You see, but you do not observe.

So the reason the split is 60% men 40% women affected by Covid is just that men are pigs, right? Like don't wash hands and pick boogers and stuff

This forum has taught me that there apparently are several men out there who think wiping your rear end after a poo poo is "gay"­.

You can extrapolate from there and go straight to doomed.

In Canada we're doing 55% women - 45% men in terms of deaths. I wouldn't read too much into it.

No one knows for sure, but scientists are hypothesizing that men hold the virus in their bodies longer because they have a longer urinary tract than women.

quote:

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is conflating the results of two different types of coronavirus tests, distorting several important metrics and providing the country with an inaccurate picture of the state of the pandemic. We’ve learned that the CDC is making, at best, a debilitating mistake: combining test results that diagnose current coronavirus infections with test results that measure whether someone has ever had the virus. The upshot is that the government’s disease-fighting agency is overstating the country’s ability to test people who are sick with COVID-19. The agency confirmed to The Atlantic on Wednesday that it is mixing the results of viral and antibody tests, even though the two tests reveal different information and are used for different reasons.

“People lose sleep because a disease appeared in China: the virus," Kadyrov said during a local government meeting on Saturday, according to RT.com.

Acknowledging that the rapid spread of coronavirus has been the talk of the town, the leader said that other ailments like the ordinary flu also claim thousands of lives every year.

The Chechen leader also asked people not to shun traditional medicine and remedies and stop worrying about something that is beyond their control.

“Mix lemon with honey and water and drink – then the virus won’t get you. Eat your garlic,” he said.

Warm, beautiful sunny weather is here, now begins the real test for my fellow Quebecers I guess.

I'm reassured by the fact that a gigantic proportion refused to subscribe their kids to go back to schools when they opened up in the province (outside of Montreal) and the people without masks are getting harder and harder to find.

Just went to get some liquor (for... work-related purposes?) and the park on my way was completely empty. Which is odd as I've seen a lot of people there when the weather was still lovely...

By including the antibody test results with the virus test results you both increase the total number of tests and decrease the positive test percentage. Both of which, coincidentally, make the situation appear better than it really is.

My work's office lease is up in July and they aren't renewing it because of what's going on and said we're probably remote for the rest of the year so I guess I at least have a good chance to avoid the death plague for the moment anyways.

we are born in america inundated with the entertainments of the screen. we learn that our emotions and drives are less interesting to us as an element of our humanity but rather as tools to decipher the entertainments. a dull flat mindlessness, devoid of ambition, sold ideas of chemical imbalances by industries that convinced you happiness is in a pill. only the half hearted incompetence of mimicry could exist in such a nation.

if anything, we need more karens to shine the light.

Yes, that’s what I’m trying to say

Trump put pro trump people in charge of everything, they ordered that the underlings do stuff to make the situation look better, hence why stuff like the Georgia department of public health graph happened

Trump must have put some people in at the CDC who are trying to make things look better than they actually are

One of my coworkers told me (as a high-risk person for covid-19 complications) that I could protect myself by using onions. They referred to their post on facebook that was related to the spanish (kentucky?) flu of 1918 which was just anecdotal nonsense about leaving out cut-up onions to absorb viruses. This nonsense keeps popping up every time something virus-ish comes out. This is an educated person who is a design professional, and they believe in peasant medicine.

America is in a shitload of trouble. Jesus christ, I can't imagine going back to an office with people like this in it. I really hope a vaccine is forthcoming and I can, somehow, isolate myself from folks who believe in magical bullshit.
