Just a reminder to take medical advice from non-partisan health professionals.

News Report

Study

The problem is finding those non-partison stories and studies, you certainly aren't going to find them from any major news outlets here in the U.S, that's one of the biggest detriments that have caused this to spiral out of control... Everyone (and I mean everyone) is worried more about their own agenda's than they are public safety.

Really wonder how much different things could have been had this not happened in an election year...

Apparently women have superior immune systems when it comes to fighting this virus

I posted mortality rates a few pages back that suggest this as well. They were compiled with data from 45 countries. Men seem to be far more effected overall.

I saw that but I wasn't sure if it had much to do with as to why. 

I got an email saying that the FDA is warning people about hand sanitizers in beverage containers. It turns out it was just telling people not to drink it.  I thought this article was a little more interesting

"Merck's MK-4482 stops coronavirus from replicating. It was discovered by Emory University scientists & results of phase 2 trials are expected in weeks."

Something to look forward to here! If data is good, phase 3 will start next month. We really need treatments that work as much as we need vaccines.

This obviously may have changed, but here's the article from the guy who did the research in July

http://minnesotaconnected.com/news/how-minnesota-covid-19-death-tolls-were-inflated-during-stay-at-home-mn_1316535/

I mean, this isn't exactly a reputable source of information. It's literally a few real estate agents who felt like making a local page where anyone could submit literally anything - with no validation of th source.

Here, the site even admits it:

http://minnesotaconnected.com/about-us/

The author of your study didn't have his work peer reviewed, or even looked at actual data - he bought a list that should be accurate, but data integrity from origin to source is a continued concern - not just in medical data, but anywhere.

I can't take this article, written by some random person and extrapolate it to what you're trying to extrapolate it to. There is no sort of tangible evidence that is shared, and there's no sort of peer review model to even check if his methodology of interpreting the data is sound. 

In conclusion - we still need to verify your conclusion, because this article isn't worth anything.

ET has you fooled sir, he’s a ruthless animal.

Sure, you think this is a kind explanation of basic information most middle school kids know, but no, this was a wordy “bless your heart” taunt.

He’s an absolute savage.

Maybe he's like a cat predator just toying with a dying animal and getting tons of amusement out of that creature's slow and painful demise...I may have to reconsider this.
