Covid-19 Discussion (moderated)

Yeah, it's definitely interesting, and I'm glad someone posted it here, but I error on the side of skepticism.

isolated ? no , is your football club in this list ?

People collapsing on the streets, people burning bodies in the middle of the street, large flocks of buzzards circling over the city. I'd call that nightmarish.

edit:  Added a youtube video.  Don't watch it if you're squeamish about such things.

this is not the dark ages , refuse trucks will be converted and the dead taken to cremation or landfill whilst we stay indoors , some would consider that nightmarish too , but it is late and who needs bad sleep

I am not saying all Videos are fake, but in our modern era it is rather easy to alter Videos, by Lying about the origin or date of it, or sometimes even providing a wrong translation of what is said in it. 

I know that after the outbreak erupted in here, there was a lot of Videos circulating on the internet, supposedly proving that people were still eating bats, went to super crowded events etc etc... But then, after fact check up it turned out that somr of those Videos were taken years ago, sometimes in different countries etc..

While Videos May certainly seem to be a trustworthy source of information, Because "I believe what I See", but they are a great source of misinformation as well.

I didn't watch the video You posted @Quasimorphy , I am not saying it is misleading or wrong, I am Just saying that they can't always be trusted.

I think it's probably just a case of someone at the CDC realizing that they shouldn't give their lawyers too much work in the future. It doesn't matter - the word is out.

If you can afford to wait for the results of the randomized control trials, that's great. However, if you don't have the time, it's an option for you and your doctor to consider.

Sounds like you have nothing else to impart then.../wave.

I guess i don't have as much confidence in Ecuador's reported death numbers as you do.

Hmmmm.  I don't like the sound of this.

i've also seen news about people who have very low antibodies after recovering, possibly too low to prevent reinfection.

Premier League players announce Players Together initiative, partnering with NHS Charities. This is a fund for players to contribute directly to the NHS. Health Secretary Matt Hancock states 'Warmly welcome this big hearted decision from so many Premier League footballers... You are playing your part.'

Yes I see your opinion is entrenched. Its positive news in any case. 

Some people are underpaid (health care workers) and some are overpaid (footballers). But it is not the fault of the individual employee, it's just how it is (of course there are specific reasons but you know what I mean). A bit rich of Conservative MPs to be making such statements... who can influence the resources and wages of health care workers more than those in government? Anyway, I just feel that footballers get a lot of unfair criticism, a lot of which is prompted by the green eyed monster. They are the very fortunate few, mostly from lower income backgrounds themselves, who get to live the dream of a large percentage of little boys. These little boys then become adult men who complain bitterly about the lifestyles and wealth of others who live the dream that they couldn't. (not speaking of you specifically here @Itude, just a general point). Anyway, I'll shut up about it now. 

Just finished reading the article. Wow. A Daily Mail article that downplays something. I'm not sure I've ever seen that before.

I'll see if I can find the other article I was talking about. It was talking about some recovered COVID-19 patients having very low or even no detectable anti-bodies.  It was referenced on a youtube video i watched.

Here it is.

We dont quartaine when millions die from traffic war other diseases just daily life but we do when a few die of covid protect and distance the elderly but let young healthy people work before the economic shock will hit so many people the percentage of young people dying because of covid is too low to warrant global lockdown.

I am 27 years old and with the risk of dying of covid 90 000 people out of 8 billion mostly really old people. i rather go to work because if i dont i die of other things if i cant pay my bills and so will many other but the government wont let me.

There are many things that kill many more people than corona do you want everyone to sit in their home everyone would go bankrupt and the world wouldnt work anymore then you have problems.

I saw one guy floating the idea that we may eventually need to infect people with the minimum amount of virus to cause infection and let them get sick and recover to get them back into the workforce.  Sounds like a shaky idea to me, but who knows how this thing will play out.

we do this annually in the uk with the flu virus injection for our elderly quasimorphy ,
