Ridley’s Believe It Or Not May
26, 2021
CV World Cases: The CV pandemic
across the planet continues on a slowing down basis the new year
with cases now over 168 million at 168,869,012 cases (168,336,758
yesterday), 14,884,938 of which are active, 153,984,074 closed with 150,477,731
recoveries (97.72% and 97.71% yesterday, and 3,506,343 deaths (2.28% and 2.28%
yesterday) to continue the slow trend of increased cases with increased
recovery percentages and decreased death percentage with some plateaus, dips,
and rises.
CV USA Cases: Total cases now over 33 million at 33,950,633 (33,929,537
yesterday) with 5,737,897 active cases of which 6,841 (6,848) yesterday and
8,599 on 3/25/2021) (now down to .12% of active cases and now another blip down
to decrease the number of serious or critical cases to increase the reduction
from the 29,271 peak on 12/31/2020 to 22,423), 28,212,736 closed, with 605,307 deaths
(2.15% and 2.15% yesterday) and with 27,607,429 recoveries (97.85% and 97.85%
yesterday). Our death rate percentage continues to slowly improve and after
many months is now .13% lower than the world rate.
Standing: On a deaths per million
population measurement on a steady but slowing climb to 1819 the U.S. ranks behind
Hungary the new number 1 which has had a huge continuing surge in deaths with
the increase barely slowing down and improving slightly to 4.20% of its closed cases have died (3073),
aping Hungary in terms of increase in deaths Bulgaria (2547), Belgium (2138), Brazil (2114) which has been hit with a rapid
rise in deaths and cases and passed us and Italy (Italy (2080), Peru (2051),
Poland (1939) and the UK (1873) which had passed us despite leading world in
testing and now has new deaths barely increasing), and slightly better
than Spain (1707), Mexico (1705), Portugal (1674), France (1667), Argentina (1647),
Romania (1574), Chile (1486), Sweden (1418) that never closed its
economy down like we did but has recently been experiencing a steady rise
in deaths, Switzerland (1238),
and Bolivia (1195).
Tests: We have now conducted 475,455,580
tests (now at 1,428,894/M) compared to number 2 now France at 1,275,757/M) as
we are conducting more tests in number and on a per capital basis for all nations
(other than those nations that contain small populations like Bahrain,
Denmark, Israel, Malta, Singapore and UAE) other than the U.K. which
remains as king of the mountain with respect to tests at 2,626,826/M.
CV Open Gate: Lost in the pronouncements by
Biden and his lackeys that there is no crisis of illegals surging across the
border is that fact that COVID-19 is alive and well and spreading in the
Northern Triangle and Mexico which has moved up to 11th on my list
of deaths from the pandemic at 1705/M and the 3 countries in the Northern
Triangle in terms of active cases and deaths per million are as follows even
though the data may be suspect as underreported (regardless of number we need
no more cases):
Guatemala: Activecases: 12,219 442Deaths/M
Honduras: Activecases: 143,945 618Deaths/M
El
Salvador: Active cases: 2,574 342
Deaths/M
US Vaccinations: As of 5/26/21
289.2 million doses and a day down to 1.70 million per day from yesterday’s 1.75
million on per day in the last week sounds impressive but if the rate does not
increase it will take us now back to some 4 months to have 75% of the
population vaccinated which many believe is necessary to develop herd immunity.
In California 37,480,670 total doses have been given (80.6% of doses received to
exceed the U.S. average of 80.4%), but even with the pressure of a recall to be
scheduled this fall which hopefully end Newsom’s term, California has moved slightly
from 25th to 24th out
of the 50 states in terms of the percentage of doses administered as a
percentage of doses delivered to the states and at 41.9% of its population
fully vaccinated compared to the U.S. average of 39.7% has moved from 21st to 20th among the 50 states. A long way to go still to get herd immunity
in terms of getting vaccines received into arms and the percentage of the
population fully vaccinated compared to other states which means a great reason
to recall this inept and hypocritical governor.
Non CV News: While Biden now claims that a leak from
the Wuhan Lab is among the likely scenarios of the origin of the COVID-19 virus
and is calling for a full intel probe, disputed reports are surfacing that that
Biden Administration pulled the plug on the State Department’s investigation
earlier this year (a full probe sounds like a great idea but it is almost like
locking the barn door after the cows have left); Apoorva Mandavilli, who sounds so typical of the
leftist pseudo “journalists” at the New York Times has tweeted and then
deleted her view that a leak from the Wuhan Lab is not plausible and is grounded
in racism (since when is opposing the world domination views by the Chinese
Communist Party a “racist position”; Samuel Cassidy, an employee at the Valley Transportation
Authority went into the railyard located in San Jose early this morning and
before killing himself, shot and killed 8 fellow employees; Kate Slater, who is
white and absolutely no business being an assistant dean at Brandeis
University, is defending critical race theory because in her biased mind “All
white people are racist” and she hates being white (she should pedal that inane
idea to the white parents and relatives of the many students that marched into
the South to protest Jim Crow and were beaten, arrested and in some case killed
and report back their reaction); Brittany Kennedy the black female thug captured
on video brutally attacking Emily Broadwater who had her baby with her in a
Little Caesar’s outlet has been arrested to hopefully be convicted and spend a
lot of time in prison where she belongs; coming down with COVID-19 is something
no one should have to endure but the silver lining is that the overwhelming
percentage of those not confined to the killing fields of nursing homes by the
likes of Cuomo and who survive have long lasting immunity to the disease; while
only 40% of California voters want to recall Gruesome Newsom the head of the
Public Employee Services Union is one of them which will not bode well for
Newsom as union support will be critical to stay in office; the Harvest Rock
Church in Pasadena had sued Newsom over his restriction on places of worship in
violation of the First Amendment has settled that law suit and will be
receiving $1.35 million from the state; a shred of reality seems to be setting
in Biden’s all out shift to the left as it appears he is dropping his campaign
promise to have student debt forgiven (far better solution would be promote
refinancing at lower rates to ease the burden of those students with degrees useless
in the job market; the MSM evidently has ignored the quote attributed to Marx
and Lenin “We will hang the last capitalist with the rope he sold us” as
reports indicate the Chinese were buying millions of dollars of advertising
from our press; hopefully
the Soros backed failure as a D.A. Gascon will not be long for his post as the
recall petition drive has started; Facebook which has massive amounts of eggs
on its censorship face now belatedly seen the error of its ways and will no
longer ban posts claiming CoVID-19 is manmade; it may be too little too late
but the Senate has passed a bill requiring the Biden Administration to
declassify all information on the origins of the COVID-19 virus; as it seems
more likely that COVID-19 came from the Wuhan Lab not the Wuhan Wet Markets pushed
by the Chinese and the MSM, leave it to the political cartoonist to reveal the egg on
their face flip flop of the Blues and Fauci: 
Chicago Gun Violence: Hey Jackass.com
is back to show that through May 25, 2021, gun violence involving mostly
persons of color shooting mostly persons of color in Chicago is alive and well
with 1379 persons shot of whom 241 have died.
As always, I hope you
