Canadian economy in rough shape ..If anyone cares.

#18151 3 years ago
Quoted from noob-a-tron:

Do your research on him but do not use facebook or google. He is not a billionaire because he is a nice guy.

Sorry I don't have an Encyclopedia Britannica anymore. If you mean he was a vicious business man that didn't care whose feelings he hurt or whose technology he stole, then I already know the stories.

It's a lucky thing for humanity that he is who he is. Contrast that to someone like Bezos.

Quoted from Oaken:

A PSA to please wear your helmets while ATVing.
My wife’s last patient today came into the clinic instead of the hospital because he was worried about covid (and fear of hospitals in general I would guess).
His official reason for the visit was for a headache. My wife took one look and said “I see pieces of your skull sticking out and a chunk missing. that’s no headache”. Sent him for scans. The radiologist called and said he needed to be transferred to a specialist hospital. My wife said he was a walk in and refused to go to the ER and went home. Radiologist was shocked the dude was walking.
My wife has a strong stomach, but she had no appetite tonight.
There is reasonable fear of covid and hospitals....and then there is insanity.

Maybe the head injuries knocked the common sense out of him .
I wouldn't want to go to a hospital at the moment , our local hospital has over 600 staff isolated due to an outbreak but if you have to go you have to go .

Studies are going on across the planet, on cognitive issues developing in some children. Info is just beginning.

Heres Some Transmission info on Children:

Will we be lucky, as some are saying again, that its over, dont look at "The man behind the curtain"?
Or is School openings, cool weather, and people laxing, going to haunt us again?

#18158 3 years ago
Quoted from Oaken:

It is my understanding that Texas is doing something similar (not breaking out school data).
Given how Iowa was with the meat packing plants, wouldn’t surprise me if they do something similar.

I don’t know what the state is doing but our ISD has a dashboard that is updated every morning with active cases and where those students or staff were assigned. So far we haven’t had anything new except the 5 cases that were there when school started (and were staying home obviously). It’s only been three days though.

Aren't you keeping your kiddos at home though?

My 3 are staying at home.

I actually have been helping our ISD a little with their protocols and reopening. The numbers in Tarrant county have been improving and our ISD put in pretty strict protocols. In addition, remote learning at the high school level is a pretty big handicap when kids are competing for GPA and class rank.

That's all to say after A LOT of discussion and debate my wife and I decided to go with in person learning.

#18162 3 years ago

FDA head says he is receptive to granting emergency authorization to vaccines before trials are completed.

Lots of risk with this approach. If it works fantastic, if there are unforeseen side effects or lack of effectivity, then it is an unnecessary catastrophe.

Doctor, can you bring us up to speed on re-infection (my wife's question to you)
I said likely.

Quoted from cdnpinbacon:

I said likely.

Right now we really don't know for sure. From what I can tell it looks like past infection gives at least three months of immunity but re-infection after that is possible. How likely it is we really don't know.

Bottom line, even if you have had it you still need to practice the same precautions as if you had never had it.

#18166 3 years ago

And I'm still struggling to impress others by removing it with one hand.

#18167 3 years ago

My school just opened up and already 5 custodians and one student have it. We are definitely going to see a rise in cases because of schools starting back up but I think that's to be expected. I think these idiot protesters are a much bigger threat than kids going back to school personally.

#18168 3 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

I think these idiot protesters are a much bigger threat than kids going back to school personally.

In terms of property damage, maybe. But you cannot seriously think that the protests are going to lead to more deaths this year than school-transmitted covid.

#18169 3 years ago
Quoted from fosaisu:

In terms of property damage, maybe. But you cannot seriously think that the protests are going to lead to more deaths this year than school-transmitted covid.

Its probably nearly as bad because the protesters are out mingling with a lot more people than kids are. Its probably closer than you think. The point is though, going to school is necessary and protesting is not.

#18170 3 years ago
Quoted from Who-Dey:

I don't think a few dozen protests compares to 130,000+ schools in the US.

#18171 3 years ago

The updated CDC data reveals that only 6% of the tiny percentage of deaths, of the tiny percentage of people actually testing positive, of the tiny percentage of people actually getting tested for COVID-19, listed COVID-19 as the sole cause of death.

Only 6%. That is 9683 deaths from only COVID.

6% is what we have shut our entire lives down for. This is direct from the CDC. Not news media or your political candidate.

This is ridiculous

Stop with the lockdowns and restrictions

“Table 3 shows the types of health conditions and contributing causes mentioned in conjunction with deaths involving coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned. For deaths with conditions or causes in addition to COVID-19, on average, there were 2.6 additional conditions or causes per death. The number of deaths with each condition or cause is shown for all deaths and by age groups. For data on comorbidities,”

Again - For 6% of the deaths, COVID-19 was the only cause mentioned.

Estimates of the BLM March on Washington, was 250,000.
Not that it was a protest, but that's a bunch of people to spread the virus.

#18174 3 years ago

No matter how you feel about the protests, those numbers don't compare to the 3.7 million teachers and ~56 million k-12 students attending school each day in the US.

This is the dumbest disinformation talking point of all the talking points meant to downplay the risk from this virus. But, some people can't wait to eat it up and ask for more I guess.

#18176 3 years ago
Quoted from Enaud:

Estimates of the BLM March on Washington, was 250,000.
Not that it was a protest, but that's a bunch of people to spread the virus.

Protests were outdoors and most of the protestors I saw wore masks. And it lasted for days, not for a school year.

Since you live in Alabama, let's use your numbers for comparison. There are about 800,000 kids of school age and another 60,000 or so teachers and support staff. Teaching indoors, eating indoors, using indoor restrooms, for 8-10 hours a day for 180+ school days. And I bet each of those kids have homes with other family members.

So yeah, the protests have potential for exposure, but the schools likely have a bit more potential.

This really underscores why it is important to understand how diseases work in the body and why people tend to die from diseases. You could do the exact same thing for pneumonia, heart disease, kidney failure, cancer, etc.

Mortality from most illnesses increase as comborbid conditions increase. That's basic medicine.

It has nothing to do with how dangerous COVID-19 is to our society or whether mitigation measures should continue.

#18178 3 years ago

Takeaway #2? Covid can be controlled.

just quoting facts:

Bill and Melinda Gates contributed $519 million of cash and stock to their namesake foundation in 2019. The gift, among the biggest in global philanthropy last year, helped boost the endowment of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation Trust to $49.8 billion as of Dec.

(Since its founding, the foundation has endowed and supported a broad range of social, health, and education developments including the establishment of the Gates Cambridge Scholarships at Cambridge University.)

They need to do Something that might convince the masses their intentions are good. Philanthropy is not an automatic indicator of good intention, in fact it can sometimes be simply guilt driven. Maybe more like a convincer. Convincers are often used by grifters. $519 mil is a great convincer, let alone $50 billion! Lol .... lucky money has zero weight to those so-n-so's.

Anyway, it's intriguing to see how "convinced" everybody is, given all the dubious circumstances. Who didn't expect a "Pandemic" right about now? .... some eyes are shut I suppose, or maybe just purely focused on an isolated aspect of the world. Being able to add up or not, is irrelevant when people don't even want to (or can't) notice the problem in the first place.

At best, you’re interpreting the data wrong. Very very wrong. At worst you are being deceptive or have been deceived.

But let’s pretend you did it mostly right. If covid can only kill you if you are weakened by another disease and 180,000+ and counting have died that normally wouldn’t be expected to....how the hell do you come to the conclusion of “its no big deal” instead of “wow, we are a really sick populace” ?

This is a misuse of facts.

Coronavirus kills by causing an overreaction in our immune system resulting in things like pneumonia. To say that that person died of pneumonia would be misleading and wrong. It's more likely that the death certificates that listed ONLY covid-19 are missing information on the other conditions.

Bill Gates is not losing money. His money makes money while he sleeps. The takeaway is he is spending large amounts of that money trying to help resolve worldwide health and poverty issues. Is he a saint? Of course not, but he is doing more than some billionaires to try and give something back.

Doc is of course right on the money here. Not that the contingency that really should pay attention will or can. HIV itself has never caused one death in all of its recorded history. The virus replicates, becomes uncontrolled, and leads to AIDS and a host of co-morbidities that eventually kill its host. See: pneumonia complications causing death in AIDS patients.

#18190 3 years ago

To our Doc, and others who are smart, is this a viable device, and what would one be checking for in relation to numbers, changes, and what they mean?

#18191 3 years ago

The "only 6% of people really died from Covid" and a certain segment of our population suddenly warming up to the Swedish Model and herd immunity is part of the new all out propaganda effort to downplay the disease.

The newest and most influential (to leadership) member of the pandemic advisory team is a retired neuroradiologist, Fox News contributing grifter that wants us to go full herd immunity.

We have buried 200,000 people here in the USA because of this disease and will have countless more with lifetime consequences from it. Maybe we aren't as concerned as you about Bill Gates having more money than he can spend and whether or not he is a good dude.

But that's not your message anyway, is it? You are soft peddling an anti-vax Qanon conspiracy theory and should stop.

#18194 3 years ago
Quoted from paul_8788:

Theres an old quote from Bill thats been taken out of context, that says something along the line of The world is over populated and were going to try and fix that.

The anti Gates crowd thinks that means he's going to kill us all.

The reality is that birth rates go down when women get rights and become educated. Then with health care, child mortality rates drop and less people are having large families.
