Amazing that almost 12 months later this thread is still riddled with posts smuggly throwing out cherry picked data, conspiracy theories and arm-chair analysis. Didn't realise this was a scientific forum full of epidemiologists.
I get peoples frustration.... but you do wonder what it'd take for some to just admit we're in a pandemic.

- it's amazing that 12 months later people still believe in the fear induced by mathematical MODELS despite the fact that REAL data proves otherwise.pr2
- Covid-19 Is not a conspiracy theory.
But as soon you ask questions about it, you become a conspiracy theorists.ApeRobot - Half a million dead Americans. pr2. Half a million. That’s more covid deaths this year than ever before.monospaced
- 3 million died last year, and i never saw you freaking out mono.pr2
- Nope. No covid deaths in 2019. Wrong again.monospaced
- Um... So you only freak out over covid deaths? The rest are all cool with you?pr2
- “It doesn’t even exist” is the one that baffles me the most.Ianbolton
- pr2, a terrorist kills 30 people and we lose our shit, a plane crashes killing a few hundred and we ground entire fleets, what do you mean we don't freak out?_niko
- we're still in the midst of it, we can't comprehend a number so large (would have been 6x bigger with inactivity) but when the dust settles the gravity of it_niko
- hits us, then we'll finally understand the true horrors of this pandemic._niko
- niko, this is the skewed way we perceive reality and how the news enhances this misconception. 9/11 happens every month in car crash mortality. So?pr2
- Seatbelts, road signs, speed limits, traffic patrol, speed cameras, red light cameras, billions of infrastructure, air bags, indicators etc etc etcinteliboy
- Is how we attempt to deal with road accidents. What other false equivalencies are on your mind pr2?inteliboy
- So is not coming to the office when sick, covering your mouth when you sneeze and wash your hands when "under the weather."pr2
- We and our bodies dealt with viruses since the beginning of civilization. This one is relatively trivial based on HARD data - not some math models.pr2
- Wrong. This virus has an incubation period, with no symptoms, when you are contagious.inteliboy
- So by the time you feel "under the weather" you have spent two weeks spreading the fucker.inteliboy
- It also hits people in different ways. And has a laundry list of shot and long terms issues. Which are still being studied.inteliboy
- Though anyway, talking to you pr2 is like communicating to a brick wall.inteliboy
- You've always been this way. Even when about things like film or art. Let alone a pandemic lol.inteliboy
- In turn talking to you is like talking to a hysterical little boy who never bothers reading anything and operates only based only on a "hunch."pr2
- by now we have a plethora of research that says clearly: if you don't have symptoms then you are not a major spreader.pr2
- you seem to operated based on the mathematical models created at beginning of pandemic that were long proven wrong, and nothing, even a crowbar...pr2
- ...will let new information into your head.pr2
