What a surprise. 13 million people die every year. Do you want them to leave them above the ground instead?

You mean saving lives?

Yes, that damned 'left'.

Hopefully Covid19 can do to Bolsinaro what it failed to do to Boris Johnson. Gotta be some good that comes out of this train wreck.

I think rwnj’s have railed against science, for example, mmcc etc for so long they thought they were immune to it.

thing is, unlike mmcc the catastrophe wasnt years away - it was weeks.

More to the point, I don't know why you'd be laughing at that in the first place.

It goes back way further than that. Ayn Rand and her merry little band were some of the last hold-outs in the "smoking doesn't cause cancer" mantra.

Ayn rand dying broke and relying on socialist healthcare to prolong her life was kinda ironic.

Sweden is paying the price for refusing mandatory lockdowns

Sweden deaths per million is 151

lower than a number of othe European countries.

But the controversial method could soon see so many people immune that transmission of the virus is heavily reduced, according to Sweden’s state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell. Speaking to local media, Dr Tegnell said: ‘We’re still at the level we were at a couple of weeks ago. There was some kind of peak before the Easter weekend, and now there’s some kind of downturn

this transcends all traditional education facilities - doctorates and other specialists in the field are but mere apprentices to your worldly education and ability to slice through years of research with your home spun wisdom.

congratulations - you have made it as a star entry to the right wing vs science thread.

Experts eh. The same ones who got it hopelessly wrong re BSE, swine flu, SARS, AIDS etc

What did they get wrong?

 

[Doss]

I'm particularly intrigued as to how AIDS fits into a 'got it wrong' discussion...way more so than the other diseases mentioned to be honest.

AIDS has killed approaching 35 million people that we know of and has probably infected north of 100 million people by now. They are not small fry numbers.

Why didn’t they shut down the world for AIDS then? Covid19 isn’t getting anywhere near this and wouldn’t even get close if we didn’t lift a finger.

AIDS only killed the politically expendable to begin with. It was only when it hit the blood supply and you breeders started getting it that the s**t hit the blades.

Surely the difference in methods of transmission between Covid and HIV don’t need to be pointed out. Surely.

If Covid was transmitted like HIV it wouldn’t be anywhere near as big a deal.

At least with HIV the method of transmission was more fun than just getting coughed on.

Btw congratulations for your star entry into science vs the right wing.

Only the second member of bigfooty to crack a mention.

I understand that Doss but to close down countries is absolute madness.
A study in Massachusetts did a randomised test on 200 people and it was found that one third of them have antibodies for Covid19. This straight away tells us that more people have been infected than first thought so the mortality rate is lower. There are experts in Australia saying that you are safer outside than inside.
Alan Jones was talking about it yesterday morning with Harley Carnes from the US.
