The purpose of this room was to create a space for RPG.SE users to talk about their fears and problems we were experiencing during the start of the pandemic. This is not a place to spread misinformation or discuss conspiracy theories.

Since Mr. Trump keeps getting mentioned, a friendly reminder that this room is primarily for RPG.SE folks to have a place to discuss the coronavirus pandemic. Discussion concerning the US policies concerning the coronavirus is okay as long as it stays nice to everyone involved, but unrelated discussion, praise or critique of Donald Trump's or anyone else's personality or policies should go elsewhere. Thanks

@KorvinStarmast It isn't an unreasonable expectation to keep sensitive topics out of the main chat room, we want to be welcoming to everyone there. Viewing comments being moved as a personal attack isn't really necessary.

@AbhasKumarSinha As @nitsua60 said, this is great and you're certainly doing better than the likes of Spain but again, that doesn't mean that using sampling stats is a good idea - if you're still trying to contain the thing (which is great and can work really well), you need to know literally every single person who has it so you can isolate them, not proportions of the population, which is what the stats give. It's doing a better job than Europe or the US, that's pretty clear

@MartinSleziak The 'news' reports are really all complete garbage on this. The WP page not up to date. There are a few trials out there showing: "100% of the 28 studies to date report positive effects. Early treatment is more successful, with an estimated reduction of 87% in the effect measured using a random effects meta-analysis, RR 0.13 " In all fairness: that's also a pressure group as well, pushing their pet, as all others, incl of ocurse the vaccinators.

As they say - there are two factors with dealing with the spread of COVID:
1. How dense the population is
2. How dense the population is

@nitsua60 "we" aren't preventing that many. Herd immunity has not yet happened. To put this in a Darwinian frame of reference, we are being culled.

> Canlis is one of Seattle’s highest-end restaurants, with a piano player who entertains customers at the bar and a four-course tasting menu that runs $135 a person. But when the outbreak began to spread in Seattle, business started to dry up. Mr. Canlis, one of the owners, realized that his business was “one headline away” from putting 100-plus employees out of a job.

So over a three-hour meeting in an apartment overlooking the city, the managers worked out a new plan. This week, the restaurant will start selling bagel sandwiches in the morning, running a drive-through serving burgers and…

No, the real purpose of this room, according
to your actions visible for all of us to see, was to create an echo chamber. It does not look like you are self-aware about your own behavior. After providing **false data** and presenting it as true in your message here: https://chat.stackexchange.com/transcript/message/57699980#57699980, you have been repeatedly asked to provide source or remove it, according to your own policy, as misinformation. Look, I know these numbers are completely bogus and you are not going to provide any sources, because no source claims those numbers. It is obviously…

@NautArch I am extremely interesting in seeing any source for these numbers. Risk-benefit assessment is incredibly complicated subject in the context of vaccination and your message seems to have single-handedly resolved the whole issue surrounding vaccination for this particular virus. Where do these percentages come from? According to your claimed policy of "removing misinformation", these numbers should be either backed up by reliable sources (for which you have been ...

@lila Just because you are a doctor, it doesn't mean you are knowledgeable about a specific area of medicine. THis is a cardiologist, not someone who is an expert in infectious disease. Yes, they're a medical professional, but they don't have the specialty expertise that is truly important here. It is those doctors we should be looking at for information, not just 'any doctor.'

And since the COVID-19 vaccine is being given preferentially to very ill or very old people, you'd have to expect quite a few to die soon afterwards by sheer bad luck even if the vaccine had nothing to do with it. What a pity they don't seem to have kept notes of how many deaths there were of a sort that would meet the "has to be reported" standard for any other vaccine, that would settle the matter.

"Guam exceeds 62,500 adult full vaccination goal ahead of time" article in Guam Post. Guam surpassed Gov. Lou Leon Guerrero's goal of fully vaccinating at least 50% or 62,500 of the adult population on Wednesday, three days ahead of the May 1 deadline.

In short: demands for any 'herd immunity' for this remporarry at best protection through current vaccines to mean to include younf people, pregnat women, children are horrendously primitive calls from believers without any real base to argue for.

We know the risk from Corona for very young people is miniscule. If they get it!

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:42

We know the risk from the jabs for very young people is quite high for a iatrogneic action, *and they are all suposed to get jabbed.

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:42

The Norwegian Health authorities have already correctly concluded: the risk for the young from the vaccine is already bigger than from any illness.

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:41

The real risks from Coronavirus is age-stratified. Strongly so.

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:41

That skews the cost/benefit calcualtion. A lot.

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:41

All current vaccines have very high side effects ratios. Compared to other vaccinbes. And compared to the illness. WHere we need to differentiate between virus-contact, and getting ill.

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:41

But Corona has only a large impact in old, obese, male, multimorbid and so on demographics.

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:41

So, additionally, Corona is better studied than the vaccines.

Corona Cov2 is a very common virus, but Covid19 a rare disease leading seldom to death.

LаngLаngС

Apr 19, 2021 21:40

The prevalence is overall low and the mortality in the usual ILI/flu ballpark. That's bad enough already, but nowhere nearly as bad as the panic producers and fear pornographers make it out to be (and we probably all thought/expected 13 months ago)
