The COVID curve: apples vs. oranges

The New Neo Posted on April 27, 2020 by neoApril 27, 2020

One of the many problems with evaluating what’s going on with COVID-19 is that no place on earth is quite like any other place. So one can pick and choose statistics from different areas, depending on what one wishes to … Continue reading →

Fear is an opportunity for tyranny

The New Neo Posted on April 27, 2020 by neoApril 29, 2020

And ’twas ever thus. One of the many lessons of the COVID-19 response is how easily public officials embrace tyranny, and how many people accept it because of fear. I’m afraid of COVID-19. I’m in a relatively high-risk group, and … Continue reading →

How unique is COVID-19?

The New Neo Posted on April 25, 2020 by neoApril 25, 2020

A lot of the COVID-19 coverage posits or implies its uniqueness. And of course, every virus is somewhat unique. Is this one that much more unique than others? It resembles regular seasonal flu in its age distribution of deaths, although … Continue reading →

COVID and smoking (also, a little review of H1N1)

The New Neo Posted on April 24, 2020 by neoApril 24, 2020

It seems counter-intuitive, but it may be that smoking confers some sort of benefit regarding COVID: French researchers want coronavirus patients to wear nicotine patches to study whether it helps prevent or control the disease. Their review of more than … Continue reading →

I’m getting tired of people playing fast and loose with statistics

The New Neo Posted on April 23, 2020 by neoApril 23, 2020

Reading that title, you might say, “Oh yeah, neo? Get used to it, because it will always happen.” I know, I know. But with this COVID thing, it’s more obvious because nearly everyone is crunching numbers and opining. And that … Continue reading →

A figure we need to know…

The New Neo Posted on April 22, 2020 by neoApril 22, 2020

…is the percentage of COVID-19 deaths that involve very debilitated people in nursing homes. Some states are releasing those numbers, although even then they tend to not be easily accessible – for example, Minnesota, which Scott Johnson of Powerline writes … Continue reading →

Will New York be the comeback kid?

The New Neo Posted on April 21, 2020 by neoApril 21, 2020

One opinion in the NY Times: The very features that make New York attractive to businesses, workers and tourists — Broadway, the subway system, world-class restaurants, and innumerable cultural institutions — were among the hardest-hit in the pandemic. And they … Continue reading →

To ventilate or not to ventilate?

The New Neo Posted on April 18, 2020 by neoApril 18, 2020

That is the question – or at least a question, and a big one – that doctors treating COVID-19 face. Some say the usual protocols for ARDS (acute respiratory distress syndrome) should be followed. Some say no. And some say … Continue reading →

The second wave…

The New Neo Posted on April 17, 2020 by neoApril 17, 2020

…in Hokkaido. It stands to reason that there would be a second wave. This is especially true if the first one was clamped down so quickly – as in Hokkaido – that few people gained immunity. I trust the figures … Continue reading →

Old codgers with pre-existing conditions

The New Neo Posted on April 17, 2020 by neoApril 17, 2020

We keep reading that COVID-19 kills mostly the old and infirm. Except, from where I sit, a person doesn’t have to be so very old or infirm to be in those categories. Yes, the disease kills a lot of very … Continue reading →
