Description
It's been over six weeks since Iowa dropped all state-level COVID restrictions.
Well, how about this: hospitalized patients are down 54 percent.
I promise you that when the governor lifted restrictions, the hysterics were not saying: "If you drop restrictions, hospitalized patients will plummet 54 percent."
They had rather more grim predictions.
And yet here we are -- once again.
To the retort that cases have leveled off in Iowa in recent days and have stopped their steep descent, the same is true of all 11 other Midwestern states, with their variety of restrictions/openings.
Now in case you needed further evidence that so-called mainstream sources have exaggerated the COVID threat, note this survey from Gallup and Franklin Templeton asking people what they believe the likelihood of hospitalization is for a given COVID-19 "case."
The correct answer is between one and five percent. Note how few people get the answer right. A strong plurality have somehow managed to become so uninformed that they think the answer is over 50%:
