⬇️⬇️⬇️ The "Math" of Fear

As it is Thursday, I have a post for you today in anticipation of Gov. DeWine's new Maps of Fear which he has tried to phase in. I have previously discussed both the new red and blue maps and their issues -

 - but today I hope to illustrate even more clearly what level of manipulation is going on, particularly with the new blue 'ICU Utilization' map.
Attached I have two images.

The first is a hyper-simplistic (and unrealistic) but illustrative example of the calculations that the new blue map goes through to arrive at its numbers.
Instead of telling us the percent of beds occupied by COVID+ (not necessarily ill *with* COVID, but testing positive) - the governor and ODH only calculates the percentage of COVID+ out of just the *used* beds.
In the first image, I have an example of a 100 bed ICU with just two patients - one COVID positive (red) and one COVID negative (green). The other 98 beds are empty and able to accept new patients.
⭐️ Normal people would look at this situation and say that 1% of the beds in the ICU are being used by COVID positive patients.

But that's not how Gov. DeWine would present this situation to us. Instead of looking at the total available beds, they look only at the beds in use.
⭐️ In this example, there are only 2 beds *in use.* 1 of those is occupied by a COVID positive patient, making the 'ICU utilization' as defined by Gov. DeWine and ODH *50% instead of 1%.*
And if that green COVID neg patient were to be discharged and only the COVID positive patient remained, the COVID ICU utilization would be *100%* despite 99% of beds in the ICU still being available to accept patients. Now this is, again, a very extreme example and unrealistic.
In the second image, however, I illustrate the same concept with the real numbers for Region 8 (southeast Ohio). Southeast Ohio has been called out week after week now for having very high 'ICU bed utilization,' but what does that mean in real numbers?
Over the (probable) 7 days that today's blue map will be made from, there was an average of ~80 total ICU beds in the region. On average, ~29 were occupied by COVID positive patients, and ~31 by COVID negative patients, with ~20 beds empty.
⭐️For those of us using 'normal' math, we would say that 29 out of 80 beds are occupied by COVID positive patients, or 36.3%.
⭐️But using Gov. DeWine's Math of Fear, our denominator is only 60 (29+31). Meaning that his equation becomes 29 out of 60 beds are occupied by COVID positive patients, or 48.3% instead of 36.3%!

By manipulating the numbers, they have increased the real percentage by a third.
Not only does it artificially increase the apparent usage, it also creates perverse incentives (like so many of his metrics). The fewer non-COVID patients are using the ICU beds, the worse the COVID numbers look.
The worse the COVID numbers look, the more scared people will be to use the hospitals for those other procedures potentially leading to even lower non-COVID usage. Conversely, the more people using the ICU beds for other reasons, the *less used* it looks.
The games need to stop.
Note: For simplicity, I rounded the beds and the people to whole numbers so I wouldn't have to chop them in pieces for the illustration, so the specific % calculated here might be slightly off of what Gov. DeWine presents later today. But these are the real numbers for Region 8.

Loops and their multiplication groups

A thread in 15 parts

(0/15)

Recall that a quasigroup (Q,*) is a set Q with a binary operation * such that for each a,b in Q, the equations a*x=b and y*a=b have unique solutions x,y. Groups are quasigroups and this property is usually one of the first things proved in elementary group theory.

(1/15)

Note that we don't assume associativity of *!

A loop is a quasigroup with an identity element. The story of why they are called loops is an interesting one and may even be true, but I will save it for another day. I am going to focus on loops in this thread.

(2/15)

Natural examples of nonassociative loops:
- The nonzero octonions under multiplication
- The sphere S^7 under octonion multiplication
- I have discussed other examples


For each x in a loop Q, define the left & right translations L_x, R_x : Q->Q by L_x(y)=xy and R_x(y)=yx. These mappings are permutations of Q. The composition L_x L_y of two left translations is not necessarily a left translation because Q is not necessarily associative.

IS HISTORY ALL TRUE SERIES: when even the #Calendar isn’t❓

THE REAL ACTUAL SOLAR CALENDAR:
*Based on the noble science of #Astronomy; the sister science to #Geometry, #Mathematics and the “almost” lost numerical science mysteries. Which was mastered in

“ancient” times, but is close to forgotten, in these “modern” days. Go figure❗️😄☦️

Navigation of the oceans was man’s first real great step of personal evolution, here on earth. The earliest of discovered sciences; #astronomy; allowed men to navigate through

routes to known territories; or to discover new ones, by the endlessly reliable positions of the stars and constellations, in the night sky. Hence; much diligent study, over who knows how many epochs, and great civilizations; was an esteemed scholarly pursuit. And led to a vast

understanding of the mechanics of our solar system, as well as the natural cycles of our planet, that even we; in this so-called Information Age “high civilization, don’t often know even exists any longer. A decay of common knowledge, in our “modern” educations, actually.

#Calendars have come and gone In the last few thousand years; motivated apparently by the politics of the day, or personal whim even, by the rulers of the moment; which somehow stuck, from there, and has hardly ever been questioned again.

@DesmondSwayne Sir Desmond is right. SAGE makes mathematical predictions based on flawed models.
I chose to stick my neck out almost 4mo ago here:
https://t.co/b0rT5Lq9HI
I experienced much anxiety doing this, aware that, if I was badly wrong here, I would be destroyed as a contributor.

That said, I thought the immunology so clear that I made three, specific & testable predictions which should apply if I was right.
Please examine them, on the right, under the pie chart:


In particular, I predicted that the epidemic would not reignite in London. Obviously, we have many “cases” but I urge people to disregard these & instead to look at excess deaths, on the principle that a severe (occasionally lethal) respiratory virus would show itself this way.

Here is a chart showing the trend of deaths in London alone over recent years. A prominent peak of deaths is evident as the virus swept through in spring. Also visible the August heatwave. But there are no excess deaths now.
I submit this is a striking example of herd immunity.


I’m still waiting for SAGE or indeed anyone to provide an alternative explanation for the sharp nature of the spring excess deaths peak which doesn’t involve herd immunity or otherwise removing from the pool those vulnerable to lethal outcomes (same result). Given this sharp...

Saharon Shelah and number 4, a thread.

Shelah is an incredibly prolific mathematician working mostly in mathematical logic who has (co-)authored around 1500 papers so far. His other superpower is the ability to discover number 4 where it has absolutely no reason to be. 1/32


Example 1. "There are just 4 second order quantifiers".
In first-order logic, one is allowed to form statements about structures, such as graphs, groups, fields,
etc., with only quantification over elements allowed. 2/32

So you can say "exists x, ..." or "for all x, ..." with x ranging over the elements of the structure M, but you can't say "for all subsets of M, ..." or "for all binary relations on M, ...", etc. Allowing such
quantifiers puts us in the context of _second order logic_. 3/32

It was well-known in logic and computer science that one can express more complicated properties by quantifying over binary relations on M rather than just over the unary ones. But can we say even more quantifying over ternary relations? 4/32

And how does this compare to quantifying over functions, bijections, or any other infinitely many possible types of relations on M one can think of? In his 1973 paper Shelah proved that there are exactly 4 (four) possible types of second order quantifiers. 5/32

Algebra 1 and pre-algebra worksheets are something that all would love to have been able to dominate in high school. Sometimes they do not dominate it there and that's when it could be a bit difficult.


But after learning and doing problems of algebra and pre-Algebra and worksheets online, it will no longer be a problem. There are many cases in all the life of a person where they have to learn.

A brief thread on Jovan Hutton Pulitzer, the crazy con man who is now claiming to have hacked into the Georgia voting machines in Fulton County. 90s kids and tech aficionados might remember Jovan as the inventor of the CueCat, the dumbest gadget of all time.

Also, for anyone who wants to claim that Jovan Hutton Pulitzer (not his given name, but one he changed legally after the CueCat debacle) invented QR Codes: he did not. Like that other right-wing crazy man who claimed to have invented email, Jovan didn’t invent QR Codes.

He did invent the CueCat, a product that somehow raised $185 million dollars for a tethered barcode scanner for magazines and newspapers, so you could get ads from your ads. As I said, the dumbest product of all time. Good backup barcode scanners after they were hacked, however

Oh, that’s another thing. When CueCat was a thing, its systems were hacked. I guess that’s what makes Jovan a security expert. His bankrupt company from 20 years ago was hacked and widely mocked. He’s a genius.

In recent years, Jovan pivoted to being a treasure hunter who was featured on and widely mocked on Curse of Oak Island, because the man is insane.

Guruvayur Sri Krishna & Coconut with Horns.
#Krishnaleela
#Bhakthi
🕉
We’ve all grown up listening to stories of Shri Krishna. This one is a famous story of Shri Krishna in Guruvayur Temple, also called Dakshina Dwaraka.


There lived a villager who planted coconut saplings and had promised that he would offer the 'first coconut' from each of his coconut trees to "Guruvayurappan". When the trees started to yield coconuts, he collected the first coconut from all the trees in a sack 👇


and set forth to Guruvayur.

On the way he was stopped by a robber who asked all the items in the sack. The villager told the robber that the coconuts in the sack belonged to Guruvayurappan and so he was unable to hand it over.
@SriramKannan77 @Jayalko1


The robber with anger asked the villager "Is Guruvaurappan's coconut any different? Does it have horns ?".
Saying so the robber pulled the sack forcefully out of the villager's hand, and coconuts came out..👇


To their astonishment each and every coconut in the sack had horns! Even today, the coconut with horns are displayed in the temple for devotees to see.

One of the Powerful Anjaneya Temples in Kerala. Hanuman temple is adjacent to Shri Ramar Sannidhi. Here Hanuman's head is tilted towards the left to hear Shri Rama's words. Shri Rama is entrusting Hanuman👇


Task of locating Mata Sita in Lanka.

Prathishta of Hanuman is done by Sage Vasishta. Eventhough this is Shri Ram Temple, importance is given to Hanuman
Shri Rama shares with Hanuman the Abhignana Vaakhyam, the words that would enable him to gain the confidence of Mata Seetha.


Hanuman stands leaning a little towards the left, showing how he hear Shri Rama's words and also assuring him Your Wish is my Command.
The Vigraham of Hanuman gives us the Strength, Confidence and Bhakthi.
There is a place marked here to show Hanuman’s leap to Lanka over sea.


Devotees run and leap over the stone for better health.Aval Naivedhyam is famous here. Those children who have nightmares are told to pray Alathiyur Hanuman. Mantra 👇

I think a plausible explanation is that whatever Corbyn says or does, his critics will denounce - no matter how much hypocrisy it necessitates.


Corbyn opposes the exploitation of foreign sweatshop-workers - Labour MPs complain he's like Nigel

He speaks up in defence of migrants - Labour MPs whinge that he's not listening to the public's very real concerns about immigration:

He's wrong to prioritise Labour Party members over the public:
