Lmfao again completely spinning a phrase to assume a different meaning.
What did I spin this time?! You said you get your covid info from two health care friends of yours, right? That is just absurd.

I’m actually enjoying social distancing and not having to touch people with handshakes

It’s been very enjoyable. It’s very very terrific actually

Dear God, the question is how in the eff could you use what you posted as an argument for or against anything, at this point?
It's telling that so many here have a problem when someone does NOT speak in certainties. Almost nothing is certain! Nearly everything is based on probabilities! Yes, I used more qualifying words because they reflect the confidence of the statements. It's called honesty. Try it.

If you remember, scientists were saying that Swine Flu had a CFR between 5-2%
The only time the estimates were that high was when they were based on the initial Mexico data. It was noticed immediately that it wasn't that bad once it started spreading in the US.

By May 12, just 15 days after it was know to spread person to person, CFR estimates were already down to 0.4%

By June, the CDC estimate was down to 0.1%

By December, still in the middle of the pandemic, CFR estimate was down to below that of seasonal flu
quote:

The data showing it wasn't as bad as they thought didn't come out until years after.
They were lowered even further years later, but even in the thick of it, it was known that it wasn't very deadly.

And we learned a lot from the swine flu pandemic. The covid hospitalizations and deaths are piling up much, much faster than they ever did for swine flu.
quote:

Based on the data about asymptomatic cases and very mild cases that don't get tested, it wouldn't surprise me that in a couple years they will figure out that the covid mortality rate is .1% to .3%.
That wouldn't really surprise me, either, though obviously I still believe the figures a few years from now will fall closer to 0.5%.

I said siblings (Dr. and nurse) and you are too stupid for words. The statement above proves that beyond question. It’s also a total reversal of a statement you made previously so as usual you telling someone else how “honest” you are meant to exact opposite.

What does their being siblings have to do with anything? Are they your siblings? And why can't you just answer the question? Are these two people your source for covid info?

Because you misquoted me again so I had to correct you again.

-first off you’ve said that any news source I use is wrong

- then you said listening to people who are using the best avalible information is wrong

- you’ve also claimed that your news sources are the only correct sources but failed to provide them



-Conclusion- you’re a clown who talks from both sides of his mouth in obedience to political masters.



Thanks again for proving me right

Oh and still can’t back any claims. Also can’t see how blatantly ridiculous your argument is on its face. Cultist seldom do realize how obvious they are ti normal people.

No matter what they say I could find two medical people who would say the opposite.

Assuming 2 people you happen to know speak for the entire field of medicine is "too stupid for words".

I didn't provide any news sources because I don't use news sources relating to covid. I just look at the raw data, which is available from many sources besides news outlets.

Again I ask, are you basing your opinions of this pandemic on information from two individuals that you happen to know?

I'm not making any outlandish claims. I am even using the lowest CFR estimates available, which should absolve me from being accused of stirring panic. Yet here you are.

Lmfao!! Oh I know you don’t but watching you indite yourself and crush your own argument for the second time is beautiful.
My sources are literally just the top 5 or 6 sites in a google search that track the global covid numbers. These sites just compile data from the various official state and country health departments. Additionally I have run across a few studies that aim to estimate the true extent of infection, but I would prefer to wait until more come around to back the results. However, so far infection rates in hard-hit areas look to be around 15-20% of the population.

And since you believe that not providing links to my sources is equivalent to "crushing" my own argument, when do you plan to provide contact information for your two sibling sources?

The data is the source. Pure and not filtered through a news outlet or a medical professional with their own biases. Why is this funny?

You brought your siblings into this. For what reason, I don't know. But you did it.

So why even mention them? And you did it as if they're some sort of unbiased, definitive source. Now you're saying they're overworked and tired, which raises two immediate questions. First, how do they have the time to even begin to examine the extent of infection? And second, are they more overworked than usual?
