Presented without comment. A potentially useful aggregation of COVID research. Still working my way through the resources linked. Do with it what you will. https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1478611650760437765.html
Tell me you didn’t read the posted link without telling me you didn’t read the posted link. 🙄
I had Covid and it was so mild, borderline funny. However, the economy coming to knees for a flu is a sad joke.
It doesn't affect everyone the same way. Do the math yourself: we normally have 30K deaths during a typical flu season. We currently have over 800K COVID deaths, with omicron deaths still yet to show up (cases lead deaths by about a month).
Ok here’s the math: 1M people died in the US / US pop = 0.3% How people are born every year in the US? Like 3M. We’ll be alright dude
Consistently coders with social media prove, without fail, that they truly believe they are more apt to tackle the analysis of a global pandemic and its characteristics. Why, why must you all be so stupid. So willfully ignorant. You are arbiters of science, for Christ sake, fucking act like it.
So what should we do? Sit at home forever?
Not forever. Just until no one has Covid
That’s gonna be a long ride
@wmchealth mongoloid? You know that word is used to refer to people with Down syndrome? Your colors are really showing.
Lol okay
Just saying. You probably shouldn’t use that word. Sorry to bother you from your ivory tower.
So based on his thread, wtf was the point of the vaccine?
Increase survival and decrease bed occupation for people with unpreventable problems to receive treatment.
Think of it like ddos protection. It slows it down, it's not guaranteed to completely stop it. But you'd agree that you need to do SOMETHING to slow it down until you find the hosting provider and manage to shut it down from the root. It's very similar.
Basically, everyone is going to get this. I think 5% of the US population has it at any particular point in time right now. If there are severe health outcomes over the long-term, our entire population is going to have to deal with it. It seems pointless to stress about it, beyond taking reasonable precautions within our control.
You'd be shocked at how many people refuse to do even that.
