If it was a badass drug that was kicking the rona's rear end, it would be clear from the initial smaller sample. If it only benefits a small percentage of patients, you'd need a massive sample size to show that it's not just a normal deviation from placebo.

I fed mercury to 3000 patients but only 3 recovered. I am sure it works, but 3 is such a small number, I should expand the study and feed mercury to 10,000 patients. Then at least 10 will recover, and that will be a noteworthy statistic, unlike 3

Mississippi has like 4,000 cases right now not 1,000. The only places with less than 1,000 in the IS are the ones like Montana with really low population.

Also: if a state isn't taking prevention seriously its probably not taking testing seriously either. The only way you're going to get an accurate idea of how bad this was for the South or the Interior West is by checking mortality rate increases compared to last year.

any idea how to do this?

so what is the rolling onto the stomach efficacy?

when you lay on your back, the heart puts pressure on the back of the pleural cavity, decreasing the amount of space available for gas exchange. this isn't a problem in the health individual.

when covid is destroying lung tissue though, this can add to the problem. so you have them lie in the prone position. because the heart just kinda hangs there a little better, and it frees up lung space.

it's standard for almost all cases of ARDS.

https://www.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/121078372/coronavirus-two-claiming-lockdown-makes-them-illegally-detained-sue-jacinda-ardern

quote:

Men suing Jacinda Ardern over the Level 4 lockdown's legality have made claims including an allegation a business leader and the Prime Minister conspired to ruin New Zealand's economy.

On Friday, one man told the High Court in Auckland the United Nations Secretary-General should have been consulted before lockdown restrictions were imposed.

The man, currently serving a home detention sentence, and another sued Ardern and asked for a writ of habeas corpus. The writ is a legal order stating anyone detained must appear before a court before they can be forced to stay in prison.

Effectively, the men told Justice Mary Peters the lockdown made them unlawfully detained. Both have interim name suppression.

"It's not a pandemic. It's a panic-demic and she's running the show," the first applicant said, referring to Ardern.

"She has a cup of tea with [Sir Stephen] Tindall and they both decided to ruin the New Zealand economy and take away my rights."

He said lockdown amounted to imposition of authoritarian rule.


Even his home detention sentence allowed him away from the house from 8am to 5pm, he said.

New Zealand's coronavirus death toll is now 11 but at the time of the court hearing it was nine.

He cited a quote attributed to Soviet dictator Josef Stalin: "One death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic."

"Nine doesn't even make a statistic," he said.


A model predicting 80,000 New Zealanders would die without lockdown was in his opinion an inaccurate "well-woven yarn of complete decimation," he said.

He said restrictions on hunting and swimming followed a "fallacious" premise hospital emergency rooms were too busy.

"We'll be dealing with a corpse, the corpse of rights," he added.

The second applicant told the court Ardern based lockdown decisions on no real evidence.

He added: "This application is about the legality of the actions of the Prime Minister and the Director-General of Health together to abrogate the rights of all New Zealanders."

He claimed "spurious information supplied by unknown sources" prompted a Government overreaction.

don't worry, they already set up the next goalpost by saying that if deaths stayed under 200,000 then trump did a great job. Once we hit 200k that will be changed to 'fantastic job' and we will be reminded that it would have been 2.2 million if we had done nothing. When it reaches 2.2 million, we will all be jubilant, for we had less than 3 million deaths, which is a miracle, and trump is the best president.
