I was putting it all together from a bunch of statements and data that when put together are full of things that don't make logical sense. It's really not a different concept than the perception of the election results. Where lots of things that don't make sense add up to a huge question mark of the validity of any of what's being pushed.
There's no data behind the data either. How many that have a positive test exhibit any symptoms? How many positive tests are the same person and are we duplicating cases? How many Covid deaths were already on their way out from other issues (severe health and/or old age)?
Then you get to the concept of mitigation. You're telling me this virus is highly contagious in such a way that we haven't seen from a respiratory virus before. Yet, closing most things and limiting hours at others so that you are forcing people to do essential shopping at more crowded and in an limited 8 hour window makes sense? Or do pretty much anything you want outside with a piece of cloth on your face? Masks are the worst part, once they became a thing all the other stuff went out the window.
My conclusion from very early on is that we will all be exposed and there's not shit you can do about it so focus on promoting public health and preparing to deal with it. Sounds like this doctor has the same idea. That's totally excluding any of the political stuff.
If you think the data they are presenting is ridiculous, you should examine the raw case information: specifically, what it's like going to the doctor when you have COVID. I know two people who've been diagnosed. Neither of them got a firm understanding from their own doctors about what even the common symptoms were besides being basically bed-ridden with a cold/flu like symptoms for a few days.
My conclusion from very early on is that we will all be exposed and there's not shit you can do about it so focus on promoting public health and preparing to deal with it.
As soon as I heard that the disease was in Washington state in December, I knew that every lockdown and quarantine was utterly useless. You had a highly transmissible virus that showed almost no symptoms for 2 weeks in a country with total freedom of movement and no containment actions for 3 months.
You'd have better luck capturing your own fart in the wind.
