~*Official #COVID-19 Thread of Doom*~ Revenge of Omicron Prime


Recommended Posts

I mean, technically he isn't wrong, though he should say "the death rate on 7/4/2020 and 7/5/2020 was 250". But it's just bullshit statistics of picking and choosing whatever data points to prove your narrative.

 

Moving average is better for trends, which also show a gradual decline from the peak. However, we all should know deaths is a lagging indicator by probably close to a month so I don't expect the decline to continue.

Again, he's not right. These numbers are artificially low because of the holiday weekend. Tomorrow and the day after will be significantly higher.

What? No. You can't just pick the most recent number and call it a fucking day. Like if there was massive variance in the numbers, you could take the median and still it would be way higher than 250. Time won't prove him wrong. He's already wrong.

 

 

Yeah, I suppose I am falling into the trap of not rejecting his premise just because he is wrong either way.....

Imagine having enough clout in conservative media circles to get yourself pardoned by Trump but still want to pick fights, and lose, to some dude who posts on D1P 


I’ve never been described so elegantly!

If you read through this thread, it's mostly good news for the long run of this, although a big takeaway is that the first vaccine to hit the market is probably not going to eradicate this thing. The first one will probably be as effective as the seasonal flu shot, and as they get released over time they'll improve in effectiveness gradually. Hopefully the antibody therapies being tested now bear out, although there's not a lot of detail about that in here.

A Florida mother allegedly took her high-risk teenage daughter to a “COVID party” at their church, tried treating the girl at home with unproven drugs when she got sick — and then hailed her as a patriot after she died.

The Florida Department of Law Enforcement investigated the teen’s last two weeks in the medical examiner’s report, which Jones said shows her mother, Carole Brunton Davis, had taken her on June 10 to a church-sponsored event to intentionally expose her immunocompromised daughter, who had survived cancer at 2, to the potentially deadly coronavirus.

More than 100 mask-free children attended the event, and Davis allegedly gave her daughter azithromycin, an anti-bacterial drug with no known benefits for fighting COVID-19, after she developed headaches, sinus pressure and a cough, Jones reported.

Davis — whose Facebook page is awash in QAnon conspiracy theories, anti-vaccine and coronavirus misinformation and dubious legal theories — next put the girl on her grandfather’s oxygen machine after she “looked gray” on June 19, Jones reported.

Then she gave the girl hydroxychloroquine, an antimalarial drug touted as a cure by President Donald Trump, despite evidence of deadly side effects, and Carsyn’s condition worsened.

Davis finally took her daughter to a hospital, where she was admitted to a pediatric intensive-care unit — but declined intubation until it was too late, Jones wrote.

She should be prosecuted. Involuntary manslaughter at the very least. She basically loaded a gun and shot her daughter in the head, because she thought it would help.

I’m in complete agreement with this. So she seems to be against the real medicine, but what the hell saved her daughter when she was 2 with cancer? Wish you could name Trump and any other whack job pushing these conspiracies too

But what if she treated her daughter's cancer with some wacky unproven drug that somehow cured her cancer?
