Corona Flu = ICD U07.1
First up, Brandi sent this photo over this morning, of Landon and Jack checking in to his online school class.
Looks like Jack is just as interested as Landon.
I had originally planned to take a KungFlu break in today’s blog, but a lot of new stuff came out overnight.
In yesterday’s blog, I talked about all the problems I saw with the modeling being used to predict the spread of the CCP (Chinese Communist Party – new acronym) Flu, and how in the last week or so, the number of deaths forecast had gone from 2.2 – 2.7 million deaths in the U.S. down to 100,000 – 240,000 deaths, mentioned as late as yesterday.
But today the model(ers) came up with a new number, 81,766, but maybe as few as 49,156. Besides the strange exactness of the new numbers compared to the old ones, what no one seems to mention is that this is pretty much the number of U.S. deaths due to the seasonal flu during the 2018-2019 season.
And don’t think that this drop is due to all the ‘mitigation’ that’s been done, i.e., businesses closed and people out of work. The 2.2 million and the 240,000 number were all based with taking the mitigation into account, I.e. they were the ‘best case’ numbers.
And just remember what Dr. Birx said about the models on Saturday:
“Just to be clear, we won’t know how valid the models are until we move all the way through the epidemic,” she said.
So she’s saying that we won’t know how accurate the models are until the epidemic is over.
Well, they do say that ‘Hindsight is 20/20’.
Another thing to notice is that according to the CDC, since the inception of the WuFlu, the deaths from the seasonal flu have dropped precipitously. So has the KungFlu replaced the seasonal flu, or are some supposed CoronaFlu cases been mistaken for the seasonal version?
Think this is not possible? Well, check out this memo from the National Center for Health Statistics instructing doctors and hospital how to handle possible KungFlu cases/deaths.
First off, they designate a new ICD code, U07.1, and then in the last paragraph they say
‘COVID-19 should be reported on the death certificate for all decedents where the disease caused or is assumed to have caused or contributed to death.’
They go on to say that a confirmed virus test is not necessary. So how many people are actually dying from the seasonal flu and not Corona?
This leads to the governor of Connecticut announcing the death last week of a six-week old baby from the WuFlu, supposedly the youngest victim so far. And yes, the baby did test positive for the Virus. But a little further research shows the baby actually was accidently suffocated by the babysitter/nanny, probably by rolling over on the baby while napping.
Wrapping up, tomorrow I plan on running over to our nearby Home Depot to pick up a 4’ x 8’ sheet of pressure-treated plywood to make the base for our new shed. I’m also going to pick up couple of pieces of flat steel bar to use on the shed flooring to bolt it to the plywood.
I’ve already got the screw-in anchors and canvas strapping that I’ll use to strap the plywood to the ground. So hopefully in the next couple of days, we can start moving stuff into it.

Thought For The Day:
Remember when we had to smack the TV because the channel wasn’t coming in clearly? Don’t you wish that work as well with some people?
