  1. TN average daily Covid deaths:

    We're back up approaching the ranges during the worst days, but nobody seems to really notice much.  Guess because Omicron is so much less lethal, it could be so much worse if we were still mainly facing Delta, or some such sentiment.

    State health dept has made a change, and I don't know exactly what that entails. As of 2/5/22, they ceased daily
    totals in the main database available, and are now just posting a running "last week" daily average (which is 65, but only for "Weekly Summary: 01/30/22 - 02/05/22". So in short, dunno if data is going to be precisely available for entire month from here on out, we'll see.

    (2020)
    March      0.7  (first death 3/21/20 but averaged over entire month)
    April      5.8
    May        5.3
    June       8.0
    July      14.7

    Dec       50.4 *
    (2022)    
    Jan       60.6

    total TN deaths thru 2/5/22: 23,029

    * TDH announced that the State Medical Examiner had determined that 2,499
    deaths where Covid-19 was listed on death certificate as a contributing
    cause of death should be added to the TDH total. The bulk of those (2174)
    were added today (12/22/21).
    So for the 22nd, I only used the average of the other 30 days of the month.
    (No mention of when/if the remaining 325 deaths were added, so really, the
    Dec stat is overall a bit more "iffy" than usual.

  2. See note regarding Dec totals at end. The Tennessee Medical Examiner threw a curve into things:

  3. Federal (or TN) law has not changed in that regard.

    As ever, you must not "know or have reasonable cause to believe" the buyer is a prohibited person (for all the various reasons). If it can be proven you violated that, certainly you can spend some significant prison time and big fine.

    No BOS required, although many sellers prefer that.

    I'm a right leaning centrist, and an American patriot -- and would fight to prove it.

    Though seems if it comes to that, I'll have to be shooting in more than one direction,

    I heard a interview with Wayne Allyn Root, and he said he got sick and used Ivermectin and within 24 hours felt fine.

    Well, that's certainly conclusive.

    Roosters believe they cause the sun to rise. After all,  somewhere one is always crowing at daybreak.

  7. The good news for November: daily death average still falling since latest surge max in September

    Bad news: more deaths in last two days of month than in any full week, and more even than that in first two days of Dec, so that doesn't seem to bode well.

    Yes, that's been well known for decades. I don't know of any actors of that era who used their real birth names, ....

    Henry Fonda, Clark Gable, Jimmy Stewart, James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Marlon Brando, Humphrey Bogart, Gary Cooper, Gregory Peck, too many more to mention. Matter of fact, seems most of the male top stars of the 30s-60's went by their birth names.

    He had cancer and parkinson's and was 84.   Even a lesser case was enough.

    Dunno how long he'd had the multiple myeloma, but it's basically a  6ish year death sentence, with plenty of misery on the journey -- and yes both the disease and the treatment make you uber vulnerable to all types of infections that most folks even of the same age would just shrug off.

    (My dad died of it, and actually lasted about 8 years from diagnosis).

  11. Looks like we may have peaked on this wave last month.  Small consolation to those and the loved ones of those who are still croaking daily, eh?

    My view, all of the stuff I read about WLP came from the same media that I do not trust anyway.  ...

    Which was originally exposed by Oliver North and Chris Cox (among other board members serving at that time), after they gave Wayne a chance to resign before revealing; of course I give North and Cox beacoup more credence than Wayne baby.

    But Wayne was able to pull together enough of a coalition among other board members who can be summed up, as LBJ once stated, "I never trust a man unless  I've got his pecker in my pocket."

    I'm betting you're right. There have been some bugs floating around that aren't Covid. I got a pretty good one. Actually had to upgrade to Wild Turkey 101 in my hot toddies to cut through the crud.

    Well hell, one could even contract covid itself and get the vax before symptoms show. It takes a while for the vax to kick in, and I don't think there's valid research to show whether it actually can help cure a current case or not.

    The state’s policy is also unclear.  You’ve likely seen it reported this week that the state is trying to restrict access to people who are vaccinated but get breakthrough cases to try to reserve the supplies we do have for sicker, unvaccinated folks.

    Ethics aside, that policy is causing a lot of confusion at the individual provider level.

    Currently the official policy recommendation and getting coverage on national gnus. Just one coverage out of many for anyone who didn't already know:
