That's exactly how conspiracy theories are started by spreading BS without facts. It's usually done when people don't like the narrative and they want to change it.I said “Truth? Dunno, But it does give one a moment for pause.”
I never claimed it as fact, just something I read AND I also said I wasn’t sure if it was fact or not. I pointed to that as a means of showing there is a lot of confusion and we are at a point of not knowing what to believe.
That's a story from a left wing news media that contains actual medical information and sources. I'm sure someone will come along and refute that with a "report" from a reputable source from an unnamed fact checking site that will give us "pause for thought."
I'm still waiting for your source for Fauci being corrupt. Until then I'll stay on my high horse so I don't step in any of the BS you're spreading around.You can get off your high horse anytime.
In the article, Dr Gupta suggested Memory Cells can release antibodies when past pathogens enter the body but you cannot detect them.
That, along with everything else in that story still suggest they don’t know enough to make any sort of recommendation other than finding a sweet spot vaccine is the best possible situation. Until then, they don’t know if asymptomatic people spread it or not. They don’t know if Asymptomatic people are immune, they suggest probably not because of the lack of anti-bodies but they don’t know.
They also citied a study of what? 40 people in China? Not very big of a case study.
Japan May Have Beaten Coronavirus Without Lockdowns or Mass Testing. But How?
Here is another of your Left Wing rags that notes they have no idea why Japan came out of this relatively unscathed compared to many other countries. They pretty much made a half-hearted approach to shut down, yet they’ve done really well.
There are many examples where the information is beyond conflicting as to what is right or wrong.
Unfortunately, one of the growing issues with COVID, at least from a social media standpoint, is people post something they think is interesting (factual or not), others believe it to be completely factual, they get riled up, share it, getting more people riled up, and the questionable info spreads like wildfire. This leads to conspiracies and divisive society. Once it gets going, there's no stopping it.

It would be interesting to see how this projects over other countries. We all know the issues down south, but Italy has reported the same thing (ill try to find the link).

'An announcement on Stage 3 could come within the next week or so, according to Dr. Paul Roumeliotis, medical officer of health for eastern Ontario. He told a videoconference with reporters on Tuesday that officials are looking at increasing the maximum size of gatherings and allowing customers inside restaurants.'

It's all about "confirmation bias".Unfortunately, one of the growing issues with COVID, at least from a social media standpoint, is people post something they think is interesting (factual or not), others believe it to be completely factual, they get riled up, share it, getting more people riled up, and the questionable info spreads like wildfire.

Its no different on here thou. Someone posts something that may be deemed either too positive or too negative and it gets jumped on. Personal bias or experience can jade or take away objectivity with any subject, COVID related talk isn't immune to that. I wish we could have more nuanced or relaxed dialog about everything, but I'm not sure that's an option sadly.
I have zero idea how to evaluate this.
1 - more people not presenting symptoms are being tested so it is reasonable to assume asymptomaic positive results obviously result in less hospital stays. We could very well have the same percentage of hospital stays in those presenting symptoms but it is rare the data is presented to that degree of preciseness. Is preciseness even a word? I dunno but I'll use it!
2 - other countries that did less than us have some of the same results so who knows? For example, the USA has been very strict on wearing masks compared to Canada and yet Canada is doing so much better.
3 - since the majority of deaths were over 80 and from LTC, one has to assume with new measures in LTC, it is less likey to get a new outbreak in a LTC facility than it was 2 months ago. How does that factor into hospitalizations and deaths?
The reality is, if you take out the LTC numbers and apply testing results based only on symptomatic individuals, maybe we'd see the same percentage results we did before. I am not sure the information being presented is viable to assume the Virus is less severe.
Wait... what???For example, the USA has been very strict on wearing masks compared to Canada
One could argue most of the population of the US wears masks....just a bit higher on their face. More like a blind fold if you willWait... what???
Wait... what???
Coronavirus: in which US states is wearing a face mask mandatory?
Most States have regulations regarding the use of masks and have for a while now.
....with no enforcement...
