Note to Steve Kirsch
on masking and death protocols
I can’t afford yours, Mr Kirsch, but here’s mine, from ‘back to school’ last September, with apologies to the Rangers:
So let no one suppose that I never wear a mask. I’ve worn one (off and on) much of my life. They stop pucks, though the chin guard isn’t good for much.
But speaking of Grandma, may I recommend my wife’s C2C article, Who Killed Granny? It’s all business and no frivolity, given the seriousness of the subject, but I think you’ll find it interesting. No apologies to New York there.
Douglas, I was wondering if Anna was related when I read her article. Mystery solved. Her investigation is an excellent resource for several reasons; I have referenced it in several contexts, one of which was in recent discussion with a physician friend of mine when he referred to "the pandemic" and I asked if he thought we'd hit the lower mortality threshold with Covid to qualify as a pandemic, after taking account of the 80%+ LTCF mortality. (This is not to trivialize the central point of the Who Killed Granny? article, but that detail was helpful in our conversation.) It was a point well received. He shoots, he scores! Thank-you muchly for your great writing and freely sharing with the world, Douglas.
Only one of those masks is useful...
