Plus, you would have to make sure that people didn't voluntarily lock-down. It would be tough to control, and I don't think Sweden is enough like the US to be a good control.

We have them "reporting" that Svalberg was ice free this winter when the levels, extent and thickness were at record levels. The extent and thickness of the arctic ice sheet are also above normal and they will still publish pictures from 5 or so years ago when the ice was near record levels but unusual winds had blown the ice about a mile offshore making for dramatic pictures of "global warming". I have had a long term subscription to Science News but now that over half of the articles appear to be written by someone who is attempting to score political points I will let it lapse. Even Science no longer reports science. |

Only someone in a financially secure position could ignore the pain and suffering of people whose source of income has been cut off for no reasons whatsoever. Why were schools closed down when children under 12 were unaffected by the virus and there is no record of them transmitting covid-19 to other people? Why were jobs closed down when only 1% of people under 50 contracted the disease and very ew died from it? When these same people have a 100 times more chance of dying in a car wreck? I know that you and the others here are unwilling to believe the actual "excessive deaths" charts from the CDC but that is because you don't have any financial worries.

Give him the benefit of the doubt and call it well intentioned, but his various positions (no mask, maybe mask, mandatory mask etc etc) inspire no confidence. His famous statements "Americans need not worry" , "No worse than the flu" and so on are endlessly repeated and need no further comment from me. And we do indeed have real world real time policy comparisons. Mr DeSantis rigorously and immediately protected old age homes, rehab centers, assisted living facilities and retirement communities ending with a small fraction of NY deaths despite a 2 million larger populace and without utterly destroying income, livelihood, savings and hope of working citizens and small business owners.

Dr Fauci has been director of the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases) since 1984. He does NOT work for the CDC. NIAID is part of the NIH (National Institute of Health). He's has been involved with controlling several previous epidemics, which I presume qualifies as experience: https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/anthony-s-fauci-md-bio https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/director https://www.niaid.nih.gov/about/niaid-history Can you provide the name of someone in the US who is better qualified to discuss pandemics than Dr Fauci? There is a place for those who sit around, think and read papers. I do not deny Fauci that much. But he is not working in the real world as many other epidemiologists are and they often interview them on FOX and they ALL say what I've been saying. There isn't much you can do about a pandemic with a linear growth rate. I see. You want to be advised on how to protect yourself from a viral epidemic by an epidemiologist via Fox News. I don't think that's what you intended to say, but that's what you wrote. You also seem to have changed your position on Dr Fauci from: "Dr. Fauci of the CDC(sic) who has continually acted an expert at things he knows very little about." to: "I do not deny Fauci that much." That's quite a change from calling the leading expert on infectious diseases in the US an incompetent, to not denying him something you didn't bother to specify. Of course, you're entitled to have an opinion about anyone and anything, but I'm also entitled to discount your opinion as rubbish. Anyway, kindly stabilize your opinion about Dr Fauci. If it's critical, please provide the name of someone in the US that is equally or more qualified to advise on how to handle a pandemic. Incidentally, I could probably provide some names in China that are substantially more qualified and equally experienced, but such experts would not be considered as candidates for advising our president, who knows more than any or all of them, Here's one candidate that might have qualified had he not resigned for having is bureau eliminated by the Trump administration: "A top pandemic expert is leaving the Trump administration amid the coronavirus crisis" https://www.businessinsider.com/top-pandemic-expert-leaving-the-trump-administration-amid-coronavirus-2020-5 No bicycle related content this time.

Jeff, that is about the most foolish thing that you could say. Fauci is NOT an expert. Sitting around in hallowed halls of government does NOT make you an expert. The epidemiologists in the field say the opposite and that you like some sort of moron deny that they know anything for the simple reason that they are interviewed on FOX shows that you are nothing more than some stupid biased punk. Your homework, Tom: !) Find or assemble a CV for Dr. Anthony Fauci. I say that because you obviously know very, very little about him. 2) Find or assemble a CV for the guy you allude to whom Faux News managed to dig up. Analyze and compare those to prove to us that your guy with his predictable complaints is more qualified than Fauci. We'll even give bonus points for a little more work: 3) Give us your own CV. Show us why we should listen to your opinions on epidemiology... and history, genetics, theology, ballistics, human anatomy, politics, engineering, medicine, sociology, geology, meteorology, technology, etc. You know - all the other things about which you, as a high school dropout, claim to be much smarter than hundreds of trained, experienced, and recognized experts. Further to my last reply, I am not an expert. I do not work in relevant fields nor read much beyond general coverage and Science News. However, confidence in CDC (and most Governors) is lacking out here among the population of punished innocents: https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horow...e-is-the-media I understand that government employees relaxing at home with full pay and retirees have a much less urgent interest than people running out of resources right now. Very unfortunately Science News has turned into a garbage pit of political correctness that spouts pages of absolute crap that is entirely in disagreement with things such as the National Meteorological Department, The animal census and virtually everything. We have them "reporting" that Svalberg was ice free this winter when the levels, extent and thickness were at record levels. The extent and thickness of the arctic ice sheet are also above normal and they will still publish pictures from 5 or so years ago when the ice was near record levels but unusual winds had blown the ice about a mile offshore making for dramatic pictures of "global warming". I have had a long term subscription to Science News but now that over half of the articles appear to be written by someone who is attempting to score political points I will let it lapse. Even Science no longer reports science. You're right but what else is there for the general reader? NYT Tuesday is worse. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

That's the view of a person with zero qualifications, despite strong disagreement from qualified experts in every country worldwide. It is not heartless to observe that there is no correlation between punishment and mortality rates. There are definitely fatal policy errors (and Mr Cuomo made more than a few of them. He's not alone.) but destroying lives, income, businesses, wealth, opportunity and hope has not meant less death, just more suffering among the living. -- Andrew Muzi www.yellowjersey.org/ Open every day since 1 April, 1971 |

I updated my photo album software from Jalbum 20.0 to the latest 20.1. I also added the above photo. The new and improved release did some odd things and took far too long to coplete the upload. The next morning, I discovered that all the photos on my web pile were gone. I have backups, but until I put the mess back together, no photos.
