Ok so let's all gather into groups of a thousand because apparently that's safe
 
I saw an article saying that the virus was weakening in Italy. It was now less likely to kill you.
 

If everyone who is "at risk" in the flu season was given a large bottle of Vit D at the autumn solstice we would stop a lot of deaths every year.

Nothing is infallible because there are people who are going to die from other causes and their death is brought forward by CV19 and or the flu, sad but true.

I agree it would be nice if we could have a vaccine but one test in USA showed a 20% bad reaction in Healthy young people, bit of a worry when we are going to start with at risk people first.

Any vaccine is an unknown quantity, Vitamin D and exhalation masks are a known, proven defence against nasty bugs from Asia, all we have to do is just DO it.................

Not sure what to make of this. Doesn’t sit well with me.

Did Government action at the time prevent deaths from rising further?
Should we have locked down earlier?

or ...

 
When you have people like these ignoring all the warnings and risks, then you wonder if we will ever get rid of this thing.

The US has just recorded its largest daily increase in cases ever. 36k in a single day. The hot spots are no longer in the NE, but in the South where the risks have been downplayed by religious leaders, mainly republican governors and of course the super spreader in chief himself.
 
How did The Lancet's now-retracted study on hydroxychloroquine make it through peer review?

We all know how it did. Cancel culture....

Talked to the daughter the other day about peer reviewed research (has presented papers and reads zillions of papers) about how it worked .

Answer was (my interpretation) is mug punters taken them at face value.

For any to be worthy for her is 1st review and know the reviewers.

The discussion has to add up against the papers findings / data apparently a large percentage fail this basic step.

Check the data and how its obtained, method etc bla bla against the discussion.

And much much more technical stuff.

I don't honestly think its cultural.
 
In this instance it was an issue as Trump had mentioned it. So it was all about politics as one side said it was dangerous while the other were having a bath in it.
