Gumball Gumption posted:As people run into the wall of things are not getting better they need to turn away from reality to handle it. It's why you've seen a progress from "It's just a cold bro" to " As you can see from these numbers I've gathered together that support what I want to believe it is most likely just a cold and if it is not a cold that's your fault." You mean people see a disease that killed nearly a million Americans and decide that wasn’t enough for them and crawl through Twitter till they find things confirming this is actually doomsday and the virus is worse than THEY want you to know,

You are not smart enough to interpret that study, Dr. Google PhD, and the people who wrote that study think you, personally, OOCC, are an idiot for reading it this way. Your posts are functionally identical to facebook shares from Alex Berensons''s blog, who also doesn't understand it, shared by people who also don't understand it. Nobody is going to sufficiently explain this to you because you are not smart enough to realize your shortcomings. Back on ignore you go.

That's toxic positivity. Long covid is chronic lyme part II. Lyme disease is a real disease, it causes real long term damage to people. Secondarily it is also an imaginary disease made up on the internet that had the smart idea to steal the name of a real disease to gain sympathy and make it sound indefensible to attack. Long term symptoms of covid are clearly real. It's a serious illness. A vaccine can help prevent that. Long covid is also simultaneously a vague potentially penis shrinking internet disease that does not require having covid to contract. And thus will never be helped by any vaccine.

Long symptoms of covid are real but anyone with long covid is a faking grifter has been a cool ride. It never really touched the original question, if we know enough about the long term effects of covid with the vax to really say it's safe to start walking things back but yeah, been a fun ride.

You find a real and sympathetic group then pretend when someone attacks the fake thing they really mean the real guys. No, vaccines can not prevent long covid. Having covid is not an important factor in getting long covid. Yes, Vaccines can help prevent negative outcomes of the coronavirus. Including getting symptoms or those symptoms lasting over 2 weeks.

No one in this thread seems to ever be actually downplaying covid. Covid has killed around ~850,000 americans, someone looking for information should get that number, not 8500 or 8. million. Both are wrong. This thread often gets wild misinformation. Almost always in the direction of hyperbolic nonsense from twitter. Almost never in the direction of people downplaying it.

Owlofcreamcheese posted:Again, this is the literally playbook from chronic lyme. You find a real and sympathetic group then pretend when someone attacks the fake thing they really mean the real guys. I think you'll find plenty of anecdotes about vaccines clearing up many people's long covid. My hypothesis is that many of those people's long covid symptoms were from the stress and anxiety of living in pandemic. So you're wrong on your point because you haven't sufficiently described exactly what long covid is in order to narrow the argument for you to win it Also re: discendo vox, simulations ARE informative and I don't know why you would say otherwise, especially when you're able to change the variables and see how the sim plays out. I don't know why you deny reality about what information is and is not

Like the FedEx one which brought us Delta. nomad2020 posted:Personally I'm going to use Australia as my death yard stick after another month or two. If extremely mild I'll roll my eyes when the couple of people ITT who say the lockdowns did nothing speak up. If not, I'll agree with them because better things were never possible in the Anglosphere. Nobody here has argued that lockdowns did "nothing." We argued that they were no longer sufficient to drive cases down to COVID-zero, a distinction a lot of people here seem to find difficult to grasp. They were certainly necessary in the sense that they prevented transmission from being worse and saved thousands of lives while we bought time to get from a 30%ish to a 90%+ adult vaccination rate. If things get so bad that the hospital system is on the brink of total collapse then yes we should do a European-style circuit-breaker lockdown for a few weeks, like the Netherlands is doing now. (And unlike the US, we will.) But that should be the only trigger for a lockdown and it should last only as long as it takes to bring cases down to a manageable level again. We are not confining people to their homes for further months and months and months on end in pursuit of the impossible dream of COVID-zero. freebooter fucked around with this message at 21:43 on Dec 30, 2021 |

Owlofcreamcheese posted:You spent so much time on covid you made a whole weird videogame out of it and started trying to use it to predict covid outcomes! "A whole weird videogame" is a very strange way to describe a theoretical modeling tool just because it uses pixel art. The fact that you orient on it being "a video game" and not an amateur theoretical modeling tool--made, for free--indicates that you want to pretend its a fake and worthless thing. Maybe it has flaws, but you using someone's free self project as a cudgel just makes you look like a loving jackass. edit: So far I've yet to see any flaws at that with regard to the conclusion that "covid is a serious loving thing and omicron is even worse."
