ignoring the fact that a control group of 2000 isn't that much, relatively speaking.

You obviously dont understand statistics.

My observations are from data collected by the state of Massachusetts

You literally posted a chart showing people aged 0-19 having far less cases of the coronavirus then any other age group when youre trying to argue that its impacting all ages equally lol.

Judgmenl posted...

Now that it's affecting everyone, we see everyone being f***ed equally

You have no evidence whatsoever supporting this claim. Your ideas are based on uneducated bias and not scientific evidence. Heres a very recent article thats a good summary.

Also heres another actual scientific research article saying coronavirus infection is less severe in children.
https://pediatrics.aappublications.org/content/pediatrics/early/2020/03/16/peds.2020-0702.full.pdf

You have no science backing your claims while I continue to present article after article supporting mine.

wow thats some real up to date info you got there

Less than 3 months old... but please feel free to post a link to a peer reviewed scientific study that supports the fear mongering and hysteria.

Heres a scientific article about the coronavirus and pediatric patients.

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2766037

If you actually take the time to read through it the researchers state that the risk of serious illness from the coronavirus in children is less than the seasonal flu.

Finally, it is important to emphasize that the overall burden of COVID-19 infection in children remains relatively low compared with seasonal influenza. As of April 28, 2020, the CDC report 8 deaths in children 14 years or younger related to COVID-19 infection, whereas there have so far been 169 influenza-related deaths in children 14 years or younger during the 2019-2020 season, with 81 of these occurring in 2020.14,15 Thus, up to this time of the pandemic in North America, children continue to face a far greater risk of critical illness from influenza than from COVID-19, pointing to the imperative for ongoing preventive pediatric health maintenance during this time.

I copied and pasted it because I know most of you are too lazy to actually read scientific articles and rather just argue with feelings. Also its important to note that a large majority of kids that did have complications had preexisting conditions.

If people can go to work, then kids can go to school. Its not like all the grocery store workers have gotten sick and died and they have been in close contact with the entire public since the beginning of this.

Also pretty sure there are more covid cases in Democrat run states than Republican states.. no?

Democrats like to forget how Governor Cuomo ordered nursing homes to take in coronavirus infected patients in New York where it spread like wildfire and leading to a much higher death count.

The same amount would have died if Hillary was president.

Based on what?

Hes just spouting out nonsense that he thinks are zingers even though they dont make any type of sense. He was probably triggered because the meme reminded him of himself.

Lmao

I havent tested positive for it yet so whatever Im doing is working for me.

I cant believe he got suspended for that. Smh.

Agree 100% TC.

Blightzkrieg posted...

does anybody actually buy this or are you just trying to fool yourself

Its this type toxic divisive logic that once again highlights the hypocrisy of some democrats. The whole us vs them or youre either with us or youre against us mentality is a large reason why we have a lot of the problems we have today. Just because someone thinks Biden is a racist sex offender who isnt fit for office doesnt mean they are in support of Trump.

Mead posted...

now I wonder why you feel you need to use that word

For all the clowns who would try to say that since you dont like Biden then you must like and support Trump.

Blightzkrieg posted...

lol 10/10

Please feel free to go through this topic and my entire posting history and point out to me where I have ever directly defended or supported Trump.

Mead posted...

a masterclass in lack of self-awareness

I have never supported Trump or tried to offer excuses for his behavior while you, my friend, try to defend Biden for his racism and alleged sexual assaults. Maybe its you who lack the self awareness?

EvilMegas posted...

But if you're highlighting the past of one candidate, what about the other?

Why dont you go into every topic bashing Trump and ask them why theyre not also bashing Biden? Once again this topic is about Old Joe, and youre an example of someone who is hypocritical.

EvilMegas posted...

TC, why aren't you going this hard about trump's allegations then?

Because this topic isnt about Trump. Its informing people of Bidens racist past while also highlighting the hypocrisy of the left and cancel culture.

HornedLion posted...

Super Racist VS Super racist + Super pussy grabber

We are going to get stuck with one. No changing that fact. So Biden, baby!

Youre forgetting about the rather credible sexual assault allegation against Old Joe that people and the media like to forget.

https://news.yahoo.com/tara-reade-joe-biden-sexual-assault-allegation-205643745.html

If you dislike Trump because of some of the things hes said and done, you should also dislike Biden for the same reason.

OhhhJa posted...

Lolwut? This dude just got done calling black people uncle Toms if they dont vote for him and referred to black kids as roaches last year. It's just that smooth brained leftists will ignore blatant racism if there a D by a candidate's name

Lets not forget when he told a bunch of minorities just last year that poor kids are just as bright and talented as white kids.

https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/09/us/politics/joe-biden-poor-kids.html

The guy still is racist on a subconscious level and that will never change, but hypocritical people still want to vote for him to be president.

Old Joe was against desegregation and worked with several segregationist to pass bills to make sure his kids didnt go to a school that was a racial jungle. Time for his ass to get #cancled.

miraculously, it was far less ignorant than your pointless topic.

not to mention, that as a comparison, its the only one able to convey just how widespread this pandemic is. there has been no other tragedy to compare it to in size, its not close in size yet to the spanish flu.

Once again your ignorance is really showing and its no surprise that no one on this board takes you seriously. 123,000 people in the US and 477,000 in the world have died. That is no where near the tragedy of the Holocaust and once again you should feel really bad for making such an ignorant and inflammatory comparison. Youre clown world logic is that getting infected with the coronavirus is a death sentence and its nowhere near that at all.

helIy posted...

read better.

Comparing people who have been infected with the coronavirus to people who lost their life in the Holocaust is extremely ignorant. You should feel bad for how dumb your post was.

GanonsSpirit posted...

Reminder that you used to have a gimmick and now you're a generic troll.

Oh Im a troll now because I post factual numbers instead of living in clown world where you guys just make up shit and act like everyone is infected and going to die?

helIy posted...

reminder that 0.7% of the population is 52 million people.

if you mean the population of the united states and not the entire world, then 0.7% of that is 2.3 million people.

comparing that to the holocausts death toll of 5.8 million people (closer to 5.9m), and it looks even worse.

I was talking about the US. For the world 99.88% hasnt tested positive for infection. Try harder.

Lokarin posted...

probably 'cuz 99.3% hasn't been tested

Close to 10% of the US population has been tested. Try harder.

Stay woke fellow gamers.

A topic I made on another board was removed for trolling and it really upsets me that my opinion is being repressed by fascist Sony Pony mods.

Reminds me of the occupy wall street clowns.

Mead posted...

Trump-like authoritarian leaders

I dont think you know what authoritarian means. Authoritarian leaders are the ones telling everyone to stay at home.

You guys do realize that a majority of these new cases are of the asymptomatic/subclinical type do to the increases in testing right? People just arent dropping dead in the streets like youre imagining.

ICU Beds and Hospital capacity have been spiking in Arizona too though

Well of course those numbers are going to be higher because now theyre back doing elective surgeries and procedures thus meaning more people in the hospital. Theyre all not there just because of the coronavirus.

@Jen0125
Heres a link to a graph you can look at that shows what Im talking about straight from John Hopkins.
https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/testing/individual-states/usa
You can select Arizona and yes the percentage has risen from a month ago but it is about at the same percent as it was when everything was completely shut down two months ago.
Regionally there have been some areas that have seen an increase but in general things are about the same as or better than they were with everything shut down.
Like remember when people were saying that everyone in Wisconsin was going to become infected after the stay at home order got thrown out? Or when Georgia said screw it and just opened everything up anyways? Surely we would see huge spikes in those areas right? No. They never came. Dont believe the hype.

Jen0125 posted...

Don't you see the irony in this? You think people should get over more positives because we're testing more. But that's just means previously we thought it wasn't as bad as it actually is? Do you honestly think 4,500 cases testing positive in 72 hours isn't something to be concerned about? Like I don't get the logic.

Because the percent of positive test results is about the same. Example you test 100 people and 5 come back as positive. Now theyre testing 1000 people and 50 come back positive. Its a higher number but its the same overall percentage of people testing positive for infection. Its not a spike. People who understand numbers and statistics realize this.

Yea the numbers are higher because theyre doing more tests. The percent of positive test results is about the same as it has been. You people need to stop living in fear and actually look at the numbers.

@adjl Are you ready to admit that you were wrong and that the coronavirus isnt as contagious or as widespread as you like to believe?

Mead posted...

this makes me feel bad for you

Dont act like youre some type of scholar. You live in your wifes basement.

adjl posted...

It's not at all hard to believe that any growth that has taken place thus far has been obscured by spikes from Memorial Day.

Any potential growth from the protests should be compounding with the Memorial Day spikes, not being obscured by them genius.

darkknight109 posted...

So you're struggling with words like "exponential" and "iteration" and think they constitute purple prose?

This isn't the dunk that you think it is.

No. You cant read that first sentence and say that he isnt trying really hard to sound smarter than he is.

Mead posted...

which words were too big for you?

His whole first sentence was really try hard. Just comes across as as some smug guy who thinks he knows everything but in reality he doesnt and has no clue what hes talking about.

Also using big words doesnt make you sound smart but just makes you sound like a pompous jackass.

adjl posted...

And exponential growth requires a few iterations to be really noticeable, especially above a highly variable background that's already seeing spikes from other sources. It's not like you're going to see all of the protest-related Covid cases showing up within 14 days of the first one.

Once again using facts and not feelings, the average is 5 days. We are 3x away from that now. The protestors have had a chance to go home and spread it to everyone in their family and then some. The exponential growth would be seen by now. It hasnt. Youre wrong. Stfu.

Mead posted...

and as we know all protesters have gone out and gotten a covid test

They dont need to because 99% of them dont have it. Youre not hearing about 2% of protestors all of a sudden dying are you?

OhhhJa posted...

Year when it suits your narrative I guess it's best to pretend that the incubation period is minimum 14 days for everyone lol

Fear mongering paranoid types like adjl will keep saying the spike is coming when it never will.

adjl posted...

Most of the current spike is coming from Memorial Day weekend festivities and the fact that stuff is reopening. The inevitable spike related to the protests will be coming in the next week or so.

The incubation period for the coronavirus is 1-14 days. with the average being 5 days. The protest have been going on for over 14 days. Stfu.

Also your feelings arent science. Hard numbers are. The numbers dont support the level of fear and anxiety over this stupid thing.

99.3% of Americans still havent tested positive for the coronavirus. Out of the the people they have tested around 2% have tested positive. Its been over two weeks since the protest have started and 99%+ of those protestors dont have the virus. Im pretty sure its safe to say this whole thing has been an overreaction but some of you doom and gloom paranoid types will never admit you were wrong.

Im glad I live in a state with a Republican governor because this lockdown thing is ridiculous.

Im glad McDonalds is reopening their dining room areas because there is no way I could wait that long.

That I can discuss my fetish of anime girls in a safe and supportive environment.

The answer is yes
