I understand. And I’m still amazed at how fast you manage to post.
Sorry. I have been reading the medical literature all my life. When I read an article I start with all the locations that reveal snake oil or red flag. If I detect those things I don’t bother wasting time reading it. Trash is pretty easy to recognize.
I’m not selling anything, i don’t have anything to gain, I am not a spy from Huffpo, I have two decades with 25,000 posts if you want to make sure. I consider FReeRepublic family. I am just hoping to help freepers understand what is going on, answer questions “What should I do?” As best I can. To provide a service. It occurs to me just about every doctor is pretty busy right now. I’m not but I can still help, her by answering freepers’ quesitons.
But I have to admit, I never thought I would actually. See an epidemic like this in my life. For most of us Epidemiolgy is boring crap you have to read for the Boards. Most of us., I believe, never thought we would be where we are today. This is an impressive virus, IMHO. Nasty sucker but you have to respect excellence.
OMG! LOL. This is how stupid I am. You asked how it is that I can respond so fast? I thought, “What a strange question?” I don’t think I can type any faster than anyone one else? Does he think I have a special Internet connection that is faster than others? That couldn’t possibly even make a perceptible difference. Honest to God it just hit me. You thought I was looking all this stuff up! HaHa. I haven’t touched a medical book or publication in years. I actually “know” all this stufff. I took 4 semesters of statistics as an undergrad. Pay me 6 figures and let me have access to info outside my head and I could bury you in bull shit. Of the cuff I remember ANOVAs but i can’t off the cuff even remember what the hell the acronym stands for. Multivariate analysis or something. I quit doing research 30 years ago.
But it is funny. Stupid me.
