1. It's time for the weekly "data from Sweden" thread.
This week 4 main things.
A. Increase in the number of reports
B. Deaths still being reporting back to mid-december
C. Comparing to France?
D. Data on school suggest closing would help.

Let's go!
⬇️⬇️⬇️

 2. First, before this week, somehow the swedish public health agency did not consider COVIC too important and reported on deaths only twice a week.
3. I mentioned last week that things are being taken much more seriously now since the government has passed a new temporary law to allow them to close public places likely to spread the virus.
4. You can read more about it in a great article reporting on the Swedish situation with analysis from @FLAHAULT as well. It's all in French though, but would be happy to help if google translate is not enough. https://t.co/5cKOWExSW5
5. If you've been following me before, you know that I have mentioned many this and all the other issues with the situation in Sweden before. You can find short sum ups in these two videos (also in French and with @FLAHAULT)
https://t.co/3Dt77hL7Bd
https://t.co/21nGmoAkQP
6. Back to the topic, things are being taken more seriously this week too, now the Swedish Health Agency reports on deaths everyday. Let's look at how many deaths they have reported this week.
7.Breakdown per date:
12th --> 234
13th --> 167
14th --> 351
15th --> 138

The increase in report frequency is clearly visible in this screenshot which has all the data I mentioned.
8. Now, I have mentioned before that there is a lag in the report of death. This is clearly visible in these two graphs from yesterday and today.
We are adding deaths all the back to mid-december.
9. Not a lot admittedly, but adding 1 or 2 deaths everyday for mid-december eventually creates the dramatic data that we see now.
10. The lag in the report of deaths has been explained a 1000 times before. For more info, read here
https://t.co/8EwmNXgIbs
And check the data here: https://t.co/pF2NgV2HjL
11. Now many "plandemic" wannabe scientists keep telling me that at least Sweden is free and that it does better that countries like France for deaths and the economy.
Is that true though? Let's take a look.
12. To answer we need to consider 2 things. First, the second wave started in France on the 17th of October. In sweden only on the 13th of November, when France was almost at its peak. Clearly visible in the figure here.
13. Then we have to consider that there is a delay in the report of deaths in Sweden. As I said, we are still today adding deaths for all the way back to mid-december. That's a delay in reporting of 2 or 3 weeks.
14. Without even taking into account these two factors, we see already that Sweden is almost as bad as France in death/M. If we consider just the delay in reporting and compare Fra (2 and 3 weeks ago) to Swe... what do we get?
15.
Sweden today = 1064 deaths/M
France 1 week ago = 1021 deaths/M
France 2 weeks ago = 992 deaths/M
France 3 weeks ago = 955 deaths/M
16. So by very roughly adjusting for a delay of 1 week Sweden already has more deaths/M than F. Without adjusting, almost just as many. Dramatic!
17. Now is the time to remind everyone that comparisons such as this one do not make sense. France and Sweden have very different demographics, by this I mean: a different age repartition, a different density of population.
18. But also different social behaviours, a different healthcare system, etc... And most of these factors played in favor of nordic countries (not very densily populated for instance).
19. So comparing Sweden to France is nonsensical. Comparing Sweden to its neighbours makes more sense and can help us better understand if Sweden had a good strategy. Especially considering that neighbours had more strict regulations. So did it?
20. The very obvious answer to this is "Hell no!" Sweden has 2 to 3 times more deaths/M that all its neighbours combined! Dramatic!
21. Now people will tell me that at least Sweden saved its economy. 2 things to answer to this. The first is "Hell no!" Yet again neighbours did better.
https://t.co/bcylYEcTRc
22. The second is to remind people that the whole saving lives VS saving the economy is a complete false dichotomy (also indicated by the previous source)
https://t.co/CS8ibQYC7g
23. Now onto more bad news.
Close look at data from schools. A reminder first, all highschools are closed and education has been distant since April.
24. New data from weeks 46 to 50 in Sweden reports a total of 467 outbreaks in schools (highschools excluded), which corresponds to 48% of all the reported outbreaks in this period (967).
https://t.co/TZ8BaMoy3f
25. The Swedish health agency states in the report that "Among environments for the general public, compulsory school was the environment from which most outbreaks were reported in week 50, followed by other workplaces and preschools"
https://t.co/TZ8BaMoy3f
26. Source for this is the same as from the data: https://t.co/TZ8BaMoy3f
27. Some more things? Yes!
While some people on TV or here try to make you think that no one is worried in Sweden, it's not true.
28. Some professors fear that the total death toll might be up to 15000 when we are through with this.
https://t.co/qyXHlMRSlH
29. These concerns are relayed also by the predecessor (Annika Linde) of Anders Tegnell (same source)
https://t.co/qyXHlMRSlH
30. Annike Linde also confirms that we should compare Sweden to other nordic countries only and that the Swedish strategy is the one reason for such bad numbers (same source)
31. Finally even Anders Tegnell admits now that their prediction downplayed everything. In some cases, the real data is 72% worse than the worst case scenario they imagined.

That's it for this week and debunking the crap said about Sweden and it's "wonderful" strategy.
People, make this more viral than COVID.

Thread on Invisible China: Scott Rozelle and Natalie Hell's illuminating and scary deep dive into rural China's ills and stark inequality. No matter how bad you think it is, it's worse there---more like a developing country than a global superpower. 1/n

2/Rozelle rolled up his sleeves to understand the CN most only see from plane or train windows. Issues in health and education, bringing down human capital of 300m rural Chinese, could trap it in middle income status.

Think future like Mexico/Turkey now, not Korea/Taiwan

3/Most focus on impressive elite universities and high schools topping int'l rankings, but CN average education levels are abysmal.

Only 30% of China's working age pop completed high school--last place for all middle income countries, worse than many poor countries!

4/TIL a startling fact: school in CN through grade 9 became free & mandatory only in 2006! Even today high school is not free in CN! Want to go through grade 12? Pay fees of 10-15x incomes for poor rural areas. Instead they drop out to work unskilled jobs. Xi has promised to fix

5/No country has escaped middle income trap below 50% HS grad rates, and avg for successful countries (now high income) is 76%. Why? HS skills not important for repetitive assembly jobs, but w/o ability to learn & basic skills in math and reading, can't do more productive jobs

/thread/ It has been almost 2 months since the end of the 2020 Nagorno Karabakh war and after observing it from the start and talking about it with (or listening to) some really smart people, here are IMO important lessons (new or old) from that conflict:

1. Even in smaller conflicts, U(C)AVs are making achieving air superiority, or at least denying it to the opponent, a lot more important than it used to be.

2. Effective distribution of real-time data from U(C)AVs (and loitering munitions, which can be launched to perform recon when other assets are not available) can significantly increase the effectiveness of even relatively old artillery systems.

3. While airpower is getting incredibly deadly and can quickly inflict massive material damage, you still need units on the ground with a strong will to fight despite taking casualties (and political will to accept that in serious modern wars, significant losses are inevitable).

4. Soldiers need to be aware that on a modern battlefield there are not really any "safe areas" and TTPs (tactics techniques procedures) need to be changed to reflect this.

TEXT OF THE PRESS CONFERENCE ADDRESSED BY THE HON. MINISTER OF INFORMATION AND CULTURE, ALHAJI LAI MOHAMMED,ON THE ONGOING APC MEMBERSHIP REGISTRATION EXERCISE ...IN ORO, KWARA STATE, ON MONDAY, FEB. 15TH 2021

#Thread 👇


Good morning gentlemen of the press.

2. As you are aware, the All Progressives Congress (@OfficialAPCNg ) membership registration started in Kwara State on Feb. 9th 2021.

Ahead of my registration this morning at my polling unit, PU 006, Oro Ward 2, we had sent out our people to monitor the process to ensure compliance with the guidelines stipulated by the party.

The reports from our monitoring teams are out, and I wish to inform you, gentlemen, that sadly, the whole exercise did not comply with the stipulated guidelines.

3. The guidelines stipulate consultation with all stakeholders by the Registration Officials from Abuja. After the botched attempt to have a meeting of stakeholders, due to orchestrated violence...

I am in a meeting now that is so annoying but I want to take my mind off things that upset me to talk about love and marriage.

I have been listening to people talk in many @joinClubhouse rooms about what they expect from potential partners and laugh very hard each time.

I laugh because those expectations are what keep a lot of people single. Being single is also not a bad thing as I have been more single in my lifetime than I have been in relationships. I also learned a lot about what kept me single for all those years. It was largely idealism.

Let me digress a bit to one of the pivotal encounters in my life when someone literally came out of the darkness to evangelize to me.

He deliberately ran towards me to deliver a message as if he had been sent on an errand. He told me that God doesn't want perfection.

He said, God wants us to strive towards perfection but knows we will never attain it. He said I should not beat myself up whenever I don't measure up but I should remain trying. It is the act of trying that is desirable. God is the only perfection and we strive to be like God.

I became an Atheist after that conversation. I took the opposite direction in search for perfection. In a roundabout way, it led me back to faith.

That is also my story of love and relationships. The best came at my most skeptical moment after I gave up on everyone else.

1/ So here is a thread on how I turned $32,000 into $1.2m and back to pretty much zero (once taxes are paid).

Just note, I am not bitter or salty in any way at all, the last 2 years have been an amazing ride - travelled the world, been wealthy, been poor.

2/ Dec '16, my advertising agency folded, I had a little bit of money left and I put $32k into Bitcoin and Ether. As it started to go up I diversified into everything, Monero, Dash, this that, any crap - even Ripplecoin. Everything just kept going up.

3/ By March I think I had around $300k and $500k by the summer. I used to take 25% out but towards the end of the summer I got greedy and put it all back in and by December it was $1.2m.

4/ Thinking I was an absolute genius I decided to start a bunch of businesses. As silly as it sounds I had this goal of making $5m as I wanted to buy Bedford Town Football Club and get them in the league, and as Crypto was going up forever I needed 6 months.

5/ So:
- Trading (income 1)
- Podcast (income 2)
- Mining (income 3)
- Mining pool (income 4)
- Consulting (income 5)

Yes - all of the above as a one-man army :)

A lot of people don't understand that Trump & his incoming team didn't face a normal transition period, like it was over a in a matter of a few weeks or months.

The DOJ transition period JUST ENDED when Sessions left. Almost 2 exact years to get it there.

Pompeo at the CIA took over a year before he was done and ready to shift over to the State Department.

All kinds of stuff has been going on behind the scenes nobody leaks or talks about.

We only had the barest mention of the fact the Clinton Email investigation restarted

Nobody leaked in a year that Huber was deep diving into the Clinton Foundation.
Keep that in mind as all the usual suspects continue to INSIST nothing is happening/going to happen.

An interesting set of games that I've been vaguely interested in since I was a kid, after seeing one at a friend's house and never being able to find it again, was the BATTLES IN A DISTANT DESERT/BATTLES ON DISTANT PLANETS series.


These are turn-based wargames for windows 3.x, sharing the same engine.
Battles in a Distant Desert is from 1992, and is based on the first Iraq war (Desert Storm)


and Battles on Distant Planets is from 1991, and takes place in SPACE!
I'm pretty sure this is the one I played as a kid.


They've got 3 options to play with:
* Player vs. Player
* Player vs. Computer
* Computer vs. Computer

So it's a 0-2 player game!


They also did a DOS strategy game called "STARDATE 2140.2: GALACTIC CONQUEST" in 1990, but it seems to be lost.
All the games share an experimental AI system based on neural networks.
