Where We Are Now

Kevin Roche has posted striking data on relative death risks in the matter of Covid-19. While the Star Tribune continues to wage a campaign of fear consistent with the Democrats’ agenda, I asked Kevin for a set of bullet points drawing inferences with public policy implications from the data — “broader commentary on where we are with the epidemic, in light of my relative death risk tables,” as he put it in his message responding to my request. As always, we take Minnesota data, trends, and public policy issues as representative. Kevin comments in the form of 10 bullet points.
The bottom line is, our elites are panicking and JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND why the Dirt People aren’t panicking, too; totally oblivious to the fact that the government and media have consistently lied to everybody (a) how bad it was to start with and (b) how bad it isn’t now. The Pandemic Panic shares exactly the same Usual Suspects as the Global Warming Hysteria, the same dependence on one-size-fits-all coercive solutions, and the same Shut Up And Do What You’re Told attitude on the part of people who see themselves as On The Right Side Of History.
