Vegetarians do not eat meat, but might consume animal products like milk or eggs.
T1 is insulin dependent for life and generally occurs during childhood (but not always) T2 can also require insulin therapy, but is generally brought on by poor diet, obesity, poor health, etc and can be corrected with behavioral corrections (weight loss, diet, exercise, quitting smoking, etc).
Early morning mimosas got the best of me.
And my wife served us vegan pumpkin pie which I think is grounds for divorce.
So, that's like .1% if my math is correct. How does that compare to the seasonal flu in South Dakota?
Am guessing that less than 100% of South Dakotan contract seasonal flu annually. Also, most of the deaths occurred during the low season. But by all means don't let any of that keep you from comparing this to the seasonal flu. You be you.
Huh? Just looked it up - the seasonal flu kills .2% of South Dakotans.
Because I am tired of schooling people like you on this virus. That's why I am snarky. So you are now contending that a virus that has a well documented mortality rate of .1%, annually kills .2% of South Dakotans? Is that what you are claiming? And to what do you attribute this outrageous run of bad luck that South Dakota should be SO much more susceptible to both contracting and succumbing to this seasonal virus than the rest of the US?
I, too, thought we we were done with these. Which is why I respond with such contempt for anyone who seeks to travel down this well-trodden path AGAIN.
30 people die on average of the flu in SD each year. .2% of SD would be 1768 give or take.
Schooling? Who the hell are you? I got my number straight from the CDC.
I don't think he's looking at the same numbers I am. I'm getting them straight from the CDC. I don't know where he's getting his.Neat thread
You seem to be wrong...by the numbers about the flu and even trying to compare them.
I read this article about SD. It represents a lower total than .2%.
As of 2018 South Dakota has 245 flu/pneumonia deaths per 100,000 people: https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/pressroom/sosmap/flu_pneumonia_mortality/flu_pneumonia.htm
It's not 245 deaths per 100,000. It was 245 deaths total. You should look at the chart more carefully. For example, California didn't have 7000 people per 100,000 dead. That would be ridiculous.
Nice response. Sucks that all these people are dying and that it’s likely only getting worse. People don’t deserve this.
Okay, so what does this mean at the bottom of page where it says
What's your point? I don't understand,
That's for the map. Those are for the rates. Again, California doesn't have 7000 per 100,000 dying. In a state of 40M, that would be almost 3,000,000 dead from flu.
I haven’t read through the last few pages but one thing to note in your link is that these are “age adjusted” rates. Thus, these numbers do not actually represent absolute numbers. They’re intended to compare the severity of the disease between different states (After adjusting for age) as opposed to giving a sense of the true magnitude of disease within a given state.
Okay, so then I read it wrong. I'm man enough to admit that.
To add, if all states had an equivalent age distribution, these would be the death rates.
I agree. I didn’t really think his post was appropriate.Okay, so then I read it wrong. I'm man enough to admit that.
What I don't appreciate is some condescending jack-### coming in here with guns-a-blazing talking down to me. Simply could have explained it as eloquently as you did.
And for that, I thank you.
Neither was the “you wouldnt say that to my face reply”.
Hey, sorry about my smart@$$edness. It's just that I have little patience for any comparisons of this to the seasonal flu. That comparison is a bit of a lightning rod for me as it was put to bed a long time ago.Okay, so then I read it wrong. I'm man enough to admit that.
What I don't appreciate is some condescending jack-### coming in here with guns-a-blazing talking down to me like he's Mr. Really Important Smart GuyTM. Simply could have explained it as eloquently as you did.
And for that, I thank you.
Are you looking on a phone?
Yup I was looking on my phone and it was confusing. I couldn’t see the full titles of the columns but I also didn’t spend much time with it.
Yes, I was on my phone actually. @gianmarco explained it to me and now I understand it. I appreciate your helping me out in this too.
Okay, c'mon now. You responded to my post so the assumption is you knew what my point was.
Of course it did, but that's not what we're talking about here, right now. You're throwing up smoke screens.
I didn’t read all of this thread. I saw your reply to me. We will just part ways on what we agree on: this is very frustrating.
Covid-19 is the number one daily killer in the US, right now. Excluding bad pandemics (which occur once or twice a century), flu is never responsible for more deaths in a day than any other disease - heart attacks, lung cancer, car accidents, suicides, bacterial pneumonia, strokes, etc., etc. etc.
This is the guy with no experience with infectious disease that towed the Trump line of freedom over any responsibility. Good riddance.
