If anyone cares to look. It looks like others have investigated this and found correlation: https://sci-hub.se/10.1016/j.mehy.2009.12.002

Article Summary:

"There is historic evidence that influenza pandemics are associated with solar activity cycles (the Schwabe-cycle of about 11-years periodicity). The hypothesis is presented and developed that influenza pandemics are associated with solar control of vitamin D levels in humans which waxes and wanes in concert with solar cycle dependent ultraviolet radiation. It is proposed that this solar cycle dependence arises both directly from cyclic control of the amount of ultraviolet radiation as well as indirectly through cyclic control of atmospheric circulation and dynamics."

I don't know why, but I find this incredibly fascinating, and I hope others do too!

Where did this come from???

Woah. Go look up the peak in sunspots in 1957ish and then the flu pandemic in the same year.

Obviously this is only one data point but still.... Woah... I'm gonna dig into this more I think

This is incorrect. There were 6 cases of anaphylactic shock. The 3150 is the number of people who were "unable to perform normal daily activities, unable to work..."

Still not good, but please don't misreport numbers. Any case of anaphylactic shock is bad, but 6 is much much less than 3150 cases.

I'm about 30 minutes from a military base, and it definitely seems like there's more helicopter traffic over my house. It might be confirmation bias, but I do think there's actually been a bit more than normal.

Nah, the mask is something that can be put on and taken off. I imagine the mark of the beast will be permanent.

I don't like the masks, but I don't think that is the mark of the beast.

Are you using GrapheneOS now? If so, how do you like it and how arduous was the install?

Thanks I'll look into it. I also came across grapheneOS which looks like it has some android app compatibility. It would still rely on the software itself being secure, but it does look to get away from google and google services, which is at least a step.

I got super into Reddit for a while....then it was all political and/or gross stuff I didn't want to see. I subscribed to a small set of subreddits and didn't leave those often. Then 2020 happened. I'm now avoid Reddit, Youtube (all Google products as much as possible now...), and Twitter. I never used Twitter much, but now I use it none. My Facebook was deleted years ago at this point as it was the most obvious cesspool...
