I am an ER MD in New Orleans. Class of 98. Every one of my colleagues have now seen several hundred Covid 19 patients and this is what I think I know.

I have a hard time imagining that this was made up. I’m not in medicine and have no knowledge other than what I read, but his post sure does seem to be genuine and from the front-lines.

extrapolating is the scientific term

There is another term for that. SWAG. You don't know.

It wouldn't be too hard to make up such an account.

Beyond that, I think it's really bad form for a doctor to post anonymously on the internet, claiming that a medicine doesn't work.

Think about it.

“...it’s really bad form for a doctor to post anonymously on the internet, claiming that a medicine doesn’t work.”

I can’t disagree with that.

The President himself said we’ve already had more fatalities due to the flu than Covid.

[Thud]

I don’t understand your point. I was talking about comparing foreign statistics on CV19 fatality rates to American CV fatality rates, as well as the rates of one foreign country to those of other foreign countries. The definitions of a CV fatality differ too much between countries. The same definitional problem exists with crime statistics. Seasonal flu in this country has nothing to do with this.

Complaining is one of my specialties. I did read the entire thread. Maybe I should have taken Latin in high school, along with typing. Imagine: I retired from a career in software engineering but still type like I’m using an ASR-33 teletypewriter. Ah, I am a stubborn one indeed. ;-D

Extrapolating IS a term used by SCIENTISTS who don’t know.

Science is NOT the New Magic.

This is all overblown hype. Some people never learn.

2000 Y2K is going to destroy the modern world
2001 Anthrax is going to kill us all
2002 West Nile is going to kill us all
2003 SARS is going to kill us all
2005 Bird Flu is going to kill us all
2006 EColi is going to kill us all
2008 Financial collapse is destroying civilizaion
2009 Swine Flu is going to kill us all
2012 The Mayan Calendar predicts the world is ending
2013 North Korea is trying to cause WW3
2014 Ebola Virus is going to kill us all
2015 ISIS is going to kill us all
2016 ZIKA virus and mosquitos are going to kill us all
2020 Corona Virus is going to kill us all

The TRUTH is fear monger controls weak minded people.
Meanwhile the politicians get more powerful and the rich get richer and the working man gets laid off...

Enjoy your Hysteria. If it was bad, 10s of thousands would already be dead in the USA....wait...there are at least 20,000 THIS year who died from.....wait for it.....THE FLU!
