Coronavirus skeptics

I remember reading how some of survivors from the Las Vegas strip mall shooting received death threats afterwards because conspiracy nuts thought they were state actors in a fake operation designed to deprive them of their 1st amendment rights.
I hope they're focusing more on critical thinking skills in schools these days. The era of fake news, make up your own facts and crapping on science imo is doing us profound harm.

 

In keeping with my sarcastic responses - Unless you were actually there how do you know it was true? Those boxes could've been empty, did you count them?
See how easy it is to be a sceptic

 

it's Trump's gun stash

 

Sounds terrible - and secretive - until you read past the headlines to the following para in the article:

‘The bodies were found in a small morgue at the Andover Subacute and Rehabilitation Centres over two days, where they were being held until they could be picked up by a funeral home.‘

 

What do we mean by being ‘skeptical’?

I for one, and deeply skeptical as to whether the WHO should be allowed to continue as is, considering it has been entirely compromised by a fascistic, Communist state.

 

Not the first time....

When the dust settles .....

 

I have to say I was pretty damn sceptical of it from the start. China contained the media on the outbreak and then the reporting was that vast majority of deaths were otherwise ill.

I was thinking no worse than the flu. In some ways that may very well be true but the fact that there is no immunity in the community and no vaccine has meant the spread was very difficult to contain. Sheer numbers of infections have made for a high number of deaths even if the percentage of people dying is not high. The numbers infected will never be known as many never show symptoms.

I guess I am now on the opposite end of the spectrum I am skeptical of any claims of eradication or zero infections. I tend to think we end up with with herd immunity and smaller outbreaks but the virus continues to kill thousands each year likely seasonal like the flu. Vaccines may not happen as it has never been achieved for a Coronavirus before and it is quite a risky proposition given that it is possibly the immune response killing many as opposed to the virus itself

 

Thing is its ok to have different opinions.

However, I cant tolerate born again hypocrits

 

Here's an article showing total number of deaths from all causes compared with historical averages. It shows this comparison for different countries and cities - I think it's a good article to show to coronavirus sceptics.

I think in years to come, on a global scale we will be questioning the sanity of lock down and whether in fact we did the right thing???.
its way too early

I'm no anti vaxxer but yeah I'm not sure I'll be one of the first lining up for a rushed-out-of-the-door vaccine. Will employ maximum courtesy in allowing others to cut in the line before me.

 

Wonder if that sore throat I had in January (in Bali) was C19. Hopefully...it lasted a whole week.

 

Our whole household came down with a nasty cold early Feb ... would be great to have a cheap and easy antibody test

 

I had a similar experience in early Feb and would now really like to what it was.

FBI Arrests Bill Gates For Biological Terrorism After Tip Off From Melbourne 5G Protestors — The Betoota Advocate

The arrest of Bill Gates is reportedly the result of a tip-off from the Melbourne conspiracy theorists who breached Victorian lockdown restrictions yesterday to spread ‘the truth’ about this so-called pandemic...

Regardless, it seems that their brave efforts to spread the truth have paid off overnight, with the FBI finally arresting Bill Gates on charges of biological terrorism and the recently invented crime of coronavirusmaking.

Speaking to the Betoota Advocate today, leading Victorian anti-5G-anti-vaccine-anti-lockdown protestor, Keith (49), says while he appreciates seeing Bill Gates arrested – this is just the tip of the iceberg.

 

I guess we still have icebergs because climate change is fake as well.
At least the guy is consistent
