Ridley’s Believe It Or Not June 17, 2021
CV World Cases: The CV
pandemic across the planet continues on a slowing down basis the new year
with cases now over 178 million at 178,024,133 cases (177,799,414
yesterday), 11,614,021 of which are active, 166,410,112 closed with 162,556,878
recoveries (97.68% and 97.68% yesterday, and 3,853,234 deaths (2.32% and 2.32%
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 34 million at 34,372,431 (34,353,431
yesterday) with 5,119,866 active cases of which 4,283 (4,336) yesterday and
8,599 on 3/25/2021) (now down to .084% of active cases and now a significant
reduction to decrease the number of serious or critical cases to increase the
reduction from the 29,271 peak on 12/31/2020 to 24,988, 29,292,565 closed, with
616,365 deaths (2.10% and 2.11% yesterday) and with 28,676,200 recoveries (97.90%
and 97.89% yesterday). Our death rate percentage continues to slowly improve
and after many months is
now .22% lower than the world’s death rate.
Standing: On a deaths per million population
measure on a steady but slow climb to
1852 the U.S. ranks behind Peru (5673) the new number 1 which has had a quantum
leap in deaths previously unmatched which was a change in the classification to
give Peru the a new method of reporting to have a fatality rate of 9.4% of total
casesa ans now; Hungary the new number 2 has had a huge continuing surge in
deaths with the increase now slowing down and improving slightly
to 3.92% of its closed cases have died (3108), aping Hungary in
terms of increase in deaths Bulgaria 2603), Brazil (2308)
which has been hit with a rapid rise in deaths and cases and passed us and
Italy, Belgium (2158), (Italy (2107), Poland (1977) and the UK (1875) which had
passed us despite leading world in testing and now has new deaths barely
increasing), and Argentina (1914), and slightly better than Mexico (1771),
Spain (1724), France (1690), Romania (1680), Portugal (1677), Chile
(1616), Sweden (1431) that never closed its economy down like we did,
Bolivia (1338) and Switzerland (1247).
Tests:
We have now conducted 497,238,570 tests (now at 1,493,836/M) compared to number
2 now France at 1,374,844/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 2,914,434/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 been passed by Argentina to move down to 11th on my
list of deaths from the pandemic at 1771/M
with a fatality rate of 10.52% of closed cases 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: Active
Cases: 17,606 Deaths/M 469
Honduras: Active
Cases: 152,129 Deaths/M 665
El
Salvador: Active cases: 3,249 Deaths/M 355
US
Vaccinations: As of 6/17/21 315 million doses finally after decreasing for
several days falling to below 1 million to increase from 1.14 million per day
to 1.33 million which means if the rate does not increase it will take us now down
to some 4 months to miss Biden’s goal of having 75% of the population
vaccinated which many believe is necessary to develop herd immunity. In
California 41,042,422 total doses have been given (84.7% of doses received to
exceed the U.S. average of 83.5%), but even with the pressure of a recall to be
scheduled this fall which hopefully end Newsom’s term, California has finally
moved from 24th to
23rd of the 50 states in terms of the percentage of doses
administered as a percentage of doses delivered to the states and at 47.5% of
its population fully vaccinated compared to the U.S. average of 44.5% has not moved
from 19th 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: After watching Biden stumble through the G-7 and his reporting of his summit
with Putin, former White House Physician Ronny Jackson is demanding that Biden
take a cognitive awareness test as he believes he is not mentally or physically
fit to lead this nation; to the wrath of progressives SCOTUS ruled 9-0 that a
Catholic foster care agency can bar same sex couples from participating (exposing
the idiocy of the Blues claiming that SCOTUS is an arm of the Reds); Portland’s
highly trained rapid response team formed to deal with riots and severe
criminal activity has unanimously resigned from the unit after one of its
members during a riot in August setting fire to the Multnomah Building was
indicted for allegedly striking a rioter on the ground (omen of things to come
with the defund the police and anti-police rhetoric and bias in Blue led city
governments); Little Fredo Chris Cuomo after daring viewers to point out his
bias was hit with a flood of tweets detailing examples https://alaskanpoet.blogspot.com/2021/06/chris-cuomo-mocked-big-time-for-claim.html;
the St. Louis couple who pointed guns at a BLM mob who broke into their gated
community who were charged with the felony of illegal use of a weapon have pled
guilty to a stage 4 misdemeanor of causing apprehension, paid a $750 fine and
forfeited the 2 guns pointed (although the charges originally brought were a
Soros funded tragedy understand why they would plead and be rid of the problem);
Newsom must have allowed reality to overcome his ego and has launched an ad
campaign to counter the soon to be scheduled recall election; Pelosi must be
shaking her Botox ravage head in fear as she has appointed her nemesis AOC to a
new House Committee she formed to address wealth inequality in America; Mayor
Lightfoot, who is a modern day Nero as Chicago continues to be gripped with a
scourge of color on color shootings and killings that she is clueless on how to
curtail, now claims that racism is a public health crisis (a mayor who demands
more office time to get away from Chicago’s problems, bars whites from
interviews, and ignores the public health crisis of people of color shooting
and killing people of color is the true racist); Lightfoot is rightfully being
slammed by a Blue Alderman for now seeking federal help from Biden but refusing
it from Trump as hundreds upon hundreds of blacks died like flies; Buckhead a
suburb of Atlanta has filed papers to incorporate itself from Atlanta and fund
its own police department and city services; stymied by his efforts to profit from
his father’s positions with the scams at Burisma and the Chinese Venture
Capital Fund, Hunter Biden with no prior art experience is selling his artwork
(aka access to the president) for a minimum of $500,000 a pop with purchasers’
IDs kept secret; if you are a Scotch drinker, you will be pleased that the
Biden Administration has scrapped the 25% tariff levied by the Trump
Administration as a result of the EU subsidies in the Boeing Airbus dispute; as
more and more Americans are becoming concerned over the politization of the DOJ
against conservative thought, leave it to the political cartoonist to expose
the danger and the double standard of our AG:
Chicago Gun Violence: Hey Jackass.com is alive and well to
collect data to show that through June 15, 2,021, gun
violence involving mostly persons of color shooting mostly persons of color in
Chicago is alive and well with 1707 persons shot of whom 295 have died.
