I feel like Brady is the perfect QB for Johnson. I am pumped to watch them.

For some further consideration here, when clinicians have journal clubs where they sit down and review peer reviewed literature, at the end of reviewing there is a common phrase discussed which is, “How does this literature change my practice?” The anecdotes noted by the PSU researcher are just...

Framing continual evolution of understanding as a failure of medical science, not as part of the process, is where it starts to tip toe that line. Lol an ideologue really? Where are you getting that?

Nothing’s perfect, that doesn’t mean it’s broke. All great and important issues that have been long-standing areas of improvement. The scientific community is extremely self-aware of these issues... sounds kinda like an anti science talking point to be honest... It’s interesting how I agreed...

Of course I’m concerned about those things. Those things still happen outside of Covid, but they aren’t legitimized and given a voice because no one cares, because if it’s not useful for a narrative, why ever repeat it? We’re giving voices to people that have no business influencing public...

Sorry I meant the myocarditis reports coming from anywhere, not just from this doc. The waters get muddy when we expect people to make judgements without all the info, and then judge their actions later when we have better info. Trying to say the threshold is of course going to be different, but...

How did I ignore it? I agreed with PompousElitists points, which this tweet basically supports. Did you read my post?

Sorry how does this pertain to what I said?

I agree with PE, here say and anecdotes are not scientific or medical opinion that the public should put a lot of stock in. At the same time, if I was a decision maker and caught even a whiff of this, I’d have a hard time proceeding with the season as planned. I think the threshold is a lot...

This absolutely blows, I don’t know what I expected but I was holding out hope. Honestly it’s probably better than trying to navigate the waters of what happens when teams inevitably have infections. Crossing my fingers this gives us more time to get it figured out and we can have some...

Yeah I’m a big proponent of masks in general but we’re living in La La Land if we think they’re gonna do much for us in such a high contact sport as football. You can get used to the breathing aspect, but when it comes full contact and game time these guys are gonna be handling mouthguards...

This really is my last one because it is clear you don't actually read the things I write to you. It's a good thing we haven't been in lockdown in months. Even Sweden is hurting economically. There is no perfect solution, but we CAN push for smart, well thought out strategies. Is that what...

SON, I apologize for making this thread off topic, this will be my last post arguing with GR on the topic. Uhhhh, so you agree with researchers and clinicians that the IFR is around 0.5%, awesome, proud of you. So by your math (and researchers) 10% of the population has been infected, but you...

GR please read this whole post, especially the later information. For the hundredth time, baseline lethality itself is not necessarily where the danger lies, however, at 0.05% IFR: 0.0005 * 2 * 1000 = 1 (aka 100%) so if we calculate from current deaths: 160500 * 2 * 1000 = 321,000,000...

Just saying, the flu is no joke, people forget that. Covid is worse.

The 1918 flu and swine flu were essentially seasonal influenzas. The flu can be pretty bad, usually it’s not for younger people, but it certainly can. Usually it’s when the variants of the influenza strain are novel, so not much preexisting immunity and no vaccine. It’s why we try so hard to...

Agreed, I had a test and it took 12 days to get my results. An utter disgrace by red and blue states alike. People will not take action unless they know they’re infected, not telling them for 2 weeks is next to useless.

Short and sweet, I like it.

You make arguments about March with the benefit of hindsight, things looked much differently then. We botched trying to get test and trace implemented, it's over now and we have to deal with what we have in a different way. But contact tracing HAS been successfully implemented elsewhere...

First, who is still locked down in the US? If your threshold is managing spread so hospitals don’t get overwhelmed, isn’t that what the US is doing? Lockdowns were initiated because the northeast DID have overwhelmed hospitals. Who are these imaginary villains you’re aggrandizing? Second, while...
