Reporting on it and calling it a miracle cure are very different things. It may well be effective, and hopefully it is, but we need to wait on the data to come out. No one is questioning that really. The only point Joe and I have are that Marc Siegel has shown himself to be a pretty unreliable source on reporting about drug efficacy through this whole thing. That is pretty clear, unless somehow you're still struggling with the whole hydroxychloroquine thing since you never responded to the studies I posted.

March 9, 20215 yr 23 minutes ago, JohnSnowsHair said: how can someone get this dumb? in ND alone, there were 1500 deaths among 100k confirmed cases. that's a case fatality rate of 1.5% if you're doing the math (and we know you don't know how to math). and that's a state who got walloped by the virus very late, benefited from the knowledge gained about how to treat the virus from earlier outbreaks, and does not have population density issues that other states have. all because people decided the virus was a hoax. you're like an anti-vaxxer idiot who points to the lack of polio and whooping cough and determines that the vaccines are part of some conspiracy to inject chips into our brains. You have to be legitimately retarded to argue from the standpoint that North Dakota, or any state, detected 100% of all cases. And to call someone else dumb when that's the starting point of your argument. Just yikes. Be better.

The entire population of ND is ~762,000 people. 1,479 people in ND have died of COVID, or 0.2% of the population. So even if every single person in ND had COVID, the survival rate would be 99.8%, not 99.99%. What was that rant about math and calling others dumb again?

Saying a booster takes time to be tested, released and then getting everyone vaccinated is a long process is not an opinion, that is just a reality everyone seems to ignore

My argument is that it's retarded to calculate mortality rate under the assumption that 100% of the cases have been detected, and I stand by that argument.

March 9, 20215 yr @Joe Shades 73 My friend posted this (he works in a hospital). 15 mins, but interesting and worth the time.

OK only watched a bit so far and if it was just get everyone vaccinated and that is it, sure the pandemic may end if enough people get the vaccine but it is not that simple, the variants mess up the entire thing

They might not be perfect, but they're a powerful weapon that will help us get this under control. He also makes the point that the public health community has screwed up the messaging on this by being paternalistic and focusing on what people can't do, rather than what they can do, giving them options rather than absolutes and framing the matter around mitigation rather than elimination, but they've been selling fear instead of hope, etc. He also notes that some of the shutdowns and some of the mitigation efforts were kind of nonsensical when we think about how the virus spreads. On the last point, I'd contend that we took a lot of extreme measures early on that proved to be excessive or foolish simply because we really didn't know much about this virus at the time, but maybe we should be revising them. Either way, there's good perspective in here and advice to be well-taken by the doom-and-gloomers.
March 9, 20215 yr I think I will be wearing a mask even after this is long over. If the pandemic proved anything, it is that there are so many Americans that are disgusting germ ridden creatures.
March 9, 20215 yr Taking a migrant caravan to Alabama to get the first vaccine shot today. Can't wait to finally start picking my nose immediately after touching doorknobs again.

It wouldn't be a bad thing for us to normalize some of these behaviors going forward.

I'm not wearing a mask for the rest of my life every time I'm in public. I have no issues with it for the greater good of squishing this pandemic but I want to be frickin done with them asap.

Of course, I'm with you. I'm just saying we could generally take some lessons with us from this experience for the benefit of public health.

I agree. I think the bigger thing is just cleaner habits. Like wash or sanitize your hands when you get out of stores, not touching your face and eyes with dirty hands, etc...Now if I'm ever forced to go to a Chucky Cheese or equivalent again, I'm going full hazmat suit.
