Mega-Thread: Coronavirus Pandemic

Great, so it's quite literally a false claim. Now, whether that false claim was on purpose, or on accident, is still up in the air.

Dr. Pepper doesn't count, neither does Doctor Scholl.

I will accept Dr. Dre as a subject matter expert.

So would Biden or Trump be a better choice? I feel we are fucked either way. I need your advice. I'm really torn. They are both terrible.

The IDI-01T virus is spreading throughout the US almost as fast as COVID-19. I'm hoping enough businesses and people don't take the bait.

Why are people still following Trump?

A) A number of people died after he went over the heads of researchers and pushed HC.

B) The US would have been a lot more prepared and safely returning to 'normalcy' in a CV-19 world had he acted on the advanced knowledge he had. Mind you, it's pattern behavior for him as his fuck ups get worse.

C) He does not face the same dangers as the general public. They aren't letting unvetted people (in terms of exposure to CV-19) people around him anymore. Anyone who works near or around him will not be able to roam around with the general public. If you see him shaking hands with someone or letting them in the WH that person would have been medically screened prior. His chances of getting sick are very low. Chances of a random person in DC getting sick if the district opens tomorrow? Extremely high.

I try to lead people down the path of logical consistency and intellectual honesty.

Anticipated! Updated to more generic “medical professional”...

Well Dr. Oz said we should sacrifice 2-5% of public school kids to reopen schools.

Can someone help me and tell me who would make money from that move?

I'm honest as the day is long I can assure you of that. I'm the socratic type too.

Well, private schools would be equally affected, yes?

Dr. Oz is a con man and charlatan... so fuck that guy.

I get that people love their television personalities, but it's shocking how many fools buy into his particular brand of bullshit.

Coffin makers?

Ah, come on, you can't respect people *that* much by now, surely

Coffin makers. Funeral homes. Grandma won't have to put any money aside for College...and you know what they say..."a penny saved is a penny earned."

[PhaelixWW]

What that guy said was the truth or not we have no way of knowing. Hopefully not.

Actually, we do know the truth. He was wrong.

Funeral equipment companies are making a killing.

So much wrong in so few words. The wonderful wizard from Oz is not a good guide.

Kids have considerable less than 2% risk of dying of covid-19 - and the study he possibly refer to instead indicate that school closures are ineffective in stopping the spread in general, and I'm not sure it even concluded that 2% more will die.

Several countries are in fact opening schools - with restrictions.

[PhaelixWW]

I should of used stronger words saying it was not going to be like the flu in rates. But 7x is worldly better then what we were hearing. On this thread you had people throwing out 500x the flu per European countries data.

Uh. No.

That never happened.

[lockybalboa]

Actually, we do know the truth. He was wrong.

I hope so. Any concrete source to disprove his claims? People in the article doubted his claims. That's it.

[PhaelixWW]

That's not what he said.

Not that what he said was much better, but let's be fair.

Just because they have a low chance of dying does not mean they cant give it to someone that does have a higher risk of dying. Suppose one of the parrents is immunocompromised, or has a heart issue (like my dad). Now what?
