thought those studies were proven corrupted and they started using it again.
I haven't been following all that much since that main study saying it was not working was exposed.
Long story short, there's been a lot more studies come out that just don't show that HCL does much good treating or preventing the virus.
Think the US is trying to unload the tons of it the government bought up.

Why does anyone care about positive test results. They mean almost nothing. I guarantee if we had tested H1N1, MERS, swine flu, etc to this degree the amount of positives would be roughly where we're at now. Why the overreaction? Especially with a test as faulty as this Chinese Flu test.

You could have just said this and been done. Confirmation bias influences us all, but the media has the loudest voice when a study strikes their chord.

Oh shut the frick up with this emotionally driven hyperbole-filled bullshite.
We were told we just had to flatten the curve. We did that. What does it fricking matter if positive tests are increasing? This virus barely causes the sniffles for 99% of our population.

An opinion based on very limited data about a new virus. An opinion before the possibility of a large number of potentially contagious asymptomatic or pre-symptomatic cases was known. An option before all of the symptoms were even known. An opinion given as people were hoarding the masks we 100% knew hospitals needed.
Opinions change. The majority of doctors, scientists and epidemiologist agree they help. The empirical evidence says it helps and there is more evidence daily. So maybe they are wrong and you find out that you felt goofy and were slightly inconvenienced for nothing. You were fooled. Or maybe you mitigated the spread, helped things move towards normalcy and prevented a person from being isolated, intubated and in a drug-induced coma for 2 weeks. It also prevents everyone wearing a mask from thinking you’re probably an a-hole. Because they do.
I hate the mask. I hate my breath. I feel like I’m the dork walking into home room with a retainer strapped on my head. It may be the wrong fabric. I adjust it and touch my face. But given the two options it’s not asking much. I do it. Even if it is BS, it probably makes an old couple feel safer or an employee feel respected. It’s such an easy thing to do that it’s an odd hill to die on. There are 1,000 better ways to express your independence or political views.
