thanks. careful with that truth telling though. i got put on ignore for stating that the Phizer and Moderna studies didn't measure for infection and transmission.
Reinfections are incredibly rare. But they happen. So it is obviously definitive from an absolute perspective, but not from a practical perspective.
Thanks for the reply.
Positive for antibodies is a different threshold. I would probably want like 4 positive for antibody tests to feel as comfortable.
I will take a guess--and this is nothing more than a hypothesis as I don't want to risk getting banned. Unfortuantely there are some politicians that think that promoting safety= infringing on civil liberties---and they would like to paint the opposing politcal party as doing exactly that. The weird thing is that it is frankly a nonsensical stance. When authorities do mandatory evacuations in areas where there is fire danger or hurricane danger--is that infringing on civil liberties? If your house or buisness is in a landslide zone and they deem it to be dangerous to live in or conduct business there--nobody protests that. The fact that with over a quarter million dead here in the US that some politicians choose to ignore it as being a public health crisis and are still viewing it as a vector to promote or attack a political narrative --is beyond disgusting
Explain what? Like every governor in the country tweeted to support small businesses yesterday.
Its fine that she is encouraging residents to support small business. The not requiring citizens to mask up is bad news however.
for the old, fat and sick who shouldn't be out anyhow...not a big deal for everybody else.
It’s a combination of rural communities, low education level (sadly), mob mentality and many other factors. No one wants to wear a mask and when no one else around you is doing it or requiring it, you’re probably not going to wear a mask even if you know you should. That’s amplified in rural communities which is makes up most of the state even some of the bigger cities. I mentioned education because it’s definitely a contributing factor but I know plenty of highly educated people in health care that aren’t taking it seriously.
Wow. I didn't realize people were still this ignorant at this point. I don't even know what to say to this.
Even vice president elect Kamala Harris tweeted essentially the same thing. The horror
I'm starting to think people didn't even read the article before responding. At least nothing other than the title of the article. Tip: The article covered much more than just a day of shopping.
Did your IQ prevent you from reading past the click bait headline?
Where did I say I took exception to anything she said? I was looking more at the minor details, such as:Did your IQ tell you to stop reading past the click bait headline?
What does any of this judgy mcjudge face post have to do with wat she actually said?
Do the people you consider everyone else also interact with the old, fat and sick? Do the people who are old, fat and sick realize it or do they put themselves into the everyone else category?
I read the whole article. No excuses for the governor's lack of action. But the headline focuses on her tweet encouraging people to shop small businesses.
IMHO the messaging should have been different once they realized the virus mostly impacts certain groups. And the young and healthy are 99.99 not likely to have any health complications.
She barely won last time but I think if the election was held today, she would easily win re-election. I think that will change but this isn’t the right forum to dive deep into that.
What happens on Thanksgiving and the upcoming holidays when the ‘young and healthy’ mix with the ‘old and sick’? What happens if those ‘young and healthy’ people have jobs that interact with the ‘old and sick’ or people with high risk people at home? The young and healthy don’t stay in an isolated bubble away from everyone else.
Happens a few times a day where I work, not that I always believe them. They usually try to cover their face in some way, so it doesn’t bother me. The people purposely not wearing a mask always seem to have a miserable look on their face.
Probably morgues don't work on Holiday. And people didn't bother getting tested in the same timeframe
You have it backwards, the young and healthy don't have to isolate. It's the at-risk population that should be isolating. They know the risk, it is their responsibility.(assuming they can care for themselves)
It’s ridiculous to keep making this argument. You can’t isolate them from all outside sources that could pass along the virus. Not to mention that a good chunk of the high risk people don’t believe they are high risk.
Wait, you think only 1,375 young and healthy people that have tested positive in the US have had health Complications?
What if one truly is ignorant? Because the idea that old, fat and sick people “shouldn’t be out anyhow” isn’t exactly a well reasoned stance.
It's downright antithetical to a free society to say that, but hey, who's counting on freedom anyway? We're talking about efficiency here.
This is 1000% inaccurate. Man. What a frustrating country to live in. People just willfully stating inaccurate information.
Isnt this the same as saying hospitals were misreporting data to get more money for covid deaths?
The main issue is hospitals are not well setup for this cost structure. The change from venting everyone and putting them in body bags after running up 30k-100k in charges plus whatever it was to put a toe tag on, to proning and piping in 02 at a lower coding, changing the game. Now you've clogged up hospitals with low value patients and skipping out on the money bags of ortho and cardio. It's hard to charge people six figures for a bed and a couple straws up their nose.
It makes sense that the death rate is down. We know a lot more about what not to do (for example, release patients to nursing homes with poor/nonexistent protocols) than we did in the spring.
It's amazing that people continue to post this. The whole "BuT w3 ZenT Peeoples to NUrzinG H0m3z" cost at most 8000 of the 250000 deaths. Some estimates have this number at fewer than 1000. Yes, that sucks and was regrettable, but we've learned from that and moved forward and very quickly.
