The bickering, madness and arguments in this thread are a perfect encapsulation of what's going on in the right wing in America right now. I am an ER MD in New Orleans. Class of 98. Every one of my colleagues have now seen several hundred Covid 19 patients and this is what I think I know. http://freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3828374/posts (linked article is a blog post, a Texas Aggies board lol, describing the typical appearance and clinical course of Covid 19 in a fair amount of detail, entirely consistent with current medical knowledge so I have no reason to disbelieve that blog poster's cred and it's actually a good post worthy of a read.) quote:To: Vermont Lt quote:To: AAABEST quote:To: shanover quote:To: CodeToad quote:To: Vermont Lt quote:To: AAABEST quote:To: BusterDog This below is a very common argument from Covid deniers that I have had made personally to me by an orthopedic surgeon I worked with, *waves hand expansively in air* "there are untold gazillion untested cases meaning the actual mortality of this thing is like zero": quote:Why is this NOT information to base a response on? Osage Orange is literally posting only zero content posts to badger anyone posting something he doesn't like to hear asking their medical credentials. quote:To: Osage Orange quote:To: Professional To: stockpirate; AAABEST Actually the death rate is 1.39%.....not 14x....it’s lower then the flu....

Hospitals are not admitting people who are stable, including many with pneumonia, if they are stable. This happened to a good friend of mine who has bilateral viral pneumonia (likely covid 19, awaiting test result) and is convalescing at home. They're only admitted if they require oxygen or other support or are about to crump in a serious way. quote:To: PA Engineer Ain't this just SOME country we got here!

Is this the first thing to really tear apart the Freep community? They can fall into lock-step on everything normally, but this is something finally big and serious enough that they're seeing consequences in person and can't just obey Daddy.

Freepers don’t know what pneumonia is, and are trying to say it’s a different specific disease rather than a description of the state of your lungs. Dumbest timeline.

One other one where they were at each others throats was the issue of Trump potentially endorsing red flag gun laws for people who could be potentially dangerous due to previous acts of violence or other contributing factors. I am guessing there was a shitload of guys on the forum who had previously committed felonies or were on the record for domestic abuse and would have had their guns taken from them if it had gone through.

In a better world, I'd hope the sane-ish freepers will take note of how their compatriots are being incredibly stupid about this and maybe start to wonder if they're being incredibly stupid about a lot of other stuff as well. This is not a better world, though, I know.

It's pretty timid though. A few jabs back and forth between posters saying "I should be allowed to put whatever I want in my body!" on one side and "You're all a bunch of degenerate hippies!" on the other. It doesn't really arc up as much as it used to, especially with weed being decriminalised or even legal in a bunch of states now.

You also get an amusing regional one regarding the civil war where (only some, sadly) northern freepers will regard Lincoln as a REPUBLICAN hero and southern ones a bloodthirsty FEDERAL tyrant so they can’t nail down a consistent narrative for it. Covid actually being life or death is certainly adding some spice though.

Tonic water is actually not a completely insane off the wall idea if antimalarials have any chance of working. At least it wouldn't be if modern tonic water wasn't limited to several orders of magnitude less quinine than is necessary for it to be effective.

One thing I want to note about the Freep posts regarding a lift of the lockdown happening concurrently with the testing of that one drug, that is particularly stupid: Drugs don't magically appear on store shelves after testing is complete. The tests have to be reviewed, the drug has to be manufactured in its final form, then that has to be tested to make sure there weren't any issues during production, the packaging needs making, instructions have to be written, then the drug has to be shipped out nationwide. The only two reasons behind re-opening the nation now is to coincide with Easter for brownie points with the religious right and to keep money in Trump's own pocket/please the owners of companies who are too shortsighted to realize shutting them down saves money in the long run.

One of the side effects of a normal dose is really vivid and weird dreams. I don’t remember much of mine anymore, but that was part of the reason I stopped taking the drug. Dreams got so weird over the course of a few days that I would be dreading going to sleep every night. We aren’t talking about your normal nightmares, this was the next level up. Like “5ft tall squirrels with razor blades for teeth vivisecting someone you had a crush on way back when” or “insects now rule the planet, and they’re getting their revenge for every one of their kind who ever had their legs ripped off by a kid (come for the screams of pain, stay for the piles of body parts they’re feasting on!)”. Other people have described waking up thinking they were in a fight to the death and losing...then leaping out of bed cranked up on adrenaline and unable to sleep for a few hours (while scaring the poo poo out of their roommates). You don’t take that drug unless you have to. Even then, get ready for a ride through a place that fever dreams sometimes fear to tread.

Northwoody has to be a troll. Or just utterly clueless. Like what are they actually complaining about here? That Trump went back on his promise to end the lockdown? I mean, I get it, they've convinced themselves he is a schemer who is just making all these super cool decisions based on super secret information, rather than a bumbling grifter who doesn't understand half his briefings on a good day, and just throws out random ideas he thinks sound good right at that point. But they only want the lockdown to end cuz Fox said they should and painted it as being some Dem plot... Huh, guess I just answered my own question. The propaganda hasn't had a proper chance to update yet and they're perilously close to experiencing cognitive dissonance, so they just get mad instead.

evilmiera posted:Northwoody has to be a troll. Or just utterly clueless. The interesting part about the fight is that Trump is the bad guy in both sides. One believes he was wrong about the virus because they're seeing their friends and family (possibly themselves too) getting infected after he said it was no big deal, the other believes it's a hoax and can only accept that Trump is either a dumb patsy or actively part of the conspiracy. They would inevitably turn on him after he leaves office and declare that they never liked him in the first place (like they've done with Romney, McCain, etc.), but this pandemic has caused the fractures to begin before the primaries are even done. We're finally faced with a crisis that he can't just lie about to make disappear.

I mean, maybe? But we heard that one before. And there's people who absolutely hate even the notion of handouts declaring one moment the 1200 bucks thing was their limit, then just days later they're back to propping Trump up based on some new conspiracy theory. And now they're declaring all these people dying is because impechment was distracting Trump in January so he couldn't do his job, and there's international corporations and China to blame, and hey because of the circumstances if less than 200k people die then Trump's the best President ever. We presume that Trump supporters and Freepers in particular care about reality, but they kinda don't.
