Bad News Thread

Your style of “questioning“ lacks falsifiability. It is ‘questioning”, in that you are willing to reject things that others put forward. But it is not falsifiable. You have displayed next to no ability to reject a previous belief in the face of new evidence.
Which is why you reject the last 50 years of virus history that says you are a liar.
 
Your complaint against Fauci is that he has, for the most part, accurately followed the median scientific view. Had someone else done the same, you’d be insulting them.
Anyone who rejects 50 years of virus history and employs mask and PCR test to determine infections should be mocked for their anti-science views.
 
A. Love the nonsense. Taking a page from the Espola playbook I see.
b. I have no doubt you would have fawned over and called for deferring to the experts for any idiot in that position
C. If someone else had made the same lies and policy errors yes I would attack it
D. But fauci is uniquely awful in his job particularly the pr aspects
E. The falsifiability point is uniquely nonsensical coming from you, given the real world evidence around you.this is nothing more than religion to you
Ask Falsepola about percentages.
 
More bad news for the cheaters. Water marks will bring to light all the cheating these folks have done. I spoke to some old pals of mine and they think cheating to get rid of T was "righteous cheating" and the only time someone is allowed to cheat. Falsepola is just that, false and full of dung. I told my pal anyone who cheated during the national election is going to get in big trouble because the military was doing a big time sting and this was not the time to cheat.

Doesn’t mean I can’t mock him for it. You can tell hound ten times that professional epidemiology researchers have already read the old influenza mask studies, and he still thinks he knows something they missed. It’s like the guy who yells at the TV telling Neymar how to play ball. Knows nothing, but thinks he does.
Arrogance is sure tell of ignorance.
 
Not quite clear whether the flu shot will be more accurate. Hard to hit the target when we have so little data....

I do agree that the flu shot ought to be more popular next year, and that staying home when sick should be more common.
My previous job of almost 40 years had no such thing as “sick leave”, don’t work don’t get paid. So I didn’t miss much time.
 
Sorry Dad4 but they are going to allow the honor system. Good news is businesses can't deny access to someone wearing a mask. :)

Yes but employees still will be wearing them per Cal-OSHA.

Honor system? Then it won’t work. We will remain vulnerable to whatever high transmission variant comes in on the next airplane.

In the case of Delta, it’s already here. About 6% of cases in the US. For Britain, it took about 5 weeks to go from 6% to being the dominant variant.

So, mid summer, it will be dominant. By late fall, the seasonality kicks in and we find out which states got their act together and which did not.

Since covid has only been recognized for about 18 months now, I'm not convinced that it has a true seasonal component. Arguments for a seasonal effect include the US peak in January/February and Australia in August, but South Africa's caseload peaked in October and Argentina's numbers just wander all over the place inconclusively.


If the pandemic roars back at us next winter, I caution that it might be with variants that have evolved to survive the current vaccines.

I wonder whether Delta is partly responsible for the slight uptick in cases in San Jose. We have a 78% vax rate for adults, and 30% previously infected. That should mean about 80% immunity, but cases are not dropping. Stuck at about 30 per day.

Makes a ton of sense if the dominant variant in town just changed. It’s the same pattern as we saw when the UK variant came in. We think we are done, open it all up, higher transmission variant comes in, and you get a new bump in cases.

By the way, we see that covid has variants. Many have sprung up.

With your mindset, you will continually want restrictions and masks. Why? Because based on past history we kind of know that covid will spawn variants in the future.

Your solution it seems is to live in fear, keep wearing masks, keep certain restrictions in place because in the future SOME variant might be troublesome.

That is no way to live your life son.
 
She turned it into a personal attack. What did you think would happen?

Were you expecting her to review the data, decide her earlier position was in error, and alter her opinion?
That's hilarious coming from one who has been dropping the personal attacks recently. The more your faith is challenged, the more bitter you get.

How many cases of the actual flu were reported daily?

I'm just happy I won't have to remember my mask anymore. That was a much bigger problem for me than wearing it.
