The "old" who get affected the most by Covid want to end restrictions, while the young, who get it as mild as "bad flu" want to fight for the right of gov't to keep on telling us what to do...
Somehow i feel the young will not be remembered as the "great generation."
- Has nothing to do with the elderly being vaccinated of course.monospaced
- I know some old people that are literally saying "I don't give a fuck, I've only got 2 to 10 years left. I want to live. This is bullshit."nb
- Meanwhile "young" people under 40 are like, "uhhh I would like to be able to jog again someday so can we play it safe?"nb
- I mean, I get it, the old people don't want to sacrifice their remaining few years so that the 40 and under crowd can stay healthy. No clear answer here.nb
- well, the clear answer is that the 40 yos get the "bad flu," so instead of shaking their pants they should grow some balls. (minus women, who shouldn't...).pr2
- Oh, that's just you picking a side based on your view. You're doing literally the same thing everyone else is doing. Except you call it "philosophical" lololnb

- mono, if you spend the amount of time responding to reading science papers, you would understand a bit or two more than you do now.pr2
- how about you spend more time responding to everoyne else who's calling you out as a clown here, and get off my nuts?monospaced
- It's not my fault you're downvoted like a stupid fuck by a dozen people for each post? Acting like it's just me is as fucked as your mathematics and conclusionsmonospaced

Pr2’s “bad flu”
- My sister had covid, bed bedridden for at least 4 weeks and was she was sick for over 3 months. All fun and games.utopian
- one friend has shits for a day and that's that; the other two only found out they had it because workplace required testing; i had "bad flu."pr2
- not everyone is your sister.pr2
- not everyone denies reality, like you pr2monospaced
- not everyone denies science, like you mono.pr2
- So covid is a bad flu based on a sample size of 4?robotinc
- the sample size is 545 million.pr2
- lol, denying science? Nope. Wrong again.monospaced

Pr2’s “bad flu”
http://ksltv.com/458022/texas-ro…- yo genius, you ever heard that 6% of flu hospitalizations end up dead?
Science, it will blow your mind!pr2 - Outcomes and Mortality Among Adults Hospitalized With COVID-19
https://jamanetwork.…dmay - Mortality or discharged to hospice: 16.6%dmay
- yes, mortality for flu is 6% and for covid is 3x that (17%) in HOSPITALIZED cases. Overall mortality for flu is 0.1% which makes overall morality of covid what?pr2
- You do the math. I showed you that your argument was dumbdmay
- And by the way, those numbers (16.6%) exist with lockdown, masks, social distancing... imagine that without those measures, like the flu?dmay
- you do understand the difference between "overall" and "hospitalized"? or is this linguistic detail too much for you?pr2
- Yes I do, but the overall numbers can't be compared because there are no lockdowns, masks, social distancing for flu.dmay
- More about using overall mortality numbers: https://ourworldinda…dmay
- they beat around the bush and NEVER bother modeling actual CFR. anybody can take widely available date of cases and deaths and do the division.pr2
- what counts is ACTUAL number of cases divided by deaths - this gives you ACTUAL CFR which does not change over time as they wrongfully claim.pr2
- data changes but the ACTUAL CFR remains unchanged - we simply might not know the correct data at one time or another.pr2
- how long must it take to surf the net to find lies - you're a fucking weirdo pr2canoe
- lol, he's so fucking brainwashed by stupidmonospaced

One more for pr2
Data from one study shows that of more than 3,000 adults ages 18 to 34 who contracted COVID-19 and became sick enough to require hospital care, 21% ended up in intensive care, 10% were placed on a breathing machine and 2.7% died.
- Pre-medical conditions?ApeRobot
- yo math wizard, 3000 out of what number of actually infected? Context matters.pr2
- Feel free to post a credible source and not your tinfoil hat blogsrobotinc
- time for you to learn that this thing called "google" exists.pr2
- ok dumdum. the 2.7% is 88 people. in that time period the US had 2.5mil new cases. Do you understand basic math to know how tiny the percentage point it is?pr2
- 0.004%pr2
- 2.7% of the 3,000 (81, dumdum) hospitalized in the study died.monospaced
- why would you take 88 and divide by all cases? obviously there were thousands of deaths a day each daymonospaced
- you're not even doing basic math anymore, you're just dividing one variable by another which shouldn't be usedmonospaced
- mono dumdum, is someone is trying to say that 2.7% of covid youth die they are outright spreading the lie because a vast majority of people sadly is too dim...pr2
- to understand the huge difference between "overall" mortality and "hospitalized."pr2
- (and yeah, my spelling/grammar sucks)pr2
- your spelling and grammar is better than your mathematics, reasoning and critical thinking skills, and that is what makes this whole thing more patheticmonospaced
- And it's not a lie that in this study, of 3,000 adults (not youth), 2.7% of those died. If you're rejecting this, you're rejecting reality.monospaced
- even my 5 year old starts understanding context that you don't. what are you then 4? congrats on ability to write then!pr2
- Clearly your 5 year old is the victim here, indoctrinated with your bullshit anti-mask narrative, emotionally based pseudo math agenda. I feel sorry for it.monospaced

took a little drive around LA today, packed sidewalks / restaurant outdoor eating everywhere, swarms of people in every inch of griffith park, zero perceptible attempt at social distancing and a mask wearing ratio of roughly 50%, with a substantial chunk of mask wearers doing so beneath the nose or chin
honestly like, the future is a crapshoot and fear is contextual at this point
- 99.5% survival rate, people tried but can't care anymore. The most vulnerable are getting vaccinated anyways.omahadesigns

This is something lots of people need to watch. I found it really helpful:
- everything is done to convince everybody to take the vaccine without questioning anything about it. good job!renderedred
- Aye, the recent US AZ testing reported something like 78% efficacy and 100% neutering of severe effects.
Let's get this done already.Nairn - @rendered, what are you saying exactly? the only thing being done is save lives and you don’t trust it?monospaced
- I’m curious what specifically you’re questioning, for what reason, and in doing so, what did you discover?monospaced
- Good info, thanks baskGuyFawkes
- it‘s not true. a vaxine should not just keep people out of hospital, if it’s efficient enough (over aprox. 90%) it can also control the pandemic. some do that!api
- umm, they do control the pandemic, all of them, very wellmonospaced

- I’m not being an emotionally charged, science denying anti-masktard, going around making idiotic claims based on shit math at least. That would be embarrassing.monospaced
- Confirmed, pr2 is a stupid cuck.babydick
- mono, you don't even understand science so you can't deny anything. so indeed you are not science denier because it flies way above your head.pr2
- @pr2, I guarantee I have a far more robust science education and background than you. And your comebacks are as shit as your pseudo math.monospaced
- nothing calms me down more than your guarantees.pr2
- I can tell you're triggered AF by this, and you should be. Acting like I don't have a science background is flat out wrong. I majored in Bio Chem you fucktard.monospaced
- Also, of ALL my living relatives, a solid 60%+ are practicing physicians (medical doctors). Saying I don't understand science is ALL you've got to feel bettermonospaced
- The comment is from pr2 - the biggest ignoramus on the side of the planet.
I rest my case.canoe - mono, i didn't know DeVry university offers bio chem major. jokes aside, do your school a favor and don't name it - too embarrassing for them.pr2

5 years from now you are tiding up in your closet and you find a huddled face mask in a pocket of an old jacket. You smile and save it as souvenir.

- I've got photos of working in a client's office in Toyko from 2019. I'd say half of the staff were wearing masks (feb time). I think we'll embrace this attitudeBaskerviIle
- @pr2, nice trolling attempt. Does it feel good to imagine scenarios that exist only in your head?monospaced

Professor says cause of rare bloodclots in people vaccinated with AstraZeneca has been found
The experts who have examined three hospitalized health workers in Norway believe the AstraZeneca vaccine led to a severe immune response. One of the three passed away.
- api-5
Good news:
'Breakthrough' could lead to therapies for rare blood clots linked to AstraZeneca COVID-19 vaccineDoctors from Germany and Austria say they've not only figured out the mechanism behind a rare form of thrombosis linked to the AstraZeneca vaccine, but have also developed a diagnostic tool and a suggested therapy to "clear it up immediately."
- i thought it was already established that there's no link between the vaccine and blood clots.renderedred
- except for the norway study...but I didn't follow up on what the actual status is.uan
- i think the german study was related to blood clots in a specific part of the brain, it's melded in to the general 'blood clots' newskingsteven
- There is no connection they found.monospaced
- but good there's a cure. :)renderedred
- omfg, so the "diagnostic tool" is checking to see if they have a blood clotting disease first, and then to treat it as usual... are you fucking kidding me?monospaced
- the guys talking are incorrectly calling thrombosis a side effect of the vaccinemonospaced
- it's an rare and special immune reaction that can cause the sinus vain thrombo. it does not matter what we think, doctors who are experts in this subj workonit.api

They Had Mild Covid. Then Their Serious Symptoms Kicked In.
A new study illuminates the complex array of neurological issues experienced by people months after their coronavirus infections.
The New York Times
By Pam Belluck
March 23, 2021, 5:00 a.m. ETIn the fall, after Samar Khan came down with a mild case of Covid-19, she expected to recover and return to her previous energetic life in Chicago. After all, she was just 25, and healthy.
But weeks later, she said, “this weird constellation of symptoms began to set in.”
She had blurred vision encircled with strange halos. She had ringing in her ears, and everything began to smell like cigarettes or Lysol. One leg started to tingle, and her hands would tremble while putting on eyeliner.
She also developed “really intense brain fog,” she said. Trying to concentrate on a call for her job in financial services, she felt as if she had just come out of anesthesia. And during a debate about politics with her husband, Zayd Hayani, “I didn’t remember what I was trying to say or what my stance was,” she said.
By the end of the year, Ms. Khan was referred to a special clinic for Covid-related neurological symptoms at Northwestern Memorial Hospital in Chicago, which has been evaluating and counseling hundreds of people from across the country who are experiencing similar problems.
Now, the clinic, which sees about 60 new patients a month, in-person and via telemedicine, has published the first study focused on long-term neurological symptoms in people who were never physically sick enough from Covid-19 to need hospitalization, including Ms. Khan.
The study of 100 patients from 21 states, published on Tuesday in The Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, found that 85 percent of them experienced four or more neurological issues like brain fog, headaches, tingling, muscle pain and dizziness.
- Oh goodie.Nairn
- EVERY scientist (and Pam Belluck is not one) will tell you that 100 patients is way too small of a group to gather any real conclusions.pr2
- This is equivalent to listening to your racist uncle bitching about all black people because he was robbed by one at 17.pr2
- there‘s also talk about treatements around...like the use of the vaccine after infection resulted in reducing the long covid issues.uan
- Glad to hear internet commenters know more that NYT reporters. I feel much safer.instrmntl
- it‘s a comment from the old continent...and you know, our days start earlier.uan
- it's a bit sad when NYT is being considering as apex of scientific knowledge especially when actual science papers are easily available.pr2
- Pr2 weren’t you just using your personal sample size of 4 to wish covid away?robotinc
- yes, yes i was. i used a sample of 4. yes. yes i did.pr2
- nobody said NYT is hte apex of scientific knowledge you hyperbolic fucktard, but we do recognize they have journalistic integritymonospaced
- what people here don't have patience for are anti-maskers desperately grabbing at hypothetical figures, and using SHIT MATH to make nonsense conclusionsmonospaced
- mono, you hay-for-brains dummy, you've proven many times that you don't understand math.pr2
- that isn't true in the slightest, and you won't find a single person here that agrees with you on that matter, lolmonospaced
