If you read the paper, which is a meta-analysis (so it isn't just one study that is driving the result), you would have noted the conclusion that the lack of a significant advantage of a high quality respirator over a surgical mask in protecting the user from viral illness says something about...

Both teams pinned their strategy on their ace winning two games and winning the 3rd match. So it lead to the two second strongest players playing the 3rd match, and Kallberg won and gave Duisseldorf some margin. Groth did his job but Pitchford didn't deliver. You can say with hindsight that...

Baal, You don't have to post here anymore but I asked you 2 simple questions: 1. If asymptomatic spread (which is not the same as pre-symptomatic spread) was shown to be a completely insignificant driver of disease spread (almost zero), or if it was shown that influenza also spreads...

Feel free to present the studies then. I am always open to what people present. I mean, lots of people are trained to do and believe in all kinds of things, so I am not sure why you make that an argument. After all lots of people are trained to shake hands in the US and that should spread...

Which is part of the issue, but I will leave that for another time. I don't think anyone who is familiar with brokenball wouldn't treat him sympathetically for reasons beyond his control.

If it was shown either that the flu spread asymptomatically or that SarsCov2 didn't spread asymptomatically, would you change your mind? https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-020-03141-3 Accepting your position, if the literature on influenza doesn't show a significant positive effect for...

No one should really be finger pointing to anyone when it comes to how the virus has spread. Pandemics like this have been a feature of history from time immemorial . People have caught these things seasonally for centuries and everyone sort of agreed that they were part of life. The change...

I am doing okay over here. Have to be grateful for ny current circumstances. Great to hear you are doing okay too.

Every statement you made up there is one that I have never made - the issue is always context. I have never said that: Covid19 is no big deal (I have said that fear has been used to ramp up compliance with recommendations and mandates, and the fear outstrips the level of risk, which can be...

Yes, I am familiar with the analysis that Briand did. I actually watched her video on youtube before it got taken off. I think she made many good points, but that she should have quantified what she meant because her statement on excess deaths got taken literally and it was in some ways...

I don't think it is impossible to know either way - I think that in reality, few people are interested in knowing. For example, you haven't acknowledged or challenged my point that all the East Asian countries, whether they be Japan, Korea, Cambodia, China, Singapore, Taiwan, Vietnam, Thailand...

Yes, you were throwing out possibilities but you bunched them altogether in a way that made them all sound like inevitable consequences of covid19, not making a serious distinction between the consequences of covid19 and the consequences of our responses to covid19. That was my view and I...

The truth is that no one really knows whether lockdowns worked in China. Or do you know people who were falling down on the streets of Florida or New York while walking? One issue with China when it comes to the science of lockdowns is that you will struggle to find any documentation of what...

This is a good theory. What science do you have to back it up? I will give an outline of some of the issues I have with it. We can discuss alternate scenarios in good faith. There have been a variety of tests of sewage or blood samples, some more reliable than others, that have shown that...

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...
