  • Why is an obvious troll not removed, when their sole purpose seems to be to post garbage in this thread?

      Board doesn't care and is hoping to kill it off by attrition.

        You mean Mr. "I Got China Right (if you believe their numbers)" is still living off that BS and is now tweaking his data even worse than before? At least now he is using Sweden as his "model" and not the other BS data point. I bet Stanford loves this guy giving these interviews....

        I am going to go tell my 73 year old dad his life doesnt matter and if he dies no one should care.

          Yeah that's my favorite part that others here and elsewhere have glommed onto...that people die everyday...move on.
          yet we're considered the oddballs for actually caring about keeping people alive and healthy.

            It’s hilarious that our local cons have to link to people who aren’t even specialists in the particular field because ...people who are experts on viruses and epidimiolgy aren’t likely to agree with the garbage

              What exactly is he saying that people on here don’t understand? The only thing I could see being a disagreement is that lockdowns were unnecessary. He said social distancing, wearing masks, etc., are all necessary.
              Now, he predicted 220,000 deaths instead of 20,000, but, even his analysis of herd immunity being the primary objective seems to be refuted by the article itself.
              The problem some of us have is that he is doing exactly what he says others do...looking at specific data that seems to prove his point and ignoring any and all context or data that contradicts his point. He did it before too (he used the Cruise Ship to extrapolate what would happen in the US...and surprise surprise he was wrong) and in reality the only thing he has ever been right on was China. (which the article mentions) Random people on Twitter have been closer to correct about everything since April which is why this guy stopped being brought up until he gave this interview.

              I give him credit on the mask thing, but again you cant use masks as a reason why we dont need a lockdown because half the country wont wear them. If we could get full buy in he would have a point...but we cant. As such his mentioning them is worthless. (and I am guessing he would be against mandatory masks for the same reason he is against everything else) I bet we could all rattle off a bunch of ways to mitigate...but if we cant trust the person next to us to do it then it is meaningless as an option.

              The Right tried once already to use him as their "Lone Voice of Reason in the Wilderness" and it went nowhere. Now I guess at least he isnt using a Cruise Ship...he upgraded to Sweden. Cause the US and Sweden are so similar in population, economics, geography and health care.

              • Which party has been crying about the wretched "death panels" for the last ten years, and how Dems are talking about shipping old folks off on ice floes to die?

                      Which post is garbage? Feel free to respond to it and share why. Thanks.

                      And Andy Slavitt was quoted as having good ideas the other day in this thread.

                        What are you disputing in the article, which point?

                        was anything more off than the “official models” that sent this entire thing off? I mean was anything even remotely in the same planet close to the models that were used by the “experts” and media?

                          People do die every day...now all of a sudden though we arent supposed to care if the deaths were preventable.

                          These people are all frauds. Like the GOP Reps and Senators who want schools open to give students access to meals and care...even though they spend way more effort trying to defund those portions of schools. It is all a game...that is why they float BS theories and half hearted science.

                          These days my father and I tend to fight about a lot of political stuff (he is more of a Centrist now...I am as Left as he was at 40) and the look on his face when people discuss how older people dont matter and they should die for the economy is breathtaking. I called him the other day and he ranted for 25 minutes about how selfish this country is and how he just doesnt get it. He wears a mask everywhere. He used to say "we cant stay closed forever" but now he realizes we should have because Americans dont have the intestinal fortitude to do what must be done. Instead we do what we want and find any BS excuse we can to justify it.

                            They aren't my ideas putz. I follow experts like doctors and epidemiologists and take their advice.
                            I don't find this hard to do. You do apparently which is sad.

                              You do understand there are doctors and epidemiologists who have different thoughts than the ones you follow? Or do you not?

                              Since your response will simply be to discredit anyone in the US that has differing ideas.

                              What are your thoughts on the leading doctors and epidemiologists from a number of countries having such different views than the experts you follow?

                              • Honest question. Why is this troll still here? They're so clearly not arguing in good faith. They joined here and seemed to have posted over 600 times in a few months in what, two specific threads?

                                USCHO used to take out the trash, at least once in a while. Now I can't even find an obvious "report" function.
