“You just WANT to be doom and gloom the numbers come no where near what they were expecting and those are the facts!!!”

I just told you what she actually said, what you are saying is not what she said.

What I said she said is not doom and gloom.

We just had a ton of infected added in New York. They represent most US cases now. They are relatively young people. 80 % less than 64 years old. Their death rate will be lower, hopefully, but that depends on the healthcare system in New York.

EXCLUSIVE: Top CDC official warns New York’s coronavirus outbreak is just a preview

https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/489684-exclusive-top-cdc-official-warns-new-yorks-coronavirus-outbreak-is-just-a

The US CDC has been wrong, or lied about this plague ever single step of the way.

In early Feb they were still saying there was no aerosol transmission.

Even today they continue to claim the risk of contracting COVID-19 is low for the average American.

Yet we find ourselves in mandatory quarantine and multiple other varieties of “social distancing”...ordered by government officials “following CDC guidance.

Of this EVERYONE can be certain: This epidemic with either be far worse, or far less than the CDC says.

In my few years hanging around, I’ve figured you can judge folks on how they react to adversity. Look about you how folks you thought have it together are showing their true internal thoughts. I’m just here for the entertainment value now, very little of concrete value has been shared...

No. Alcohol doesn’t expire. They will be perfectly usable. If the seals degraded or something similar, some of the alcohol might have gassed out. But if not opened, you should be good.

It’s the classic fight between the caretakers and the warriors.

Hasn’t changed in millennia.

“I know peroxide is dodgy after a while.”

H2O2 naturally decays. It has a half life like radioactives do (it’s not radioactive, LOL, I didn’t say that). Just over time an oxygen atom breaks loose and you get oxygen and water.

Alright, this is getting beyond absurd.

Dr. Birx was just up there saying that the UK had revised their death rates down from 500,000 to 20,000.

I had seen a thread here on FR earlier today state that Dr. Fergeson was the lead on the Imperial College study, and he had yesterday revised his number of fatalities down to 20,000, based on the information from the Oxford Study, which said there must be a huge number of asymptomatic cases.

But here is Dr. Fergeson on Twitter this morning, saying he has not revised downward:

1/4 - I think it would be helpful if I cleared up some confusion that has emerged in recent days. Some have interpreted my evidence to a UK parliamentary committee as indicating we have substantially revised our assessments of the potential mortality impact of COVID-19.— neil_ferguson (@neil_ferguson) March 26, 2020



2/4 -This is not the case. Indeed, if anything, our latest estimates suggest that the virus is slightly more transmissible than we previously thought. Our lethality estimates remain unchanged.— neil_ferguson (@neil_ferguson) March 26, 2020



3/4 - My evidence to Parliament referred to the deaths we assess might occur in the UK in the presence of the very intensive social distancing and other public health interventions now in place.— neil_ferguson (@neil_ferguson) March 26, 2020

How does this get so jacked up?

It's not like these positions are just a little off, they are WAYYY OFFFF!!!! (that was for you, Trump Kit Cat Girl)

He may be real. I don't know. Wrong subject to pick for neurodegeneration. That, Alzheimers and PKAN I am more than familiar with.

We had three more abstracts accepted for the movements meeting in Dublin. They still haven't cancelled. Puts us in a bad position as far as travel and housing arrangements go. If it is on (doubtful) we have to be there. The publications on those are now on indefinite hold. We were also suppose to meet with researchers in Milan to see how they could contribute to future research. I can't even imagine that now.

At the moment our entire 6 year project with PKAN is on the rocks. It is spreading into the areas of our patients. They will succumb quickly because of down regulation of reaction species scavengers (ROS). Very upsetting. 150K was our money to get it going and others matched on that. Now we pray none out our team gets it. We have doctors and researchers in the DR, New York, Houston, Pittsburgh and Spain.

Flu Bros have no idea the damage they are doing. I'm not saying they should lick fomites, just shut up and go away.

“But it ain’t 1918, neither.”

Never claimed it was. Always said it was not the apocalypse or the flu, but close to the flu end. But it’s not the flu.

He revised his models to reflect social distancing.

And under scathing rebuke from the Oxford team that essentially called his initial projections trash.

OK. I was thinking if all or most of the over-65s had huge bills and Medicare had to pay them, or the hospital really, since Medicare doesn’t begin to cover what it costs the hospital.

The Brees family would do more good donating the $5 million to a specific organization. It’ll disappear in milliseconds at the state level.

Why won’t they have plenty of ICU beds then? If they were for corona patients, they would need them.

Or do you think people will altruistically stop having other hospitalization needs?
