I know dozens who have come back completely healthy
- AlbertCory 2y agothat's what "anecdata" means
- DiggyJohnson 2y agoAnd you can reasonably apply the same grace to the person you're replying to...
- AlbertCory 2y ago"dozens"?? is that one dozen? Two? More? how do you know all these patients? Or you just made them up?
- DiggyJohnson 2y agoWhy are you being so skeptical? I know dozens of people that have gone cruising and I don't exactly belong to the stereotypical cruising crowd. Assuming and a accusing a commenter is lying directly breaks HN guidelines.
- AlbertCory 2y agoI think you've got it 100% backwards, so don't be quoting Scripture at me like it means anything. I know three people who've come home sick. He's the one being skeptical and quoting a well-known meme: https://tenor.com/search/there-are-dozens-of-us-gifs https://tenor.com/search/there-are-dozens-of-us-gifs
- sumeno 2y agoI was not referencing Arrested Development. Dozens is a term that was used to describe groups of people well before AD and the context here doesn't fit the meme at all. I am not skeptical at all that you know three people who got sick on a cruise, but out of the 30+ million people who cruise in a year it's completely meaningless. A CDC study showed that only about 0.18% of cruisers get a stomach bug I could easily come up with a list of 24+ people who have gone on a cruise and not gotten sick. Why are my dozens less valid than your 3? You can post your anecdata but don't get mad when someone counters it with their own.
