Covid-19 Discussion (moderated)

   Well thank you very much..  Your explanation sounds like someone who knows what the're talking about. You don't find that too often on Chess.com.

Hmm I wondering if you are ironic? I'm antivax so hard to believe we should agree on anything haha

   This isn't Covid,...but it IS medical and it may help stop the opioid crisis.                                            https://www.yahoo.com/news/fentanyl-vaccine-opioid-epidemic-drug-high-182554305.html

100 million cases in the US since the pandemic started...

I've noticed on the Worldometers site that several US States are not reporting "new cases".

I don't know if that affects the total...

In my “neck o the woods” the health department never did have consistent and accurate reporting. With in home testing it’s difficult to know the full numbers. 

   I thought this was important enough to share.                                                                                  https://www.yahoo.com/news/vaccine-doubles-brain-tumour-survival-195626888.html

Yes, good point.

They’re called McNuggets.

  Popular anti-ageing drug may lead to brain cancer.                                                                             https://www.yahoo.com/news/popular-anti-aging-supplement-may-183042665.html

Well that explains everything RJC! 🤣

Brain cancer is nothing!

Joke

   Here's the post the whole world's been waiting yrs for.                                                                            https://www.yahoo.com/news/vaccine-breakthrough-could-finally-bring-034316828.html

   And here's the post that no-one is waiting for.    This argument started in the Fox News thread. The argument is, if old people are already in poor health....how do we know that they died from Covid.  I don't have a magical medical answer, and I don't want to post the link in the Fox thread because there's too many idiots there. This article says that cancer patients in the U.K are losing in heavy numbers. I lost my oldest sister earlier this week but it was from cancer and not Covid. I'm just grateful she's not suffering any more.                                                                   https://www.yahoo.com/news/true-impact-covid-cancer-patients-213930922.html

The UK health system is in an utter mess...nurses are planning strike action, if you request an ambulance you are told it will be there in 2-3 hours... It's parrotted that the NHS is a wonderous thing yet we pay steeply for it in taxes and it is an inefficient and dysfunctional entity.

    This is odd....        https://www.yahoo.com/news/soil-fungus-causes-lung-infections-153900843.html

some 'agencies' questioned deaths, which is awful. just one example: https://climate.law.columbia.edu/content/covid-19-data-misrepresented-florida-governor

wits-end, i think everyone can understand how reports of infection can vary. 

this is different from accurate reporting of deaths. 

for what it's worth, another reason i can't stand desantis is that he home schooled his kids while telling everyone else to send their kids to schools during the pandemic.

then there is the misrepresentation.

  I highly doubt that.
