The Next Pandemic: SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19

Recommended Posts

This is a very non-Karen, non-Ken mask discussion (well, as of right now).  Most are medical professionals coming down on the side on "no mask," although there are a few who are pro-mask.  The obvious is being pointed out that they are not being worn in a sterile environment, not being washed or disposed of,  many are touching their face, etc., etc.

Then there are the horrible articles being posted about the repercussions wearing a mask all day long are having on some people:

I didn't see any in the Twitter thread full of "medical professionals"

Not trying to troll you.  Apologies if that’s how it’s coming across.

 

Mine was meant to be a commentary on the people that believe in masks and point to things like YouTube videos as scientific proof. Never mind any evidence to the contrary.

Here's the usual pattern

 

Trump says something stupid

TDS amplifies the stupidity by suggesting he said something else which is far worse

Normal people dispute the mischaracterization

TDS lose their minds

 

Gary, you are a demented human.

 

That's being kind to Gary, the defender of the indefensible for years down here without a lick of contrition or regret.

Why Jacinda Ardern’s COVID-19 elimination strategy was doomed to fail. 

 

“New Zealand stands as a cautionary tale about the nature of coronavirus: No matter how hard you try to fight the virus by smashing businesses, civil liberties, and lives, the thing always seems to find a way to come back.”

Read the thread. ?

 

I have. I don't see the surveys and studies that support "most are medical professionals coming down on the side on "no mask."

 

I've seen a lot of Tweet-decdotes.

Employees need masks even for at-home Zoom calls, Wisconsin agency says. Here’s why
 

In an email to employees sent out on July 31, the head of Wisconsin’s Department of Natural Resources not only reminded employees of Gov. Tony Evers’ mask order going into effect on Aug. 1, he also said that every DNR employee must wear a mask ... even while on a teleconference.

Florida possibly at 20% infected per one of Nate Silver's favorite data guys.  And Florida has plateaued and declining.  

 

Nate has yet to comment on his take that he thinks the IFR is around 0.5% 

 

Which while worse than flu, absolutely does not justify ANYTHING we are being mandated to do.

Arizona has been out of the news lately.  Wonder why.  

 

I'm pretty convinced close to half of Arizona had it.  The case decline has been very sharp.  Would make IFR there around 0.1 to 0.2% if 3 million had it.  They have almost 200K confirmed cases.  

 

More likely between 1 and 2 million of 7 million there had it (20% ballpark); the IFR would be between 0.2 and 0.4%  Exactly what the CDC has said.
