2/23/2021: Corona Myopia Psychosis Update by the Numbers

Introduction

I started working on this article two days ago, before hiking House Mountain for the 176th time on that Sunday afternoon, 2/21/2021. While hiking, I wondered if 2 people turned 21 on 2/21/2021. Get it? Mentally, playing around with numbers like that humors me.

I have decided on another effort to educate those who are still afflicted with Corona Myopia Psychosis, as I call it. We all have the psychosis. I do not have the myopia. Unfortunately, many still have the myopia. This article attempts to clear the myopia for those who still have it.

The Data (2/21/2021)

(1) TN State Government COVID-19 Unified Command (via https://experience.arcgis.com/experience/885e479b688b4750837ba1d291b85aed):

All end dates are Saturday. COVID-19 death totals are cumulative. I broke down the quarterly COVID-19 deaths.

TN 2020 COVID-19:
  01/05/2020 (Sun.) - 03/28/2020 (2020 1st quarter; 12 weeks): 6 dead.
    Notes:
      03/07/2020: 0 cases (the date the data started to show).
      03/21/2020: 1 dead (the first death that shows).

  06/27/2020 (2020 2nd quarter; 13 weeks): 584 dead – 6 = 578 new deaths.
    Note: 44.46 average deaths per week.

  09/26/2020 (2020 3rd quarter; 13 weeks): 2,374 dead – 578 = 1,796 new deaths.
    Note: 138.15 average deaths per week.

  12/26/2020 (2020 4th quarter; 13 weeks): 6,443 dead – 1,796 = 4,647 new deaths.
    Notes:
    357.46 average deaths per week.
    6,443 total 2020 deaths in 51 weeks = 126.33 average deaths per week.

TN 12/27/2020, Sunday, to 2/20/2021 COVID-19:
  8 full weeks: 11,115 dead – 4,647 = 6,468 new deaths.
    Notes:
      51 new deaths on 2/20/2021.
      808.50 average deaths per week.

TN 1/1/2021, Monday, to 2/20/2021 COVID-19:
  11,115 dead as of 2/20/21 – 6,907 dead as of 12/31/20 = 4,208 dead in 2021 so far.

TN 2021, as of 2/21/2021, 10:18 AM ET:
     9,578 non-COVID-19 deaths (so far; the number keeps increasing).
  + 4,208 COVID-19 deaths (so far).
     Notes: this is 2021 COVID-19 deaths: 11,064 on 2/19/21 + 51 on 2/20/21 = 11,115 so far.
     - 6,907 12/31/2020 cumulative total = 4,208 2021 COVID-19 deaths (as of Friday,
     12/20/21).
= 13,786 total 2021 TN deaths, as of 2/21/21, 10:18 AM ET.

This calculates: 30.05% of all TN 2021 deaths so far are from COVID-19.

(3) TN 2019 Total Deaths:
https://wonder.cdc.gov/controller/datarequest/D76;jsessionid=311A2150206900156684CFE45AB8
2019 total TN deaths: 71,935

For the life of me, I could not find the 2020 TN total death number. It is not there yet.

Observations from the Data (2/23/2021)

First, the average COVID-19 deaths per week are continuing to increase. The “mitigation” efforts either are hogwash and are not working or are saving the lives of countless others, who could have been included in the death totals. I suspect hogwash. I will not reference the valid science that refutes the pseudoscience, which the socialist propagandists use. The true science does refute the false science.

Second, the propagandists have won. The Ununited Socialist States of America (USSA) is, as of 1/6/2021, an official “socialist utopia.”

Finally, as previously stated, I hiked House Mountain for the 176th time last Sunday afternoon. See yesterday's article. Why did I start this article? Why does anyone care about the new cold virus numbers anymore? I don't know, unless it fits the socialist propagandists' agenda. They won. The historical USA lost. Several of us, not the majority, apparently, still stand, as once free people, in a once free and great nation.

Conclusion

As of about 5:22 PM today, Mrs. Appalachian Irishman, Molly (our “old puppy”), and I are still “livin' la vida Rona!” It ain't fun. We endure.

Keep on enduring in the former USA, my friends! I may have another article on “polyticks” in a day or so. Please wait for it.
