Let’s look at some numbers..
=============
The Barrington Declaration — signed by thousands of scientists and medical practitioners (and, of course, censored by Google, et. al.) — has really stimulated my thinking about the past & Biden-prospective COVID lockdowns.
For a summary of the Barrington Declaration, see: Which scientists to believe & to follow?
The current COVID death counts are eye-opening:
The U.S. has accumulated about 665 deaths per million … Sweden has accumulated 585 deaths per million — a rate that is about 12% lower than the U.S. .. and whopping 66% lower than the heavily locked down state of New York.
I’d call those numbers statistically significant.
Now, let’s look at the numbers from a different angle…

I’ve heard or read this stat several times:
29 large universities including Notre Dame, the University of North Carolina, and Illinois State had reported some 26,000 cases by Sept. 9 yet no hospitalizations.
I used to frequently remind my students that incredible means not credible … and, this stat certainly sounded incredible … so, I largely ignored it.
But, when the statistic was repeated in the WSJ, I decided that it was worth looking into.
Here’s what I found…

… and any friends who say that Trump should have yelled “FIRE” back in January.
==============
Dana Perino interviewed Bob Woodward last week.
She was politely asking the right sort of questions … maybe, too politely … and not pointed enough.
IMHO, Woodward came off like a crotchety old man who wanted — above all — for Trump to get off his front lawn.
He kept harping on the the Jan. 28 NSA briefing that the coronavirus could be deadly and could be the most serious security threat to the U.S.
Good enough for Woodward, even if the scientists (think: Fauci) weren’t onboard and there was only 1 reported case in the U.S.
Paraphrasing slightly, when Perino pointed that and cited some of Trump’s accomplishments — including the Mideast peace accords — Woodward said, in effect, “I base my judgment of his incompetency on his response to the Jan. 28 NSA brief alone.”

OK, given Woodward’s sharp focus on the Jan. 28 NSA briefing, these are the specific questions I’d ask him…
