THE LATEST ABOUT COVID-19

The pandemic is over, and because of vaccinations, the mortality rate for COVID-19 is approaching that of the seasonal flu.  The World weekly  case count dropped 25% this past week .  Then again, some countries are faring better than others.  For example, regarding the weekly case % change over the past week: #1    Costa Rica  +92,800% #2    Guinea Bissau  +26,400% #3    Estonia  +23,900% #14  Canada  +534% #25  Brazil  +73% #30  Thailand  +39% #36  South Korea +14% #44  Denmark  +2% #45  Mexico  -2% #70  Germany  -30% #89  USA  -55% Deaths in the past week per million population. #1    New Zealand  11 #2    Denmark  8 #3    Hong Kong  4 #4    Germany  4 #14  Canada  1 #17  S. Korea  1 #25  USA  0.7 Okay, but what about China ?  Still, pretty much careful about sharing any data.  However, as of 11 May 2023: On May 3, the U.S. Department of Transportation increased the number of round-trip Chinese airlines flights from 8 to 12 per week.

HOW DEADLY IS COVID-19?

I promised to post Part 2 of my SETI series today, but I'll again delay it. Tomorrow for sure. Today, back to the pandemic.   The   Star Advertiser   this morning had a startling front page headline: FLU PROVES DEADLIER THAN COVID   Essentially, here is what the article said:  In Hawaii, on an annual basis, the combined deaths for flu and pneumonia are higher than the 12-month death total for COVID-19.  Keep in mind that the death rate of this pandemic virus is 10 to 66 times that of the seasonal flu, so the latter higher than the former is a bit scary.  And why such a wide range? Using data from  Worldometer: The world mortality rate of COVID-19 is 2%.  This means that 2 die for every 100 cases. Depending on who you ask, the mortality rate of the seasonal flu is anywhere from  0.03%  to  0.1% . The matter of asymptomaticity causes a lot of confusion, for that 2% fatality figure for COVID will someday be much lower when the total cases count also includes this group.   Thus, the st
