Of all the things you are, Mesabah, an epidemiologist you are not.
More than 80% of Covid spread is household, Fecal transmission is certainly a significant amount larger than public droplets. Anal swabs are far more accurate for Covid testing.

Brainless? Deep-seated rage? Nah, brah. I find the collective folly of the government and your blind obedience hilarious.

What kinda ****es me off is the ventilator thing. The misstep of treating this virus with a vent and not steroids resulting in a family friend dying of “CV,” and a couple of other “close calls.” (patient begged for no vent, doc complied, friend survived)..
I'm sorry for your loss. Truly.

But you second guessing the doctors based on anecdotes only shows your immaturity. Maybe the vent friend was in a worse place than the non vent. You can't draw a direct conclusion from that.

What you can be p*ssed about is all the weeks and millions spent on Hydroxychloroquine studies. What a f*ckin waste that set us back at least a month. All because Trump is a moron.

Yep. Your anger is misguided. I hope you find an outlet.

Yes. 1.8% of the growth rate reduced compounded daily. That is a significant reduction in the growth rate after a month.

You read the article wrong, it's not compounded daily, it is the difference between the daily growth rates(natural log). The number of cases is always increasing until Covid runs out of people to infect.

Fauci the career epidemiologist failed to recognize a pandemic until it was too late. In the meantime he communicated that masks weren’t needed. Countless people died because of his folly (Birx practically said so the other night), and it sparked nationwide mistrust about the efficacy of the eventual mask mandates.

Well done Fauci. He was the expert in the midst of the first pandemic in most of our lifetimes, and he poo-pooed masks. Huge misstep and responsible for the first surge.

You know exactly what I’m talking about.

I guess you missed the part where they said the Trump administration was countermanding CDC all the time.

I find it completely irrational that you can lay the blame at the feet of a single mid-level government expert and bureaucrat, while ignoring and forgiving the rest of the bumbling cast of characters that drove us off the cliff.

Blinded by your tribalism. You're like the husband who's p"ssed at the guy screwing your wife. Hey man, she's the one who booked the hotel room.

Anger? Ha! Brah, keep saying it. “Kinda ****ed” is the new anger.

No. Ventilators are responsible for thousands of deaths. Doctors will tell you the same. The answer is steroids.

If that were true, (it's not) then wouldn't it just run away until 7 billion infections?

You are ignoring what social behavior, density, and mitigation do to the R0.

But you being wrong is like the sun rising in the east.

Okay Doctor. Glad you got it figured out. Still 1,000 dying a day. You might want to call someone and share that knowledge.
