Stats as of 11:59pm EST March 17th from World Health Organization


Just some stats to put things in perspective.........




184,976 confirmed cases

159 countries, areas or territories with cases

7,529 deaths



Current Population of Planet Earth = 7.77 Billion




And let's say things get really bad, like a 20 times worse, ok screw it like 50 times worse. That would mean about 376,000 dead. Which would still be a minuscule number of deaths worldwide. Yes 376,000 dead is a big number, but when you compare it with a population of 7.77 billion, the number is tiny.
Even if things got 100x worse then they are now, guess what, that number would still be low.

Again, currently 7,529 deaths worldwide, it would sure suck if you were one of them, but on a World Population scale that number is nothing.


Note: Almost all that have died were already unhealthy, and most were elderly.

27.8 million worldwide since the virus began. And these are only those who turned to the doctor. Not everyone has symptoms. I'm shocked.:shrug: Does nature want to get rid of us? I think yes....
It is very sad. Guys! There are people among you who do not believe in this virus and believe that it is a common flu. Has the government done everything to destroy the economies of other countries? I've heard of this. I want to know your opinion...

Kansas City area for who knows how long....
The variant from England has been shown to be sensitive to vaccines, but no data yet on the variant from South Africa vs vaccines .....We do have some data of variant #B1351 (aka 501Y.V2) from SA vs natural immunity, and it is not good - half the folks got no protection at all. Vacccines might provide stronger protection than natural, but we don?t know, and if is stronger, doubtful be a huge difference...

Moderna reports mostly good news....their vaccine fine vs UK variant, and ok (6x less effective, still mostly works) vs South African variant, and they are working on a 3rd booster shot to enhance that.....and Worth pointing out that vaccine development is such that you can re-jigger the vaccine as fast as (fairly slow-paced) Covid mutates... https://investors.modernatx.com/new...accine-retains-neutralizing-activity-against/

Back to pre-Thanksgiving levels....which is still tho 2x hospitalization rate of last 2 peaks...and if this UK variant gets widespread in 3 weeks or so, as feared, there will be a new surge...

Israel already seeing way less old folks in ICU and the morgue...US both doing good for a big country, but could also be much better...

WVA is the only state to opt out of CDC program to use Walgreens and CVS to administer vaccine as they have few of these chains in many rural areas, many more independent pharmacies. WVA also using their Natl Guard for some of the logistics.

Current hospital job has gone from 4 covid floors to two with plans to go down to one the next month. Maybe a return to normalcy soon?
