RIDLEY’S BELIEVE IT OR NOT November 10, 2021
CV World
Cases: The CV pandemic across the planet continues on an increasing basis
with cases now over 252 million at 252,069,470 cases, 18,845,748
of which are active, 233,223,722 closed with 228,136,795 recoveries
(97.82%), and cracking the 5,000,000 barrier 5,086,927 deaths (2.18% )to
continue the low trend of increased cases with increased recovery percentages
and decreased death percentages with some plateaus, dips, and rises.
CV USA Cases: Total
cases now over 47 million at 47,630,955 with 9,170,649 active cases of
which 11,328 are serious or critical,
(8,599 on 3/25/2021) (back to steady decreases with upticks despite the
Delta variable to .124% of active cases and to decrease the reduction from the
29,271 peak on 12/31/2020 to 17,943, 38,460,306 closures with 779,799 deaths
(2.03%) and with 37,680,507 recoveries (97.97%). Our death rate percentage is
.15% lower than the world’s death rate.
Standing: On a deaths
per million population measure on a steady but slow climb to 2327
the U.S. ranks behind Peru (596860) 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 9.26% of
total cases now; Bulgaria the new number 2 (3716), Hungary (3284), Brazil
(2843) which has been hit with a rapid rise in deaths now slowing down, Romania
(2722), Argentina (2539), and newly added to the list Columbia (2473), and
slightly better than Belgium (2250), Mexico (2219), Italy (2197), UK (2082), Poland
(2071), Chile (1960), Spain (1873), Ecuador newly added to
list (1832), France (1803), Portugal (1794), Bolivia (1596), Sweden
(1477) that never closed its economy down like we did, and Switzerland (1295).
Tests: No
need to tally tests as testing programs are functioning well.
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 is 10th on my list of deaths from the
pandemic at 2219/M with 347,067 active cases and a fatality rate of 8.32%
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: 3,016 Deaths/M 848
Honduras: Active
Cases: 249,442 Deaths/M 1022
El
Salvador: Active cases: 14,463 Deaths/M 567
US
Vaccinations: As of 11/10/2021 433.2 million doses, 1.13 million per day
(up to 3 months for 75% of population vaccinated) and in California 149,110
per day (which means at least 76% of the population of California has
received at least one shot which many believe is necessary to develop herd
immunity (other than Flip Flop Fauci who may believe that 90% is
required). In California 55,671,028 total doses have been given (84.9%
of doses received to exceed the U.S. average of 88.8%), California
has moved from 5th to 6th of the 50 states in terms
of the percentage of doses administered as a percentage of doses delivered to
the states and at 61.9% of its population fully vaccinated compared to the U.S.
average of 58.5% and has moved from 14th to 15th in terms of
getting vaccines received into arms and the percentage of the population fully
vaccinated compared to other states.
Non CV
News: VP Harris once again has made a
complete fool out of herself in Paris, a city noted for is disapproval of those
who butcher the French language, as she talked to a group of French scientist
at the Pasteur Institute about Biden’s De Plan for the environment (total
cringe moment for Americans wondering how can someone so inept be given any tasks
to solve); Even as Harris’s approval rating has sunk below that of Biden,
Kimmel in a knee jerk reaction claims her low approval ratings are not due to
her incompetence but sexism and racism; Joe Biden due to his cognitive collapse
has become a mental midget as opposed to a mental giant but still this dementia
infected president has the audacity to complain that Americans are not smart
enough to understand the supply chain bottlenecks; Steve Sweeney the head of
the New Jersey State Senate has finally conceded defeat to truck driver Ed Durr
who spent $153 on his campaign with the words that should send shivers up the
backs of all Blues seeking reelection that he “was crushed by a Red wave”; Kyle
Rittenhouse took the stand to establish his the basis for his self defense in killing a rioter that was point a gun at
him as he was lying on the ground after a rioted knocked him down and another
tried to kick him in the head after the judge lashed out at the prosecution for
overstepping its bounds during cross (the MSM biased pundits that roasted
Rittenhouse as a ruthless white suprematcist domestic terrorist after the event
are looking more and more like fools); Newsweek like many of the MSM
thinks that Stacey Abrams walks on water (although given her obese frame it
must be very heavy or with high concentrations of salt) as it ran with a
flattering article on her wondering if she can save the Blues again like her
get out the vote registration drive managed to do in the Georgia Senate races
that flipped the Senate Blue; another example of sports being corrupted by
politics, Peloton is being accused of blocking users who want to link up with
users spouting “Let’s Go Brandon” (now that the pandemic is subsiding and
people can go outside and bike, might not be a good time for conservatives to
forego purchasing the high priced piece of indoor physical exercise equipment);
2 days after a SpaceX capsule returned safely with astronauts from the ISIS,
another SpaceX Falcon 9 launched successfully with 4 astronauts aboard with 4
astronauts and supplies headed to the ISIS; Judge Lee Yeakel, a Bush appointee,
overturn Governor Abbot’s ban of mask mandates saying it violated the Americans
With Disabilities Act; bringing some biological sense to the transgender
movement, Red Governor Stitt of Oklahoma banned the issuance of nonbinary birth
certificates; Austin’s COVID-19 requirements have forced the cancellation of
its annual Veterans Day Parade that some 30,000 Texans were expected to have
watched; MSNBC Stephanie Ruhle who drools bias, was Delusionally touting the
economic progress made by the Biden Administration, oblivious to the highest
inflation in decades and supply chain shortages that are now showing up- in
near empty store shelves and hundreds and hundreds of container ships anchored
off our ports waiting weeks to unload; like pulling teeth the Pentagon has
reluctantly admitted there are dozens of family members of American troops
still left in Afghanistan following Biden’s botched withdrawal; as motorists’
blood pressures rise and their wallets thin out over rising gas prices, leave
it to the political cartoonist to place the finger of blame for the reason:
Chicago
Gun Violence: Hey Jackass.com is alive and well to collect data to show that
through November 9, 2021, gun violence involving mostly persons of color
shooting mostly persons of color in Chicago is alive and well with 4031 persons
shot of whom 702 have died.

1. Marine Corps Birthday—celebrating the formation of the Marine Corps
by the Continental Congress on this day in 1775 with the first recruitment
conducted at Tun Tavern in Philadelphia.
2. Sesame
Street Day—proclaimed by Mayor Michael Bloomberg on this day in
2009, marking the 40th anniversary of the children’s TV program Sesame
Street which is still going strong today to the joy of children today
and the parents and grandparents who started watching in 1969.
3. 1938 Number 1 Song USA—the number 1 song in 1938 on this day was “Change
Partners” by Fred Astaire on a run in that position of 2 weeks
noncontinuous to join 16 other songs that achieved number 1 status. Here’s
a film clip from the movie Carefree of Fred Astaire singing “Change
Partners”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iv4CXIRs6Ec
4. Word of the Day—the word of the day is “simpliciter” which
means without qualification or condition which probably explains why we have so
much gridlock in Congress as few are willing to compromise.
5. Born To Be a Marine—celebrating the birth on this day in 1981 of
Jason Dunham who following graduation from high school befitting his birthday
date enlisted in the Marine Corps and while serving in Iraq on April 14, 2004 jumped on a grenade while his platoon was
attacked to shield his fellow Marines and was severely wounded and died from
his wounds on April 22, 2004 to be awarded the Medal of Honor posthumously on November
10, 2006 at the dedication of the Marine Museum National Marine Museum.

this day in:

though plenty of South Vietnamese continued to die.
c. 1983 Bill Gates introduced
Windows 1.
d. 1989 the
Germans began tearing down the Berlin Wall.
e. 1997
WorldCom and MCI Communications announced their $37 billion merger, the largest

Reflections on the Vietnamization of the Vietnam
War: “The Vietnamization plan was launched following
Secretary Laird's visit to Vietnam in March. Under the plan, I ordered first a
substantial increase in the training and equipment of South Vietnamese forces.
In July, on my visit to Vietnam,
I changed General Abrams' orders so that they were consistent with the
objectives of our new policies. Under the new orders, the primary mission of
our troops is to enable the South Vietnamese forces to assume the full
responsibility for the security of South Vietnam.
Our air operations have been
reduced by over 20 percent.” Richard Nixon, TV address to the nation on
November 3, 1969
