which sounds great until one realizes that your hair is on fire.
keyword-
0.0006 fatality.
compare to
your odds of committing suicide = 0.01
your odds of dying from any injury = 0.04
your odds of dying from just walking = 0.001
your odds of being murdered = 0.004
yes,
Happy Thanksgiving.
So now you are arguing that we should never try to mitigate or minimize any cause of death or illness, as long as any other more probable cause of death exists? And you actually think your last response was in any way rational? Let's just give up the whole idea of treating or preventing any kind of disease as long as any other more frequent cause of death exists. Right? Unbelievable! :shock: :roll:

ETA: Happy Thanksgiving to you too! :)
No, i am not arguing against medicine. The point is that you should have your hair fire in context. Its not a point about how there are so many more dangerous odds out there, but rather a point about why you suddenly want to burn the village over this one particular "odds".
Why your takeaway from me posting those odds was that i was. calling for the disregard of medicines is baffling, but understandable when considering your penchant for presuppositions.
Anyway, to ask you the same, why are you not as emphatic about fighting heart disease? suicide? flu ?
Why the heavy lather over Rona when the science is waay much less lather?

The CDC publishes a well-respected publication called the Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report (MMWR). It's been interesting lately because it provides in-depth information you don't get from reviewing top-line numbers of cases, deaths, etc.

This week they published a review of death rates in U.S. Assisted Living Facilities. The fatality rate for residents in those facilities diagnosed with COVID was 21%, contrasted with 2.5% in the general public. Earlier studies had concentrated on nursing homes.

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/69/wr/ ... 51#T2_down

According to my local health department, despite extensive effort to protect the vulnerable populations in care facilities, its proven nearly impossible to do so, especially as prevalence in the general population increases. The notion that we can "protect" those most vulnerable to the virus while everyone else goes back to "normal" is delusional.

In the study, which was carried out in April and May when Danish authorities did not recommend wearing face masks, 6,024 adults were divided into two groups, one wearing face masks and one control group.

After one month, 1.8% of the people wearing masks had been infected, while 2.1% of the people in the control group had tested positive, Copenhagen University Hospital said in a press release.

“The study does not confirm the expected halving of the risk of infection for people wearing face masks,” it said. “The results could indicate a more moderate degree of protection of 15-20%, however, the study could not rule out that face masks do not provide any protection.”


so is this where you guys don't want to do it like they do in Nkrdic countries?

Subjenius inadvertently shoots himself in the dick once again. The thought that should occur to him and his Twitter doppelganger is that 80,000,000 people rejected the alternative to Uncle Joe because he's *just that bad*.

Just thinking about 250,000 Americans dead in 10 months. For approximately 2,000 Americans, today is the most fateful day in their lives. And many of them have no idea today’s the day.

It’s the day they contract the disease that will kill them before Christmas Day.

It will take a little while for the symptoms to show. A little while longer, it turns from a slight inconvenience to a major worry. They will be anesthetized in order to put them on a vent. And within a few weeks of today, they will be dead. Just one more dead in a global pandemic. Just another statistic. From thinking about Thanksgiving tonight to never thinking ever again.

Which has nothing to do with the 2 videos regarding response to nurses.

Buzz off, cupcake.

Omg, he just self-owned again by changing his avatar to a Trump ‘faker votes’ one. It’s just sublime.
