I am not saying that BCG is the only factor, I support lockdowns and testing

but if it has an effect, you want to see whether the old people have it or not, no? whether the people born after 1990/2000 have it or not doesn't matter as much, it would seem, since it affects old people much more in any case

as for portugal's effects, I just quoted a giant post about them filled with details, the one where that chart was

I realize you are kind of a troll but I am arguing with you anyway because you are serving as a foil

Plenty of old people dying in BCG countries. I am not trolling you, by the way. I realize for zealots it can be hard to discern a normal level of skepticism from trolling. The only foil is of the tin variety. Your quoted post didn't really go into that much detail. There is, as of right now, nothing to point to BCG doing anything. There's just a mild amount of correlation.

2-14 days for infection to become symptomatic. 2 weeks after becoming symptomatic to die in cases that turn fatal. 3 weeks after becoming symptomatic to recover in cases that are non-fatal.

By the start of May almost all of those cases will have shown up and by the middle of May almost all will have resolved.

Not a single pastor who decided to hold in-person services instead of drive-up or streaming will ever take responsibility for what they did.

lol that pastor in VA who did this was held responsible by nature when he died from the virus which he almost certainly caught while holding a meeting despite being told it's a bad idea

yeah hey I agree, I'm not holding on to this theory for dear life, let's see how it plays out

a bunch of clinical trials are either planned or already happening and there have been a bunch of correlational studies, but as I pointed out earlier, I think there are too many factors for those to be taken at face value

the points you are raising are valid, we don't have perfect access to all information from all countries and it's possible to bicker about those facts endlessly without coming to any conclusions

Besides the correlational studies there were a bunch of other studies done which seem to explain the way BCG is protective against viral infections, and that gives me some more confidence in it. But not everyone likes those either and I don't know. Neither does anyone else, but the whole scientific world is dealing with this problem now, many countries are running studies, and even the WHO had to release a statement today where they said there is no clear evidence which supports it, but also saying that they are curious about the results of upcoming studies. If you're trying to give me reason to doubt, there is no need, I think we are all pretty much on the same page here.

edit: however if it turns out I was right I will be a total dick about it

That seems like it would lead to a significant understating of the true number of cases. I suppose though they might be still trying to conserve test kits or something.

yes, the stated guidelines essentially exclude non-acute outpatients who don't have a known contact -- the good news is that, at least in qld, there isn't a testing shortage at the moment so i think they're being pretty liberal with giving it to those who request it

just found out the husband of a family friend has it and is on day 3 of symptoms. she isn’t showing symptoms so she can’t get tested...this is going to be the worst of both worlds because we are going to be off by 10-20x, enough to really gently caress over any attempt at predictive / responsive action and ALSO not enough that everyone banking on “we are so close to herd immunity” will have the rug pulled out from under them when they realize that’s only like 10% of the population and we need to hit 80%+ to even sniff herd immunity

Every weekend like clockwork we have a decrease in deaths due to reporting issues which leads to the mainstream media proclaiming each new drop every weekend is the beginning of the end and the worst is over.

We are massively under counting deaths nationwide. New York added 3,700 previously unattributed deaths today pushing us to almost 30,000 as a nation. This may not even be all of the deaths there, it's just a portion of the unusual death activity but still leaves thousands of deaths above the typical monthly rate out as of now. But if the numbers hold out we would be at, easily, a total of more than 40,000 nationwide.

During all of this large portions of the country and government are demanding to REOPEN FOR BUSINESS so that we can slam face first into a second, even worse, wave of the pandemic.
