bruceb Posted April 19, 2020 Share Posted April 19, 2020 Eliminating the galleries is not exactly like emptying football stadia. Still good stuff for TV. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's pretty sad that I would love to watch golf on TV right now but here we are. They could even just pipe in some cheers on the broadcast when someone does something good and it would be 80% the same Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Data that would prove it would have to come after the fact. There isn’t hard, factual data ahead of the time bruce. I didn’t think this would need to be explained. The data that proves it was effective are the exact numbers you’re quoting. You can’t possibly be this dense. Just now, bruceb said: An order or orders of magnitude miss is/are sensational. It was a projection based on data at the time, I’m not sure what’s difficult to understand. Like I said weeks ago, with some folks (you) it was a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. If nobody does anything and people die en mass, there will be somebody else to blame (not “your group”, and you know what I mean) and if the measures do work you’ll think it was a hoax (or in this case sensationalism). You’ve stated thus far you’re an antivaxer who doesn’t believe in meds because your body can heal itself, who also believes you can’t get off meds after starting them (despite doing so yourself) and this whole thing was just like the flu. Normally it wouldn’t waste my time with such a person, but in this situation my only concern is someone may read your nonsense and think there’s a shred of validity to it. You’re literally the embodiment of terrible Facebook memes aimed at boomers who think feelings are facts and have zero credibility with anything health or healthcare related. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And mine as well re you. You accused me of some mental disorder, the name of which I do not recall, that fits you like a glove. What's the problem if it makes sense to them? 4 minutes ago, LETSGOBROWNIES said: Like I said weeks ago, with some folks (you) it was a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation.

There is growing evidence that the projected infection/death rates were badly exaggerated, in OH and nationally. The revised projections are the proof of that. There is no way to prove that the "measures" worked to prevent people dying en masse. And certainly no way to prove that the economic impact on tens of millions of Americans that the "measures", bases in part on exaggerations of the risk, cost is worth the price.

This is what they used for projections. https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2020/04/10/829167659/are-we-flattening-the-curve-states-keep-watch-on-coronavirus-doubling-times 9 minutes ago, bruceb said: And mine as well re you.

I said you are a magnificent example of the Dunning Kruger effect and it has literally no application to me as I’m not stating my opinions on the subject but rather the opinion of experts in the field. safe to say we can add this to the list of things you clearly don’t understand. 9 minutes ago, bruceb said: There is growing evidence that the projected infection/death rates were badly exaggerated, in OH and nationally. The revised projections are the proof of that. again, they were projections based on doubling times. 9 minutes ago, bruceb said: There is no way to prove that the "measures" worked to prevent people dying en masse. Then what else would it be? What else slowed the spread? I’ll wait. 9 minutes ago, bruceb said: And certainly no way to prove that the economic impact on tens of millions of Americans that the "measures", bases in part on exaggerations of the risk, cost is worth the price. yeah, wouldn’t want people to live if it costs someone a buck... What’s the number of lives you’re good with losing to maintain the economy. How many people should have to die before we as a society can be proactive as opposed to reactive? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s no possible way to measure economic impact and death. To commit suicide, you’re probably already in a dark place before the economic impact is felt.
