Part 2: the delta variant is ravaging areas with low vaccination rates
Good job, guys.
I think we're in different social media bubbles. I never see videos like that recommended.Catoptric wrote: ↑Tue Jul 06, 2021 6:23 amCovid likely created in lab

Found this video informative about the anti-vaxxer movement:starjots wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 4:44 amCases and deaths heading up again in US. It's enough to dent my general faith in the human race (note the word faith)*. In many nations you can't get a shot, here you just go into the damn drug store and they'll give it to in right away. But hundreds of people would rather not and are dying every day.
True, but the problem is that there are people who cannot be vaccinated, and rely on healthy people to get vaccinated to try to reach higher levels of herd immunity. So the Drago approach of "if he dies, he dies" is not the full story.Senseye wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 4:57 amIf shots are that readily available, and presumably effective, then everyone with any common sense should have partaken and be immune (at least from a serious case).
As such, Darwin is now in charge. No sympathy for any unvaccinated by choice from me at this point.
I read a study from the UK which said their FFP3 (N99) masks are nearly 100% effective at preventing disease in Covid ICU wards.
I would like to see this quantified. From what I can tell, most of the people who "can't be vaccinated" probably can be vaccinated. It's just that clinical trials haven't yet been conducted on them. Children for example. Children seem to be at very low risk from serious illness from covid so I don't worry about them too much.
I tend to agree; and that it's a bit like the claims regarding Lyme disease and a certain bacteria that is thought to be tested (and thought by some to be created) in the secretive Plum Island off of Long Island in NYC, which had existed prior to them ever testing it (which partly explains why some of the documents covering the subject are still classified.)Utisz wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 6:02 amI think we're in different social media bubbles.

A lot of what he says is true, and not a lot of what he says is strictly false, but the video is skewed. He gains credibility in the first half, but in the second half, in particular, he skews heavily towards suggesting a specific origin, he conflates two theories, and he overreaches again and again.

The near 100% effective number is encouraging, although that's N99, I have plenty of N95. Layered on top of Moderna's 98 to 99% effectiveness, the results should be 1 - (.05 x .02) = 99.9% effective. Now that might sound paranoid, but 1 in 1000 for a breakthrough case of a very serious disease is what I'd call moderate risk.jyng1 wrote: ↑Fri Jul 16, 2021 6:53 amI read a study from the UK which said their FFP3 (N99) masks are nearly 100% effective at preventing disease in Covid ICU wards.
I was watching something about the Olympics the other day with some Japanese footage and every single person was wearing a mask properly. Just after that they had something from Fiji and someone was talking to a nurse with their mask around their chin...
