Focused protection anyone? Although given my earlier thoughts around thinking that the reason for our low death rate was the tightening of protocols in exactly those settings, it also shows that the focused protection approach isn't as easy as it sounds.

Brother in law sent me a video from China of him in the pub ringing in the new year good style. No masks no social distancing pints flowing all hugging each other no vaccine no pandemic no problem. We are proper fucking eejits in this country and they are actually laughing at us over there. Laughing at us.

As has been pointed out already, none of the 57 million Chinese people placed on a 10-week hard lockdown last year (which included a shut down of all public transport, airports, etc., even roads in the worst affected areas) were laughing at anyone.

Says Ivermectin should be subject to large scale trials.

It won't happen because it's too cheap.

No they probably weren't then but they actually are laughing at us now though, sure the lad told me they are. It's sad but it's true.

Coming to the time for looking at overall excess mortality to  measure impact of C19 in somewhat clearer terms.

The only thing is, I notice from the graphs that there is excess every winter to greater or lesser degrees. Shouldn't the average account for this as it's a bit misleading to show deaths as a flat average? In most climates I mean, it's probably flatter nearer the equator and extreme polar regions where things are more constant.

I think even the excess mortality is going to generate the same level of debate as the "from/with" of  2020.

Anyway, here's hoping the endemic has less impact this year than last...

Edit: uh oh... https://www.nysenate.gov//legislation/bills/2021/A416

And to round out today's bit, here is an article from January 2020 which might put today's hospitalisation and ICU admissions in perspective a bit considering they are speaking of this coming week one year ago.

95 ICU admissions, zero panic.

Really bad indictment on people in general we cant beat this just through having some discipline.

But sure after 9+ months Corona fatigue was going to always come into play. It's human nature to be social.....
Such is life (and death)......

Really bad indictment on people in general we cant beat this just through having some discipline.

I don't think it's as easy as that. Not letting it in here in the first instance might have went well but once it gets in anywhere it seemingly has to run its course.

Lots of data out there regarding various degrees of lockdown and even of compliance from Google's movement data and there doesn't seem to be a massive difference in being disciplined and not being so.

Sure look at the eastern European countries that avoided the first round and were praised for their compliance and now they are getting a strong dose. Argentina has the world's longest lockdown and has worse stats than Brazil without one. And it goes the other way too, some places with strong discipline did very well and some lax ones got hammered. So it seems to involve more than just being disciplined.

Wonder if the protests had any bearing on that? Or the vitamin D?
