The crazy thing is I put this video up the day after the presidential debates where Donald Trump claimed that the US was turning the corner.  My reading of the data was a little harsher and that the winter wave had started everywhere else, and the US data was trending upwards and about to go boom.  What I didn’t expect was for the US to smash its previous infection records the next day.

The sad thing is it doesn’t take many idiots claiming that ‘masks don’t work because onions’ or ‘don’t let people screen you by taking your temperature’ and it simply becomes impossible to contain an infectious disease.  I REALLY  hope I wrong about winter!

Ah, the mystical 3rd eye, notoriously sensitive to skepticism.

Hey im new round these parts, so please excuse me if covered elsewhere, but I want to find out for my own sanity; given the CDC figures themselves showing that the risk of death from Covid-19 is low (my understanding is ≈0.2% - ≈0.4% until you reach 70 years and over?), and that there appears to be issues with testing in terms of false positives/negatives, thereby creating issues with data / counting “cases”, why is there still a fear of “what will happen” in winter? Apologies if this opens a can of worms, I’m just trying to understand. through my work I’ve learned from a number of people that I’d say are authorities on this sort of thing, that the continuing treatment / hype of Covid-19 as if it is the next Spanish Flu is just flat out wrong... and yet here I find intelligent people with an opposing view.

For starters - a healthy 70 year old today can expect to live about another 20 years. So - no reason to endanger that.

Sure, but that doesn't explain why so much emphasis is put on covid-19 when it is (& pls do correct me if I'm wrong) statistically not that much different to the seasonal flu. I am trying to understand why the world is being turned upside down, given the measures for many parts of the world now are more extreme than they were when the early models suggested it was 10x (+) more deadly than it is in reality. Up to this point, I've only encountered people who consider the immediate health concerns (both in terms of people dying from covid-19, and health systems being overwhelmed), with less focus on the peripheral issues... like, what happens longer term when you render millions unemployed, bankrupt businesses, cancel elective surgeries, make people scared to see a doctor to get a checkup, screw up agricultural supply chains, create unheard of debt (which people not even born will be forced to pay for), create conditions for domestic violence.... I mean, the list is infinitely long. It's morally & intellectually dishonest to brush aside these issues, but by and large people seem to be fine doing so, probably because data is not collected on them like it is covid-19, which encourages us to focus on the only thing we can easily measure.

Yes, I also heard that according to studies, mortality rate of COVID-19 are higher than from common flu. Apparently that's why there is such a hype around COVID-19

And there's no effective treatment. If you are lucky and young it will probably pass you by without issue, if you're not lucky or not young you have a good chance to die or suffer long term damages.

Regarding the thermometer - I really think it is only about the target dot that starts the conspiracy. If it were blue they would probably come up with some freeze ray bs.

I recommend this as a read. I don’t agree with everything this author says, but it encapsulates the point that I think is lost on many; especially those looking through this crisis through the lens of epidemiology only. https://mises.org/wire/seen-and-unseen-covid-19

I don’t see what all the fuss is about, if people are so concerned about getting their brains fried by the government death ray, they can elect to join the other line, and have their temperature measured by more conventional means - rectal thermometry
