Current Events > Biden announces new messaging to encourage unvaccinated mouth breathers

(+) Yeah! (+)

They are in fact overloaded during flu season...

Right so no one cared about the flu, double the deaths and severe illness due to flu and suddenly everyone cares. Covid isn't more than that, it is double flu, right? according to those numbers? You hear about flu season in passing in a news report once a year maybe, or on a morning show telling people to get their shots AT MOST, so double that is nationwide panic and the shut down of the entire country?

Wow man you really do lack a basic understanding of numbers

You have only insulted you don't argue at all. You just insult. It doesn't bother me but it is kinda indicative of how fragile your argument is.

We compared patients admitted to BIDMC with COVID-19 in spring 2020 to patients admitted to BIDMC with influenza during the last five flu seasons. We found that COVID-19 causes more severe disease and is more lethal than influenza.

Read like .... the rest of it, I know that's hard for you "fam" but keep going to the actual numbers.

The team found that, on average, 210 patients were admitted to BIDMC during each eight-month flu season, compared to the 582 patients with COVID-19 admitted in March and April 2020.

You do realize that 210 people over 8 months is substantially less than 582 in two months?

By all means, do elaborate.

1. Incorrect
2. Severe Illness you recover from is still severe illness

Again, you have to love how telling people to get vaccinated so they and their loved ones don't die is treated as a *bad* thing

What? If they go flu over 8 months is 210, and covid over 8 months is 620 is far less effective but we can go a step further, because we agree that covid numbers are seasonal, and that an actual flu season is not 8 months in reality... we could go "flu over 2 months is 210, covid is 580 over 2 months" so now we can quantify the risk compared to flu, but instead the article tries to avoid making any quantifying statements...That **** is very intentional, but since you guys are gonna be super hostile, I'm gonna leave you guys to it. Later.

So you spew some idiocy and pretend it's a mic drop.

Life must be great for the delusional.

1. There are still long-term effects that are not entirely clear
2. Even if *you* recover, you're still spreading it around to other people who might not
3. You can still get Covid even if you've already had it

freedoms are eroded

I thought you were leaving.

And quit calling me fam.

"But what about all the people who got Covid and then recovered? Checkmate, liberals!"

To compute volume of admissions between the two diseases, weekly counts of hospital admissions and mechanically ventilated patients were assessed during the peak two months of influenza seasons from 2014-2019 and from March-April 2020 for COVID-19.

Underrated epic post. mad upvotes incoming

Ahem.

Well shutting down their businesses and allowing giant companies to conduct a giant theft of the middle class's wealth for a disease with a sub 1% mortality rate is a pretty good financial incentive to do as they bid.

Once again nothing. Nothing was added to the discussion, hombre.

So you legitimately just cannot read.

Been making a lot of projections on me in this topic, haven't you?

So you can't read or manage your short term memory.

So dems are cold heartless bastards in other words
