CV World Cases: The CV pandemic across the
planet continues with 193,540 new cases (a .55% increase
compared to a 1.45% increase yesterday) to bring the total over 34 million
to 35,241,014, 7,981,762 of which are active, 27,259,252
of which have been closed with 26,219,809 recoveries (96.19% compared
to yesterday’s 96.18%) and 1,039,443 deaths (3.81% compared to
yesterday’s 3.82%) to continue the trend of increased recovery percentages and
decreased mortality percentages.
CV
USA Cases: New cases of 26,259 with total cases over 7 million at 7,613,291 (a
.35% increase compared to yesterday’s 1.16% increase) with 2,567,900
active cases of which 14,185, on a downward trend with slight blips from a high
of 19,155 on July 23 (14,117 yesterday and 15,881 on September 1),
are in serious or critical condition as trend continues to go down, and 5,045,391
closures, 214,362 of which have been deaths (4.25% compared to yesterday’s
4.26%) and 4,831,029 of which have been recoveries (95.75% compared
to yesterday’s 95.74%) (our death rate percentages continue to improve and are
finally in single digits since Cuomo repealed on May 10 his order sending
CV positive patients to nursing homes and ADL facilities and on a deaths per
million population measurement at 647 ranks behind Peru (987), Belgium (866),
Bolivia (689), Spain (686), Brazil (686), Chile (677), and Ecuador (655), and
only slightly worse than UK (623), Mexico (610, Italy (595), and Sweden (583)
that never closed its economy down like we did and we have now conducted 110,822,022
tests (now at 334,300/M compared to Russia at 326,712/M so Trump is telling
truth that we conduct more tests in number and on a per capital basis for
nations (but excluding nations with small populations like Denmark, Israel and Singapore) but for the U.K. at 368,477/M).
Non CV Case
News: The good news is that after being moved to Walter Reed in an abundance of caution, President Trump
is doing well, fever free for the last 24 hours and on a Redesivir regime,
moving around in the ward without help or oxygen and may be released tomorrow
pending status; Governor DeWine of Ohio, who had the roller coaster ride of a
positive antigen rapid test that prevented him from greeting the president,
followed by lab test that was negative, has declared this Sunday a Day of Prayer for a speedy
recovery of President Trump and the
First Lady; former presidential candidate Amy Klobuchar and bypassed VP
candidate because she is white sounded the red herring CV alarm to demand delay
in the confirmation hearings for Amy Coney Barrett (another hypocrite who
ignores the fact that viral hearings in Congress have be the order of the day
for months); SNL that used to be funny and now with its political satire and
now known as Sick Negative Losers mocked President Trump’s CV illness, thinking
it was funny and wishing him a lengthy recovery (what a disgrace and lack of
compassion and decency); Schumer the Hypocrite in Chief for Blues is wailing
Barrett hearings will not be safe and must believe in numerous viral hearings
Congress has held that the CV travels on internet (totally cheapens his real
argument to delay and looks like an idiot); CV and the Reptilian Brain have
teamed up to make North Carolina Senate Race a chaos with married Blue
candidate Cunningham in sexting scandal and Red incumbent Tillis testing
positive for CV (hope voters believe deviation is incurable but the CV is); the
next debate is a Town Hall format and the Biden Campaign certainly sounds like
he will be and hoping Trump is there also, CV infection not withstanding; De
Blasio is now going to shut down 100 public schools and 200 private ones in NYC
and shut down all essential businesses in 9 zip code areas primarily Brooklyn
and Queens which should be a devastating blow to a city that already looks like
a ghost town;
Chicago/Baltimore Gun Violence: In Chicago as of September 30, 2020, the
number of shootings increased to 3,251 of whom 556 have died (total
travesty of BLM when blacks are shot and killed by blacks in droves and only
sounds of silence and complete absence of any protests in front of City Hall
demanding action to curb the killings and shootings); Baltimore with a fraction
of Chicago’s population and hoping against all hopes that 2020 will not be a
record in terms of deaths but now seems to be shooting less and killing less
and is now 305 behind Chicago at 251 murders (when will Chicago and Baltimore
get serious about this carnage or is this the case of true racism as a Blue run
city turns a deaf ear and a blind eye to the slaughter of people of color by
people of color and when will the left focus on the problem of color on color
shootings in Blue run cities which have been way more deadly and way
more numerous than shootings by police
or by random mass shootings which occur much less.
As always, I hope you enjoy today’s holidays and
observances, factoids of interest for this day in history, a musical
link to “Kiss You All Over” by Exile, the fact that the Blues are
not yet have plenipotence nationally but disgusted they are in California
and a quote by Chris Hedges on WikiLeaks and Julian Assange, secure in the
knowledge that if you want to ind a gift for any memorable events like Father’s
Day, college graduations, birthdays, weddings, or anniversaries, you know

1. World
Animal Day—created cynologist Heinrich Zimmerman and first

American band that started out as a rock band but morphed into a country rock
and with different members other than Sam Pennington and is still performing
today.
4. Word
of the Day—today’s word of the day is “plenipotence” which
means absolute power which sadly the Blues have in California and are trying
very hard to obtain the same control nationally.
5. Easy
to Get a DUI in a Boat—celebrating the birth on this day in 1965 of
Steve Olin a 4 year submarine relief pitcher for the Cleveland Indians but who
had the misfortune on March 23, 1993 of being a passenger in a boat piloted by
teammate Tim Crews who was legally drunk and ran into a pier on Little Nellie
Lake in Florida during spring training, killing Crews and Olin at age 27 and
injuring teammate Bob Ojeda.
On this day in:
a. 1777 American troops under George
Washington were defeated by British troops under William Howe in the Battle of
Germantown, Pennsylvania which followed a prior defeat at the Battle of

b. 1883 the
first run of the Orient Express from
Paris to Constantinople began.
c. 1927 Gutzon Borglum began his sculpturing
of Mt. Rushmore.
d. 1991 the Protocol for Environmental
Protection of the Antarctic was opened for signature and has now been ratified
by 34 countries.
e. 2006
to the bane of governments everywhere WikiLeaks was launched.
Quotes on WikiLeaks and
Julian Assange: ”WikiLeaks and Assange have done more to expose the dark
machinations and crimes of the American Empire than any other news
organization. Assange, in addition to exposing atrocities and crimes committed
by the United States military in our endless wars and revealing the inner
workings of the Clinton campaign, made public the hacking tools used by the CIA
and the National Security Agency, their surveillance programs and their
interference in foreign elections...And WikiLeaks worked swiftly to save Edward
Snowden, who exposed the wholesale surveillance of the American public by the
government, from extradition to the United States by helping him flee from Hong
Kong to Moscow.” Chris Hedges Pulitzer Prize winning American journalist
