There are clearly excess deaths. 300K deaths is quite a bit so the issue becomes about cause and whether the approach taken to address covid19 made thing better or made things worse. But I will discuss this later when I have time. Right now I am being accused of watching TV channels that I...

Since Baal is the expert (and any other experts is free to defend him), where is the science on lockdowns in the literature on handling pandemics for influenza? What analysis does one perform to determine whether lockdowns are the best approach to containing a virus like covid19? Obviously...

Does Covid19 cause teenage suicides? Work related depression? There seems to be this idea that lockdowns were the only way to contain covid19. Your post aboive continues this idea.

What a match point!!!!

Sorry to hear about your case. What do you think you could have done better to avoid/improve your condition?

Korea is going through winter it seems so cases are rising. But as many studies have shown, the spread is always more than the testing reveals even testing is widespread. Here is one paper that argues that they tested about 600 people in Japan, got 46% seroprevalence and no one got...

Baal has repeatedly performed character assassination of anyone who disagrees with him. I do not remember ever citing Scott Atlas on this forum because I had stopped discussing Covid19 on TT forums well before Scott Atlas became a lightning rod for covid19 debate. So the fact that Baal...

Okay. That sounds like a lot but let's put it in context. If we had 3000 deaths a day, that would be over 1mm deaths in the US YTD. So it's more likely you are citing a particular day. Which day? 1. How many people die on an average day in the US? 2. What were the ages of the people that...

Why didn't you post the second article when you made your initial point? While you admit the risk is small, you get an anecdote from another story/article, use it to scare people, and then mock me for citing research because the research is old, not because the research is wrong. It was...

Since the Sporting vs UMMC matchup only listed 3 matches, I assumed UMMC won all 3 trivially and was pleasantly surprised this was not the case.

Good video and article from the Washington Post. https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2020/12/11/coronavirus-airborne-video-infrared-spread/

Good you do. I think that if anything is stated, it needs to be checked against the facts. Maybe the US might see enough deaths in the future to have the largest Covid19 crisis in the world. Maybe the total number is all that matters though the context is for a country is the 3rd most...

I agree with the thrust of what you are saying. That said, I don't think they "forget", to be honest. Many people are doing the best they can with the recommendations/mandates and I suspect when they realize that their control over the spread of Covid19 is not as strong as they think it is...

I am okay with common sense being advocated as common sense. I am okay with it being pushed as common sense in the absence of experimental evidence. But I think it is dangerous to claim common sense is scientific. I think if you do anything in public, wear a mask. What I don't like is that...

Can find a Vanderbilt paper anywhere. Seems to be something that showed up in a report that the newspapers picked up and hasn't be peer reviewed or exposed to independent audit...

This is true. That said, with other countries, you also have other confounders if you are thinking about the problem scientifically. In fact, I believe that the main reason why people overestimate the impact of masks is that they look at what happened in East Asian countries and focus on mask...

I agree with this - I do think the first paper is bad but I agree with the overall message. One of the things that led me to start taking potential issues with masks seriously was when Deborah Cohen of BBC Newsnight said that the WHO recommendations on mask wearing changed not because of new...

I have looked at the Kansas study - if the study were against masks, you would see the problems with it more clearly. Even before the study was published by the CDC, Kansas had used it to advocate mask use. And critics noticed the problem (see the article below from the WSJ). Kansas Health...

I agree on Vitamin D, which for whatever reason is not advertised by the CDC or the media, but arguably has much stronger evidence in its favor than masks, especially for the dark-skinned, ethnic minority populations in the Northern hemisphere that are affected by covid19...
