William James once intoned (I’m paraphrasing) that most people think they are thinking, when they are actually just rearranging their prejudices.

We have had a “masterclass” in mass delusion and playing hopscotch with prejudices through the COVID cacophony and confusion.

A report stridently blares out, as pointed out by AIER, supermarkets are the primary location in which to catch COVID. Ye gads! Even there we’re not safe! Actually, it’s a blatant distortion brought about by “conflating.”

The UK’s Test and Trace App found that within an identified “six” (you read that right) days of November, of those who tested “positive” (which, yet again, is NOT the same as “catching COVID” given the glorious unreliability of the prevailing testing regime), a towering 18.3% had also visited a supermarket! I wonder what percentage used a commode or drank water?

Let us also cheerily remind ourselves that this is a resoundingly mild virus for 99.8% of the population, with an infection fatality rate of around 0.05% for those under 70. So, the relevance of all this “tracking” and “tracing” is somewhat elusive as well.

The once grand paper of record, The NY Times, is today on this among other topics, a veritable fount of misinformation. It blared forth that States with fewest restrictions now had the worst “outbreaks.” The last word needs attention, as they cutely (or not) shifted the metric from “deaths” (which in no way lends itself to this conclusion) to “cases” (or rather “positive tests”) a.k.a. now “outbreaks.” Then, if you do this, it’s important to realize the worst hit on the East Coast were hardly doing massive testing when bearing the initial brunt. Then tests became widely available, and we manically started testing the healthy! This then gives you high “positives” particularly among small populations.

The NY Times is particularly skilled at skewering the truth through bizarre headlines. Speaking of the Rapid Antigen Tests being promoted by outlier “quack” institutions — you know like Harvard and Yale — and endorsed by WHO and CDC, the headline sounds definitive,
