There's a screenshot, but no vid that I can find on that page.

You on mobile? I can watch it no bother on the laptop here. It's definitely there. Looks like a screenshot but can be played. It's after around 5 minutes she gives those quotes

Laptop, so it must be one of my blockers that doesn't like the vid file.

I have Ublock origin on mine here with Chromium plays it fine. Can confirm the quotes are legit anyway.

So this is the Rory's Stories I constantly see being mercilessly crucified on social media for not being funny! Certainly all makes sense now  :laugh:

A more well-researched take on my own initial impression that there was something a bit iffy about the worldwide response. I said back in March or April that the whole thing was giving me Cambridge Analytica vibes, which was subject to some rebuke. It was only a gut feeling I had but I still think it applies.

Here is a site from Martin Kulldorff which aims to collect as many anti-lockdown articles as possible in the one place
http://thepriceofpanic.com/

And lastly, this one is a long read but the first article I've posted here might give some indication as to why Ireland abandoned its' own pandemic response plan as soon as one was actually announced.. https://www.hpsc.ie/a-z/respiratory/influenza/pandemicinfluenza/guidance/pandemicinfluenzapreparednessforireland/File,3260,en.pdf

The response here has been based on a far higher IFR than what is actually being seen worldwide and given what we now know, it's interesting (depressing/infuriating) to see where our initial plan would have us now. Hint: Not where we are at.

Edit: Must put in the WHO's own pandemic management advice from 2019. https://apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/handle/10665/329438/9789241516839-eng.pdf

The impatient among us can skip to page 9 for the part where they say "Not recommended in any circumstances" for "Contact tracing" and "Quarantine of exposed individuals" and also "Internal travel restrictions".

And look at what we are at.... Go China!!!


They've just announced 523 new deaths here for last 24 hours...

Sound ominous. A good exercise around that is to check the ICU figures for today and yesterday as it gives a bit of insight as to how many of those patients were adjudged to be too infirm to be afforded ICU due to age or other underlying factors. Then throw that into the average deaths per day for France which is 15 or 16 hundred a day roughly. And lastly when they become available, check today's all cause mortality figures and see where it is in terms of the average. Also wait for the age breakdown to see if it buries the notions of the Great Barrington crowd.

If then the daily excess is 400 or 500 across all age ranges, it's time for https://www.vyzrtech.com/products/bio-vyzr 

Half of that figure is from retirement homes, I think probably accumulated over a few days, though I'm not sure. Either way, even the remaining half is a big uptick in mortalities which has been looming since the daily infection figures hit the 30k+ a couple of weeks ago. Seems highly likely Macron will announce a second lockdown in his planned address to the nation tomorrow evening (planned since yesterday).

I reckon your prediction will turn out to be true. I think a second lockdown is inevitable in all countries in europe who had one in the first place. I have many suspicions about that, especially given the natural rise in respiratory infections and deaths for the time of year, but it's happening one way or the other.



Something I discovered on a French stats site yesterday is that the age group 15-44 is hugely over-represented in COVID suspicion visits to E&R and house calls compared to older age groups. With house calls, between May and this week, they account for 57% of all house calls, and - obviously, since they're a very low risk group - they have the smallest percentage of hospitalizations per E&R visit, at around 13%. In other words, the other 87% didn't need to go to the hospital. Intuitively I translate this as an indication that the younger age group are disproportionately worried about themselves, that they're the age group that are panicking the most, even though they're the least in danger.

Anyone know if similar stats available for other countries??

I meant to have a look at that for Ireland earlier but I gave meself the day off from the covid. It did get me wondering about how many gratuitous hospitalisations with mild illness are occurring due to the general fear instilled in people rather than the reassurance that is probably needed. That of course doesn't count for those in ICU, but for general beds it must be a bit of the figure. Imagine going to the doctor with flu in your 30's, they wouldn't even begin to contemplate highlighting that 1 in 1000 dies from it, they would just send you home, few days off work and reassure you you'd be grand in a few days like the other 999 out of the 1000. It's rather irresponsible of doctors even to be carrying on the way they are with this one. Me own doctor simply diagnoses over the phone now. Have been given antibiotic for two of the kids without so much as them being looked at. I must ring the cunt for Xanax or Largactil syrup now I think of it. And fuck it if he has a few Stilnacht going I'll take those as well. And D10's still worth a few bob must get a few of those sure I'm gone half mad from the fear of covid doc
