COVID-19 (artist formerly known as Wuhan strain novel Corona virus)

It's also really easy and harmless to wear a cloth covering. And there are studies which indicate that it helps.

 

Denmark has not seen a rise in cases after reopening schools. Very good news, bodes well for us.

 

I saw, on Twitter, where states that have reopened aren't seeing significant increases. Now, it's Twitter, so I don't know how true it is

 

Hilarious.

 

I think WHO is just pushing China's bullshit now to make more distrust and unrest here

 

ABC news reported that(surprising that an outlet isn't pushing doom and gloom).

 

If they don't clarify that to mean that there is a difference between a mask (N95) and a facial covering, they're shilling for someone.

 

I post links. Some would say a link poster. Honestly have no idea who to believe anymore

Trump fixed this with his executive order, right?

 

Last night, tweets started circulating talking about how COVID deaths aren't high in Florida, Texas, and Georgia - but amazingly they are all having massive "pneumonia" epidemics breaking out. It was shit data - comparing two different databases from CDC, one of which (used for historical) only counts pneumonia deaths when it is the leading cause of death and the other (used for 2020 data) that includes all pneumonia deaths, including when it is a contributing cause of death and not the primary.

Guess what - amazingly 2020 numbers are 5x the "average".

Just shit.

And all these folks are out there just re-tweeting away. Including folks that should absolutely know better (epidemiologists, former public health officials, etc.).

Just trash.

I've been on a campaign last night and this morning just to fry these guys.

 

Not sure if serious.

 

This I wholeheartedly agree with you on. The mis-information going on all of this is absolutely ridiculous.

 

I'm not

 

Water is wet

 

I'm not following. What are people trying to claim?

 

They were going state by state in the south and saying that COVID deaths are being hidden by classifying them as pneumonia deaths. Ex. TN has 300 COVID deaths, but 2,000 pneumonia deaths when on average we only have 500 pneumonia deaths.

Didn't really pass the sniff test, but it was presented in a neat, easy to read format so it's blowing up on reddit and Twitter.

I tried to follow the links and verify the data. I only got to a CDC database that showed that TN hasn't really had any excess deaths this year, so that was enough to kind of prove that it's bullshit. Sure we could theoretically classify deaths differently, but you can't hide excess deaths and hospitalizations.

 

There are different posts - but this was the gist of the crappy data. The lower prior-year numbers only include deaths where pneumonia was the primary cause of death, while the 2020 data includes all cases of pneumonia-related death. If you put them on apples to apples level, they are very similar.

When will we see the articles of one of the Minneapolis protesters having covid and potentially infecting hundreds of people in a crowded space with no masks or social distancing?
