re: CDC report: Covid is not airborne spread, rendering masks useless

JBE clearly isn’t following WH guidelines dumb frick

When I was a wee lad I was taught to cover my mouth when I had to cough,sneeze, or burp. If folks would follow these simple manners this chyna 19 shite would barely be a blip.

There's a 150k variation in your data between 2014 and 2018.

So tell me... What was the pandemic in 2018?

---

2018 was the worst flu season (~60k deaths) in the last decade at least, while 2014 was average (~38k), so that's 22k. The other 128k over 4 years is 32k per year, divided by roughly 1.7m is a growth rate of about 1.9%. Given that the population growth rate was just under 2% during the baby boom 70+ years ago, this is basically exactly in line with expectations.

Are you seriously trying to equate that with the 10+% increase in deaths we see here?

PS... Take notes of the number of deaths from violence and suicide during 2020 vs last year.

---

If both homicide and suicide were to DOUBLE this year, we are still left with 150k+ excess deaths to explain. Or do you think suicides have quadrupled?

Collateral damage from the virus response and lockdowns most likely accounts for a large part of this excess

Gotcha.

And what about Sweden? Their death rates are more variable given the smaller population, but still their 2020 deaths over the first ~7 months are 3k higher than 2018 (bad flu season when they counted 2700 flu deaths). And 2020 is ~4200 higher than the previous 5 year average of 52.8k deaths, an 8% increase and roughly in line with their claimed 5,870 covid deaths.

Do you think there is also a lot of "collateral damage" in Sweden due to their (mostly) non-response to covid? Do you think that Sweden's covid-to-typical-flu death ratio of roughly 5X is legit while our covid-to-typical-flu death ratio of roughly 6X is not?

Pretentious writing.

So what is it about the CDC that has and is impressing you?

quote:

---

This doesn't mean masks are useless. This means that aerosol particles are not a significant source of spread.. which we already knew.

You take your logic and reason elsewhere. We are here to shite post half truths and spin.

Thread title is completely wrong and should be edited or deleted entirely.

No, that means the opposite. Masks protect against droplets not aerosols.

However, I'm pretty sure it's airborne and the CDC is trying to cover their arse because they have no idea what the frick is going on.

NO MORE lockdowns!

The lockdown measure was idiotic even though I somewhat understand the reasoning, as the country did not know what we were dealing with and precautions had to be taken. The continue restrictions not needed. The mask shortages are over, the new medication is working on the symptomatic cases, and people in general have adopted much better hygiene.

The curve has been flattening for many weeks in the majority of the areas, and even taken a drastic downward turn in many others. Open everything back up!
