What's your point?



It's not like the studies ignored this time period.



Why cherry pick? By 2021 some percentage of the people at serious risk of dying from COVID in NY already did in...

Sure all those factors are relevant, but does that make it acceptable to not adjust for population? Especially when they aren't even close?

Population density doesn't seem to matter much by the...

I just don't understand how people still think it's as simple as people misbehave -> cases go up, people follow the rules -> cases go down. We have seen these surges in cases followed by abrupt...

What a surprise, the "experts" were wrong again. The UK should be the nail in the coffin for any further NPI's.

Now adjust for population. Why is this so difficult?

It's because you can't.

You are a truly pathetic person. You like to call me a liar, but when I call you out you never provide an example.

What are you talking about here? I don't recall issuing the challenge in any...

Where did I say you care?

Obviously you do though, just look how outraged you all are.

This shouldn't be a right wing topic.

Where am I arguing politics?

The challenge was to find a post of mine that wasn't valid, and you found a post I didn't respond to after I said that I had responded to everyone. It wasn't in the...

You might try taking a shot at why my opinion is wrong.

I don't know why you keep coming back to this entitlement and "owes me something" schtick. I only give the challenge to show how full of...

What are you trying to say? Life expectancy in the US went down, therefore lockdowns work?

I'm not a conservative and I don't know how anyone can look at the "experts" on this and think they have been anything but a total failure.

Your interpretation of the quote is wrong - climate change may make future pandemics worse.

And of course, you know that I don't deny the globe has warmed, but you would think warmer northerly...

How in the world is it possible to think there isn't a difference of opinion on how to best handle a virus? Science has it all figured out? Because every immunologist took a class that taught them...

Misinformation = truthful and accurate information I don't like

The binary thinking is really something. If I don't share the same perspective as you on a virus, that means I'm a Trumper.

I have lurked the ski forum for 10+ years. I may have started posting some stoke, but I've been so ostracized it's kind of hard to imagine why I'd bother.

This isn't the skiing section.

Because no one else is, and it needs to be said.

It's not a joke. The consequences of lockdown are enormous.


But Richard Sullivan, professor of cancer and global health at King's College London, said there was more fear of Covid-19 than of...

You are assuming lockdowns actually do anything, for which there is little evidence:

"Higher Covid death rates are observed in the [25/65°] latitude and in the [−35/−125°] longitude ranges. The...

They have the data on COVID deaths from this age bracket. The COVID deaths only account for 38% of the excess deaths. The rest is due to lockdowns.

Deaths from lockdown, not COVID.

352318

Adjusted for population FL is middle of the pack... despite limited restrictions and having the 2nd oldest population.

Where did I say the US is doing it right?

I point out the mobility data because people in this thread are trying to claim that Japan has been successful because it's people are good at social...

If only it were that simple. You are fooling yourself if you think the left wing media isn't doing just as much brainwashing.

Strange thing about left wing thinking - corporations are evil, but...

You mock me because you have no alternative.

If I was so full of shit, you would think someone might be able to take me up on my challenge of finding a post of mine that wasn't valid, and I would...

Except you have tried arguing the science with me on rare occasions - with a 100% failure rate.

Now you are just left with excuses. Imagine all the poor souls that I might be indoctrinating - you...

Maybe try fighting me with science instead of insults sometime. It should be so easy since the 'real science' is on your side.

Oh wait, I already know what happens when you dip your toe in that...

You are still bad at analogies.

You just tried to attribute Japan's success to their "aggressive intervention." Now you pivot to a 'well actually, it's the three C's.'

In the US we are already avoiding crowded places, closed...

This is what immunity looks like. It doesn't mean the virus is eliminated, it means any surge fizzles out quickly.



No, back in the spring the "experts" were predicting disaster in Japan. For...

Study looking at non-viral parameters that were most associated with COVID death rate finds:

"Higher Covid death rates are observed in the [25/65°] latitude and in the [−35/−125°] longitude...

The problem is everyone else is doing what Japan is doing. It seems likely at this point that Japan's success has to do with some kind of pre-existing immunity in the population.

We call this cherry picking.

We see the same 6-8 week spikes all over the world followed by a sharp decline regardless of intervention.

In case you haven't noticed, COVID has worked out pretty well for rich people. Lockdowns disproportionately hurt the poor. I guess that makes me some kind of modern day Robin Hood.

A normal person might look at the graph and think, 'that's interesting, perhaps the restrictions aren't particularly effective - and considering the fact they are ruining people's lives - maybe we...

A study with a synthetic control and 20 day time period is as good as it gets?

If masks actually reduced infections by at least 45% (a huge effect) you would see that correlation everywhere in the...

ND vs SD is the closest thing we can get to an RCT on restrictions and mandates. Dotted line is when ND imposed restrictions on bars/indoor dining, indoor events, sports, and mask mandates. SD...

I was referring to the people in the forum as a whole. Not you specifically.

I'm aware. I offer up the challenge to show how full of shit you guys are. You want me to go away, and claim that everything I say has been debunked, yet no one can actually find an example.

LOL, your study is a computer model that makes the assumption that masks are effective, and surprise, finds masks are effective.

I give you a chance at an easy win and this is the best you can do? Weak.

Why do we have to choose between the two?

Anyway this is batshit crazy. Distrust of the gov't should be blamed on right wing think tanks? It doesn't have anything to do with their endless...

And like clock work it's back to 'everything you say has been debunked', despite no one ever being able to provide an example when I ask for one. Let's play this game again Buster - find an example...

Hey now, making fun of gays is not PC these days.

Funny thing about the leftist mind - they are all about diversity and inclusivity - except when it comes to thought. Diversity of thought is...

Posting scientific studies and data is now right wing propaganda. The way you combat propaganda is by showing what is wrong with it - which you guys fail to do and just resort to name calling.

Re: Kansas mask study

Turns out, if you compare counties of similar populations, and don't arbitrarily end the analysis on Aug. 11th, non-mask counties saw cases go up 5.77x and mask counties saw...
