Coronavirus in the United States - news and thoughts

Cool story, chief.

 

I am hesitant to post it here bc it's a sooper quick hacky job, but I will. I overlaid a covid case graph I have on top of that OD graph for 2020. Suffice to say the trends in covid cases seem to roughly but pretty well correlate with OD deaths. Interesting to say the least.

 

Sorry you can’t read, bro. Good effort.

 

A lot more than the supposed number of Ivermectin ODs. That article and that doctor sounded fishy from the start. That places like the NYT and MSNBC ran with it without doing any background checks is very telling.

 

That's all media these days. Fox is just as bad. There basically is very little source checking. Competing against internet and social media time is of the essence. Shoot first aim later.

 

Because your quote set that aside with the "let alone..." sentence. You claimed they weren't much different. They are. Take the L.

 

That's when I know i've won. You try to copy my funny bit. Unfortunately most rational people see thru your bs. I get it. You're upset about being wrong on lockdowns, school closures and masks. Sucks for you sport. But hey, one of these days you'll be right. It's bound to happen. Just not in this case, again.

 

Wait, you thought that was funny? Okay, sport.

BTW, the scientific studies don't support your claims. As usual. But you stick with it. Because you just won't take the L. Even though you have earned it. So many times. In so many ways. Basically, it is all anybody here knows you for. Trolling on this thread as you lose.

 

Hey, speaking of all that… I’ve asked you a question twice now. What was a reading wrong on your chart? I’m waiting for your explanation so I can learn. Why do you keep passing over my request? Teach me.

 

Coronabro's gonna Coronabro. Keep it up. The other lemmings love it. Scientific studies LOL. Sure skippy. The ones that use "fun starting and ending dates" to make their hypothesis looks good. Only biased or ignorant people believe that garbage. Pretty sure I know where you fall. Man, someone is super upset about being so wrong on Lockdowns, school closures and masks. Must suck.

 

I answered it. You just weren't able to grasp what I was saying. Sorry it went over your head. My bad.

 

Dumb it down for me professor. I’d think anyone so passionate about their stance would want to take the time to make sure it’s understood. If not, why even bother? I’ll go back and reread your posts in good faith since you claim you answered, in the meantime, I’m asking nicely, please explain it in its most simple terms. I have no issues admitting much of this stuff is over my head. If I’m wrong, cool, let’s talk, I’m happy to learn. I’m not catching the vibes that you genuinely want a discussion though…

 

Oh, you and your favorite twitter accounts, where you get your stuff, are wrong on masks. You are just in the denial stage. Let me know when you move to the next stage. But you are as wrong as wrong can be. Again. And all the lying in the world about me won't stop it, even though you will try.

 

Ok, I held up my end. I reread your explanation. It was incorrect. You stated week 5 was equal to week 52, my point remains that at no point in 2020 even pre Covid we’re ODs lower than 2019. The trend was already up before lockdowns. You point to week 5 for some reason, I don’t know the significance of end of Jan/beginning of Feb honestly. Shut downs started around the 19th of March, that’s probably what, week 13-15? The sharp increase had already started by that point. Again, how high would it have gone? No way of knowing, but the increase was happening with or without Covid. Please explain to me where I’m going wrong relative to what’s on the chart, not your opinion.

 

At the beginning of the pandemic they had 184 adult ICU beds and 29 pediatric ICU beds.

Austin TX area out of ICU beds for first time since COVID began

Central Texas had no available intensive care unit beds on Sunday. It was the first time since the COVID-19 pandemic began that the 11-county area surrounding Austin ran out of staffed adult ICU beds.

On Sunday, the area had four pediatric staffed ICU beds available, but on Saturday, the region did not have any open staffed pediatric ICU beds.

Saturday was not the first time the region ran out of pediatric ICU beds. For three days in August and one day in July 2020 the Texas Department of Health and Human Services also reported zero pediatric ICU beds available in the Austin region.

By Monday, the region had 2 available ICU beds for adults and 5 for pediatric patients.

 

So funny. You keep hoping masks will save the world. The rest of us are living in the real world. You enjoy fantasy land skippy.

 

I answered already. Sorry you can't see it. Not wasting my time trying to explain how to look at a chart.

 

I would gladly have a discussion with someone who cared. But you obviously don't.

 

The very definition of denial. What color is the sky in your "real world?"

 

Another Mask Study.

Analysis of the Effects of COVID-19 Mask Mandates on Hospital Resource Consumption and Mortality at the County Level

"There was no reduction in per-population daily mortality, hospital bed, ICU bed, or ventilator occupancy of COVID-19-positive patients attributable to the implementation of a mask-wearing mandate."
