So \u2026 I had personally calculated on April 12 that the COVID Pandemic will end on May 29, 2021. I was bored and decided to Math.<\/p>\n
I have told family, friends, and co-workers. Not an aggressive discussion or proclamation \u2013 just using a little math and predictive analytics. How? Math with Vaccination Rates (daily number of vaccinations), Infection %s (how much of the population has had it), Death rates, Positive Counts\/Rate\/decline percentages, etc. Taking all of this into account at that time, I was pretty confident that things (Pandemic) would end on that day. I had actually said “47 days – it’s done”.<\/p>\n
Now \u2013 problem is, according to various authorities, it is still unclear as to what defines it being \u2018over\u2019. And I don\u2019t have a definition, either. I think we could debate that all night. Back then, I was kind of thinking \u201cno masks\u201d would be a good indicator; however, it seems every state has it\u2019s own understanding of the CDC’s directives, WHO, and OSHA. Leadership in the US has been better on the pandemic since Trump became a one-termer; however, can someone step it up and define the end? It always baffles me how leadership (Red or Blue) seems to be such idiots on PLANNING and GOALS. Too much conflict\/opinion …<\/p>\n
At this point \u2013 I stand by my math and projections. By the 29th<\/sup>, we will see all businesses mask free. We will see \u2018social distancing\u2019 and restrictive efforts gone. Things will be completely open \u2013 at least in the US. Which \u2013 by definition, is sketchy as to whether it will be the end of a pandemic or now just an epidemic. I think if one looks beyond the US, we could still [technically] be in a pandemic (cross-regional infections) \u2026 but I\u2019m thinking relatively local. The fact of the matter is \u2013 the vaccines work. No rocket surgery here. But I digress \u2013 and don\u2019t want to get \u2018political\u2019 (it\u2019s sad that science is up against social differences\/opinions \u2013 it really is).<\/p>\n What my point is \u2013 I think there will be a lot of Masks and Sanitizer on sale in the latter half of this year. Either that, or a rage trend of Mask Quilts. Can’t wait, frankly.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So \u2026 I had personally calculated on April 12 that the COVID Pandemic will end on May 29, 2021.
