Published Post #35000 -- Chinese Flu Update -- November 29, 2020

Updates

Later, 10:32 p.m. CT

Original Post

Wow, wow, wow.

About two hours ago I wrote this:

Chinese flu: I'm most excited about the Johns Hopkins data that will be released later today. Their update was delayed by almost a full eight hours yesterday. Johns Hopkins link here; it is updated daily; usually in the early morning. As of 9:22 a.m. CT it has not yet been updated today.

Johns Hopkins / The WSJ has updated the data.

Link here.  

Four data points for North Dakota:

  • ND has highest penetration rate in the US, perhaps in the world for Chinese flu: at 10% trending toward 11% (for the archives: no vaccine yet)
  • NoDaks reluctant to wear masks; value their independence; pioneering spirit
  • a highly rural state with three or four urban centers
  • Covid-19 with an R0 factor of less than 2, perhaps

With those data points and the graphic above, there is an obvious question. We may not know the answer for years.

High Sierra turned out to be a much better movie than I ever realized. 

Filmed on location: Kanab Canyon, Aspen Mirror Lake, Duck Creek, Cascade Falls, and Cedar Breaks in Utah. Specifically, Whitney Portal, halfway up Mount Whitney in the Sierra Nevada of California. 

Today, it's a five-hour drive from Hollywood, CA, to Whitney Portal.
