COVID-19

Postby nocera » Tue May 26, 2020 10:08 am

How nice of the rest of the world to play along with America's big ruse that is Coronavirus.
I tried to push back on it but I got that "that's just what I believe. That's what I think is going on." So I figured out pretty quickly that facts and sources aren't important with him.

Oh and I heard from a different family member on a different day that they won't be getting the vaccine since it'll have a microchip in it to track their movements. I tried to let her know that a microchip isn't necessary when we carry around smartphones with us at all times but again, there's no talking to people who think this way.

This is a good thread, but she's a master of public health, so Freddy might not want to read:

Her pinned tweet is full of fabrications about gun violence being a public health issue, so I'm likely to ignore her more for that reason.

My sister in law posted on FB about not being able to go see her grandmother in the nursing home and how devastated she was that she couldn't be with her and spend time with her... she also started the post with "Dictator Wolf has decided..." so yeah. We put the snooze on her for 30 days.

Everyone wants to be the "exception" it seems. I would love to visit by grandma in her nursing home. She most likely doesn't have much time left. But I understand the restrictions, especially there.

These governors have a tough job. Some may have too many restrictions, some not enough, but when dealing with an unknown, its difficult.

This is a needlessly instigating post.

Do you think an MPH automatically makes someone an authority on, well, everything in healthcare? There are plenty of people with Master's Degrees that hold pretty baseless and dumb views in their field of study. Rand Paul is a physician, but that doesn't necessarily make him an expert on the epidemiology of COVID. Which I'm sure you've pointed out at some point in this thread.

Her thread was fine. It wasn't any new information at all, and it's basically what the CDC has been saying all along.

Calling out a user by name was unnecessary. Just looking for a fight for some reason.

I only made the jab because I think it's dumb to discredit someone's credentials because you don't like science or whatever Freddy's conniption is.

But try reading the thread. There's multiple sources as backup.

But you get why it's unnecessary to throw a jab at someone out of nowhere right? Especially in a thread that's supposed to be devoid of politics.

Exactly. I wasn't referring to the Twitter thread, hence why I said "post". I actually liked the thread. Calling out posters is annoying, especially outside of the PDT.

we took a nice afternoon walk on a nearby path this past Saturday. the path is about 6 feet wide so most people walk in a column when others approach. we were about 3/4 done when a young couple with their dog approached from the opposite direction. I moved to a column but they (no masks, though we don't wear ours out walking either) didn't, putting them probably 3-4 feet from us. the woman was wearing a Emory University School of Public Health t shirt. seriously??? :scared: :face:

COVID-19 is being opportunistically co-opted by minority activists. It's not wrong, per se.

Claiming that you think PHDs and MPHs aren't smart because you have an aversion to science isn't a political take imo.

But it's ridiculous enough of a take that it still needed pointing out with regards to the thread, since the original take was posted here.

I'm not referring to the woman that posted that Twitter thread, but let's not pretend that having an advanced degree automatically makes you smart, trustworthy, or someone that we should listen to without question.

I certainly am inclined to hold them in higher esteem, and I've been pretty "pro-science" throughout this thread and elsewhere.

Again that wasn't the point. But whatever. We had that discussion last week. I've said what I needed to.
