Out of curiosity, did you read any of the links that were presented or did you disregard them at the outset?

As someone who's wife is immunocompromised after her bout with Hodgkins lymphoma, it makes me irrationally angry when folks politicize masks for public health.

Works for me. Putting it back then

Thought this was the TB thread and edited it since that seemed the more appropriate CV thread for the question

Out of curiosity: What is the acceptable death rate to institute shelter-in-place practices? Also, is it the death rate or total number of deaths that matters?

Yuuup Whenn folks find out that it isn't a south east Asian phenomenom and that Switzerland is one of those countries they blue screen irl.

A majority of the people have never eaten dog meat and despite racist rhetoric, the practice of eating dog meat is not common in China. The ban is related to the trade and consumption of wild animals and their meat. The city of Shenzhen at the beginning of the month stepped up to include dogs and cats on that list, as their being domesticated would have been a loophole in the law (I believe they might have even fallen under livestock?). Unfortunately, the loopholes for traditional Chinese medicine still exists which is why bear bile will still be legal.

https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/new-zealand/auckland/historic https://www.timeanddate.com/weather/usa/charleston-sc/historic It has been warmer in Charleston county and we have seen a higher rate of infection (0.08%) than that of New Zealand (0.02%).

You're protesting against the method in which data was collected specifically for Sweden and not all countries. You're trying to differentiate between apples and oranges when we're discussing fruits. You're more than welcome to prefer to listen to whatever echos inside your chamber while questioning my intelligence. By the way... was the math incorrect? Certainly if I'm not bright enough for this discussion I should have my math checked... right? As for the Swedish population: Population of Sweden What did I put down again? Oh yea...

You forgot Australia, which used different methods from New Zealand to achieve similar percentages. I've emphasized this, despite your attempts to cherry pick and not engage in good faith. So... you believe that the USA is more like Germany due to border control, lack of testing resources, lack of contact tracing, and inability to implement lockdowns? Or do you believe that the USA is more like a landlocked country that is on the same landmass as the source of the outbreak as opposed to regions that have to be exclusively traveled to via sea/air? It can't be due to the size differences, as much as I'd like to poke fun and suggest that you believe otherwise.

You've continued to try and justify your dismissal of them based on some ever-shifting qualifying factors, but you have yet to actually address their methods. So I'll ask again: Did you or did you not read the methods that New Zealand and Australia used?

If you're entire basis is that the data is not exactly correct, then you are going to be denying every data set released during this pandemic as there is no way to determine the exact numbers in all of this (plus, what about countries like the US that did not make testing widely available early on? Or China and their likely fudged numbers?). Are those numbers for Sweden not what was being presented by the WHO yesterday? Seeing as the math is correct as well as the method, I stand by my assessment.

Australia has achieved similar percentages with a larger population. Did you bother looking at how they did it before attacking and dismissing them?

The data was pulled via simple OSINT. Percentage of the population infected is the total amount of cases for the country divided by the population. The death rate was calculated by dividing the amount of deaths by the amount of cases. What exactly is wrong with the math and the method there?

Hong Kong relaxed their social distancing conditions and experienced a second surge. Folks do not seem to understand that a reduction in infection rates does not mean the disease is less contagious, it just means that socially engineered methods for dealing with the virus until a vaccine is pushed out are working.

Dude, idk. There is a TB thread for this already. On top of that, why was the Eric Reid thread PROACTIVELY CLOSED (by a moderator with a history of bias against Reid and those with similar political leanings no less )? Every week I spend more and more time on the Panthers subreddit than I do here. Which is a shame too, because message boards (albeit a money sink for those that run them) have been where I've made some of my best friends while discussing different hobbies/passions of our's. To quote an old cliche, it is what it is.

No thank you on the Swedish model. Data below: Population of Sweden: 10.23M Swedish COVID-19 cases: 9,141 Deaths: 793 Percentage of infected: 0.09% Death rate: 8.7% Population of US: 327.2M USA COVID-19 cases: 434,861 Deaths: 14,814 Percentage of infected: 0.13% Death rate: 3.4% Population of Italy: 60.36M Italian COVID-19 cases: 139,422 Deaths: 17,669 Percentage of infected: 0.2% Death rate: 12.7% Population of South Korea: 51.47M SK COVID-19 cases: 10,423 Deaths: 204 Percentage of infected: 0.02% Death rate: 2% Population of Germany: 83.02M German COVID-19 cases: 113,296 Deaths: 2,280 Percentage of infected: 0.14% Death rate: 2% Population of New Zealand: 4.794M NZ COVID-19 cases: 1,239 Deaths: 1 Percentage of infected: 0.03% Death rate: 0.08% Best-to-Worst Infection Rates: 1. South Korea 2. New Zealand 3. Sweden 4. USA 5. Germany 6. Italy Best-to-Worst Death Rates: 1. New Zealand 2. Germany/South Korea 4. USA 5. Sweden 6. Italy I'd much rather we had followed South Korea's model, but that required early and frequent testing which the administration went out of their way to prevent. New Zealand is worth looking into, despite being a remote island nation. Australia has similar percentages, and both nations are closer to the epicenter of the pandemic.

Fairly certain that anyone that can eat Steak-Umms and not devastate their underoos moments later possess the antibodies needed to defeat SARS-CoV-2

The one draft pick that I called. I've had such a man crush on Sandland since the combine

I love how this draft was 100% focused on the team's long term success. We just lost Josh Norman, Charles Tillman, and Cortland Finnegan. We were dangerously thin at CB late last season, especially after Bene's leg broke. Now, we have two corners in the same mold as JNo, a nickel for when Boykin's 1-yr deal is up, a back-up for Olsen, and another body for the rotation at DT (which both of our starters are due for new contracts). Wilks and the coaching staff have proved themselves to be effective teachers with an effective system. I'm a huge fan of the Sandland pick. What little of the combine I did get to watch was the TEs and he was one of maybe 2 outside of Hunter Henry that jumped out.

All of my lust

I'm of the opinion that if somebody is going to be upset about the Burfict hit vs. Brown (defenseless receiver) and not the Shazier hit vs. Gio (helmet-to-helmet) then they really have no grounds to stand on. Shazier hit was just as dirty, if not more so for leading with the crown of his helmet into Gio's face. Officials gave Pittsburgh the ball on that play, then marched them into FG range on the other. I can't help but think to myself that if it have been the Jets instead of the Steelers in that game with similar events happening that a flag would've been thrown both times instead of just once.
