TimmySmith 2,782 Posted December 18, 2020 2 hours ago, Strike said: This is untrue. While old people are a high-risk category, especially for death, younger people can still catch the disease and need treatment. Where did I say the can't catch it and don't need treatment? I stated focusing the vaccine on strictly high risk cases will lower hospital rates. I think I'll stand by that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TimHauck 2,909 Posted December 18, 2020 On the plus side for Moderna - theirs is supposedly easier to transport and store, so Trump saving the country money and being able to get it to rural areas easier may have been part of the decision to order more of the one. https://www.cnn.com/2020/12/17/health/moderna-vaccine-what-we-know/index.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lod001 1,344 Posted December 18, 2020 pfizer's is garbage. Needs stored at ridiculous temperatures, probably doesn't even work. My guess is after this bug mutates some more it will be useless. They powers at be will 'roll it into the normal flu vaccine' and will tell you that the flu vaccine now covers covid. That is how they will phase out covid.

Lefties want to give the vaccine specifically to minorities even though other demographics have an exponentially larger rate of death. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
naomi 356 Posted December 20, 2020 Tested positive yesterday (started isolating last Sunday morning at symptom onset). I don't quite trust the testing but wound up needing to do it. I did a rapid antigen (not antibody) test rather than PCR. So far, doing decent, but threw a wrench into some other people's plans, which stinks. I stayed away from my friend who's very careful about C19 for two weeks, on the heels of Thanksgiving, which he spent alone. Then we hung out the night before my symptoms set in.

TimHauck 2,909 Posted December 20, 2020 Moderna vaccine only has about 1/10 the minimum order of Pfizer’s, and may also prevent asymptomatic infection (haven’t seen any details on if Pfizer’s has looked at that). Starting to seem like Trump may have made a good move going heavier on Moderna. https://www.statnews.com/2020/12/19/a-side-by-side-comparison-of-the-pfizer-biontech-and-moderna-vaccines/ https://www.reuters.com/article/health-coronavirus-moderna-asymptomatic/moderna-says-its-covid-19-vaccine-may-prevent-asymptomatic-infection-idUSFWN2IV07D 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Utilit99 4,099 Posted December 20, 2020 They come right out and admit that if someone who tested positive for the chinese flu and dies in a motorcycle accident it counts as a covid death in the numbers. And they are following the CDC's practices of this. PORTLAND, Ore. — Fred Creasy was diagnosed with stage 4 colon cancer at the end of June. Doctors gave the 81-year-old just 30 days to live. He died at the end of July while in hospice care at Avamere Rehabilitation Facility in Newport. “They told my daughter you better come down here because it's going to be today. And within five hours he was gone,” said daughter Rhonda McCrary. A KGW investigation raises questions over how the state of Oregon tracks COVID-19 deaths. McCrary said her father tested positive for COVID-19 around the same time of his cancer diagnosis. “He had no symptoms. He wasn't even quarantined,” said McCrary. McCrary said her dad died from advanced cancer and Avamere considered Creasy recovered from the coronavirus. A few days after his death, Lincoln County Public Health reported Creasy as the county’s ninth COVID-19 death. “I mean, that’s not what he died from. He died from colon cancer, not COVID and places are listing loved ones as COVID deaths. And they're labeling that and it's just not true,” said McCrary. McCrary said Creasy died with COVID-19, not from COVID-19, and there’s obviously a difference. .... ..... According to the Oregon Health Authority (OHA), there is no difference when it comes to tracking and reporting COVID deaths. OHA spokesman Jonathan Modie explained in an email how the state determines what is counted as a COVID-19 death: We consider COVID-19 deaths to be: Deaths in which a patient hospitalized for any reason within 14 days of a positive COVID-19 test result dies in the hospital or within the 60 days following discharge So what does that policy mean in practice? We asked Modie about a hypothetical case where someone died from a motorcycle crash and also had COVID-19. Would that be counted as a COVID-19 death? “It would be,” Modie explained. “But I must go back to the point about how we used this data, which is to help us track how COVID-19 is spread in the community.” He added that the state follows the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines for reporting deaths. https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kgw.com/amp/article/news/investigations/questions-over-the-accuracy-of-how-the-state-tracks-covid-deaths/283-0b1b7b6c-695e-4313-92cf-a4cfd7510721 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Utilit99 4,099 Posted December 20, 2020 So in the above article they are using the "died from covid" death designation tag simply to track the number of cases out there. Which is pissing people off because they are tallying false numbers and those who lose someone to cancer or what have you are being reported to with lies. It's all a lie.

There are 2 different numbers. Yes, there is one that says “with covid.” But there is also one that lists if covid was the underlying cause. Last I checked for about 90% of the “with covid” ones also have it as the underlying cause. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TimHauck 2,909 Posted December 20, 2020 33 minutes ago, drobeski said: Cases .. Lol Give me death rates.... you know, the numbers that actually focking matter. Clowns. So about average for the US in terms of deaths/MM population is “well” now? If Florida were a country, it would be #17 in terms of total deaths, despite having about half the population of all the countries above it. But yeah, I was kinda expecting Florida would look worse due to all the old people. I’d guess it’s the weather. I have read some studies saying it spreads the most when temps are 40-60 degrees. Which could help explain some of the Midwest states already starting their downward trend of new deaths despite some theorizing the winter would continue to make it worse.
