Bleck posted:"Died as a direct result of symptoms of covid infection or subsequent complications thereof" seems pretty simple actually? Lets look at some examples. A patient goes to the ER with breathing trouble, ends up on a ventilator, has a heart attack and dies. If this person was positive for covid, it's a safe bet covid was the cause. Covid brought them to the ER in the first place, and very likely caused the heart attack. Another covid positive person is in a bad car accident. They're brought to hospital but die a few days later, also of heart attack. You can argue that covid makes heart attacks more likely, but it seems a minor factor here so this one probably doesn't get covid listed as a cause. A trickier example is an 85 year old with advanced alzheimers, obesity and a history of heart problems. They were looking quite close to death, then tested positive for covid, then died a few days later, also of heart attack. Was covid the cause? How does one determine this? Is covid the cause if it takes a year off your life? What about a day off your life? Determining this is basically left to the judgement of the doctor that writes the death certificate. The last one may sound like an edge case but it isn't-- most covid deaths in North America occur in elderly people with multiple comorbidities. So if you start really digging in it gets very complicated very quickly. This is why when looking at population-level numbers its better to use excess deaths. ** Anyway, lets pull this back a bit. If that Ontario policy about reporting covid deaths is about changing what goes on the death certificate, then I oppose that. Doctors need to be free to fill those out using their own judgement without pushback from the peanut gallery. If its about reporting stats with more nuance then cool, go for it. As I mentioned other provinces are already doing this, including Nova Scotia which has a good track record for the pandemic.

However in that case it looks like they're asking UW Pharmacy students who as students make approximately zero dollars.

Hmm, not exactly how I imagined Jorp leaving, and I'm amazed I didn't hear about this earlier. But as a service, I will quote the relevant parts of his pissy resignation letter to the Post with the relevant context, just as he would:quote:they had to haul my skeleton out of my office quote:My students are also partly unacceptable precisely because ... of my unacceptable philosophical positions quote:we're ... a generation of researchers utterly unqualified for the job ... lecturing inanely and blithely and in an accusatory manner quote:Just exactly what am I supposed to do when I meet a graduate student or young professor... a slap in the face to a truly meritorious young outsider? Sorry I lied, I gave up halfway through and can't recommend anyone else subject themselves to that drivel.

His resignation letter is like that sowing and reaping tweet. The guy spends all his time trolling everyone and then starts whining when everyone gets mad at him.

Ed the Sock? I mean, yes, but also it's a loving sock puppet that was vaguely popular on regional television 25 years ago, I can't imagine who could possibly care what Ed the Sock has to say about anything.

Ed the Sock pivoted to political commentary some time ago and there's nothing of value there. Just another conservative disguised as a "just asking questions" centrist except he's a washed late night personality from 20 years ago.

Kibayasu posted:I agree with the talking sock that Jordan Peterson is a loving idiot. You can see where his viewpoints really lie though because he somehow wrote the words that Peterson made "valuable" and "thought-provoking" points. So he thinks that Peterson is on the right track, but just too crazy about it. Jorp has never had a thought-provoking idea come out of his mouth and this is giving him way too much credit.

IDK, he's provoked thoughts wondering how a grown man is moved to tears recounting Disney adaptations of fairy tales, and how that man became a tenured professor.

He can go hang out with Douthat, who recently became deeply concerned that without Disney princesses having romantic relationships, children will no longer want to have families. Now there's a dude who shouldn't be allowed to live near a school, goddamn...

That poo poo about "these days, straight white men are discriminated against!" was told to me so many times applying to medical school as a straight white guy. Conservatives love the idea that PC culture has run amok and being a straight white guy is as disadvantaged as you can get.

We are just a knock off USA with a population just as malicious and shortsighted, and it's only by a few accidents of history that we have the advantages we do like UHC. There's not enough ambulances in Alberta for a boy who broke his femur, but we have money to try and provoke war in Ukraine and feed bodies to the covid mines in spite.

Franks Happy Place posted:BC has opted to go the Full Florida: A few weeks ago Kathleen Wynne was trending because she said something negative about ol' Dougie and people latched onto that to say that she would've handled the pandemic better. Horgan is just ongoing proof that nominally 'better' centre-left parties would still gently caress everything up in service of capital.

People that want to open everything up and try to go back to normal right now are so dangerously ignorant, stupid and selfish that they are a potential threat to everyone else and should be treated as such.
