Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
Took a a look at the State by State vaccinated rate data in a different way to see if I could see evidence of vaccinated rate serving as a proxy indicator for likelihood of following public health recommendations in general. The idea is that people who are more likely to follow vaccination recommend...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
I finally got it. My wife is a realtor so she mixes with people a lot. She got symptoms and tested positive on January 31. i figured I'd get it since I slept with her and she woke up with symptoms and I was all snuggled up with her. She got on Paxlovid that evening. I think I may have started feelin...

Re: The Abortion Pill (Misoprostol) Case
As StOnge doesn't understand how the medical community actually works. Years ago, the company I worked for, came up with a way to look at the genetic sequences found in stool samples. The goal was to find genetic sequences that had sloughed off the intestinal wall as the stool passed through your d...

Re: The Abortion Pill (Misoprostol) Case

Re: AFC and NFC championships
The NFC championship game was extremely disappointing due to San Fransisco getting its Cinderella Story QB hurt early the game. Then they got the one backup they had left hurt. So they had no functional QB. Also sucked that San Fransisco's defense needed to play well in order to make the game compet...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19
The other day I heard about DeSantis making an appearance with several people. One of them has apparently become popular in anti fax circles. It's Dr. Joseph Fraiman, an emergency medicine physician in Louisiana. There is some discussion of his work, among other things, at https://www.factcheck.org/...

Re: Coronavirus COVID-19

However, all indications are that they are pretty close to what the deaths certificate data say at any particular time and will say as more data come in. As of ...

How did you respond to the conservative claims back then? Notice he doesn't mention the age disparity between Florida and NY?

Remember when, early in the pandemic, conservatives were comparing COVID-19 death rates in New York and Florida as a means of claiming DeSantis was doing things right? Early on, New York had a much higher death rate. As of July 1, 2020, New York's death rate was nearly 10 times Florida's. 1668 deat...
