maybe if "we" (coloquial we in developed nations) didn't treat certain parts of the population like cattle and just "throw anti-viral/funcal/flu" treatments at them we would have a better situation.... the

I thought there had been enough discussion recently about how the plaque isn't the trigger of but probably just another effect?

If only saving a quick dime wasn't the main goal and maybe improving the comfort of cattle class. Most systems lead to a dry throat due to bad filter designs and improper humidity regulation which is a shame.

I'm not talking about viral/bacterial factors here, clearly a better filter with a better humidity system doesn't cause you to end up with a dry throat. I'm not talking about exposure to people your in the same goldfish

At this point I'm going with a poor cultural difference and an assumption of being aggressive. I'm fed up of this. "Be excellent to watch other" was and is not difficult. I'm going with nice, but you do seem to be p

No but it's a glaring example of referring to a non consistent dataset. The data should be cleaned first to remove such problems which impacts totals. Such work then has to look at labelled as having COVID at time of death Vs sole caus

Oh the piles of bodies. Please check the details behind such claims before trotting them out. By the same US federal data COVID brought someone back to life. I'm not joking the obvious mistake is recorded and is a wonderful example of

Can't disagree to doing that for that benefit. If only we had better air systems to go with these $1,000 tickets , but that's demanding a lot from the makers of 737max and such :p

I only got upity after communal negative response which I think is justified. That's cause and effect. For sake of being nice I'll assume you're being nice rather than condescending. Again, no this is not an accusation but le

No I am not. I'm stating that this is odd from my perspective. If I were doing that I'd be saying "you're a hypochondriac" Please learn to spoken

I'm sorry but thanks for just making my point below for me...

> A sufficiently high base rate would lead to this situation even if the vaccine was 99.9% effective. In principle for these factors alone statistically yes, in reality we know this isn't the case. Calling it a vaccine is calling it

Then I apologise

by rob_c 4y ago
Yes again in the art risk groups this reduced significant symptoms hence why they're underrepresented in global hospitalisation numbers. As I keep saying it's a fantastic preventative treatment. Unfortunately many people are still

by rob_c 4y ago
No in this case there is an abuse of language which has led to the poisoning of the conversation somewhat. There, the reason being the broad change in the correct definition of the word "vaccine". In former years this would be a p

I won't argue with the global broad stroke of that definition at 1000ft not being correct. But being legally threatened and forced to leave for visiting a publicly owned and publicly accessible UK national trust land in the middle of n

I wish I wasn't having to agree. Stay safe and best wishes for you and those around you for the next few years. I'm genuinely hoping I'm wrong to be concerned.

Yey! About time :) hopefully this gains serious traction

Please stop viewing everything through the political hammer of one ideology over another. That would fail to explain what constructed the 52% or why in part the vote was called. Of course it was badly managed by a British govt but this is l

Out of the blue yes, for no reason yes, no change that would force their hand yes, nothing impacting the global economy yes ...

For the record, I'm very much anti Tory, very much a promoter of vaccines which work and very much a promoter of being able to understand and question statistical analyses in a consistent way. People can place words in my mouth but the

Please stop viewing everything as a nail for your leftwing political hammer, it's not healthy in the long-term.

Yeah that's not really a topic you want to look into unless you've a stiff drink to hand imo, a painful amount of I told you so style learning to made picking that apart...

by rob_c 4y ago
Yeah have to agree with pretty much all of that. My worry is that we are defecto the 52nd state these days and we've adopted the 2 party system from across the pond since the coalition was little more than a sitting government against

Don't worry, in 5 years we will likely read how those in charge then spoke out but we're silenced and how they knew all along and fought the good fight for us in their ivory towers... It was a simple mathematic close airports not

I'm not citing evidence for that I'm showing how both sides of the political divide won't dare touch the holy cow that is the NHS. It's interesting how every time you show there's a problem with a political party ev

by rob_c 4y ago
You would think that but a lot of people can't see beyond its the Tories in power. We'd be better off with proportional representation but the beeb did an excellent job at mis-selling that to the masses
449.
by rob_c 4y ago
Yes citing counter example of how the problem is not on one side of the political divide is clearly wrong...

by rob_c 4y ago
But let's ignore the blairite solution to sell the land and get further into debt and refuse to take more money from the populace or detach NHS funding from state pensions...
