News of Day: August 4, 2021

1. Covid. Interesting data buried in the UK reports. The mortality rate from the delta variant for the unvaccinated is more than ten times lower than the mortality rate from the original Covid19. For the unvaccinated, the case fatality rate from the Delta variant is about 1 in 1000, and that includes the infirm and the health-vulnerable populations Covid continues to mostly impact. Of note, the vaccinated appeared to be less likely to get Covid, but of those that did, their mortality rate was actually higher than the unvaccinated in this data set. https://assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/1001358/Variants_of_Concern_VOC_Technical_Briefing_18.pdf

2. Legal. The Canadian case that went viral does not appear to be what some thought it was. It appears a defendant fighting a covid-based fine served a subpoena on the government, but appears to have served it incorrectly. This led to a response of nothing to respond to, which the defendant misinterpreted as meaning no evidence existed that he had subpoenaed. The defendant then misinterpreted that to mean "the end" of all covid restrictions in the Alberta province. Unfortunately, it's likely just a case of a mis-served subpoena.

3. Economic. The infrastructure bill is trimmed down to less than Trump recommended. It includes about $550 billion in new spending, and that is spread out over 5 years; a $100B/year infrastructure spending will have little impact on a $23T economy. All the various Democratic goodies have been slowly and steadily stripped from the bill, as forecast by Baris & I. https://www.cnet.com/personal-finance/whats-really-inside-the-1-trillion-infrastructure-bill-heres-what-we-know-so-far/

4. Political. Even the left continues to concede Newsom's weakness, and the reasons for it -- the lockdowns, mask mandates, school closures, and other public health strategies Newsom led with Cuomo over the last year. https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/poll-finds-support-for-gavin-newsom-recall-increased-over-past-2-weeks-are-mask-mandates-to-blame/ar-AAMTlt8?pfr=1

5. Cultural. Hollywood's disconnect from its fan base continues to haunt its box office, as most of their big releases, especially from woke Disney, look to lose $, and some as much as $100M+. Lebron James, king of woke celebrities, will see a $100M+ loss for his version of Space Jam. https://ombreviews.com/box-office-tracking/

Bonus News: Cuomo caught red-handed, and his defense was showing photos of Bill Clinton & Joe Biden being handsy!

Interesting update on Marion‘s swollen hands

Posted a picture of her hands yesterday after getting bitten by some bugs on the beach.

She was doing research on histamine activation, and discovered something very interesting, dietary related:

We came across information about kimchi and fermented foods causing high histamine levels. Apparently your “mast cells become primed” for a histamine response.

She recently started consuming a lot of kimchi (no, it doesn’t cause a lot of gas. I lost a bet on that one :-)

But she is thinking now that the consumption of kimchi exacerbated the reaction to the bug bites.

Paraphrasing from her summary somewhat: “kimchi is a fermented food that contains substantial amounts of histamine. When you eat it, you are ingesting histamine that may be absorbed. If you consume enough, your overall histamine burden may be temporarily higher. Then, if you get a bug bite, your body produces its own histamine, thus exacerbating the reaction”.

Now you know!

Her hands still look like a little fat kids, but they...

I. THE INTRODUCTION

*Note: Limited tickets available. 1776lawcenter.com

A. Art of the Day

  • The blue heron showed up outside my rental home here in upstate New York, my totem according to some native tribal traditions. The totem represents your spirit animal, your analogue in the animal world. A few common tidbits of this totem as “heron medicine” — know yourself to uncover your gifts and discover your limits; follow your intuition; embrace self-reliance and feel free to be your own, unafraid of the challenges that come to the nonconformist; be a place for unique wisdom, expressing the best of that most American spirit — independence.

    “She’ll be riding 7 white horses when she comes, when she comes.

  • The colorful, blurry, swimming-in-the-mind sense of a jazz cafe, balanced blissfully against the cacophony of conversation in the drum beat of the street surrounding, the blending of indoors and outdoors, the real and the surreal, the deeply honest and flagrantly fake, the warm cafe amidst the cold streets, with hope still stirring amidst. 
 
B. Wisdom of the Day
