I don't think its a good thing, i'm not celebrating, i think this is bad. Which is why I think you should wear your mask, wash your hands, get vaccinated, and basically do as you are fucking well told. There's a good chap. -5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any vaccines that offer 100% immunity, for any disease? Anything over 60% is a result I think. See how many case numbers result in hospitalisations or deaths now compared to before most people were vaccinated. They're fucking brilliant. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This week you're picking individual dates to do the same thing. You're just peddling whatever stats suit your desire for drama. Abuse of statistics should be a crime punishable by pelting with rancid eggs in the stocks. Meantime, in the real world, numbers are fluctuating wildly on some days over others but the longer term cases trend (since July) seems to still be relatively flat at around 35k. IMO that won't change unless they start vaccinating kids. How are hospitalisations and deaths faring? ETA. Daily deaths have relatively flat since the start of August. There is literally nothing to see here. No particular desire to intrude on your feud with @superbigal but in this case he was replying to a specific claim by @Todd_is_God that there had been "Another huge crash in week on week daily figures". 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay you are correct, Let us not just pick today as a bad example to challenge Toddthespiritinthesky Yesterday weekly average up. Day before weekly average up. Day before that weekly average up. Day before that weekly average up. Perhaps his graph was upside down ? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The study found it is 10% Not sure where you got the 10% figure from. What I'm getting is that there isn't enough data yet, research has been concentrated in other areas. Quote Mask wearing and transmission of SARS-CoV-2, covid-19 incidence, and covid-19 mortality—The results of additional studies that assessed mask wearing (not included in the meta-analysis because of substantial differences in the assessed outcomes) indicate a reduction in covid-19 incidence, SARS-CoV-2 transmission, and covid-19 mortality. Specifically, a natural experiment across 200 countries showed 45.7% fewer covid-19 related mortality in countries where mask wearing was mandatory (table 1).49 Another natural experiment study in the US reported a 29% reduction in SARS-CoV-2 transmission (measured as the time varying reproductive number Rt) (risk ratio 0.71, 95% confidence interval 0.58 to 0.75) in states where mask wearing was mandatory. https://www.bmj.com/content/375/bmj-2021-068302 Edited November 18, 2021 by welshbairn -3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
