Oh wow, your patience with the dude you constantly name-call and berate is waning? What are you going to do to him when it wears out completely? Let me guess, name-call and berate him? That'll show him.  

This literal shrimp dweeb has such an insanely high opinion of his message board persona. It's effing hilarious.  

Tried implies past tense. I already gave up trying to help him. And I also said sympathy, not patience. Don't get too down on yourself though, reading is something you can get better at if you practice for at least 15 minutes every night. Start with books appropriate for your reading level and then slowly work your way up.

Yeah, masks are such a foreign concept that only big-brains like you can possibly comprehend the science behind them.   

Basic grammar, nah, that eludes you. The super-complicated science behind masks? Oh yeah, you're all over it.  

Neither is complicated. 

But keep grabbing that low hanging fruit. At this point it's pretty obvious it is all you have access to these days.

No doubt long term effects of Covid are significant.  No dispute there.

Here's a huge problem John - you watch the TV, read the MSM, the mantra is vax, vax, vax.  Okay, fine.  Nothing wrong with that per se.  But the average Joe is clueless on what to do if he or she gets sick and contracts this - and you can get very ill even if you're vaxxed.  And then, you people start ridiculing treatments which have been effective and are low cost.  Moronic.  None of you people has an answer to what happend in Uttar Pradesh, India.  Nobody!!!

I would actually like to hear some legitimate theories about how India's most populous state pretty much eradicated Covid during the near peak of the country's second wave. Also funny to be lectured about letting your politics shape your medical opinions by people who reflexively call a nobel prize winning drug "horse paste" because the media and their political party tells them to.

Go read up on Uttar Pradesh in India and get back to me. 

When hospitals and pharmacies start withholding treatments prescribed by doctors that are low cost and low profit for Big Pharm but could be life saving, that's a big problem.

People already hit you on this subject yesterday. If we're going to repeat that, I'll just repeat my initial post to you...why is it easier for you to believe in a vast government conspiracy to extend a costly and deadly pandemic than to just believe that you're wrong? Our oligarchs in various industries were happily making money pre-pandemic...your belief is, they're continuing the pandemic and its economic instability to, uh, make more money?

I just have to scavenge for simple grammatical errors while intellectual titans such as yourself explain the complexities of how cloth masks work. It's a tough life, I'll admit. At least I have your dog-faced wife to comfort me.

Yes, Australia has taken an overly draconian approach that is clearly excessive in many ways. Even less egregious measures like curfews are stupid and I've been vocal against them since the beginning. But no, we are not headed down that path. In fact, I live in a state where a republican legislature is trying every trick in the book to strip local health departments of their authority to impose mask mandates. We're going in the opposite direction of Australia.

What good will they do anyway when you have folks like the boogyman ignoring them?  I mean the flu was pretty much eradicated last year - who knows how many people have been single-handedly infected by him and his family's careless decisions?

How dirty and disgusting do you have to be to catch the effing flu in the year 2021.  

Not only is he stupid, he's a pig.

In many if not most courts around the country, zoom hearings have replaced hearings in person - that's actually a good thing.  In the Northern District of Illinois where Chicago is located, they still aren't scheduling trials.  I just got a notice from the bankruptcy court in Miami that they're resuming in person filings for pro se litigatants November 1 after a hiatus of the better part of 2 years.  The disruptions remain significant.  And as you correctly noted, the economic impact is being felt globally.  Anybody who fails to see a ripple effect from that - including long term effects to physical and mental health - has their eyes closed.

If I get sick, I see my doctor. He prescribes treatment, and I take it. If I don't trust him to treat me, then...I find a new doctor.

WebMD my man.  You spend five minutes on that site and you’re smarter than the doctors who went to school for 8 years.

I'm a huge fan of doctors, but we don't have to pretend they're infallible. Not a lot of people have heard of this, but look up the opioid crisis. It happened because giant pharmaceutical companies made highly addictive pain pills and then doctors started prescribing them like they were tictacs. 

Because I have the foresight to predict ishlibs' response to this post, let me again say that, no, I don't think I know more about medicine than my doctor. Also, no, I don't think doctors are actively trying to kill people. Also, yes, they may be part of a large global conspiracy funded by Soros to pave the way for a permanently entrenched reptilian new world order government.

Nobody actually provided a response to what is happened in Uttar Pradesh India.  What happens is that when you make a point that can't be refuted, the progressive participants in the thread resort to personal attacks and ridicule or attacks on the source of the information.  I mean we are on the EMB, so decorum is correctly disregarded by the members here given the forum.

But again, in Uttar Pradesh India, they beat back an outbreak in less than a month via widespread distribution of Ivermectin.  Nobody here has been able to dispute the veracity of this statement.

If you have facts which dispute the veracity of this, please share.  If not and this is true, you would have to agree that something is amiss.

It's insane how mentioning Uttar Pradesh literally shuts down all conversation. Pretty sure, because there's been basically a complete media blackout of the state's success, ishlibs just literally have no idea how to respond to the data at all without some guidance from their favorite outlets. 

Honestly, I find ishlibs' reaction to ivermectin's success completely baffling. It's like they don't want a cheap, safe alternative to vaccines or something. The coordinated effort to repeat the "horse paste" joke again and again, too, is very odd.

https://swarajyamag.com/insta/40-of-up-now-covid-free-no-active-caseload-in-31-districts

Nearly 40 per cent of Uttar Pradesh is now Covid-19 free and the state government has declared that out of the total 75 districts, the active caseload in 31 of them has come down to zero.

The total active caseload in the entire state was also recorded at a further low of just 159 active cases as of Sunday.

About 21 districts of the state are now left with a single active case each.

The districts with zero active Covid cases include Amethi, Amroha, Baghpat, Ballia, Balrampur, Etah, Farrukhabad, Fatehpur, Ghazipur, Gonda, Hamirpur, Hapur, Hardoi, Hathras, Jalaun, Kanpur Dehat, Kanpur, Kasganj, Lakhimpur Kheri, Lalitpur, Mahoba, Mainpuri, Mau, Moradabad, Muzaffarnagar, Rampur, Sant Kabir Nagar, Shravasti, Varanasi, Sitapur and Unnao.

In the past 24 hours, the state reported 13 fresh Covid cases with seven patients recovering from the disease.

The overall positivity rate in Uttar Pradesh now stands at 2.16 per cent, while the recovery rate is at 98.8 per cent.

"The fresh cases have declined by more than 38,000 from its peak which was 38,055 on April 24. The state has also been able to restrict the daily Covid case-count below 50 for over 50 days in a row," said an official release.

The state is also close to administering 11 crore Covid-19 vaccine doses, leading the country's inoculation drive against the virus.

 

 

 

 

The same morons who praised DeSantis in April for "beating" covid are again falling into the same trap, but this time with some province in India. This is why it's a cult. They are too stupid to realize they are even in one in the first place.

@Procus, see there's not even an attempt to offer some counter-explanation.

It's important to note that Uttar Pradesh didn't just ride the wave down from a peak in infections, infections completely plummeted and all but disappeared. Not just in some 'province in India' but in its most populous state at the exact same time they began pre-emptively prescribing ivermectin to people with likely exposures to Covid. Also important to note that other Indian states that didn't prescribe the drug kept reporting high daily cases and followed a much more familiar downward trajectory of infections from their peak whereas Uttar Pradesh's absolutely plummeted.
