Boston was the birthplace of peaceful political protest in this country , so it was only fitting today that hundreds of people showed up at @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Baker end the ridiculous lockdown and the continued restrictions on our freedoms .
The longer this goes the more people wake up and leave Team Lockdown , since the lockdowns have been a spectacular and deadly failure .
By focusing on restricting rights of the healthy instead of protecting the health of the most vulnerable , we have seen deadly outbreaks at nursing homes while the government wastes their time and energy forcing people to wear masks .

Good thing he didn ’ t inspire other nutjobs to reply to his tweets with more specific death @ @ @ @ @ @ @ demented , and evil , and yet they think they have the moral high ground .
In Kerry Sweet ’ s twisted line of thinking he was able to justify this tweet by telling himself that the people who attended this peaceful protest are all trying to kill old people .
Therefore it ’ s OK to murder them .

This is what the modern day left thinks of everyone who doesn ’ t agree with them .

Camel Urine: Islam’s ‘Best Cure’ for Coronavirus
by Raymond Ibrahim, American Thinker, April 28, 2020:
Muslim advocacy for drinking camel urine is back in the news, this time in connection with the coronavirus, which is especially ironic if not deadly, as will be explained. An “Islamic medicine specialist” and director of a religious-scientific institution in Iran recently called on his countrymen to drink camel urine as the “best cure” for coronavirus and other ailments.
Mehdi Sabili, who is affiliated with the Iranian regime, uploaded a video on his Instagram account extolling the virtues of dromedary urine on April 19. The video, which has since gone viral, also depicted him drinking a glass of freshly procured camel urine — which he enthused was best drunk “fresh and warm” — and calling on fellow Iranians to do the same three times a day for three days (i.e., nine full glasses).
Where does this idea come from? As usual and with everything Islamic, the drinking of camel urine for salutary benefits is traced back to Muhammad (and, for Iran’s Shias, subsequent imams). According to canonical hadiths or traditions, the prophet medicinally prescribed the ingestion of dromedary urine.
The drinking of camel urine for salutary benefits is traced back to Muhammad.
Somewhat relatedly, Muhammad’s own urine — which some of his followers eagerly drank — was and continues to be considered a great and salutary blessing, one that even safeguards against the fires of Hell.
For faithful Muslims such as Iran’s Sabili, because urine-drinking — in this case, camels’ — was recommended by the prophet, it must remain applicable, regardless of what “science” has come to say on the matter. Such is the totalitarian nature of Islamic law, or sharia, which treats not just the Koran, but canonical hadiths as sacred and not to be questioned.
Nor is this some sudden, desperate response to the coronavirus. For example, back in 2012, Dr. Zaghlul al-Naggar, a prominent Islamic thinker and the chairman of Egypt’s Committee of Scientific Notions in the Koran, revealed on a live television show that a medical center in Marsa Matrouh actually specialized in treating people with camel urine — all in accord with the prophet’s advice. When another guest challenged al-Naggar, saying urine is where all the body’s toxins are carried out — “so, shall we drink it for health?” — the representative of “Islamic science” responded with arrogance: “I am older than you and more learned than you: you are not going to teach me; I will teach generations of people like you.”
A few months later, in late 2012, a video appeared showing men collecting camel urine in buckets and giving it to people who, in the narrator’s words, are “looking to be healed from influenza, diabetes, infectious diseases, infertility,” etc. Several women were shown drinking the camel urine — and doing all they could to keep it down and not vomit. The Egyptian narrator concluded by saying he is airing this video not to mock or revile, but to determine “whether we are moving forward, or whether we are moving backwards.”
Indeed, such is the tragedy. Not only is drinking camel urine not beneficial, but it appears to have been directly linked to a coronavirus outbreak: in 2012, only Saudi Arabia — the home of Islam and its holy cities — was plagued by another form of coronavirus (MERS-CoV, AKA “Camel Flu”). A whopping 40% of the more than one thousand Saudis who contracted it died. One of its causes, which the World Health Organization strongly warned against, was the drinking of camel urine.
Relying on other forms of “sharia medicine” — for instance, “inserting velvet oil into the anus” to combat coronavirus — has also led to casualties. In Iran alone, a coronavirus patient who was told by a cleric to smell roses as a cure died soon thereafter, and the son of a prominent ayatollah confessed that his father had died because he had trusted so-called “Islamic medicine specialists.”
In the end, the mentality that extols the ingestion of camel urine is the same mentality that calls for “jihad against infidels.” Both are defined by blind obedience to the utterances of Muhammad — just as both lead to suffering.

“ The most likely scenario is that cases go up , not down , ” Gottlieb said .
“ I think that we need to understand this may be the new normal , ” Gottlieb said in an interview with Savannah Guthrie on NBC ’ s “ TODAY ” show .

The U.S. is still experiencing a “ high level of infection , ” Gottlieb said , and has been on a sustained plateau for about 30 days , with about 30,000 new COVID-19 cases a day and sometimes 2,000 deaths per day .
While he said New York has seen a sustained decline in cases , they are increasing around the rest of the country .
“ There ’ s about 20 states where cases are going up on a @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , ” he said .
Gottlieb ’ s comments come as some states are permitting businesses to reopen and after a new Trump administration report obtained by The New York Times projected that deaths from the coronavirus could reach 3,000 a day on June 1 .
The document said that the administration ’ s forecast could reach 200,000 new COVID-19 cases a day by the end of the month .
“ Modeling is imprecise and that ’ s why we shouldn ’ t put stock in any one model , ” Gottlieb said @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like forecasting the weather where you make a prediction and then you see what happens .
You make these predictions and then you take actions based on those predictions .

Ok, great. So we can end the lockdowns and all get back to work then, eh?
Fear-pornagraphers and panic-promoters are speed balling. Every day the sky is falling bigger and badder.

pamelagellerreport--2020-05-06--Fake News CNN Uses Coronavirus Double Standard To Slam Florida’s Rep. Governor DeSantis

Ron DeSantis is perhaps America ’ s best governor .
Floridians should thank their lucky stars that it is Ron DeSantis who is in charge of Florida , and not that corrupt sleaze Andrew Gillum .
Despite DeSantis ’ superb handling of the COVID-19 pandemic , CNN is attacking him viciously and relentlessly .
They are trying to drive his approval ratings down .
That is because CNN knows that it will be much harder for President Trump to win Florida , if DeSantis ’ approval ratings are underwater .
CNN would also like to destroy any chance of DeSantis @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 2024 .
Totally despicable , but that ’ s CNN .
The people of Florida must get behind Ron DeSantis whole heatedly .
We need a popular Governor Ron DeSantis campaigning for President Trump all over Florida this fall .
In Florida we took swift action to protect our elderly and vulnerable residents in long-term care facilities .
Thank you @ seanhannity for highlighting these efforts .
pic.twitter.com/AgcmyDcHXs CNN is playing the long game , trying to hurt a successful Republican ’ s future .
To CNN , this isn ’ t about @ @ @ @ @ @ @ and 2024 .
By The Federalist , May 05 , 2020 Our health and economy are not the only things suffering under coronavirus .
Media and political hypocrisy and partisan double standards are at crisis levels .
The important role of a free press is being jettisoned to achieve leftist political outcomes .
When a free press debases itself in this way , the public loses confidence in the press and devolves to cynicism .
This is hurting health policy and the body politic .
Expecting every politician to have gotten everything right @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
They ’ re operating with limited information and looked at predictions we now know are demonstrably wrong .
The news problem has been applying different standards and coming to different political conclusions when looking at the same data .
Our national crisis is not the time for petty partisanship , especially from our press .
A Tale of Two States—and One ‘ News ’ Service Compare CNN ’ s COVID-19 coverage in California to Florida and you ’ ll see the problem .
Here , on April 10 , is Editor-at-Large and @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Ron DeSantis : “ Unfortunately for Republican Florida Gov .
Ron DeSantis , the fight against coronavirus has exposed the fact that he may simply not be up to this moment in history.
” The basis for “ the fact ” the governor is not up to his job ?
DeSantis ’ s statement , “ I don ’ t think nationwide there ’ s been a single fatality under 25 .
For whatever reason it just doesn ’ t seem to threaten , you know , kids.
” Cillizza pounced .
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ ( CDC ) showing five people younger than 25 years old have died from COVID-19 .
Three were under 15 .
With 330,000,000 people in the United States , that means a full 0.000002 percent of the country had died of COVID-19 while under 25 .
Cillizza neglects the larger point , which DeSantis correctly made : the virus has a much greater effect on older people .
The CDC ’ s Provisional Death Count on April 23 showed 23,358 had died , and only three younger than 15 : 99.99 percent were @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Despite DeSantis prefacing his statement with “ I think , ” 99.99 percent wasn ’ t good enough for CNN .
DeSantis was off by 0.01 percent , consistent with CDC findings , and understood by 99.99 percent of his audience—just not by CNN ’ s editor-at-large : “ The governor of ANY state ” Cillizza wrote , “ shouldn ’ t be making statements like ‘ the data has been 100 % consistent ’ if he , uh , doesn ’ t know that with 100 % accuracy.
” Cillizza concludes his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ like this one are clarifying .
When a fearful and anxious public turns to its government for guidance and leadership , there ’ s nowhere for people like the governor of a state to hide from the massive responsibility.
” That ’ s true .
This moment clarifies not just how politicians are doing , and where their biases are , but also of those covering them .
CNN is OK publishing an obvious hit piece in a time of national crisis .
Their editor wants “ a fearful and anxious public ” @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
Where , if not Florida , should they turn for bold leadership and accurate foresight on this crisis ?
Consider this praise article a day earlier , lauding California and its governor , Gavin Newsom .
Newsom was first to order statewide restrictions ; he ordered millions of masks ; he over-acquired ventilators ; California leaders took it seriously and tens of thousands of lives were saved .
The article does not explore why , just a few days before the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation ’ s projected “ peak @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ventilators out of the state .
It doesn ’ t remind us that , on March 18 , the governor wrote President Trump that 25.5 million Californians could be infected , with some 5 million being hospitalized .
The governor was trying to increase California ’ s 20,000-plus hospital beds to 100,000 beds .
But by March 20 , the governor ’ s head of Health and Human Services confirmed the governor ’ s numbers were off , based on bad modeling .
On April 23 , the IHME predicted a total need @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 33,261 cases statewide .

Ron DeSantis is perhaps America’s best governor. Floridians should thank their lucky stars that it is Ron DeSantis who is in charge of Florida, and not that corrupt sleaze Andrew Gillum.

Expecting every politician to have gotten everything right from day one would be patently unfair. They’re operating with limited information and looked at predictions we now know are demonstrably wrong. The news problem has been applying different standards and coming to different political conclusions when looking at the same data. Our national crisis is not the time for petty partisanship, especially from our press. A Tale of Two States—and One ‘News’ Service Compare CNN’s COVID-19 coverage in California to Florida and you’ll see the problem. Here, on April 10, is Editor-at-Large and political reporter Chris Cillizza on Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis: “Unfortunately for Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, the fight against coronavirus has exposed the fact that he may simply not be up to this moment in history.” The basis for “the fact” the governor is not up to his job? DeSantis’s statement, “I don’t think nationwide there’s been a single fatality under 25. For whatever reason it just doesn’t seem to threaten, you know, kids.” Cillizza pounced. He cited the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) showing five people younger than 25 years old have died from COVID-19. Three were under 15. With 330,000,000 people in the United States, that means a full 0.000002 percent of the country had died of COVID-19 while under 25. Cillizza neglects the larger point, which DeSantis correctly made: the virus has a much greater effect on older people. The CDC’s Provisional Death Count on April 23 showed 23,358 had died, and only three younger than 15: 99.99 percent were not the kids DeSantis spoke of. Despite DeSantis prefacing his statement with “I think,” 99.99 percent wasn’t good enough for CNN. DeSantis was off by 0.01 percent, consistent with CDC findings, and understood by 99.99 percent of his audience—just not by CNN’s editor-at-large: “The governor of ANY state” Cillizza wrote, “shouldn’t be making statements like ‘the data has been 100% consistent’ if he, uh, doesn’t know that with 100% accuracy.” Cillizza concludes his “news” story: “Moments like this one are clarifying. When a fearful and anxious public turns to its government for guidance and leadership, there’s nowhere for people like the governor of a state to hide from the massive responsibility.” That’s true. This moment clarifies not just how politicians are doing, and where their biases are, but also of those covering them. CNN is OK publishing an obvious hit piece in a time of national crisis. Their editor wants “a fearful and anxious public” to turn to its government for guidance. Where, if not Florida, should they turn for bold leadership and accurate foresight on this crisis? CNN on California Consider this praise article a day earlier, lauding California and its governor, Gavin Newsom. Newsom was first to order statewide restrictions; he ordered millions of masks; he over-acquired ventilators; California leaders took it seriously and tens of thousands of lives were saved. The article does not explore why, just a few days before the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation’s projected “peak resource” day, Newsom would send ventilators out of the state. It doesn’t remind us that, on March 18, the governor wrote President Trump that 25.5 million Californians could be infected, with some 5 million being hospitalized. The governor was trying to increase California’s 20,000-plus hospital beds to 100,000 beds. But by March 20, the governor’s head of Health and Human Services confirmed the governor’s numbers were off, based on bad modeling. On April 23, the IHME predicted a total need of only 2,503 beds, with only 33,261 cases statewide.

LIVE VIDEO: President Trump visits Phoenix, tours Honeywell facility By ABC Arizona, May 5, 2020: PHOENIX — President Donald Trump is visiting the Valley today, making a stop at a local Honeywell facility that has been enlisted to help in manufacturing much-needed N95 masks.
The company has added new production capability in Phoenix to meet the increased demand for N-95 respirator masks amid the coronavirus. The Arizona visit is President Trump’s first trip away from the Washington area in more than a month. He last came to our state in February for a “Keep America Great” rally. President Trump said he also hopes to visit Ohio soon and to be able to hold rallies later on.
American manufacturing is at the heart of our battle against the Coronavirus. Companies across the country have heeded President Trump’s call and repurposed entire factories to make personal protective equipment and other needed supplies. Honeywell is one such business with an incredible story to tell. Today, President Trump saw firsthand how the company transformed an aerospace facility in Arizona—one that designed and manufactured aircraft propulsion engines and auxiliary power units—into a nimble face-mask production line. As a result, Honeywell is expected to produce more than 20 million N95 masks per month. This expanded operation has allowed the firm to begin hiring 500 additional workers at its Phoenix facility, creating jobs during a tough time for many Americans.

Fantastic work , Governor DeSantis !
Throughout the coronavirus pandemic , Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis , overall one of the most popular governors in the county , has been lambasted by the Left frequently for the way he has handled the virus .

In short , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ thereof , would cause mass death and the overrun of the state ’ s healthcare system .
But , like everything else the Left says , this proved to be wrong .

In response to the criticism , DeSantis laid out a presentation comparing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ two and a half minutes .
The Governor ’ s full speech can be found below where he talked about the way the pandemic has been handled by the state , such as ventilator availability , how Florida did much better than full-lockdown places such as New York and Italy , and his “ safe , smart , step-by-step ” plan for reopening Florida : The Truth Must be Told Please take a moment to consider this .

pamelagellerreport--2020-05-06--Another Doctor Questions The Lockdowns

Another Doctor Questions The Lockdowns

Can We Discuss Flatten-the-Curve in COVID19 ?
My Eight Assertions On Telehealth , an older couple asked me a tough question about COVID19 .
They asked whether this virus would either be gone or less dangerous in 6 months to a year .
It was a curious question .
I replied , Why do you ask ?
Indeed my patient was correct .
Dr. Scott Gottlieb writing in the WSJ , did not mince words : In essence , my couple asks whether flatten-the-curve policies save lives .
Buried in that question are three other questions : namely , in @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 1 ) gone , or 2 ) less contagious , or 3 ) less deadly ?
If any of those three are true , then my couple could rationally decide to stay lonely for a year or more .
I study this new virus and this once-in-a-lifetime-situation every day .
I don ’ t think flatten-the-curve policies will change any of those issues .
Let me explain my reasoning .
I may be wrong ; tell me if you disagree in the comments .
You now know the famous curves–one with an early @ @ @ @ @ @ @ flatter curve that spreads the infections over time .
The y-axis is number of COVID19 cases .
In early March the COVID19 narratives were from Wuhan , Iran , Lombardy and Spain , places where surges overwhelmed hospitals .
In the US , COVID cases spiked in NYC .
Early COVID19 surges were over-running some big-city hospitals .
This was bad because it caused excess or preventable death–people who could have been saved were not saved because of shortages of ICU beds , dialysis equipment , staff and ventilators .
Social distancing policies @ @ @ @ @ @ @ necessary to stop the excess deaths .
These policies allowed time for hospitals to prepare for COVID19 cases and for doctors to learn how best to treat these patients .
Exhibit A : not intubating patients early .
Social distancing worked .
The number of cases slowed and the US got into the blue part of the curve .
But now , months later , the narrative has changed .
What was once flatten the curve to prevent over-running hospitals has changed to flatten the curve to save lives .
Some likened moderation @ @ @ @ @ @ @ That change in framing , I believe , is misleading .
I will argue that the cumulative deaths from COVID19 will not be reduced significantly by flatten-the-curve policies .
And that this virus will be as dangerous to vulnerable patients in 6 months to a year .
We should be allowed to debate this .
My case has eight assertions .
First : the virus will not be contained .
The chance for containment has long passed .
The virus transmits before people know they have it and many patients never develop symptoms @ @ @ @ @ @ @ an effective vaccine is both widely available and widely used .
( See # 6 ) Second : Tests will under-perform .
The high rate of asymptomatic disease , the low sensitivity of PCR tests ( false negatives ) , imperfect specificity of antibody tests ( false positives ) and concerns over privacy mean that we should expect less from test and trace–even if proposed by a Nobel Laureate .
Carl Bergstrom and others write persuasively on major barriers to contact tracing in the US .
Third : US hospitals are now prepared @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
In fact , many hospitals are so dormant they are nearing financial ruin .
Healthcare workers have been furloughed due to postponement of elective work .
I ’ ve talked to numerous colleagues in the US and the message is clear : hospitals are under-capacity and prepared for a “ persistent ” number of COVID19 cases during the coming months/years .
Hospitals now have COVID response teams .
Fourth : Americans are not stupid .
Before governors enacted lockdowns , economic activity and travel slowed , the NBA , MBL , NHL @ @ @ @ @ @ @ cancelled .
People socially distance not because police are bearing down on them , but because it makes sense .
The pictures of spring-breakers in Florida and crazies-with-guns in state capitals bring clicks to news organizations but belie the majority of sensible people in this country .
Fifth : Public-health surveillance has improved .
Tests may underperform but they will not be useless .
Tests will help signal coming hot spots and that will allow communities to act locally .
Other technologies may emerge that help prevent surges .
One cool example is @ @ @ @ @ @ @ that might signal health officials early on .
Sixth : ( I need a few paragraphs ) : Social distancing will not lower the infection fatality rate or IFR .
Remember the red and blue curves ?
The y-axis of that graph is number of infections .
Due to the contagion of this virus , the area under these curves is likely to be the same at the end of two years .
Ok , then , if the number of cases is similar at two years , then the number of people @ @ @ @ @ @ @ either .
The only way fewer people die from COVID19 over time is if the IFR declines .
Here is where American exceptionalism misleads people .
Politicians have a strong bias to pump up optimism on any potential medical advance–no matter how dubious .
( Exhibit B- hydroxychloroquine . )
That is not how Medicine works .
History is replete with examples showing that drug development is super hard .
But leaving aside the challenge of developing new drugs against a new virus , the basic math of COVID19 creates a huge barrier @ @ @ @ @ @ @ 99 % of people infected with this virus survive .
A therapy that has a massive 50 % reduction in death from a disease with 1 % mortality ( high estimate ) delivers only a 0.5 % absolute risk reduction .
What about Remdesivir ?

Can We Discuss Flatten-the-Curve in COVID19? My Eight Assertions
On Telehealth, an older couple asked me a tough question about COVID19. They asked whether this virus would either be gone or less dangerous in 6 months to a year.
It was a curious question. I replied, Why do you ask?
Doc, we have a big family with many children and grandchildren, most of whom live nearby. We miss them. We’ve been isolating, but it’s hard; we did it for 6 weeks. Doing it for a year or more would be miserable.
We saw on the news today that the battle with the virus would be long. A man called it a cruel new normal.
So doc, if you tell me the the virus will be gone in a year or it will be less dangerous to get infected later, then it makes sense for us to keep isolating. But if the situation will not be much different a year from now, we would just as soon see our family and take the risk. Of course, doc, we would still be sensible. We’d not visit if someone was sick; we would wash our hands and wear masks.
Indeed my patient was correct. Dr. Scott Gottlieb writing in the WSJ, did not mince words:
Hospitals and public-health systems will have to contend with persistent disease and death.
In essence, my couple asks whether flatten-the-curve policies save lives. Buried in that question are three other questions: namely, in one year, will the virus be 1) gone, or 2) less contagious, or 3) less deadly? If any of those three are true, then my couple could rationally decide to stay lonely for a year or more.
I study this new virus and this once-in-a-lifetime-situation every day.
I don’t think flatten-the-curve policies will change any of those issues. Let me explain my reasoning. I may be wrong; tell me if you disagree in the comments.
Flatten-the-Curve Purpose
You now know the famous curves–one with an early surge of disease, and the other flatter curve that spreads the infections over time. The y-axis is number of COVID19 cases.
In early March the COVID19 narratives were from Wuhan, Iran, Lombardy and Spain, places where surges overwhelmed hospitals. In the US, COVID cases spiked in NYC.
Early COVID19 surges were over-running some big-city hospitals. This was bad because it caused excess or preventable death–people who could have been saved were not saved because of shortages of ICU beds, dialysis equipment, staff and ventilators.
Social distancing policies and postponement of elective medical care were necessary to stop the excess deaths. These policies allowed time for hospitals to prepare for COVID19 cases and for doctors to learn how best to treat these patients. Exhibit A: not intubating patients early.
Social distancing worked. The number of cases slowed and the US got into the blue part of the curve. But now, months later, the narrative has changed.
Change in Flatten-the-Curve Narrative
What was once flatten the curve to prevent over-running hospitals has changed to flatten the curve to save lives. Some likened moderation of social distancing to human sacrifice.
That change in framing, I believe, is misleading. I will argue that the cumulative deaths from COVID19 will not be reduced significantly by flatten-the-curve policies. And that this virus will be as dangerous to vulnerable patients in 6 months to a year. We should be allowed to debate this.
My case has eight assertions.
First: the virus will not be contained. The chance for containment has long passed. The virus transmits before people know they have it and many patients never develop symptoms. It will be with us until an effective vaccine is both widely available and widely used. (See #6)
Second: Tests will under-perform. The high rate of asymptomatic disease, the low sensitivity of PCR tests (false negatives), imperfect specificity of antibody tests (false positives) and concerns over privacy mean that we should expect less from test and trace–even if proposed by a Nobel Laureate. Carl Bergstrom and others write persuasively on major barriers to contact tracing in the US.
Third: US hospitals are now prepared and in little danger of being over-whelmed. In fact, many hospitals are so dormant they are nearing financial ruin. Healthcare workers have been furloughed due to postponement of elective work. I’ve talked to numerous colleagues in the US and the message is clear: hospitals are under-capacity and prepared for a “persistent” number of COVID19 cases during the coming months/years. Hospitals now have COVID response teams.
Fourth: Americans are not stupid. Before governors enacted lockdowns, economic activity and travel slowed, the NBA, MBL, NHL stopped their seasons and medical meetings were cancelled. People socially distance not because police are bearing down on them, but because it makes sense. The pictures of spring-breakers in Florida and crazies-with-guns in state capitals bring clicks to news organizations but belie the majority of sensible people in this country.
Fifth: Public-health surveillance has improved. Tests may underperform but they will not be useless. Tests will help signal coming hot spots and that will allow communities to act locally. Other technologies may emerge that help prevent surges. One cool example is the use of resting heart rate apps that might signal health officials early on.
Sixth: (I need a few paragraphs): Social distancing will not lower the infection fatality rate or IFR. Remember the red and blue curves? The y-axis of that graph is number of infections. Due to the contagion of this virus, the area under these curves is likely to be the same at the end of two years. Ok, then, if the number of cases is similar at two years, then the number of people who cumulatively die will not likely change either.
The only way fewer people die from COVID19 over time is if the IFR declines. Here is where American exceptionalism misleads people. Politicians have a strong bias to pump up optimism on any potential medical advance–no matter how dubious. (Exhibit B- hydroxychloroquine.)
That is not how Medicine works. History is replete with examples showing that drug development is super hard. But leaving aside the challenge of developing new drugs against a new virus, the basic math of COVID19 creates a huge barrier for success: already, more than 99% of people infected with this virus survive. A therapy that has a massive 50% reduction in death from a disease with 1% mortality (high estimate) delivers only a 0.5% absolute risk reduction.
What about Remdesivir? This antiviral may help a little. But even if you believe its ≈ 3% reduction of death was not due to chance (p = 0.06), the death rate in the remdesivir arm in that trial was 8%. Remdesivir is no game-changer.
COVID19 vaccine development is sobering. Most experts say a safe and effective vaccine is at least 18 months away. Again, the 99% survivability erects a huge safety barrier for vaccine makers. (I get that from Dr. Paul Offit.) Given society’s tension over vaccines, it would take only a tiny signal of harm to derail a coronavirus vaccine.
A slight hedge on the sixth assertion that IFR remains constant: some smart people say that getting the virus later may be better because doctors will be a little better at treating this disease. For instance, a year from now we may better understand how to use drugs that block clotting; we may have better vent protocols. These are big ifs. They may drive the IFR down a little but IFR is already low. Another benefit of infection in a year would be that most hospitals will likely allow family visitors.
Seventh: The more we test, the lower the IFR goes. Early estimates had it at 3%. Then it was revised downward to about 1%. Now most people put it at 0.1-0.5%. But that is still quite serious. You’ve probably read that 0.1% is similar to flu mortality. That is likely wrong. Dr. Jeremy Faust points out that flu mortality is grossly overestimated and is probably much lower than 0.1%.
Eighth: I wrote a piece on Medscape about the harms from COVID19 interventions. One of the points I made is that right now we count only deaths from COVID19. We stay riveted on day-to-day numbers. But the endpoint of this crisis is not next month but in 1-2 years. And when we get there, we have to count people who died from COVID19 and those who died from other causes.
This preprint from prominent researchers suggests a substantial proportion of excess deaths observed during the pandemic are not attributed to COVID19 and may represent an excess of deaths due to other causes.
In my column I cited an older study by Raj Chetty and co-workers that finds a strong association of lower income and lower survival. And that is the rub with COVID19 interventions: they make poor people even poorer. The rich just work from home. It is possible, therefore, that our social interventions will be especially hard on the disadvantaged.
I realize that no person overtly dismisses the harm from economic shutdowns. My friend Dr. Dan Morgan expresses my frustrations well in this thread. Why can one safely critique a drug for COVID19 but not massive public health interventions?
Conclusion:
I did not have a clear answer for my couple. But after thinking and writing about this question it seems that the most reasonable approach in this crisis is transparent information–no matter how stark. And, crucially, we must have space for public debate.
I hate this virus. I wish it never came. But we can make it worse by avoiding hard discussions on tradeoffs, the limits of modern medicine and risk.
