Synopsis?
Thanks for posting. More might watch it with a brief synopsis. Honestly, I’m not investing 53 minutes without an intro.
So what are their conclusions? The video is 52 minutes long - a summary would be most helpful.
I don’t give a shit what their conclusions are one way or the other! I want this damn country open now!
Whut?
Synopsis, please.
Chilling is usually used in leftist propaganda.
Well worth the time.
Local doctors dismantling the data and giving a plain spoken explanation and comparing it to the annual flu.
Quarantine the sick, not the healthy.
I agree.
This video, from one source or another, has been posted about ten times on FR in the last 48 hours. But it is definitely well worth the time.
I watched a short version the first time it was posted and was so riveted I stayed up and watched the long version.
The entire press conference is actually about 1 hr fifteen minutes, but for some reason it is broken up on YouTube into a first part of about an hour and a 2nd part, where the doctors get into politics, of about 15 minutes.
Thanks ptsal
This fellow’s “extrapolations” are questionable. He says, for example, 39% of those tested in NY are positive and then extrapolates that to the whole state and says they probably have 7 million positives in the state. The problem with that “extrapolation” is that it assumes that the tested group is a representative sample of the whole state when that probably isn’t true. Wouldn’t the people getting tested in NY actually more likely to be sick? if you feel fine aren’t you less likely to go out and get tested?
Can you give us a summary on what they discussed in the video? Point out actual data?
This doctor is talking about people being tested for antibodies there are far more than anyone expected, far more than people who are known to have the virus!!!
25 minute version, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeTYvJSd5lM
Compares stats of different places including Norway vs Sweden, different US States. Talks about others in the health care biz they’ve been in contact with. Talks about child abuse, domestic violence and suicides being up. Talks about our immune systems being weakened the longer we’re locked away and scrubbing surfaces. Even mentions constitutional rights being stomped on which is surprising coming from a Cali doctor. They have several clinics spread across the region and have done 5000+ Wuhan Virus tests.
Makes some valid points culminating with cure worse than disease.
For those who have seen this:
We ALREADY KNOW the CFR and IFR are rapidly declining. We know it's a little nastier than the flu, but it's like the flu -> it's just a nasty flu ... which means ... people die. That's the flu too.
We already know the left is pushing this for all its worth, and certain national political and global forces have an interest it being bad or perceived as worse than it is.
For me personally, I'd walk into work tomorrow if it were open (and if it were Monday, not Sunday :-))
Do those of us who already know what's up with this whole thing have a reason to watch it? Is there anything new? Is it just right wing hype and exaggeration even if it comes down on the right side of the argument?
One more “scientist” who ascribes the good effects of mitigation to COVID-19. The small prevalence was intentionally induced by shutting down our society and social distancing, not by COVID-19. The low death rate was intentionally induced by the same measures in order to allow our medical system to catch up. The low death rate was not accomplished because the virus is weak or ineffective at transmitting.
Conversely, this lockdown was not intended to keep people from catching COVID-19. It never was. It was intended to delay the spread so that our medical system could prepare for opening up.
This doctor has the right proposal for the wrong reasons. He says his medical staff have nothing to do now. Great! We have accomplished our goal. Now let’s get back to work.
Well, there was a claim published a couple days ago that 1 out of 7 tested in NY had antibodies. 1/7th is a lot less than the 39% figure he cites.
OOooooh thanks -> I can do a short version.
That’s what always been done....you quarantine the sick.
