Gotta say, when all of this regularly comes up, I enjoy just pointing at Australia. Where we've bravely volunteered to accidentally do a great study to show how well lockdowns work. Since you can just very easily compare New South Wales and Queensland, where NSW delayed going into a hard...
Looks like I should be able to get a vaccine next week, I could have gotten it this week but I was too busy to pop over to get the shot. Plus we wanted to space out people getting them at work so we wouldn't all need to take a day off sick because of side effects or whatever. Overall though it...
Just a quick amendment to my earlier statement, looks like there won't be a large lockdown, but instead only one at that hospital and specficic locations that that doctor visited since they'll use contact tracing to see who is at risk.
Things have become slightly annoying in Australia, the state of queensland has broken its 2 month streak of no new cases of Covid after a doctor at one of the largest hospitals in the state was infected by one of two patient's with covid, so now half the state is going back into lockdown since...
Yknow it's funny when people bring up Sweden they never mention the part about how they did actually shut things down as well, but generally relied on a culture of responsibility to allow people to choose how much to distance for their own safety.
And then they ended up with something like...
Oh in that case, please point me towards a study done which shows a nice count up of every single investigation into a confirmed positive Covid19 patient. Because I really don't think you understand how fucking routine some of those are. Because I'd feel pretty confident in saying that almost...
Here's the thing right, you're kinda making it very clear that you have absolutely no medical knowledge or experience outside of what you've seen on wikipedia or the news. And as such all the shit you're saying is basically just completely useless opinions.
But if you actually knew anything...
See here's the core issue right. You're saying that we cannot make any assumptions about the future of covid whatsoever because we have so few cases that are exactly as lomg as you want. The thing that you're kinda ignoring is the fact that pneumonia isn't exactly a new thing, doctors and...
Thing is though, we've already got significant contact tracing in place, to the point where we know exactly where the vast majority of our positive cases came from. And when ypu add in the fact that we can easily test and isolate at risk people from dangerous countries like the US, then that...
Oh that's totally true, we could end up having a bad second wave, but the fact is the initial reaction has not only proven that people are able to react quickly and change their lives to adapt to having to distance, but it's also allowed us to significantly over-prepare for the amount of cases...
And then you've also got Iran, which whilst being a hot and dry country was one of the first to start digging mass graves. So yes, I do agree that climate can have a minor effect on spread, there's a far larger effect on it by having a population and government that react quickly and react well...
Yeah I've already gone over all that bullshit earlier, Australia is a country which has almost all of it's population in less that ten cities, we have constant traffic and tourism from China and other Asian countries, and to top it all off we had a complete fuckup of the handling of a cruise...
Yeah you're right, nobody knows what the 'correct handling' is, even though multiple countries like Australia and New Zealand reacted quickly and have pretty much totally beaten it. Truly an impossible conundrum.
Holy shit you're actually dumb enough to go with an argument stupid enough to be on Always Sunny, so just to save everyone else some time, I'll just post the rest of it:
What a truly amazing argument against all things Scientific, that because some random people did stupid shit in the past...
What's also interesting is the fact that even without the lockdown, people are choosing to isolate in Sweden, so they've ended up with the fascinating result of both increased deaths, whilst still fucking the economy.
I gotta say, it was a pleasant surprise to see that Germtheory3Z had continued on their trend of totally and utterly ignoring all evidence that proves their previous batshit claims wrong, and just moving only new bullshit. Although sadly I was too late since people have already proven their...
There's also another significant factor that Germtheory3Z is ignoring, and that's the fact that one of the main reasons why the American economy is shitting the bed so hard isn't just because the government shut everything, it's because most people are afraid to go out and get sick. They don't...
Actually I've mainly just been posting information about Australia, where we've pretty much completely beaten Covid thanks to our approach of isolation and social distancing. Like you can try to spin things as much as you want, but people have repeatedly shown that it does work, and that the...
Germtheory3Z, since going by all previous posts in the thread, any links to sources that would prove you wrong would just be shrugged off and ignored and waved away as not being the exact specific set of data that you're looking for, whilst you continue to pull out hilariously niche sources that...
And just to make things even better, this came out a few hours ago. Gotta say it's really reassuring living somewhere where we know that we'll be out of isolation soon, and can even put an exact date on it!
