COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition

Below you will find a link to a fairly dry little video of a doctor going over the latest research out of Italy. I fully agree with him that it’s pathetic that we have to wait for Italy to do what EVERY developed nation should have been doing, most especially the US. Here’s the TL;DR: Vitamin D is shown to reduce hospitalization and incidence of death. In normal people speak, vitamin D helps you fight off C19 so that you … Continue reading “COVID 19 Time for Truth: US Edition”

COVID 19 Time for Truth: China Edition

I am a cranky old lady with 18 years disease control experience, two degrees in Political Science and no patience left for nonsense. Any questions? No? Good. The entire response to the panicdemic was botched. The WHO and ESPECIALLY the CDC knew better than the crap they were pulling. We here in the United States have over EIGHTY YEARS of successful disease intervention. We lead the charge in ERADICATING small pox. We DANGED WELL know how to handle a respiratory … Continue reading “COVID 19 Time for Truth: China Edition”

Lockdowns Make It Worse – See China

I am putting my public health hat back on so this will be less politics and more disease control. Let me first say what disease control is NOT – it is NOT medicine. Public health, when it’s doing it’s job properly, works with doctors, but we aren’t deluded enough to believe that makes us doctors, let alone that we should dictate to doctors. Disease control deals with preventing the spread of infectious disease – it does not deal with making … Continue reading “Lockdowns Make It Worse – See China”

Protests and Unrest in China

Okay, those of you that think this is a bad sign for the CCP and that China could collapse, you’re not wrong. Those of you who think China probably won’t collapse aren’t wrong either. Nation-states are resilient and this is not China’s first rodeo. But it is their first ride on a bull this big. So, what does it mean? Well, it means the CCP has pulled off something once believed to be nearly impossible – they have found the … Continue reading “Protests and Unrest in China”

Crazy Like a Biden

Just when you think the Biden admin can’t get crazier, Biden yells ‘hold my beer’. For a variant that has a death toll of exactly one, Biden is deploying American military doctors and other medical personnel into US hospitals come January and February. All 1000 of them. 1000 personnel – the US has 13,944 hospitals as of 2019. Let’s see, 13,944 divided by 1000, carry the one… It’s 13.944 hospitals per military person – might as well round it up … Continue reading “Crazy Like a Biden”
