Apocalypse Now? Coronavirus Cases STILL NOT Boosting Weekly Death Numbers…YET

An analysis of the latest weekly death numbers from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) from the week ending March 21, 2020 and posted on the CDC Web Site on Friday, April 3, 2020

Doomsday Virus? Coronavirus cases are NOT boosting the weekly death numbers for pneumonia and influenza from the CDC and National Center for Health Statistics yet. This would be expected if the coronavirus (SARS-Cov-2) is unusually deadly compared to other diseases that contribute to deaths categorized as pneumonia and influenza… YET! (Based on data through March 21, 2020)

Luxury Apartment Building Continues as PANDEMIC RAGES

Luxury apartment construction in Palo Alto, CA (Santa Clara County, Silicon Valley) continues despite the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic and a revised shelter-in-place order that appears to explicitly exclude almost all construction issued on March 31, 2020. It is difficult to understand why these projects were ever allowed to continue nor why some appear to be continuing after the new revised order if authorities genuinely believe COVID-19 is much more deadly than the common colds and flus that cause about 55,000 deaths per year in the United States.
