Ohio man, 60, who blasted COVID-19 lockdown as 'a political ploy' and said stay-at-home orders were 'b*****t' dies after contracting coronavirus
John W. McDaniel, 60, died on Wednesday at a hospital in Columbus, Ohio
On Facebook, McDaniel called the virus a 'political ploy' and told followers: 'Prove me wrong.'
He tested positive for the virus weeks later and died on April 15
McDaniel worked for 38 years for his family's industrial manufacturing company
His obituary says he battled cancer in the 1980s before he married his wife
It is unclear if he had underlying health conditions which might have led to his death.
Thousands protested in Ohio on Monday against the state's ongoing lockdown
Ohio has recorded 12,516 cases and has 491 deaths since the pandemic began
The state has a population of 11,689,100 and many feel the order is unnecessary
Mr McDaniel was the first person in his county to die from COVID-19
What does anecdotal evidence prove? Anecdotal evidence is a staple of propaganda. The CRF (case fatality rate) from COVID-19 in Ohio is 491/12,516=0.039229785874081 or 4% assuming the figures can be trusted. (If the number of cases goes up, the ratio of deaths goes down. It is not so simple to have all the cases counted.) If 4% died that means that 96% of the people with COVID-19 did not die.
The mortality rate in Ohio is 491/11,689,100=0.000042004944778 or .004%. An Ohioan is more likely to die of rabies from a chipmunk bite. The deceased Ohioan was 60-years-old. We don’t know if he had some pre-existing medical condition but we are told he “battled with cancer” in the 1980s. How do people “battle” with a disease? In my experience, people with cancer are never cured. What was his Vitamin D serum level? Did he smoke and drink? Did he exercise?
Do people die of the seasonal flu? Some do. How many? We don’t know how many because those statistics are used by politicians for various reasons each politician may have. I know first-hand about census statistics. They aren’t what people imagine. Saskatchewan’s statistics are all suspect. I know. I have looked closely at some of them. Even the provincial population is a political football.
Statistics are made with numbers. Numbers are counted. Everyone can count. Don't be bamboozled. Ask questions. When were these numbers collected? How were they collected? Who collected them? Why were they collected? What was included? What was not included? These things matter when people start using them to create laws and to divide and acquire the property. This is not quantum mechanics. This is arithmetic. Everyone can do this. Everyone has a calculator.
Is a lockdown required in Saskatchewan? Here’s what the Regina Leader-Post reported yesterday.

People who believe “We are all going to die!” are crazy! IT IS BULLSHIT. People in Saskatchewan have a serious problem and it is not COVID-19. Of course, they don't want to know about it.
Is Anthony Fauci “the Bernie Madoff of virology." Could be. I’ll have to review the allegations. The global lockdown is unwarranted in any case. Do I trust anything from Health Canada, the FDA, doctors, and the CDC? I don’t trust one word they say. I have ~70 years of reasons not to believe them. I definitely don’t believe anything on TV. I don't read newspapers either. Howard Beal in the movie Network said, “I’m as mad as Hell, and I’m not going to take this anymore!” You can do this!
The first rule in political science should be "Politicians lie." Politicians who are not capable liars don't get elected. That tells you why they lie and who is responsible.
