Steve,

As a long time US Department of Transportation official you should look at automobile accident data.

Fatalities and injuries due to automobile accidents are going up even though miles driven are down. IMPOSSIBLE!!

Another data set that maybe of interest are the number of groceries being delivered. Where I live in Northern Virginia (NOVA), it must be 20 times what I observed a couple of years ago. I could see a significant increase in groceries delivered due to convenience or technology but nothing explains what I'm seeing now.

So many people lost their jobs during covid that auto repossessions went of scale. For those that could afford them used and new cars went up in price by 30% or more. This is a partial explanation. The other is some people are psycotic and so terrified of covid that they won't leave their homes and have everything delivered.

I know people aren't leaving their homes because deliveries from grocery stores are at least 100 times what they used to be. Steve ought to investigate this also.

A guy called Cliff High invented the term vaxxident. The concept is those that got the covid shot have brain damage and are unable to drive correctly. I know an FAA manager as well. Vaccinated private pilots are having medical missuses causing them to crash.
