Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Leaving out some very pertinent information. Such as 26.7% of medical practices not using the long COVID codes. Which lead to this statement:

Long COVID coding in primary care is low compared with early reports of long COVID prevalence. This may reflect under-coding, sub-optimal communication of clinical terms, under-diagnosis, a true low prevalence of long COVID diagnosed by clinicians, or a combination of factors. We recommend increased awareness of diagnostic codes, to facilitate research and planning of services; and surveys of clinicians’ experiences, to complement ongoing patient surveys.[Emphasis added]
​

The study didn't make any real, definitive analysis of long COVID, because the diagnostic codes weren't applied evenly, making the data unreliable. That was the conclusion to this, yet-to-be-reviewed paper.

 

If fauci says so…no line!

 

Cole Beasley feels you…

 

You should probably read the whole thing next time before coming to conclusions

 

Yeah…let’s raise a healthy persons insurance because they won’t get stuck with a new drug.

But let’s not raise premiums for the overweight/smoker/alcohol abuser/etc…

 

I am sure you wear yours at home with your family and friends…

 

The misinformation is that this disease is dangerous to the young and healthy in a way they should be pressured or even required to take a drug that they don’t want to.

 

You got to hand it to Covid (part 2):

March 2020: we gotta keep the economy open. we gotta keep the kids in school. We should be willing to take risks to ensure the future of our kids...to ensure the future of our economy, to ensure the future of our great country.

Summer 2021: but the vaccine's experimental & may pose a risk to my health.

 

A young healthy person is not putting themself at risk needlessly by deciding to not take this vaccine. Your fear tactic will work on some though. Many however know they are far more risk form so many other things than Covid.

 

Oh I did. So now pointing to 27% of medical practices not coding for "long covid" would make a big difference in the 0.02%-0.055% rate LOL. Keep up the false narrative at all costs.

 

Avoiding sick people is certainly going to help.

But quarantining healthy people who tests negative after being around a vaccinated person (or unvaccinated) who tested positive is just stupid. Just really makes you question people’s logic when it is the unvaccinated who is deemed the problem when the vaccinated is the one who is sick. But that is what we get with idiotic policies like the one the nfl has…

What would you call political leaders and influential GOPers who encourage life-threatening behavior and/or disinform about vaxxing and covid safety?

 

You better hope the vaccinated kids and grandkids don’t think they have the sniffles when they actually have Covid…

Please delete this post, you didn’t read your own link to the end, shocking, I know:

Correction: Sept 1, 2021: A previous version of this story incorrectly quoted Dr. Ngozi Ezike as saying at an Aug. 26 press conference, “Masks are effective as vaccines.” She said, “Masks are effective. Vaccines are effective.”

 

We just lost another officer I worked with on many scenes over the years. 37 years old. Not an unhealthy guy. This is just really sad and troubling at the randomness. We didn't feel this randomness in demographic of the victims last year. People can keep spitting out numbers and percentages as if they matter. They don't matter when an otherwise healthy person becomes "an anomaly" and dies.

 

I am horribly shocked.

 

For those that have already dug in their heels, I don't think a kumbaya strategy is going to work either... when people can't even agree on a common set of facts, there's little you can do to change minds.

 

Would be better if she said "masks don't work, but wear one if you want. Vaccines work very, very well."

 

Yeah, I had trouble believing it my self, but it’s true!
