A better argument than there's no with/for problem would have been if you had argued yes there's been an over count, and yes this was a problem, but that over count was skewed differently in previous waves. For example, one SF ER doc whose tweets I follow currently estimates about 60% of admits are with COVID and 40% are for....in previous waves he estimated 50/50....original wild type during lockdowns 70% for/30% with (which would make sense because in lockdown hospitals were turning away non emergency cases). But just like the cloth masks, you can't help letting in just a little bit of daylight for fear it will tumble down the entire edifice of faith. You are like my religion teacher that I wrote about who lost it on the "if God created adam and eve, and Caine and Abel married, where did their wives come from" question.
Credentials can be overrated. You don’t want to rely on someone who repeatedly brings up her grades and test scores from 3 decades ago.You just argued against credentialism again![]()

We already had this discussion. There are instances of overcount, and there are instances of undercount. But there was not any reason to believe that the net result was a large overcount. If anything, the net result is most likely to have been an undercount, as evidenced by the uptick in overall deaths per capita.
That was a lot of irrelevant ad-hominem religion comments. You wasted almost half of your words on it.
Girls are killing themselves 51% more then before Covid.1. The overcount excess death has been largely explained at this point. The NYT article on children for example and the opioids as well as medical events that went untreated. I'm sure there is some overcount in deaths, but it's skewed towards the beginning of the pandemic, when testing wasn't as readily available.
2. That has nothing to do though with the hospitalization overcount which is all overcount.
3. We've already had the discussion re ad-hominems. Per the test espola set out, they aren't ads as they don't go to your character, only the nature of your arguments. Therefore they have his blessing.
4. As the king of the subtle insults, your hypocrisy is showing.

Yes, go look it up...should be on google. Specifically I'm referring to hopitalists that have transitioned to running hospitals and have more skin in the game in terms of profit/loss.“Hospitalists”?
Hey I'll take it! Next time you make an appeal to expertise I'll be sure to throw "credential can be overrated" right back at you!
p.s. I'm loving this box that espola built. My entire schtick is that credentialism is overrated. Not only do I have espola but I have you agreeing!

masking young children is foolish. Adults can barely wear their mask properly. Raise your hand if you've adjusted your mask in public at least 5 times in 5 minutes. Or walked around and watched people wear them just below the nose while in close contact with someone else. Never mind the plexiglass barriers that you talk around at (insert name of department/grocery store here).Note further N95s aren't recommended for young children (IIRC it's 8 at the youngest) and KN95s have been found to be worse than cloth if there are 3mm holes. Surgicals present a similar problem. Without fitting, there isn't really a practical way to mask very young children (as opposed to teens).

You want your 30 year out of date humanities degree to count the same as scientists with 30 years of relevant experience?
No.
The humanities degree qualifies you to bullshit with confidence, but nothing more.
1. Your hypocrisy is showing again because you’ve discounted several experts with such credentials and experience you’ve dismissed as quacks. You also dismiss front line doctors with a lot more experienceYou want your 30 year out of date humanities degree to count the same as scientists with 30 years of relevant experience?
No.

Yup. Credentials can be overrated.With respect to credentials, I watched three people get fired from where I worked at the time who had credentials equivalent to mine but who couldn't do the work.
