The Version 6.0 global average lower tropospheric temperature (LT) anomaly for June, 2020 was +0.43 deg. C, down from the May, 2020 value of +0.54 deg. C.

The linear warming trend since January, 1979 is +0.14 C/decade (+0.12 C/decade over the global-averaged oceans, and +0.18 C/decade over global-averaged land).

Various regional LT departures from the 30-year (1981-2010) average for the last 18 months are:

“Vast majority of patients are better within 2-3 days and would be described as “having a cold (a mild one at that) or symptoms related to allergies.”

__________

Former NY Times reporter Alex Berenson exposes the real reason for the spike in Coronavirus ‘cases.’

JB Neiman, a Managing Partner and General Counsel of a Texas-based company that owns 13 free-standing ER clinics, contacted Berenson to tell him what is really going on. Neiman explained that in June, his clinics tested over 2,231 patients and saw a COVID-19 positive test rate close to 20% (was 4-6% positive in May).

The executive pointed out that the “vast majority of the cases are mild to very mild symptoms.” (or asymptomatic)

• More testing kits means they are able to test a broader group of patients.
• Clinically, they’ve had “very few hospital transfers because of COVID.”
• Vast majority of patients are better within 2-3 days and would be described as “having a cold (a mild one at that) or symptoms related to allergies.
• Most patients are given a steroid shot and antibiotics and by the time they have follow-up calls, the patients are no longer experiencing any symptoms.
• Roughly half have been told by their employer to get a test — if they have a sneeze or a cough, their employer tells them to go home and get tested.
• The other half just want to know if they have COVID (some have mild symptoms and some have no symptoms).
• In reality, the hospital ICUs are filled with really sick people with NON-COVID issues. They didn’t come in earlier because they were scared and now they are SUPER SICK.

And according to Berenson, from multiple sources at different hospitals: They have plenty of capacity and no shortage of acute care beds.

Discharge planners are being pressured to put COVID as primary diagnosis because it pays significantly better, according to JB Neiman.

Neiman concluded: “… the fatality rate is less that commonly reported.”

29 June 2020 – Kills livestock, strands motorists

.
Herdsmen in Tekes County, northwest China’s Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region have endured heavy losses after Monday’s blizzard froze to death almost 500 livestock animals across the county. (Video shows just-shorn sheep killed by the cold.)

The snow also disrupted traffic in Nilka County of Ili Kazak Autonomous Prefecture. Over 400 tourists in 130 vehicles were stranded either in the Tangbra Mountain or on the Dushanzi-Kuche Highway, which runs through the Tianshan Mountain from its south end to north end.

“…more than 1,200 inmates no deaths. Can you calculate the percentage?”
_______________

Be aware! Danger! …. Really??????

Adoni

My wife is RN in a prison infirmary and she is in charge of testing the inmates that come from another facility or hospital and all that claim any symptoms. Most of the results come positive.

The inmates live in close contact, no masks, sleep 50 people per dorm, and many have serious underlying medical conditions (cancer, diabetes,compromised immune system…) NONE had serious illness, and the only one sent to the hospital with pneumonia tested negative, but after 3 weeks in the hospital returned healthy and tested positive.

So, out of more than 1,200 inmates no deaths. Can you calculate the percentage?

Oh, I forgot about the medical and administrative personnel and the security people. Another few hundred….

The same with the ~800 members of our congregation.

COVID-19 is a very serious problem. Be aware! Danger! …. Really??????
