news Covid19-Coronavirus updates and news

[Mister Funsky]

Having relatives and friends scattered all over the globe, I am getting an overload of input (some on the record and some off the record).

My intention for this thread is for community members from around the world to post first hand stories and/or links to information sources that, for the most part, should be reliable.

In my community, just outside a major southeastern city, 'assets' have been placed. Only because I have friends in both high and low places have I heard about some of this. At this point it is only some basic medical supplies that should be equally distributed anyway in preparation for a natural emergency (hurricane/wildfire/etc.).

I will start with posting a link to a site with current data that seems to come from an aggregate of sources and hope others will do the same as they come across similar sites/pages.

Because of the 'typhoid Mary' spread-ability of this disease, I feel we may be in for a really large spread globally which will impact the global economy and through extension, retail domain prices.

One thing is for sure...things will get worse before they get better.

aside from ruining peoples lives..biz..incomes.. controlling social lives etc.. seems now that part of their endgame.is also mandatory vaccines.. eventually they will come... if u dont want one...save some cash to pay yer way out.. seems.being unvaccinated will be.luxury and privilege only for rich...and make no mistake the rich dont get vaccinated.

Actually, the more well off and educated you are, the more likely you are to be vaccinated.

The places with the lowest vaccination rates are the least educated and poorest areas in general; mainly rural areas in the South and Midwest.

Why States With the Lowest Median Incomes Have the Lowest Vaccination Rates: Money Investigation

https://money.com/covid-19-vaccination-rates-low-income/

If you look at states' median household incomes and their vaccination rates side by side, you'll quickly see some patterns. The states with higher incomes almost always have higher vaccination rates, while the poorer states are at the lower end of the spectrum for COVID-19 vaccinations.

Rich people know its poison.

Cancer deaths outnumber COVID, but it is not by a massive margin. Also, cancer is not a contagious virus.

The regular flu and car accidents are not even close to COVID deaths.
(US stats)

Regular flu - Estimated deaths (2018-2019) 34,157

Cars killed 42,060 people in 2020, up from 39,107 in 2019.

Cars also have a practical and useful function. COVID does not.
Comparing car accidents to a virus is silly.

yea I read different
..guess they got stats on demand to fit everyone's narrative..

There is no narrative. I provided empirical data.

I am just correcting your misinformation.

hence my comment.

The "war" is to stop the spread of a contagious virus. The solution is based in science and medicine.

Thoughts and prayers are not going to stop a contagious virus.

This is fake news. Even the ceo's of the vaccine companies have yet to get the vaccine.

I provided empirical data that shows the more income you have, the more likely you are to be vaccinated.

This is the point where you provide a citation that shows empirical data to back up what you are saying, or shut up.

Like usual, more misinformation -

https://www.reuters.com/article/fac...een-vaccinated-against-covid-19-idUSL1N2SR1W7

The professor has since been fully vaccinated – and has also received his booster shot – and so any posts claiming otherwise are false.

A spokesperson for BioNTech told Reuters via email: “Ugur Sahin received his first vaccinations early in 2021 and the booster a couple of weeks ago.

https://www.kwqc.com/2021/08/25/fact-check-is-pfizers-ceo-fully-vaccinated-against-covid-19/

As Pfizer/BioNTech’s COVID-19 vaccine received full FDA approval Monday, the claim that the pharmaceutical company’s CEO, Albert Bourla, is not vaccinated emerged.

That claim is false.

In fact, according to a tweet on the CEO’s own page, he is fully vaccinated and received his second Pfizer/BioNTech immunization on March 10.

Later. You should probably just leave now anyway, since your nonsense has been debunked with facts.

Thanks for popping in though.

In the future maybe you should do a bare minimum of research before you make such claims.

LA County COVID data show stark difference between vaccinated and unvaccinated​

https://abc7.com/covid-19-vaccine-l...-dr-barbara-ferrer-la-public-health/11408759/

Los Angeles County Health Director Barbara Ferrer said Thursday that unvaccinated people in the county are 14 times more likely to die from COVID-19 than those that have been fully vaccinated.

"Vaccines continue to offer an extraordinary level of protection against hospitalizations and against the worst of all outcomes - passing away," Ferrer said.

The hospitalization rate for unvaccinated people is 28 per 100,000 residents in LA County, while the rate for the vaccinated has remained relatively flat at 1 per 100,000, she said.

Students usually practice with mannequins, you know, so they are more trained later when treating persons.

Fact Check-CDC lab update on COVID-19 PCR tests misinterpreted​

https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-covid19-pcr-test-idUSL1N2P42U5

VERDICT​

"False. The CDC is not removing some PCR tests because they failed to differentiate between COVID-19 and Influenza. The agency says it is opting for multiplex assays (that can test for both viruses) to save time and resources."

Pfizer (owned by Black Rock) expects to injure and kill so many people with this vaccine, that they asked for collateral in the form of military bases and embassies from different countries just in case they couldn’t cover the liability and all the lawsuits they’re about to have.

Wrap your mind around how many people you’d have to kill that you’re worried you’ll bankrupt an entire country, or what the hell Black Rock really wants with another country’s military bases.

Black Rock owns Pfizer? That is news to me (and false).

In reality Black Rock is a minority shareholder in Pfizer, just like Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has boasted about being unvaccinated, owns stock in 3 major vaccine makers​

Obviously the rest of the "article" is complete bullshit.

Twitter permanently suspends Marjorie Taylor Greene's account for spreading COVID-19 misinformation​

https://www.businessinsider.com/twi...reenes-account-covid-19-misinformation-2022-1

Later. You don't have the freedom to spread medical misinformation on private platforms.

Private platforms can create their own terms of service.
All conservatives should support that freedom.

The good news for her is now she will have more free time to invest in vaccine maker stocks.
