B-Man Posted April 6, 2020 Posted April 6, 2020 STACY MCCAIN: Coronavirus: The Wrong Numbers. Will the media ever admit the failure of doomsday projections? What matters, from the perspective of avoiding a crisis that overwhelms our health-care system, is not how many people are infected with the coronavirus, but rather the number of patients hospitalized. As tests for the Chinese virus have become more widely available, a majority of people who test positive — more than 80 percent in some states — are never hospitalized. Earlier projections of a system-crashing crisis have so far been proven false, but the media refuse to acknowledge the failure of the doomsday prophets and their computer-generated pandemic models.” I’d say it’s a little early to declare victory yet, but I did just hear from a doc in New Orleans that his ICU was full, but not overloaded. 3

If my aunt had a penis, she'd be my uncle. (This needs updating in our new world. A saying lost to the ages I guess.) February was a lost month, 2017-2019 were lost years. But here we are now. No responsible person is whining about HCQ. Maybe it helps. Maybe it doesn't. In cases where it doesn't hurt a patient, it's worth a shot because of anecdotal evidence and because the virus is moving faster than the data. But we've already had conflicting actual preliminary tests about its effectiveness. That's not a political observation.

Yah I’m sure if the sitting president shut down travel entirely there wouldn’t have been riots in every major city. Now can you answer my question? If not, hush it. I don’t see anyone saying it’s a cure. The closest thing was a silly meme. Boston Medical Center has been treating everyone that is even suspected with it, I was curious if it was now being provided by general care docs. 2

There’s not one western nation that shut down anything or even contemplated it in February and no leader would have made that choice. To focus on that makes you even more intellectually dishonest than you already are. There are hundreds of clinical trials that are now taking place so you should not discount the benefit of drugs to help minimize the severity of cases and death. 4 1

A point I clearly stated in the following reply. This is your reply below: Here is your original post of the article that I originally responded to as bull****. NOTICE THE FIRST SENTENCE IN THE TWITTER POST AND BOLDED PARTS IN THE ARTICLE YOU COPIED AND PASTED. So, let me recap: 1) You post an article, the point of which was to accuse the Trump Administration of failing to act for 70 days 2) I call it bull****, and provide a complete timeline of accurate, verifiable facts showing why it was reasonable for Trump and every other leader to not realize how substantial the threat outside of China was until late Feb. I ask you to tell us when you think he should have acted and why. 3) You refuse to answer my question. You respond that I called the article bull**** and ask me to prove it (even though I already did with the facts in the timeline). 4) I go through the article, AGAIN, and literally find nothing, AGAIN, that says WHY he should have done more. I point out to you that there is literally no evidence presented in the article to show there was a failure of Trump to act in that first 70 days. 5) Your response then is to actually say the article didn't claim Trump waited 70 days to act. You then stated it proves I didn't read it 6) It is in the actual twitter post you copied, in the very first sentence of the article you posted, and the ENTIRE POINT of the article. So, apparently YOU didn't read ANYTHING that YOU copied and posted. 7) You are an idiot, and I mean that in the kindest "you have a room temperature IQ" kind of way. This is exactly why I refuse to interact with that poster in any way. Went through a very similar discussion a while back and realized that they have no interest in actual discussion. Just blasts links with no information, biased interpretation, or blatantly false information and ignores any information provided by the other side. 1 3
