Yesterday, the Science Table Advisory for Ontario had a press briefing where they showed the latest Ontario #COVID19 data. One of the figures was Ontario’s Google mobility data

People’s mobility peaked around end of August/early September & then started a gradual downwards trend. Was there any effect of this gradual decline in mobility on the number of cases in Ontario?

Clearly, there was no effect of reducing mobility after it peaked, on number of cases. And remember in summer, people’s mobility increased while number of cases decreased.

So people’s mobility seems to have an almost opposite affect on the number of COVID-19 cases. Lockdowns don’t work.

But is there any variable that actually has a positive relationship with the

in # of cases? Yes, there is one that has an almost perfect correlation: Testing.

When you put graphs for number of cases & number of tests on top of each other, you see an almost perfect relationship.

It’s not people’s mobility that is driving a rise in cases, it is the indiscriminate & endless use of a test with a flawed protocol (PCR) on mostly asymptomatic people that is responsible for the increase in cases. Oh, & all this testing is costing us billions of dollars
