With all the media attention around some of the provinces lifting the bands on masks and other COVID protocols, there seem to be those who say this is dangerous and irresponsible, I am sure you have heard it from Theresa Tam. So, I thought I would do some digging into some data and this is what I found. Data that is freely available to anyone, so this can all be fact-checked (link below)If you compare death rates for any given year in Alberta, with the death rates from Covid thus far in 2021 and use some simple trending formulas, one can clearly see, COVID is not even on the map where one could consider it a concern.
One could even argue, why the lockdown took place at all with numbers like these. comparisons This is why I have been saying we have a casedemic and nothing more. As more time goes by, and more data is released, people who take the time and effort to actually crunch numbers will see what a complete farce this has all been with tragic results to so many aspects of the public.https://www.alberta.ca/stats/covid-19-alberta-statistics.htm
As a naturally curious person with an analytical mindset, I have found myself drawn to the complexities of data presentation and the impact it has on our decision-making processes. I am particularly intrigued by the potential for mismatched framing to mislead in areas as diverse as health, politics, and finance. Beyond the desire to access accurate information, I believe in the importance of clear communication and aim to help others grasp the nuances of absolute and relative risks.
Continual learning is a cornerstone of my philosophy, and I strive to stay updated with current events. This is reflected in my active participation in discussions on various topics, ranging from the pharmaceutical industry to the global response to the COVID-19 pandemic. My hope is that my ability to think critically and commitment to uncovering the truth can offer something of value to readers.
Please note that while I strive for accuracy and clarity, I'm always open to other perspectives and willing to engage in respectful discourse to broaden my understanding and appreciation of the complexities around us.
