… Bruce Charlton's Notions: How dangerous are ravens? (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

We are So Extremely Far Away - a thousand fold? - from anything significant in terms of global deaths over this many weeks, that the international health crisis is revealed as fake. However, a fake crisis is better - from an Establishment perspective - than a real one; as it can be controlled. Indeed, from the mass media attitude; the decision to make the most of Corvid-19 seems only to have been made in the past couple of weeks, when it became clear that it was not a major global danger.

  1. A so-called fake crisis nonetheless reveals the shortcomings of a fake president.

  2. If you say so, but I seem to recall that he won the election — against a perfectly awful candidate — according to rules in place since 1789. And what that has to do with science of the matter escapes me. According to the CDC, between October 1, 2019 and February 29, 2020, between 22,000 – 55,000 people died in the country from the flu. Not too precise an estimate, admittedly, but let's see how the Wuhan virus shapes up in the end. Of, I guess I shouldn't have called it that. But I'm an old guy. I still make reference to the Spanish Flu.
