Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Yes, you posted tweet after tweet from Clay Travis early on until you were called out for using an inflammatory sports reporter as your source for Covid data.

I’ve said nothing about the flu so I don’t know why you keep bringing it up. We’re discussing Covid on this thread. I’ve also said nothing regarding your fear of the vaccine. Unlike you, I can respect someone else’s perspective. I don’t blame you and I’ve never actually said you were wrong to feel the way you feel. What I can’t respect if your hypocrisy and compete lack of empathy. I also can’t respect people telling other people how to raise their children, so spare me the victim act as if I’m the one that started the insults. Again, we know no more about the long term effects of Covid than we do the vaccine, that is a fact.

 

Calling BS on something without researching it? COVID-19 long haulers seem to effect teens and young adults more than other age groups. One interesting thing of note. For many long haulers, the vaccine help with symptoms.

 

Tilly was telling a "convenient truth" aka BS.

 

This in no way supports the original claim, which was "You can't really pigeon hole more than half the country into being anti vaxers." That's the claim I pushed back on because it didn't happen. You claim it did.

 

How do kids play into this math? I know some have had covid and have the antibodies, have any under 16 had vaccines? If not, it may be tough getting to 70 or 75% if so many adults are bowing out.

 

Preliminary numbers for 2020, which will change very little at this point, show that there were fewer suicides in 2020 than in 2019. Can you agree on that?

 

yeah, this is the poll.

And “I don’t have to get it because everyone else will” is garbage. But you knew that.

 

yep. No vaccine is approved use for kinds under 16

 

Seems to? LOL. Seems like real sciencey.

 

Nope. Good try though

 

Need more evidence. Or more? How about this one?

Is that enough for you?

 

When one says they are worried about covid for their kids I would want to know the risks. Well, the risks haven’t changed since last spring. Kids are less likely to die or be in the hospital from covid than they are the flu. That is why it’s brought up. It’s called a comparison. States that kept schools closed did much more damage to kids(especially the poor and minorities) than covid will come close to causing. Some people unfortunately still haven’t figured this out yet. We will see study after study showing how far kids fell behind in these 18 months of no in person schooling for some kids.

So I posted something from someone that was factual a year ago and that’s news? Good job sport. Way to go off on a tangent. I would too if I didn’t have the facts on my side.

 

We have no idea if covid ‘long haul’ is real. It could be kids being depressed from not being with their friends or in school. They have no idea. There is zero scientific studies showing covid long haul is real. But hey, that hasn’t stopped many on here from making crap up.

 

Lemme guess. PD?

 

A Third of COVID Survivors Have Long-Haul Symptoms

 

It's factual reality. The preliminary CDC numbers for suicides in 2020 are lower than the official number of suicides for 2019. You don't agree with with that?

 

Now we've gone from you don't think children are COVID long haulers to now denying such an affliction actually exists? You really do enjoy moving goal posts. Last study, by the way, about 10% of COVID survivers are considered long haulers. Are you going to somehow dismiss this too without evidence because it doesn't fit your narrative?

 

What part of preliminary is hard to understand? When the numbers are OFFICIAL that is when you have the conversation.

 

I happen to think it’s physiological and more related to being isolated from friends and being in school. When there is hard evidence of “long Covid” I will say I was wrong. I’m not like some on here who won’t admit lockdowns and schools closures were wrong. I was wrong on thinking traffic accidents would be down in 2020. I was way off on that one. See how easy that is? If only some on here would say “yep, I was way off” on lockdowns and schools. But I know that won’t happen.

 

What I am saying here is that there have been posts that called anyone not getting the vax out pretty dramatically. At the time of those posts less than half or America had even one shot. Isn't that by definition calling out more than half the country?

Most folks are not doing it, but we do have a tiny segment running around saying terrible things, including one person being cool with death or imprisonment for non maskers/non vaxers etc.
