In other words, we have changed our way of life and spent a whole shitload of money (and in this case, damaged our economy) for a bunch of predictions that just aren’t panning out, and probably never will.

Yes, I am talking about Mr. Mann’s “Hockey Stick” predictions for our worldwide temperature…based on a computer program that no one can fully follow because it is crap programming done in a crappy way then inputted crap data….which resulted in crap for predictions.

And we (the western world and other countries as well), did it again. We listened to another doomsayer who pointed to his computer program and people listened without investigating….
I’m talking about he computer models that were used to do the predictions for Covid-19…those were also crap programs with crappy programming done in a crappy way that were fed crappy data and therefore gave us crappy predictions….

The models, as we all know, were terribly off. They overestimated the number of deaths by a factor of more than 60. Yep, they estimated (here is the US) more than 6 MILLION deaths due to Covid-19 by now. We have had less than (as of 5/17/2020) 90 thousand. Pretty  big difference, Huge error factor.

Ferguson and Imperial College’s refusal of all requests to examine taxpayer-funded code that supported one of the most significant peacetime decisions in British history is entirely contrary to the principles of open science—especially in the Internet age. The Web has created an unprecedented scientific commons, a marketplace of ideas in which Ferguson’s arguments sound only a little better than “the dog ate my homework.” Worst of all, however, Ferguson and Imperial College, through both their work and their haughtiness about it, have put the public at risk. Epidemiological modelling is a valuable tool for public health, and Covid-19 underscores the value of such models in decision-making. But the Imperial College model implementation lends credence to the worst fears of modelling skeptics—namely, that many models are no better than high-stakes gambles played on computers. This isn’t true: well-executed models can contribute to the objective, data-driven decision-making that we should expect from our leaders in a crisis. But leaders need to learn how to vet models and data.

One has to wonder if Ferguson, who has been caught not following the basic rules he suggested to prevent person to person contact (especially not being able to stay away from his mistress) has invested in the fall of the world’s economy ….perhaps in futures markets or other financial vehicles because of his protective measures implemented because of his faulty predictions based on his crappy programming…that he knew was greatly overestimating the impact of Covid-19.

We do know that his behavior is shady since the lockdowns began in response to his predictions.

I smell something.

(An Excerpt)

Through eight years, I accepted the rules of the game. Obama was president. He won fair and square because the Republicans serially put up two milquetoast opponents who were incapable of offering a vision or articulating a message that inspired.

I accepted Obama. I never articulated his first name, and I never called him “president,” but I accepted the results and accepted that this Pretender was our country’s lawfully elected chief executive.

Worth your time.

they will have 50,000 ventilators in the next 100 days.

Which is a great thing, except for the fact that we haven’t yet needed all the ventilators we already have.


The reason to make more is…….why? (perhaps just to show off?….part of a propaganda media campaign for “We are all in this together”?)

And if one can bring workers together to make ventilators, then why cant those same workers, properly masked and separated safely make cars in all those shut down plants?

Of course, it could be that no one is buying cars.

“Cash can carry Covid and other diseases”

So I would expect the new meme to be “Use a BankCard or your Phone” in order to reduce the use of (untraceable) cash.

The IRS and other taxing agencies will LOVE this, They’ve been trying to get rid of cash for years. I fully expect the new meme to soon emerge that you should not use cash for fear of getting “The Covid”

Having said that, I would expect that your plastic bank card would provide a better surface for germs to live, short term,, but would be easier to disinfect than a banknote.

But since folks have gone apeshit for masks (which don’t work/maybe work/only work for professionals/might work for normal people/are mandatory…) you can expect “cashless” to become the next bit of Social Conditioning.

“This note is legal tender for all debts, public and private” ….will that phrase soon disappear?

If masks work, then why can’t we all return to normal wearing a mask?

If they DON’T work, then why are we encouraged (and in some cases REQUIRED) to wear them?

Which is it?

Or (as I think) is this some kind of Social Conditioning thing?

‘Cause either there is something else going on or the people making the decisions are either drunk, stupid, incompetent or just plain crazy.

Armed protesters (protesting the “Lockdown”).

Some with firearms (carrying guns AT people, as Tam has said)

The media is conflating them with racism, for some reason….somehow. I am sure it is innocent.

CO man dies from astounding 0.55 blood alcohol level, coronavirus listed as cause of death

Wow. I don’t think I could get to a 0.55 level with a funnel.

But hey, death by coronavirus, right?

But those minutes are slipping away anyway, what with the “lockdown” (that isn’t really a lockdown) and the “Social Distancing” that isn’t really…..

But, it isn’t a bad thing to watch, and it makes a lot of points.

Watch:
