I’ve resolved tonight to make this all “idiot simple“. Heh.

I am hoping John’s increasingly enfeebled mind will… more readily absorb pictures — even if they simplify reality just a bit.

Here is his latest. Yet again, he says it is no more worrisome than the “regular” flu of 2017-18. [The virus we now face is as different, genetically, from that one — as we are, from… Neanderthals.]

In so doing, Hinderaker takes that 2018 “snapshot” — of the end of that experience, and then argues — without evidence — that the present COVID-19 movie, one in which the opening titles haven’t yet finished running… should be the subject of ridicule. This is so because he’s using the end of a 2018 movie in which a vaccine was widely available — and administered, for that year’s flu.

[There is no Corona vaccine — and so essentially no one has acquired immunity to it, except for people who’ve already gotten it, and recovered. In sum, COVID-19 cannot be suppressed the way our seasonal flus are, moron.]

In pictures, then — we are presently at “One” [1] — in my graphic, at right — the wave is still building, and gathering energy. The wave’s lip hasn’t yet begun to curl — in “Two” [2].

So we cannot yet even remotely estimate the tonnage of the ocean’s water we are about to be COMPLETELY pounded by — in… “Three” [3].

One should be especially circumspect [cough — John] when opining on bio-science, and pandemic transmission waves — one doesn’t… understand. At all.

People’s lives — perhaps over 300,000 of them, globally, hang in the balance, John.

JUST SHUT UP. Yeah, in a word — shut up.

Or try surfing — on Hawaii’s North Shore, before offering this utter nonsense. Go, get pounded.
