If you look at the press release[1]: > 98.9-percent of new COVID-19 cases since Jan. 1, 2021, were people not vaccinated > 98.6-percent of COVID-19 hospitalizations since Jan. 1, 2021, were people not vaccinated > 98.7-percent of COVID-19 deaths since Jan. 1, 2021, were people not vaccinated These kinds of numbers games naturally lead one to suspect an agenda. On January 12, 2021, a grand total of 0.24 percent of the Idaho population was fully vaccinated. > Since May 15, there have been 10-times as many COVID-19 cases among unvaccinated people compared to vaccinated people > Since May 15, there have been 13-times as many COVID-19 hospitalizations among unvaccinated people compared to vaccinated people > Since May 15, there have been 8-times as many COVID-19 deaths among unvaccinated people compared to vaccinated people.

of Idhoans were fully vaccinated[2]. > Over 197 million Americans have received the vaccine safely. According to the CDC[3], C> As of August 30, 2021, more than 173 million people in the United States had been fully vaccinated against COVID-19. Why does the governor feel the need to overstate the number of fully vaccinated people by almost 14% in a press release dated Thursday August 12, 2021?

In Spread of Delta variant driven by both immune escape and increased infectivity
To be fair, the last wave suggests that wearing masks has no effect in this pandemic[0][1]. Comparing Sweden and Germany (which have at least similar health systems and count similarly) the mortality rate of SARS-CoV-2 is about the same, where Swedes rarely wear any masks and in Germany it is mandatory indoors (accessible to the public) and even mandatory in some zones outdoors. Also when you think about it, the permanent mask usage has some serious hygienic downsides. 1. You need to touch your face way more often (reseat+put on/off) 2. Most masks still allow viri to go through (especially on the sides) 3. Masks are often reused and used for too long (correct usage would need either a lot of money+time or hundreds of masks/month) The positive effects of masks in this pandemic are pretty debatable especially given the "circumstantial" evid

Hi all, we thought it might be interesting to point our spreadsheet integration tool at some of the COVID-19 data repos on GitHub. So, basically you get all the data from these repos with a single function in Excel/Google Sheets. For example: =FLEX("covid-19-cases-jhu", "country_region, province_state, date, confirmed, active", "+Illinois", "limit=500") Here’s a short overview video that shows it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MxeP0wFqcqc We have integrations for the GitHub repos for Johns Hopkins [1], New York Times [2] and Our World in Data [3]. Everything is (nearly) instantly filterable using Lucene Query Syntax [4]. We'd love to get your feedback; let us know if you have any questions. Thnx!
