Current Affairs Coronavirus Thread - Serious stuff !!!

Your data missing double the deaths is quite significant to your argument, you were suggesting 3 times as many dies of influenza (then tried to worm out of that), now you are suggesting its equal.

In the last 12 days, under the same conditions as each other compare the the two, and influenza probably has an advantage as it could run rampant before the lockdown.

No I wasn't, you worm. I've already told you that's not what I meant. If you want to start misrepresenting my arguments in order to get a foot up, you can fk off. The point I was making is that the number wasn't even at the level of influenze at that point. Even comparing the current numbers, it does not justify a indiscriminate, nationwide lockdown.

Well you could look at daily cases in every country that has locked down effectively before and after the lockdown and compare to countries that haven't implemented it well.



Maybe they've gotten away with it because they haven't overreacted like every other EU nation.

I'm taking my advice from epidemiologists the world over.

You're taking your gut feeling and the data of Sweden.

How is the USA doing so poorly when they are notionally locked down when compared to Sweden's more relaxed approach? I don't understand it and I don;t think anyone will until much later on.

The facts as they stand are that the virus is much more contagious than the flu and extremely unpleasant if you cop it bad. Based on your extensive experience, how would you approach it?

That I don't have. I mentioned this earlier today, some countries are recording any death where a patient tests positive post mortum as a COVID19 death, others are only counting those who die in a hospital. That is one of the limitations in tracking this country to country.

Not to mention how doctors are free to mark the death down as corona, even if it's not, and the CDC won't follow up. The statistics will not be perfect.

One too many people on the last few pages have signed up as Forum Supporters, so no scope for reg rep fun

What;s their motivation for incorrectly attributing cause of death?

lmao... Better brush that Sweden data under the rug, eh. It's funny you think I'm going by gut feeling, and that I haven't done a lot of research into this.

How would I approach it? I've already mentioned twice how I would approach it. I'll reply to you again with a quote of it.

The age of the patients or any pre-existing conditions they might have.

Even Spain's Javier Ortega Smith, the secretary-general of the far-right Vox Party went in to isolation.

It doesn't even need to be intentional, but surely you can think of reasons why doctors might want to just mark it down as coronavirus?

Cos they want to keep the lockdown longer, thus utterly destroying the economy for no reason.

Why is this relevant?

I'm not brushing anything under the rug. I stated that i don't understand it. COnversation is not a bloodsport, there doens't have to be a "Gotcha" moment.

there is no need to get angry and swear, put some more emoji's in to show how you have the upper hand.

Oh by the way, this is in the same article were you deliberately took the misrepresented data, so I think you know full well this COVID 19 outbreak is not comparable to influenza and your rationale that it isn't even as deadly is as callous as it is stupid. Obviously this is also 10 days old but the numbers won't narrow as according to you a lock down has no effect

It's clear as day
