Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

If you can’t isolate all but one variable then that experiment will have major flaws. No one can know truly what worked and what didn’t when you have multiple variables.

 

Could this St. Johns County school be the first to shut down due to COVID-19?

That 64 is old information, they had 98 students out today (9/3). With another 207 out for quarantine. In a K-8 school that has 1200 students. That is a quarter of the student body gone. And 12 teachers (6 with covid, 6 quarantined). They only have about 60 teachers, so that is a big chunck of their classrooms gone as well.

 

That shows the quarantine rules are stupid. No one should quarantine unless Covid positive or showing symptoms. That’s what I take from that.

 

9 out of 10 worst Trump states (GA was exception). Of the 10 best 8.5 Biden states (ND exception and NE partial exception). I think with ND the initial wave hit so bad they basically got to herd immunity.

 

Your welcome.

 

Your’d.

 

The only thing that is important, death rates:
1. New Jersey
2. Miss
3 New York
4. Louisiana
5. Massachusetts

I don’t see a pattern there…

 

Your'n

 

Not correctly, no.

 

Yes, correctly.

 

COVID-19: UK vaccine advisory body not recommending jabs for healthy 12 to 15-year-olds - but chief medical officers to review decision further

UK seems to play it safe when it comes to vaccinating kids. I happen to agree with their view.

 

I was reporting death rates.

 

You are showing current death rates, not what happened last year. That isn't the story he is trying to sell, so he has to find another way of getting numbers that show what he wants people to see.

 

15 Miami-Dade educators die from COVID-19 in 10 days

MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. / NBC6 — Fifteen staffers of the Miami-Dade County Public Schools District have died from COVID-19 in the past 10 days, officials said.

Sonia Diaz, a spokesperson for several unions in the school district, confirmed the number of deaths to affiliate NBC6.

 

Which is so very normal in a given year that punishing schools for masking is perfectly logical and humane.

 

I’m reporting all death rates, not when one part of the country is seeing an uptick. See, I try not to just grab a very short term period to make my argument. But hey, I get it, it doesn’t fit your narrative. Oops.

 

How many of these staff persons were vaccinated? I’d like that info.

 

You know what studies isolate all but one variable? Lab studies. You didn't like those involving masks because they weren't "real world data." Now, you have a massive set of real world data and you want back the advantage of running studies in a lab (primarily, that they control everything). You can't ever isolate a single variable fully in the real world. You utilize randomization to isolate as much as you can, control for anything else that you can, and acknowledge where neither is possible. Welcome to natural experimental research.

 

Nice goal post shift there. We were talking about masks and transmission. The states least likely to comply with wearing masks have the most transmission. The states most likely to comply have the least transmission. Go figure...

 

The same idiots who decided everyone should just go out and get infected?? They have had tremendous success in the arena of combatting the virus with minimal deaths or serious infections.....oh wait, no they haven't!! We most definitely should be taking medical advice from these people.
