16 kids in Oklahoma currently hospitalized with* COVID. But how many are there because of COVID?

Posted on      by     

Here are COVID hospitalization numbers for adults and children in OK over the past 14 days. Dates are in descending order, beginning with 12/26. Not a whole lot going on throughout December, despite the spectre of Omicron, which appears to be the “common cold” version of COVID:

But how many of these people are at the hospital because of COVID? Let’s take a look at a surprisingly honest admission made this week by the Oklahoma State Department of Health, in their latest epidemiology report. Look closely: For 12-24 year-olds, over 70% of “COVID” hospitalizations are secondary, meaning that those patients were hospitalized for an entirely different reason, and probably only tested positive upon arrival. For 5-11 year-olds, 60.2% are secondary. That percentage predictably decreases as the age of the patient increases. We know that COVID complications increase markedly as age increases. These percentages can surely be transposed onto death rates as well. How many Okie kids or young adults actually died of COVID? I’d say slim to none. We need an audit.

Chicago falls to bio fascism

‘Fascism’ isn’t even the right word for this though. This is far worse, containing a psychological element that other incarnations of authoritarianism have lacked for the most part. This is a rebirth of the religion of the State, a far older phenomenon than the fascism and communisim of the twentieth century, and its appearance feels inevitable, the final crisis of a culture whose moral and intellectual underpinnings have long ago rotted away to nothing. The value of freedom is taught nowhere, children and adults are herded through conveyer-belt schools, conveyer belt careers, with no true knowledge or virtue imparted, and when a crisis of this magnitude erupts from beneath their feet, they have no framework through which to understand it or mount a defense.
