Joe Ferguson forever

The CDC published paper actually is making the opposite point: that leprosy is now endemic in Fla. Keep in mind the lead author is a soon to be intern in derm with an interest in world health and infectious diseases. Think we should all wait and see what the experts in Leprosy disease think...of course, if they don't believe the experts, they're on their own to do their own research.

looking to see if any data on masks and leprosy - not that I could find. not suggesting floridians wear them but this seems like good advice: Transmission | Hansen's Disease (Leprosy) https://www.cdc.gov › leprosy › transmission For general health reasons, avoid contact with armadillos whenever possible.

of course they need to be considered as a baseline. can't see the entire article to confirm but if they didn't it's a serious flaw. i'll wager they did.

covid vs precovid excess deaths in R's are 2 separate issues that do need to be untangled. I didn't read the Yale article closely enough to see if they considered it. I'll bet they did. I've worked in a couple rural hospitals that I'd much prefer to some of the city ones I trained in. Differences in hospitals are a factor. Just not THE factor.

Freudian slip?

the raw numbers are what they are. the conclusions are opinion. how do u explain the raw numbers? Don't u see? we are trying to help but u constantly throw it back in our face. Of course, there is self interest involved: We don't want the next pandemic to be worse.

https://www.latimes.com/sports/story/2023-07-31/bronny-james-cardiac-arrest-recovery-lebron-james-usc seems briny is doing well. Looks like he received excellent care from skilled physicians. But they're likely elitist with a political agenda and u wouldn't want to associate with them. why do u ask? and yes, I see what spell check did and it's ok. It was a salty answer.

If I were to make an argument against the JAMA article it would be that these results could confound the Yale study: https://www.bmj.com/company/newsroom/study-finds-widening-gap-in-death-rates-between-us-areas-that-vote-for-democratic-rather-than-republican-party/ R counties had worse healthcare outcomes before the pandemic. It seems self harm is inherent in that population. Perhaps they don't like themselves very much. no idea.

wasn't aware that was my seating assignment. But, cool!. Cool is good these hot days.

The sun is the sun. It hasn't changed. It appears we don't have a mechanism to do that. But the ozone layer...

try this one: https://www.cidrap.umn.edu/covid-19/political-party-affiliation-linked-excess-covid-deaths I only scanned it and it's the first that came up from a search of "covid deaths by political affiliation". Try for yourself. maybe you can find a rebuttal by Dr Oz, catcrap or Joe Rogan. "If differences in COVID-19 vaccination by political party affiliation persist, particularly in the absence of other pandemic mitigation strategies, the higher excess death rate observed among Republican voters may continue through subsequent stages of the pandemic," the authors concluded. WAKE THE F UP!

idk. the eyeballs get tiresome. I like the ones who get steaming mad when losing an argument. It's like a boxer who can't stay down and takes multiple 8 counts on his way to brain injury. But you're right - funny in a sad kind of way.

I'm not dead. Alive and well. And not used. Sadly, per Kemp's relevant link, many more R's are....but they apparently died sans the yoke of authoritarianism....Victory!

even their friends and family dying doesn't change their minds. I saw it several times in the pandemic: Systematic irrationality. Now that is a mental disorder we should work on curing. We know we can find the afflicted at trump events....

the whole world is out to get you. it's a giant conspiracy. but trump cares about you...nope, he doesn't. nor does the whole world want to get you. no one x your friends and family care (and if you're lucky and smart, your health care providers). true for all of us... and another fake MD- Simon Goddek (@goddeketal) Instagram https://www.instagram.com › goddeketal PhD.

I am and still board certified.

Guess that we didn’t interpret the polling data the same way. What was your interpretation? do you not recognize that the so called culture war is actually a class war? I didn’t start nor do I like it nor do other similar thinkers. Yet that’s where we are …

I imagine someone gave him incorrect info or that he misunderstood what he had been briefed on. Do you believe any expert told trump it would be over by Easter? or that commenting on lysol was helpful?

my desk is now a golf cart when my back allows. No nameplate altho I have an off road one at home that I might put one on. People understood trump to say that. There were poisonings.

and you are clearly one of the dimmest

2 things. 1. Biden was incorrect or misspoke 2.trump told people to use lysol, conspicuously ignored CDC and FDA recs multiple times and called for the pandemic to be over a few months after it started Who was more wrong? btw, all statements and recs during covid must be looked at thru the lens of the data , science and understanding at the time. you can't use new science retroactively.

That was your take away from the polling? Mine was: Republican party is getting trumpier meaning poorer and less educated especially among those who will likely elect a mobster in the primary to run for president...my hope is that more educated and affluent R's will leave the party...
