Oregon’s Pointless COVID-19 Lockdown
Posted on | April 10, 2020 | 3 Comments
Wednesday, Oregon’s Democratic Gov. Kate Brown announced that the state’s public schools would not re-open this school year, and also extended “indefinitely” an order closing restaurants and bars. That order, issued last month, had been scheduled to end April 15.
A simple question: Why?
Oregon’s schools must be doing a lousy job of teaching arithmetic, to say nothing of basic science. According to CNN, Oregon (population 4.1 million) has had a total of 1,321 reported cases of COVID-19, with 44 deaths. That’s 31 cases per 100,000 population, a known infection rate 96% lower than the rate in New York. Your chances of dying of coronavirus in Oregon are slightly above one-in-a-million, and the vast majority of the cases are in a few cities, but the entire state remains under a stay-at-home order with no end in sight. The question remains: Why?
Jeff Stidham called my attention to a blog that is asking this question, and explains that Oregon is planning on a “surge” of COVID-19 cases, an expectation based on model projections which simply do not reflect the reality of the state’s coronavirus outbreak:
[T]he reason so many Governors locked down their states is because they were presented with data by the IHME that showed extreme death levels if lockdowns didn’t happen. Frankly, if I’d been presented with the IHME’s data I probably would have locked down Oregon, too. Here’s the problem: their data has proven to be disastrously wrong, and has overestimated death and hospitalization rates by 5-10x, which means they have been off by roughly 500-1,000%, which basically means their data has been useless. . . .
[A]ny peak for COVID-19 has not only ALREADY HAPPENED, but it was actually happening before Governor Brown’s lockdown order of March 23rd. Moreover, even if you accept the highly faulty model that Governor Brown is using that has never been right, even on our worst day it shows that our hospitals will barely be stretched with a forecast usage of 8.6% of current capacity.
The local press in Oregon is still relying on these projections, publishing headlines like “Oregon prepares for coronavirus surge,” despite the fact — clearly apparent from data published by Oregon’s health department — that the state’s “surge” in cases is already over.
Think about this: It takes a certain number of days between the time someone becomes infected with COVID-19 and the time they experience symptoms (if they ever do exhibit symptoms, since many cases seem to be asymptomatic). The reason for all the crisis messaging in March was that it was projected that a “surge” in cases would overwhelm the hospital system. Patients who experience only mild symptoms — they experience flu-like symptoms for a few days, then recover — and never require hospitalization are irrelevant to the public-health concerns about a possible shortage of hospital beds, ventilators, medical personnel, etc. Therefore, the important statistic to study is not the cumulative total of known COVID-ID cases, but rather the number of hospitalized patients.
The time delay between a person contracting the virus and being hospitalized is one factor to keep in mind when examining trends in the pandemic. Another factor is the time-lag between onset of symptoms and death, in those cases that prove to be fatal. In Italy, for example, their number of new cases peaked about six days before the daily number of deaths. The most recent Oregon coronavirus deaths:
Oregon’s 39th COVID-19 death is a 74-year-old man in Linn County, who tested positive on March 22 and died on April 3 at his residence. He had underlying medical conditions.
Oregon’s 40th COVID-19 death is a 97-year-old man in Linn County, who tested positive on March 15 and died on April 4 at his residence. He had underlying medical conditions.
Oregon’s 41st COVID-19 death is an 87-year-old woman in Multnomah County, who tested positive on March 28 and died on April 6 at her residence. She had underlying medical conditions.
Oregon’s 42nd COVID-19 death is a 41-year-old woman in Multnomah County, who tested positive on April 5 and died on April 8 at Oregon Health and Sciences University. She had underlying medical conditions.
Oregon’s 43rd COVID-19 death is a 66-year-old man in Multnomah County, who tested positive on March 31 and died on April 5 at his residence. He had underlying medical conditions.
Oregon’s 44th COVID-19 death is a 74-year-old man in Benton County, who tested positive on March 26 and died on April 8 at Good Samaritan Regional Medical Center in Corvallis. He had underlying medical conditions.
So, these six patients tested positive between March 15 and April 5, and died between April 3 and April 8. The time between positive and death ranged from three days (patient #42) to 21 days (patient #40). All but one of these six deaths involved patients who had tested positive in March. And the number of new cases has been decreasing since the third week in March. Given that Oregon’s current case numbers are far from placing any strain on the state’s hospital capacity, that the known infection rate in Oregon is barely 3 in 10,000 residents, and that the state’s death rate of known cases is 3.3%, why is the entire state still locked down? Because the governor is a Democrat?

IMHE Lowers COVID-19 U.S. Death Projection Again, Now Down to 60,000
Posted on | April 9, 2020 | Comments Off on IMHE Lowers COVID-19 U.S. Death Projection Again, Now Down to 60,000
While MSNBC hosts were busy spreading conspiracy theories, the doomsday forecasters were revising their numbers again:
The Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation (IHME) model cited by the White House Coronavirus Task Force lowered its projections for coronavirus deaths in the U.S. by 25 percent from 81,766 to 60,415 early Wednesday morning.
The IHME model has come under withering criticism for vastly overstating projections of regular and ICU hospital beds needed, but its death projections to date have closely tracked with actual data.
Wednesday’s dramatic reverse in the model’s projection of U.S. deaths was made without a press release from IHME explaining the reasons for the reduction. It marks the second reduction in the model’s U.S. deaths projections since April 1, when it forecast 93,765 U.S. fatalities.
On April 5, the death projections were lowered to 81,766. . . .
The April 8 iteration of the IHME model has reduced the projections of coronavirus deaths in New York State to 13,307, down from the April 6 projection of more than 15,000.
It persists, however, in claiming there will be a shortage of regular hospital beds in New York State on the peak day of Wednesday April 8, despite Gov. Andrew Cuomo’s statement at Tuesday’s press conference the state has “more than enough beds available.”
So, in one week, the forecast has been reduced more than 30% and the IHME’s scary predictions of a crisis caused by a shortage of hospital beds has been proven false. Now, we have Chris Hayes suggesting to his Twitter audience of 2 million followers that somehow the IHME — an institute funded by Bill Gates, who handpicked a Harvard professor (Chris Murray) to lead it — was in cahoots with the Trump administration. Alex Jones is banned from Twitter for promoting “conspiracy theories,” but paranoia is OK when MSNBC hosts do it.
Also, it is important to note that “social distancing” cannot explain the failures of the IHME model projections, as Sean Davis points out:
“The IHME models assumed ‘full social distancing,’ including school closures, business shutdowns, and stay-at-home lockdowns from the beginning. It requires abject stupidity or outright dishonesty to claim ‘social distancing’ caused the model revisions.”
Nobody likes to admit they were wrong, but when you are as wrong as badly as Chris Hayes was wrong — and as I’ve pointed out, he was speaking in terms of “millions of lives” just three weeks ago — it’s sociopathic to double-down and blame others for your own errors.
UPDATE: Great minds think alike and, while I was writing this post, Ace of Spades was about a half-hour ahead of me:
One month ago, Chris Hayes accused Trump of “personally pressuring” health officials to “manipulate the numbers downwards.” . . .
Now he says Trump has manipulated the numbers upward.
So which is it, Chris? It can’t be both.
The media and the social media monopolists conspire to control the public discourse by deplatforming and censoring anyone who utters a “conspiracy theory,” the true definition of which is any speculation that the leftwing corporate media disapproves of.
Boris Survives, Bernie Quits

There’s encouraging news across the pond:
U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson spent a third night in intensive care in a London hospital having been admitted for persistent coronavirus symptoms, although his condition is said to be improving.
Culture Minister Oliver Dowden is the latest U.K. lawmaker to comment on Johnson’s condition, telling the BBC Thursday morning that the prime minister is “stable, improving, sat up and engaged with medical staff,” adding, “I think things are getting better for him.”
Johnson is receiving “excellent care” at St. Thomas’ Hospital in London where he is being treated, Finance Minister Rishi Sunak said at the government’s daily press briefing Wednesday afternoon. . . .
Johnson, 55, was moved to the intensive care unit at London’s St. Thomas’ Hospital on Monday evening after his coronavirus symptoms worsened.
The news is not so encouraging for the Bernie Bros:
Sen. Bernie Sanders ended his presidential campaign, he announced Wednesday, leaving former Vice President Joe Biden as the apparent Democratic presidential nominee.
“I have concluded that this battle for the Democratic nomination will not be successful, and so today I am announcing the suspension of my campaign,” Sanders told supporters in a livestream, saying he wished he could provide supporters with “better news” but “I think you know the truth.”
“We are now some 300 delegates behind Vice President Biden and the path to victory is virtually impossible,” he said. Sanders, I-Vt., called Biden “a very decent man who I will work with to move our progressive ideas forward.”
Calling the decision “difficult and painful,” Sanders said he had to make an “honest assessment of the prospects for victory.”
He added that he understands some supporters want him to fight on through the convention, but he could not “in good conscience continue to mount a campaign that cannot win and would interfere with the important work required of all of us in this difficult hour” as the COVID-19 outbreak grips the nation.
He pledged to have significant influence over the party platform this summer, as he did during the 2016 convention.
My college-senior son is a Bernie Bro — don’t ask, it’s a painful subject — and he greeted the news of Bernie’s withdrawal by blasting the Soviet national anthem on his stereo, followed by “The Internationale.”
He’s an ironic socialist, I guess. And this is doom for the Democrats.
He. Can't. Even. Talk. https://t.co/dqay7w7T8C

Wanted for Murder: Ace of Spades
Posted on | April 8, 2020 | 1 Comment
Ace has been killing it lately. He’s a homicidal maniac, with his jab at “Hot Air’s Resident Expert on All Matters Which Could Negatively Affect Trump’s Reelection Chances” — Allahpundit, obviously.
If you’re late to the blogosphere, there’s history between these two, going back to when Allah was a stand-alone blogger and quit, only to be resurrected by Michelle Malkin as lead blogger at Hot Air. This was in Dubya’s second term, when the right-side blogosphere was riding high after the glorious triumph of RatherGate and the relentless “Swift Boat” fisking of John F. Kerry’s military record. There was no Twitter back then, and Facebook was in its infancy, so the blogosphere going “corporate” was a big deal. There was kind of an informal network of bloggers — everything was about “blogrolls” back in the day — but the idea of “citizen journalism” was in its infancy, and the idea of blogging as a full-time job? Wow, that was a Great Leap Forward circa 2006.
Ace and Allah were both OG bloggers, back in the immediate aftermath of 9/11, during the Iraq War fury when Islamic jihad was the enemy that united conservatives, and when domestic social and economic issues were riding in the back of the bus. After the Occupation of Mesopotamia went sideways, and Barack Obama emerged as the Democratic nominee in 2008, there was a period of . . . Well, demoralization might not be the exact word, but the mood on the Right became rather gloomy, and the OG blogosphere reflected that. And then Obama was elected, and in early 2009, the Tea Party movement emerged as the rallying point of the Right. That was around the time when everybody discovered this new doodad called “Twitter,” which was a freewheeling Wild West back in the day, before the SJW Thought Police took over. But I digress . . .
Ace and Allah have been online acquaintances more than 15 years, and Ace used to link and quote Allah a lot. However, somewhere in the trajectory from Tea Party populism circa 2009 to Trump-style populism now, Ace has apparently lost all respect for Allah, who is basically #NeverTrump, over there in the Charlie “Three Wives” Sykes/David French/Bill Kristol cul-de-sac — the pathetic Bulwark “ahoy” crew.
It makes me sad, really. The one thing you never want to do, as a conservative media personality, is to become a punching bag for Ace, because when he starts punching, it’s like Rocky Balboa working over a side of beef in the freezer. He’s breaking ribs over there. It’s brutal.
Anyway, here’s Ace on Democrat plans for a “stimulus” for the media:
We’ll either voluntarily watch their propaganda, or we’ll be forced at government gunpoint to make charitable contributions to them?
Fuck these people, and fuck anyone who votes for this.
Here’s my plan for the media:
LEARN
TO
CODE . . .
If the Republicans fold on this, I’m officially done with the party and can be classified as hostile enemy forces.
My advice to Republicans: Don’t test him.
Nothing is more ferocious than an angry ewok.

Mike Rowe: “We’re told to fall in line, trust the experts, and wait patiently for the all clear. Okay, fine. But for how long? What are the criteria for turning the country back on?” Many conservatives have become gun-shy about the COVID-19 outbreak. They don’t want to seem dismissive of the threat, or to undermine the message about the importance of “social distancing,” and I get that, completely. We must consider the influence of our words, but at the same time, I am beginning to hear, in the “social distancing” amen chorus, a creepy tone that reminds me of the rah-rah cheerleading for the Iraq War. Meanwhile, in Pennsylvania:
A York County woman this week was the first person in Pennsylvania to be cited for violating Gov. Tom Wolf’s stay-at-home order, according to state police.
The 19-year-old woman was given a nontraffic citation for allegedly “going for a drive,” according to the citation obtained by Pennlive.
State police spokesman Ryan Tarkowski said Friday the woman initially was pulled over because of a vehicle code violation. Warnings have been issued by troopers in Troop A, which includes Westmoreland County, and Troop E in the Erie area, he said.
Troopers can use their discretion to decide if a citation is warranted, but they have been encouraged to use contacts with the public as a way to promote voluntary compliance, Tarkowski said.
She was alone in her car, but if this “going for a drive” business gets out of hand, people might start “going for a walk,” and next thing you know, they might peaceably assemble and petition the government for a redress of grievances, or something. The state police can’t allow that.
Remember my Monday column at The American Spectator about how the IHME (“Murray model”) projections were absurdly wrong? That got a lot of attention, including a link from Real Clear Politics, a substantial quote-out by Instapundit, and tweets by Megyn Kelly and Rush Limbaugh’s legendary producer James Golden a/k/a “Bo Snerdley.”
Of course, I was not alone in noticing the failure of the IHME projections (see Derek Hunter’s Sunday column at Townhall, for example), and it would be wrong to think I had any exceptional influence, but watching Tucker Carlson’s opening monologue Tuesday . . .
Fox News host Tucker Carlson pointed out that, even with the coronavirus infection and death toll “receding,” it’s still “taboo” in many circles to discuss getting things back to normal in the United States.
Beginning a lengthy monologue on Tuesday night’s edition of “Tucker Carlson Tonight,” the Fox News host discussed how once-dire COVID-19 projections “have been scaled back dramatically” in the wake of far lower numbers than any of the models anticipated, even taking social distancing measures into account.
“Whatever’s happening, this epidemic appears to be doing less damage than anticipated and it is receding more quickly.” . . .
“Now it’s time to look ahead,” Carlson said. “If the virus is doing less systemic damage to our system than expected, then presumably we can begin to consider how to improve the lives of the countless Americans who’ve been grievously hurt by this, by our response to this. How do we get 17 million of our most vulnerable citizens back to work? That’s the task.”
You should watch the whole thing, if you didn’t see it last night.
Perhaps some of you were worried by my lack of blogging Tuesday, and my apologies if anyone feared I’d been laid low by the ChiCom flu, but among other things, I was busy crunching through some interesting statistics about the coronavirus death rate in different countries:
Spain ………………………….. 311 per million
Italy …………………………… 283 per million
Belgium ……………………… 193 per million
France ……………………….. 158 per million
Netherlands ………………… 131 per million
United States ………………… 39 per million
The point should be obvious enough not to require comment. Anyone can look at those statistics and draw their own conclusions, but some in the media don’t want Americans to have an accurate perspective:
Two weeks ago, Dr. Deborah Birx warned against doomsday predictions that millions of Americans might die from coronavirus. At a White House press briefing on March 25, the coordinator of President Trump’s task force condemned media speculation based on claims that as much as half the country’s population might become infected with COVID-19. “I think the numbers that have been put out there are actually very frightening to people,” said Birx, adding that reported rates of infection in China, where the virus originated, were “nowhere close to the numbers that you see people putting out there. I think it has frightened the American people.”
Birx did not name MSNBC personality Chris Hayes, although he was one of the worst scaremongers in the media mob. On his March 23 program, Hayes warned that “millions of lives are on the line” if the economic lockdown response to the virus was not extended indefinitely: “There is no option to just let everyone go back out and go back to normal if a pandemic rages across the country and infects 50 percent of the population and kills a percentage point at the low end of those infected and also melts down all the hospitals.” . . .
