    Making excuses for Cuomo is sad. Not surprising. Some will play politics to the end.

    That’s not an RCT. But hey, don’t let that little fact get in the way. Still hoping for masks to work is such a Coronabros move. Love it! Keep it up Bro’s

    Yes, actually it is a randomized control trial (RCT). They randomized who received a treatment and then compared it to the control group who did not receive a treatment. That is an RCT. We have already established that you don't know what an RCT is when you suggested somebody run a longitudinal observational study and called your suggestion an RCT. You have proven it again.

    Nope. But keep up the facade. Some on here by that crap. Example 1,001 where you got owned. It’s ok sport. I know you are upset about being totally wrong on lockdowns and school closures and masks. It is embarrassing, I get that. But buck up buttercup, brighter days are ahead. Maybe…

    It is all he has left. Yale economists ran an RCT that showed masks worked. It has been a rough day for his ego.

    More Than 500,000 Children Nationwide Test Positive for COVID in Three Weeks Since Schools Reopened

    A new report from the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) reveals that more than 500,000 children tested positive for the coronavirus within the past three weeks, just as schools reopened nationwide.

    According to data collected from state health departments, between August 5 and August 26, there were 505,564 total child cases of COVID-19 recorded across the nation, with 203,962 positive cases being reported within one week. During this time, the number of children hospitalized for COVID-19 also reached an all-time high in the United States, according to data from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

    Researchers have found that the delta variant is the most contagious strain of COVID-19 so far, and a study published Friday in the journal Lancet Infectious Diseases shows that the variant more than doubles the risk of hospitalization. As of now, children ages 11 and under remain ineligible to receive a COVID-19 vaccine, leaving them vulnerable to the virus as they return to classrooms.

    And people wonder why there is no trust with everything going on.

    lol, the same rct that didn’t test kids? The same one that found no difference in masks under 50? That. One? Good try. The L’s just kee coming for you. Lockdowns, school closures and masks. Real hot streak. Trifecta of being wrong. Sucks for you.

    Aww, little buddy. You are flailing. At least you now realize it was an RCT. That is improvement. For the rest, it will be okay. I'm sure you'll get'em next time.

    Sometimes stats don't matter. Lost another field mate from Covid. Left a 4 year old daughter. Paramedic. Still have a large percentage of first responders who don't trust the vaccine or won't take it because....freeeom. 5th responder in my area dead from covid. All but 1 from delta yet Delta is "less lethal." Depressing and maddening.

    I mean I'm not making up numbers when I say I'm up to 12 people gone who I know or know of who would otherwise be alive if not for covid. Not all in perfect health but none facing imminent death prior to this. All ambulatory and normally functioning people. Not bed ridden sick or elderly people .

    What already showed it’s “garbage”??. You!?! Ha! Where do you get this stuff? Do you just literally make it up stuff.

    And who said anything about masking 2 yr olds? This is classic projecting when you have a baseless argument. Make wild claims and start posting from there.

    btw going forward spare us charts you make up yourself.

    I posted the study. Go find it. That’s on you sport. Not going to do work for someone who is lazy. Keep buying the “long covid” crap. We do mask 2 year olds. Might want to look that up before spewing crap. Now just show me where the study is that masking 2 year olds is beneficial. I’ll wait.

    So in other words its weak.

    there are plenty of reports of people still having issues months later. Docs also reporting. It shouldn’t be a reach to realize the level of lung damage some could experience when in icu for weeks. I’ve seen it first hand someone With probs requiring ct scan months after covid

    Your info is bad.

    If the information was available, it would be just more information for you to ignore because it doesn't fit the mythology you rely on.

    We have a national vaccination rate of 50% or so. A national controlled experiment. Yet, 95% or so of hospitalizations and deaths are among the unvaccinated.

    So, do us a favor. Stop asking for more information.

    You don't need it and don't want it.

    So you’ve resorted to anecdotal evidence. Sign #1 you have no argument. Good job. And I like the “your info is bad” routine. You keep worrying with all the corona bros and the rest of the country will go enjoy life.
