" Strike Two " : A Pediatrician ' s " Dance " with Alan Levine/Ballad Health - And WHY We Need Federal Medical Whistle-blower Protection For ALL Healthcare " Workers " NOW
This is the story of how government failed me as a Pediatrician - for the second time.  The saddest thing of all is that there is a " Strike Three " .  Nobody cares about Pediatrics - or Pediatricians.  They haven ' t for a very long time.  This is a long post.  Don ' t whine about it.  Read it. CARE that somebody trying to stand up for your children lived it - and not for the first time.Twenty-two years ago, the morally-bankrupt executives of my now fiscally-bankrupt hometown hospital (in Asheboro, North Carolina) railroaded me out of town . . . after I intervened in a nursery case being...

Distinguishing Home ‐​Grown Inflation from Global Inflation
Alan ReynoldsEach country imagines inflation to be anational problem to be entirely blamed on national fiscal authorities or on each nation ' s central bank. Yet March CPI inflation averaged 8.8% for all 38 countries in theOECD, and 7.8% for the 27 EU countries.Economists at the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco, in theFRBSF Economic Letter, ask a narrower question: "Why is U.S. Inflation Higher Than in Other Countries?"  They first begin by acknowledging that there have been some uniquely huge global events driving world pricesdownin 2020 (COVID-19 lockdowns causing long-term loss of productive capacity) and other po...

The Misleading Arithmetic of COVID-19 Death Rates
Alan ReynoldsAssuming the number of people who have reportedly died from COVID-19 is reasonably accurate, then the percentage of infected people who die from the disease (the death rate) must surely have beenmuch lower than the 2 –3% estimates commonly reported. That is because the number of infected people is much larger than the number tested and reported.The triangle graph, from a  February 10 study fromImperial College London, shows that most people infected by COVID-19 are never counted as being infected. That is because, the Imperial College study explains, “the bottom of the pyramid represents the likely larges...

COVID-19 Deaths and Incredible WHO Estimates
Alan Reynolds“Death Toll Hits 9 as Outbreak Spreads, ” was the scaryWall Street Journalheadline in print before it was toned downonline. COVID-19 deaths at a nursing home and hospital in Washington state were unrelated to the virusspreading“across the U.S.” The facts tell us much more about the exceptionally high risks of fatal infection from COVID-19 (or pneumonia or flu) among elderly people living close together in nursing homes or hospitals, many of them already sick.The ongoing COPD-19 outbreak in Kirkland Washington at the Life Care nursing home and Evergreen hospital represents high ‐​risk...

Tracking the White House ’s Favorite Epidemic Curve
Alan ReynoldsNew York Governor Cuomo recently said he thinks New York City deaths from COVID-19 may be near an “apex.” White House advisers Dr. Deborah Birx and Dr. Anthony Fauci refer to the same phenomenon as a “peak” or flattening of the bell‐​shaped epidemic curve. ­When we reach that peak, daily reports on the number of coronavirus deaths should stop doubling every five days (from 661 March 31 to 1212 on April 5) and instead begin to level off and then decline.Governor Cuomo and the White House team share the same expectation that we ’re nearing a peak because they share the admirably transparent ...

The COVID-19 Data We Have May Not Be The Data We Need
Alan ReynoldsCOVID-19 statistics that are easiest for reporters to find and explain are often the ones we keep hearing about in daily news reports. A  perennial favorite is theJohn Hopkins University graphical database which is constantly updated to add up the cumulative number of “confirmed” cases, deaths and recoveries since January 21 for separate countries and the world.To switch the focus from these familiar multi ‐​month totals to what is happening now, however, I built this simple graph of daily new deaths and daily new confirmed cases. It does suggest recent flattening, though professional optimism abou...

Did Mitigation Save Two Million Lives?
Alan ReynoldsIn the April 16 White House briefing, President Trump again said, as he often has before, that “models predicted between 1.5 and 2.2 million deaths” if we had not endured the various economic shutdowns imposed by the Governors of 42 States. The severity and breadth of those statewide shutdowns was initially encouraged, and is now justified, by just one dramatic statistic. That number was the 2.2 million U.S. deaths supposedly at risk from COVID-19.The famed 2.2 million estimate first reached viral status in the March 31 White House briefing by Doctors Anthony Fauci and Deborah Birx. They displayed a  grap...

How One Model Simulated 2.2 Million U.S. Deaths from COVID-19
Alan ReynoldsWhen it came to dealing with an unexpected surge in infections and deaths from SARS-CoV-2 (the virus causing COVID-19 symptoms), federal and state policymakers understandably sought guidance from competing epidemiological computer models. On March 16, a 20-page report from Neil Ferguson ' s team at Imperial College London quickly gathered enormous attention by producing enormous death estimates. Dr. Ferguson had previously publicized almost equallysensational death estimates from mad cow disease, bird flu and swine flu.The New York Times quickly ran the hot news about this new COVID-19 estimate:The report, whi...

Why OTHER Respiratory Viruses are More Important than Ever Before
Video Transcript Hi, I’m Dr. Alan Greene and I want to talk with you for a moment about why other respiratory viruses are more important during the time of COVID than ever before — at least in our lifetimes.   00:15 In San Francisco, one of the first areas where COVID was emerging in the United States, even though many people were tested for COVID, with COVID symptoms – fever, cough, shortness of breath, other respiratory symptoms — of the people tested at UCSF more than 90 percent of them turned out to have other respiratory infections — not COVID. 00:42 Think [about] what that means for th...

Are Surging State COVID-19 Cases Due to Early Reopening?
Alan Reynolds"How Coronavirus Cases Have Risen Since States Reopened" inThe New York Times July 9 claimed, " Florida and South Carolina were among the first to open up and are now among the states leading the current surge. In contrast, the states that bore the brunt of cases in March and April but were slower to reopen have seen significant decreases in reported cases since. Average daily cases in New York are down 52 percent since it reopened in late May and down 83 percent in Massachusetts " (which reopened May 18).The purpose of this note is to question whether or not it is accurate to simply attribute the " current ...
