Got my vaccine shot yesterday so far no bad side effects, I feel that i can be more relaxed now when it comes to social distancing, but intellectually I know that I still need to be careful. I wonder if this statistical effect of higher infection rate after the vaccine shot is more a psychological effect than a medical one. Anyway it was a delight to take it with a good planning and very nice interaction with the nurse/doctor who shared a few laughs with me before I left. It all took 30 minutes.

Something went wrong.... Sweden now in pole position in Europe
We got the third wave later than other countries in Europe hence the rise is moste exterme here now. Deaths or not as high as before
But the ICU cases are no on par with the highest peak in the second wave although the patients are younger and has better prognosis than
before. So the cases are mostly young people as the weakest elderly population is now vaccinated.

Just buy some cheap Ivermectin. There is no reason to hide. Worldometer only shows 4 deaths/day in average for Sweden.
Only rule people need to follow: Use an FP98 mask for trains/shops. Medical masks have absolute no value for 1.1.7.1.
Basically all people with severe infections get in from long stays indoors. Most of the time from the partner.
Worldometer has a bug, the natioanl statistic present the dates of the deaths and the latest reported day has very few deaths due to the fact that reporting can take 10 days to trickle in. The true statistic is that we are plateauing on around 20 deaths a day.

Look at Sweden: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/sweden/
Near peek number of cases. All time low in death 4/day last week.
What is wrong there??
75% of the deaths are from elderly care and most of them are vaccinated now. That translates to around 25deaths a day from the peak number and currently we are around 20deaths per day.
Our hospitalization is very high atm and icu cases are younger and close to the autumn peak. So the nurses and doctors here are working overtime. I'm hiding at home waiting for my vaccination.
We are vaccinating mostly 70years and above. Here 16% has gotten their first vaccine shot.

Mills has an interesting discussion at the end of GUTCP regarding the muons g-factor. E.g. GUTCP, the text is interesting as it explains that
the "measured value" is not as straightforward as seen from the news outlets.

As I understand it, China got a problem to supply enough meat from pigs due to the pig influensa. And due to this famers began to raise other animals
from the forrest and by that enable new viruses to spread among the humans hence the corona virus. Sounds very plausable and logical to me.

Blood clots in the lungs sounds serious. Is it COVID related? If not, sorry...did not mean to pry into your health.
no, it was not covid related.

My area in sweden has seen much lower case rates then other parts of sweden and scientists has analyzed why. It isnt masks. Its how we socialize in tight small groups with little interactiin between. Again masks do help but the debate is flawed with way too much focus on masks. social distancing is way more important and essentiall all around me who got covid did it because they socialized. Probably if they wore a mask they would have been ok but dining and masks ... I went to hospital due to blood cloths in the lungs. felt very safe and everything was carefully handled. no visitors. only stay in the room. nurses and doctors with masks and visir e.g plastic shields. whenever moving around i got a mask. All went ok. Its cool how the society adapts. But next summer there will be a change with family gatherings and party as the vaccine saves us. longing longing.

Ivermectin study that is randomized and double blind Study
4 dead in the placebo group and zero in the ivermectin group

There is a new business update and as I understand it Mills is preparing a paper in nature that might be something else. He is cooperating with people well versed in Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) and the results is speculated to increase eyebrows producing results that was predicted long time ago by Mills. One result that is expected is the measurement of the g-factor that is different for hydrino's. You may find these discussions at Redit

While enjoying your 2 day break from the COVID thread, here is the latest from BLP:
thanks Santa!
Something good from 2020. I guess droplets in steam cannot be the issue here as Cop is 3. Also very nice to see a validation for a longer time interval as the previous ones was too short to be comfortable. Also note that we have the hydrogene flow and only trace amounts of oxygene which means that excess hydrogene in exhaust can be reused and hence it is unlikely that the excess we se is from burning hydrogene to
water and practically hydrogene losses will not eat up the energy budget. I miss a discussion of error bars for electricity input though in the report.

I think anecdotes make poor science here.
there is some comparative info from the US - looking at states where individual counties had differing mask mandate policies, that mask mandates reduced R value by up to 50% but that data can be contaminated of course: those areas likley politically to mandate masks will also be likely to take social distancing more seriously.
Nevertheless on balance the science seems quite heavily on the side of masks help. The behavioural science is unclear because you can argue it your way, or that the act of putting on and wearing a mask, and seeing other masks reminds people of the virus.
Another factor is about compliance. Above all we need everyone to see that complying with social distancing measures is normal - what others do. Going out and seeing 90% of population masked up sends that message.
The behavioural science matters here as much as the medical science - though both matter!
The problem we see here is not that the one complying also getting a mask on. It's the ones that does not comply in the first place that needs to be addressed that's a huge group of people that dine, go to parties, shop at crowded shop malls etc etc.

The IBM comparison is halting. It's like if IBM was INTEL as well and used 3-5 years versions ahead of the CPU than the competitors. How much is it worth to be able to commute
without actually driving the car when the commute is a 1 and a half hours drive? Yep that's the future and that realization is much nearer than you may think. Also Tesla is leading
when it comes to battery production and is innovating like hell. Sure cheating by cutting the range and long-lived of the battery you can make it cheaper with standard battery solution but according
to the plan Tesla will cut the price of batteries by almost a half on three years time when the standard tech have plateau-ed. But then again China is known to steal tech so who knows where it ends.
But I do not think that cheap labor can compete with highly automated production with a small skilled workforce. Also note that TESLA is innovating on basically every vertical layer in the production
of an EV, This fact typically means that they have an edge and if they decided to focus on a car in the cheap price range they would take over that market as well.

I read about the experience of a shop worker here in Sweden who complained that the people with mask was all over them being way to close and those without mask kept a decent distance. This illustrate the main points against general mask mandates. We should be fine with distancing alone as a measure to calm the spread. But people do not follow the recommendations, go to private parties, dinners and other events. My experience is really that people who are cautious and distance themselves also do not catch covid.
I agree somewhat with Wyttenbach when it comes to pharmaceutical industry and the socially accepted fact that they spend a lot of time and money to influencing the doctors in a way that I think
is not ethical although they try to keep it ethical. To see the effect of this I would point to the overuse of heavy pain pills that caused an epidemy of narcotic problems in USA because of the successful campaign from the industry to make the doctors prescribe the pills. On the other hand, generally, the doctors try to keep being professional and strive to make good, and they usually, at least here in Sweden try to follow the newest findings via academic experts who write reports published in a special journal that comes out frequently. In my judgement most of these professors have a high morale and deep knowledge that I really trust more than people in this forum. The non use of some of the medicaments discussed hear is because that the randomized studies have not proved they are working and so they don't find the proof enough convincing. If the the proof was convincing we would have Swedish experts writing about the results to the general working doctors. Perhaps the pharma industry managed to get researchers to use the wrong medical protocol for HCQ, perhaps not, but that is not the same as saying that all doctors are bad because they do not prescribe the drugs. The problems is in stead in the small group of researchers that uses the wrong protocol and hence misleads the expert judgement.

This is statistics, people are quite satisfied with the car in general although they have these build problems if you ask them. The interesting thing about tesla is the technology, I am following the FSD beta program and are amazed by the technology they will reach level 4 capacity quite soon with the speed they improve. Also it is evident that they will produce a car that is much safer than a normal driver in the end. The new battery technology is really cool as we are within a couple of years to cut the cost of batteries per kWh by around 50% also less energy to produce the batteries and much cleaner, if that happens you EV's will take over as they are then much more cost effective and clean than ICE cars.

Japan Times reports some hospitals reaching maximum capacity...
https://www.japantimes.co.jp/n…elmed-resurgent-pandemic/
Medical care systems are on the verge of collapsing in some regions in Japan amid the ongoing surge in the number of novel coronavirus infections.
If the current situation continues in some areas in the northern prefecture of Hokkaido and the Tokyo metropolitan region, there will be a grave impact on the local health care systems and it will become impossible to save lives that could have otherwise been saved, a health ministry panel of experts warned at a meeting Tuesday night.
A member of the panel said, “We can’t say whether we will be able to maintain the current medical treatment systems after two weeks.” There is a “huge gap” in the crisis perception between the government and medical workers on the ground, the member added.
Echoing the panel’s view, Toshio Nakagawa, head of the Japan Medical Association, told a news conference Wednesday that the medical service system “is on the brink of collapsing.” The pace of the increase in infections is particularly fast in Hokkaido, the greater Tokyo area, the Kansai region, including Osaka Prefecture, and the Chubu region, including Aichi Prefecture, he said.
I looked at the wordometers numbers for japan around 1500 new cases and 20 deaths today?? That is not that many for a country of 120million people. What am I missing?

the problem is that when cases in icu are low people feel safe and do not follow the recommendations. I have seen this personally where some who i know wasnt cautious and got corona. Those who follow the advice all are spared among my group. atm the numbrrs are high again and again the streets and malls are empty. R is close to 1 and the increase will brake. The top will reach 40 deaths a day i project. We will probably not reach the limits of icu beds. These statistics is worse then our nordic neighbours but better then the rest of eorope. And do note that masks are not used in norway and finland so obviously they are not the solution.

It looks to me like they have pulled back from the precipice in France and the UK. Things are looking better in Japan, but that might be because there is a national holiday and reporting might be delayed. The numbers in France are encouraging. I believe they have reimposed a lockdown. It is a darn shame they had to go that far but when you ignore medical science that is what you end up doing.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/france/
Meanwhile, in Sweden the disaster continues. This is what happens when you ignore science and the advice of doctors. Some people are calling this the "Swedish experiment." That is like calling the "Tuskegee Study of Untreated Syphilis in the Negro Male" (https://www.cdc.gov/tuskegee/timeline.htm) an "experiment," or saying the Nazi concentration camp medical tests were "medical research." Both were deliberate, premeditated homicide. The results of the "Swedish experiment" were a foregone conclusion. The Swedish government ignored medical advice and refused to use techniques that have been used to control epidemics since the medieval era. Quoting Ishaan Tharoor in the Washington post:
. . . the total number of infections is nearing 200,000 in a country of 10 million people.
In Stockholm, the capital, 1 in 5 people getting tested is testing positive, and the official number of positive cases could be much higher with more widespread testing.
Hospitalizations are rising faster in Sweden than any other European country, and Sweden’s per capita death rate is several times higher than those of its Nordic neighbors Finland, Denmark and Norway.
“So far Sweden’s strategy has proven to be a dramatic failure,” Lena Einhorn, a Swedish virologist and vocal opponent of its strategy, told the Financial Times. "Four days ago we had eight times higher cases per capita than Finland and 3½ times more than Norway. They were supposed to have it worse off than us in the autumn because we were going to have immunity."
With the toll of the virus growing, some experts believe that the Swedish experiment is nearing its end and that it may be time for more systematic measures, including a broader lockdown. "With such a rise in infections as is now happening, it is as if we in Sweden are in free fall."

Usually a lot of critique of Sweden is based om comparing Sweden with Norway and Finland and say hey you did wrong with your open lock down. The same people also seam to think that whenever we use masks, everything will be ok. Now the big issue I have with this is that non of Norway, Finland or Sweden is using general mask mandates. What this proves is that there are factors that are orders of magnitude better to implement then using masks per their own argument that we can compare the countries and in Norway and Finland the numbers are so small that we do not need further mandates. So focusing on masks is the wrong discussion or?
