    "According to the government's figures, 14,561 people have died in Guayas province since the beginning of March from all causes. The province normally sees 2,000 deaths a month on average."

    Now tell us about it being seasonal in a country with basically no seasons. And not liking heat and..

    A lot of these so called scientists and doctor experts are nothing but, political hacks. If they stuck to just the science without injecting their petty political stunts on top it, they would be more credible. How can a so called doctor expert from Stamford conduct a study on 1,000 people and say based on his extrapolation that infections are actually, 85 times the reported infections? Assuming he is right, US infections 710,272 x 85 = 60,373,120 got infected and recovered from the Corona Virus. So, these people already have immunity from the Corona Virus. In addition they could be blood plasma donors to those seriously ill with the Corona Virus. Now, the same hack says, we do not have enough samples to determine how many have immunity? It this guy for real?

    So true. Often when teaching the wife a new word I look up the origin and this is interesting.

    Other scientists are calling this study by the Stanford University Medical School complete nonsense. Especially since it was done with anti-body test kits that were later proven to be completely unreliable.

    Even the author of the article was forced to add the following note at the bottom:
    *UPDATE: One caveat is that a rough calculation applying the Santa Clara infection fatality rate to New York City's 11,000 COVID-19 deaths would imply that essentially all of city's residents have already been infected with the coronavirus. This seems implausible.

    Do you really think that every single resident of New York City has already been infected with COVID-19?
     
  7. nothing like citing a study and proving you did it read the whole thing when the author has to add a post script saying they fucked up.

    OK so Daxtrader is a dunce. Tomorrow or someday soon he will be one again.

    Is there any way to break the cycle of duncery?

    Maybe a sin thread? Where instead of allowing them to move on, not acknowledging and learning they get no reward of replies until they have returned to the scene of their crime on a substantial way..

    Gives me an idea for a group I help admin.
