Furthermore, the ongoing media frenzy with respect to COVID-19 has focused on the “positive
test result” metric, and not the historically accurate “Cases” metric, instead referring to the
former as the latter, further muddying and confusing things. A positive test is absolutely not a
medical case. All that doing this does is further the irrational panic gripping the nation and, in
fact, the world.
Interestingly, we have seen this before. The following chart shows the progression of the HIN1
“swine flu” virus. There was an actual impact in the 2008-2009 winter season, people died — not
nearly as many as were modeled (see above w.r.t. modeling inaccuracies), and then the medical
infrastructure brought out a rapid PCR test called FluChip.

This allowed there to be an absolute frenzy of testing during the summer of 2009. The large
number of positive results caused a mass media panic. Nobody died. When the fall of 2009
arrived, various people were predicting a massive second wave — note the name on the top left of
the chart — and again, nobody died even though there was an increase in positive test returns.
