Unless there is a sudden jump in deaths, this will be my final listing of the above information. I might, though, include weekly data. For example, total cases this past week:
- World 415,276
- #1 South Korea 118,514
- #2 Japan 43,514
- #3 France 28,581
- #4 USA 27,135
- So did South Korea suffer from 29% of all covid cases with a population percentage of 0.6%? Absolutely not. Countries like S. Korea and Japan religiously report all cases. Most don't bother.
- About total deaths this past week per million population:
- #1 Denmark 8 (8.4)
- #2 Croatia 8 (8.25)
- #3 Hong Kong 8 (7.8)
- #4 Ireland 8 (7.8)
- #5 New Zealand 7
- #6 Germany 5
- #8 France 3
- #16 S. Korea 1
- #26 Japan 0.8
- #27 USA 0.8
- Total deaths since the pandemic began/million population.
- #1 Peru 6537
- #2 Bulgaria 5603
- #3 Hungary 5086
- #15 USA 3473
- #1 Arizona 4596
- #2 West Virginia 4525
- #3 Mississippi 4518
- #49 Utah 1673
- #50 Vermont 1489
- #51 Hawaii 1339 (wow...we're the lowest in the nation)
- #20 UK 3261
- #31 Russia 2734
- #37 France 2544
- #43 Sweden 2366
- #56 Germany 2070
- #79 Denmark 1477
- #104 Norway 986
- #108 WORLD 882
- #111 New Zealand 858
- #113 Taiwan 796
- #121 South Korea 674
- #129 Japan 595
- #139 Thailand 485
- #152 Singapore 291
- Any country below Singapore cannot be trusted for actually reporting covid deaths.
- Note that early on, Sweden loosened restrictions compare to the other Scandinavian countries. Not good, for their death rate was more than double the others.
- For the past many months, Japan has been #1 or #2 in new cases/day.
- But they report accurately.
- So why is their death rate almost 6 times lower than the USA?
- Mostly because those countries that somehow prevented early infections, and introduced vaccinations in time, suffered very low death rates.
- China?
- Secret.
- The Economist reported that their official total death toll is 87,468, or 0.006% of their population. They thought this was a ridiculously low percentage.
- USA 0.35% (China's rate is 58 times lower)
- World 0.09%
- Peru 0.65%
- Japan 0.06% (China's rate is 10 times lower).
- I suspect China's death rate is close to that of Japan. Thus, China probably suffered about a million deaths....still lower than the USA with 1.16 million deaths. But we do have only 25% the population of China.
Of course, this is not the end of my reportage about this pandemic. Some questions of interest.
- What was the asymptomatic rate?
- Those who were asymptomatic, seriously and innocently, spread most of the COVID-19 virus.
- This number probably did not vary much by country, but certainly dropped over time with vaccinations.
- In September of 2020, Dr. Tony Fauci thought this was 40%-45%.
- In March of 2022 China indicated that the asymptomatic rate at 95% or higher.
An analysis of Scandinavia, where Sweden avoided restrictions for the sake of the economy. They suffered a much higher death rate.- How did much of the Orient and Oceania avoid the infection until much later, thus, with vaccinations, ending up with low death rates.
- What did Peru, Europe and the USA do wrong?
- The true story of China.
- Where this all started.
- How many cases and deaths?
- Seven killer pandemics that started in China.
- As most deadly pandemics in history originate in China, what can be done about the future?
About covid deaths, this article was sent to me by a friend:
The COVID-19 incident period will come to an end on May 11, 2023. FEMA will continue to provide funeral assistance until Sept. 30, 2025, to those who have lost loved ones due to this pandemic.
Okay, one final comment. How did Donald Trump do in the CNN town hall last night? Here is a quick summary from CNN.
Could he stop lying about the 2020 election?
Did he regret his role in the US Capitol riot on January 6, 2021?
Would he attempt to walk the line in a bid to win over moderate voters?
No and no. Emphatically no.
My thoughts:
- I agree with CNN.
- If Donald Trump and his advisors used this opportunity to get elected on 5 November 2024 as the primary goal, they miserably failed
- He's got his supporters in his pocket. For reasons that continue to confound me, they actually want him to be the once and future president. His performance was for them. He succeeded.
- If he wanted to sway some lingering Independents and Democrats, he lost most of them.
Compounding his embarrassing loss to E. Jean Carroll in court will be cases in New York, Georgia and with the Department of Justice.- The only goal for Democrats is to keep him active and feisty through July of next year into the Republican Convention.
- Both New York and Georgia will try him and probably find him guilty. But the verdicts will be contested and every effort should be made by Democrats to keep him out jail.
- The final wild card will be that January 6 attack on the U.S. Congress. The Department of Justice will be smart enough to attack to maximize victory on 5 November 2024.
The greatest challenge is for the Republican Party to gain some unity for that date.- At this point, 544 days to general election day in 2024, looks like Democrats will easily win the White House and prevail in both houses of Congress, plus a few more governorships.
- Immigration will remain a mess, but inflation will be in control by this time next year, the Ukraine War will be in better shape and abortion will haunt Republicans.
I'm presently leaning towards a Michelle Obama vs Chris Sununu battle on 5 November, with perhaps Liz Cheney running as an Independent.
