutics .
Largely , these goals have been met .
Every patient who has required an ICU bed or a ventilator has been provided one .
We have been able to shift these resources between regions with outbreaks .
The federal government continues to build additional capacity in the event it is needed .
There are also dozens of clinical trials going on for therapeutic drugs .
Clinicians have offered @ @ @ @ @ @ @ we continue to refine how those with severe disease are cared for .
Our testing system has been significantly upgraded .
Supply chain management has been upgraded through public/private partnerships and new systems to identify and deliver resources on a just in time basis .
This is why the United States in among the lowest global mortality rates from COVID .
However , this period of severe social distancing and economic shutdown was never meant to stop the virus from circulating in the population .
It was meant to slow the rate at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ would not be overwhelmed .
When you flatten the curve , the area under it remains largely the same .
The curve just extends over a longer period of time and the peak is blunted .
Anyone expecting COVID to disappear from our lives is under a serious delusion .
As we open up , people are going to continue to test positive .
Some will get severely ill. A small number will unfortunately die .
What we can be assured of is that every patient will be properly cared for .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ will continue to improve lowering the number of severe cases and fatalities .
I feel the need to make this distinction because my state , Georgia , will be one of the first to emerge from severe lockdown .
On April 3 , Governor Kemp issued a statewide stay at home order .

More than likely , this is the case .
No one ever said it wouldn ’ t be .

When the IMHE models were introduced, there was a pretty high peak in the number of COVID-19 infections. Related to this high peak, there were a significant number of hospitalizations and deaths in a very short time period. The fear was we would run out of hospital beds and critical care resources such as ventilators. The Coronavirus Task Force extended their original guidelines to slow the spread from 15 days to 30. The goal was to flatten the curve on the IMHE model.
What It Is
What does “flatten the curve” mean? It meant we as a nation were buying time to ramp up medical resources so that every patient could receive needed care and to try and identify effective therapeutics. Largely, these goals have been met. Every patient who has required an ICU bed or a ventilator has been provided one. We have been able to shift these resources between regions with outbreaks. The federal government continues to build additional capacity in the event it is needed.
There are also dozens of clinical trials going on for therapeutic drugs. Clinicians have offered anecdotal information based on patient experience and we continue to refine how those with severe disease are cared for. Our testing system has been significantly upgraded. Supply chain management has been upgraded through public/private partnerships and new systems to identify and deliver resources on a just in time basis.
What It Isn’t
This is why the United States in among the lowest global mortality rates from COVID. However, this period of severe social distancing and economic shutdown was never meant to stop the virus from circulating in the population. It was meant to slow the rate at which it moved so our healthcare system would not be overwhelmed. When you flatten the curve, the area under it remains largely the same. The curve just extends over a longer period of time and the peak is blunted.
Anyone expecting COVID to disappear from our lives is under a serious delusion. As we open up, people are going to continue to test positive. Some will get severely ill. A small number will unfortunately die. What we can be assured of is that every patient will be properly cared for. We can also have great hope that treatment will continue to improve lowering the number of severe cases and fatalities.
First Mover
I feel the need to make this distinction because my state, Georgia, will be one of the first to emerge from severe lockdown. On April 3, Governor Kemp issued a statewide stay at home order. Until that point the response was being managed at the local level. My particular area had been closed with stay at home orders for two weeks prior to that point. Most of us have been hunkered down for over a month.
The Governor has now authorized opening up certain types of businesses with conditions beginning Friday. Like other Governors who have opened beaches or are inching back to somewhat normal operations, Governor Kemp is coming under significant criticism. Media talking heads and Democrats like failed gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams are screaming. “People are going to get sick!” “People are going to die!”. More than likely, this is the case. No one ever said it wouldn’t be.
Other Public Health Costs
However, no one is calculating the real public health cost of continuing to stay locked down. What are the cost in lives of missed mammograms, colon cancer screenings and blood A1C labs? How many new cancers have we missed and heart stents haven’t been placed? What are the life threatening effects for those awaiting joint surgeries who have lain immobile for 45 days? COVID-19 is not the only illness that people become very ill or die from. It is not even the most common.
There will absolutely be deaths that can be attributed to delay or denial of treatment during this time period. Hardly anyone is talking about them. Meanwhile in Georgia, healthcare workers are being furloughed and ancillary services like physical therapy have closed their doors. Given our total COVID-19 experience to date, it makes no sense to continue these policies regarding so called “elective” healthcare.
We Are Smarter Now
Additionally, we know who are most vulnerable to COVID-19 and how to protect them and the public. No one in Georgia or is suggesting we throw open nursing homes to visitors. Or that those with pre-existing conditions change what they are currently doing. However, for large swaths of the population the risk is relatively low. This becomes even more evident as data on asymptomatic cases continues to accumulate.

For some reason they also think you are incapable of taking in information and making good decisions. They have also been wrong about almost everything. From comparing COVID-19 to the flu in January, then calling the China travel ban xenophobic, to the estimation of the impact. The experts were building the plane while they were flying it. As one might expect, their models were way off.
