George Noory Sucks! - The Definitive Compendium

[Dr. MD MD]

I'm not sure where you saw any of that above, but okay.

Perhaps it’s your unquestioning willingness to go along with whatever the officials tell you. That and the fact that you and others seems to be getting into this now. It’s insane.

You make wild assumptions.

[Kidnostad3]

I don't know that, I'm under the assumption that it won't happen. Even the NFL hasn't released a schedule for the new season ... that means "shit just got real".  I heard a whisper today that the NFL planned to give everyone and fans, some tests before they enter the arena as well as a new protocol in order.

It comes down to hotels and those who put on these conferences in the end. Let's hope they all have deep pockets because all of that must be exponentially expensive.

Good luck with the pre game testing of 150,000 deprived football fans, many of whom will be fresh from a tailgate party.  Sounds like a recipe for mayhem to me.  And think what would happen if they tried doing that before "football" games in the U.K.  Nutso Brit fans would burn the stadium down and eat the officials.  Hey, it's happened before.

Yeah, let’s all voluntarily march toward another great depression like lemmings over something on par with the seasonal flu. : :

So, you pretty much follow the Fox News party line eh? Hannity would be dead chuffed if he knew he had a disciple on Bellgab.

As for me, I go by my local teaching hospital, I see a huge parking lot turned into a field hospital annex, and I think to myself "This is more than flu." I look at the rates of increase and I think "This is more than flu." I see on TV how overworked and underequipped hospital doctors & nurses are, and I think "This is MUCH more than flu."

No, try for one moment to take off your partisan hat and look at this objectively. Numbers not anecdotes, chief! :

Most hospitals are operating at about 25% of their usual capacity because of this nonsense. : :

Open air treatments seemed to be the most effective method of dealing with the Spanish Flu.

Mortality flu: 1%

[Dr. MD MD]

COVID-19: 7%

You know better than that. First, which flu? I think you’re really reaching here.

We’ll review this in a couple weeks. I’ll expect a complete retraction on your part then. :

[albrecht]

Mortality flu: 1%
COVID-19: 7%

Which flu? Which strain and what year? And what time-frame? Which COVID-19 and what time-frame? And any comorbidity stats in those numbers?

But back to subject of C2C. Even though the governor is planning a limited 'back to business' roll-out soon I don't think Norry's Houston invasion is going to happen. And I can't imagine a worse population to get together in a group for a risk. Cat ladies, seniors with health problems, people ODing on Toomeric, shut-ins who never venture out except for the "Big Event," touching, hugging, belting out show-tunes without a mask.....

Between 50 and 85 times as many people in Santa Clara County have coronavirus antibodies as have tested positive for the virus
https://www.livescience.com/coronavirus-antibodies-widespread-in-santa-clara.html

The Santa Clara team estimated an IFR for the county of 0.1â€"0.2%, which would equate to about 100 deaths in 48,000-82,000 infections. As of 10 April, the county's official death count was 50 people. The study's IFR is lower than the IFR used in models by researchers at Imperial College London, which estimated an IFR for Great Britain on the basis of data from China to be 0.9%. In another study, the same group estimated an IFR for China of 0.66%, and a study of deaths on the Diamond Princess cruise ship estimated an IFR of 0.5%.

Why does India have so few Covid-19 cases and deaths?

India is four times more populous than the US, but has just 2% the number of cases and only 1.5% of the number of Covid-19 deaths. How has the country, whose per capita income is just tenth of the US, avoided being flattened by the pandemic?

Wild parrots flock around Iolani Palace.  They whiz through the air or perch high in the trees.  They aren't worm diggers.  They aren't pigeons.  They never land on the ground or beg for food.  Last week I found two of them standing listlessly on the ground, about thirty feet apart, just outside separate gates.  I was able to walk right up to them.  This is highly unusual behavior for them.  I've never seen them down on the ground, before.

The palace guard ignored my calls.  I went across the street to Queen's Hospital and stood at the makeshift emergency entrance.  Nobody was there, and no one came to my attention.  There were two ladies sitting about thirty feet away at the entrance to the hospital.  They ignored me.  Finally, I ignored the 'wait here' sign, and approached them.  Upon informing them about the parrots, they said that they didn't have any vets.  I asked them to please call the State immunologist, as I don't have a cell phone, and all the pay phones have been disabled.  They refused. 

A security guard showed up and told me to bring the birds to the hospital.  How retarded do you have to be to become a security guard?

I left and went over to City Hall, where another security guard was a good man, who had the wherewithal to call a State deputy who has jurisdiction at the Capital adjacent to the Palace.  I showed him one of the birds, and he called the Health Department, who came and got the bird for testing.

The other bird was gone.  Somebody must have grabbed it and taken it home.

No public word about the test results.

And Noory as an asymptomatic carrier.  Tommee may be in the same virus-shedding boat as Jorch, since Danheiser/Wagner Entertainment sleazes along.  Otherwise, if you believe the obese are prime victims for Corona Chan, Tommee should have been toast, weeks ago.  Especially, since "Tommee knows LA 'cause he was born there."

Commissioners may soon pull the plug on Harris County’s pop-up hospital at NRG Park

HOUSTON â€" Channel 2 Investigates has learned Harris County Commissioners could pull the plug on the temporary medical shelter at NRG Park as early as next week.

The facility, with a potential price tag of $60 million, was designed by Garner Environmental Services, a Deer Park company, to help with a surge of coronavirus patients at the Texas Medical Center. But that surge never materialized and the facility sits empty right now.

Construction on the temporary medical shelter began just over two weeks ago and was finished in a matter of days. It features 250 beds and is equipped to handle an influx of COVID-19 patients.

“We don’t want to be caught flat-footed," said Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo at the time. "We are working to stay ahead of this.”

The county’s contract
Channel 2 Investigated obtained the full contract between the county and Garner Environmental Services.

Among some of the items in it, we found highly compensated personnel ranging from:

Various safety officers receiving day rates of $2,875, $2,300 and $2,012
A finance section chief at $2,875 a day
Two public information officers at $2012 a day, even though the contract states “contact with the news media, citizens of Harris County or governmental agencies shall be the responsibility of the county.”
“Obviously, the county has a lot of public information officers that could be given this task," says Ed Emmett, former Harris County Judge and current KPRC 2 Political Analyst. “It’s a lot of money, $60 million, does that make sense,” asked Emmett after we showed him the contract.

Mortality flu: 1%
COVID-19: 7%

The numbers thrown about for flu statistics are always just estimates. Some people get tested for the flu but most do not.  It is never for confirmed cases of the flu.  The numbers being used for COVID always use confirmed cases. Once this is better understood as far as asymptomatic cases, probably through random antibody testing and extrapolation, Kung Flu numbers will be less than 1%.  You are only seeing a death rate against confirmed cases.

Instead of the Rodeo or Opening Day we get 'pop up hospitals' with no patients but lots of tax-payer money being spent?

Maybe Norry was trying to angle a way  in his Invasion to become a HTown 'public information officer' at $2012 A DAY? WTF kind of speaker does one have to be to be paid for 'public information?' Seriously WTF? Ok, "private information," like for insider-trading, worthless gypsy fortune-telling, or some sex talk line I can see raking in that much from dupes, criminals, or perverts but for "public information?"

..and you think that is somehow not also true of COVID?

I tell you thisâ€"if I got symptoms I wouldn't present myself at the gates of medical hell. I'd take my chances at home with my family. Then of course, if I recovered (which is statistically likely) I wouldn't be a  statistic, would i?

Then this would support that the mortality rate is much lower than the 7% you posted.

My point being that ALL numbers being used for COVID are based on positive test results. Well except for maybe the 3000 deaths NYC added in without test results.  That’s how you came up with a statistically correct, yet meaningless statistic. 

[expat]

Yes it would, but I'll also tell you this: I've had flu about 10 times and NOT ONCE have I presented myself to be counted.

[Dr. MD MD]

Sounds like you don’t trust the health care system.

[GravitySucks]

Thank you for continuing to make my point.  Numbers for the flu are a mathematical model.  Numbers for COVID are actuals based on very limited testing.
