Actually I did go to the CDC website and looked at the per capita death rates between states that were restrictive versus states that were not restrictive. The difference between the per capita death rates was in the neighborhood of 0.0011 percent as I recall. Immaterial. Perhaps it is you who should look at the pre vaccine numbers instead of simply buying into whatever talking points you are being fed.marindem01 wrote: ↑Fri May 13, 2022 10:18 pm Human LIfe means nothing to Joe.

But of course Joe does not believe in science, he believes the money he has and that is it.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
when did conservative whites ever live in scary times?
I remember when everyone worried about going to war with the Soviets and nuclear Armageddon. I think the difference is that we found a way to continue to live our lives. We didn’t go home to hide. We did what every “essential” worker did.
Conservatives spent the entire 1900s commuebaiting every person who rejected your violent lifestyle.
You don’t even believe in essential workers.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Mr. Biden is NOT responsible for the current Inflation, the economic polices of the Traitor wrecked havoc with it. Nor is Mr. Biden responsible for world wide inflation or the current cost of fuel. Reich Wing lies is all Joe has.
Also, it was the Traitor that caused deficit increase, all those trillion dollar tax cuts that only went to the rich, Best unemployment numbers in 50-years. Mr. Biden is decreasing the deficit in just one year.
Joe only belives the people he votes for, you know the ones that defend and support the Traitor.

The pandemic has been deadlier in red states
https://www.axios.com/2022/03/25/corona ... nes-deaths
COVID is killing more people per 100,000 in red states than in blue states, a reflection of GOP resistance to vaccines.
Why it matters: "The COVID-19 pandemic removed any doubt that state policies can affect health outcomes," Virginia Commonwealth University professor Steven Woolf recently argued in JAMA.
Between the lines: The partisan gap, measured by deaths above what would normally be expected, was particularly stark during last year's Delta wave, when all adults had access to vaccines but stark differences emerged between Democrats and Republicans' vaccination rates.
[snip]
In the pre-vaccine phase of the pandemic, blue states — particularly big cities — were hit hardest beginning in March 2020. But once those initial outbreaks subsided, the virus took off in red states and less populated areas.
The big picture: The virus has proved itself to be exhaustingly unpredictable in many ways over the last two years. But there's no doubt that tools like high-quality masks and vaccines reduce the risk of catching the virus, and in the case of vaccines, of dying from it.
That means it's not surprising that once those tools were widely available, states with political and cultural aversions to using them were hit harder.
The bottom line: America's political divisions are now on display in mortality rates.
Hmmm. The legend didn't transfer properly, so you'll need to go to the original site. BTW, it is all, too, rooted in CDC numbers. Per capita death rates.
So let's examine that graph. There is no doubt some "blue areas" were hit the hardest and fastest when the country was least aware and prepared and so the initial "blue line" surge was there April 2020 - July. But then you will see a "red overtake" from July 2020 to Jan 2021. There were no vaccines, that's being driven by differential mitigation policy.
Again, as I said, no hocus focus, no cherrypicking, though, after that initial surge, and pre-vaccination, excess deaths surged in red areas largely due to failure to adopt mitigation measures.
The next time the red line excess occurs is during the Delta Wave, where the real surge comes from failure to vaccinate, yes.
Now, BTW, what I find really interesting is you can get even more granular and also see disparities in health outcomes between Trump-supporting and non-supporting counties in the same state. Those differences don't reflect state policy (possibly local, though). But they might reflect attitudes of people who live there.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Just remember that the GOP was in charge when all this came about. It's the people YOU voted for that did it.

I don’t expect perfection from human beings. That’s as unrealistic as expecting zero Covid cases. I do expect a measure of effectiveness especially when we are putting a significant amount of stress on other people. That’s also logical and responsible. I don’t expect you to understand.
Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Yep. Republicans were in charge at the time. As I recall you ENTHUSIASTICALLY supported the restrictions. And when the election was over the next administration continued pushing all those restrictions and you ENTHUSIASTICALLY supported them as well. After the first month or so, I was opposed to most of these highly restrictive measures. We talked about it often. Maybe you forgot.
So all this really proves is you don’t have to agree with everything that your government and/or your elected officials may do.

Also, BTW, I totally agree with all your "common courtesy" points, but when dealing with a virus that can have asymptomatic spread, (let alone low levels of testing), you have to do more than just tell people what to do once they know they have it.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
I thought my point was clear, but I'll explain it further.
If you want to prevent asymptomatic spread, you cannot limit your guidance, or mandates, to people showing symptoms. Or to those who know they are positive, when there is so little testing.
People can be spreading the virus without knowing they have it.

In my opinion, if your restrictions don’t affect the outcome, why put people thru them? It wasn’t so much what it costs in terms of money as much as it was that all these restrictive measures didn’t make that much of a difference. It was also that many of the folks punching these measures often didn’t follow them. And yes, it costs us trillions and we are still paying for it today. So it would seem irresponsible not to question whether it was worth it.
I get money means nothing to you when it’s somebody else’s. I get losing a business you spent years to build means nothing to you when it isn’t yours. I have no problem with people taking measures to protect themselves. That seems to work pretty well. I do have a problem when they force people to do things that are not in their interest and claim it was for their own good. I think if you are going to do that you should be able to show it was worth it.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Closing down businesses put a lot of them into bankruptcy, but at the time with no vaccines and masks largely unavailable they went with the only measure they had. And yes, the election wasn't until November when the event we're discussing was in March, so Biden has nothing to do with it.
It might have been a bad idea to close the economy. I don't see Biden's administration doing it. We don't need to any more. We have the tools to fight the virus while keeping the economy working, but mostly it's the conservatives who by sheer kneejerk simply won't use them.
I see no problems with masking up in stores to keep people healthy and to keep the stores in business. Win-win, but that's not how Joe sees it. He's with the people who will block streets and halt the very commerce they claim to be fighting for, all over a dumb little face mask that they can take off soon as they get outside. They will CAUSE more business failures, they will make the big-box chains and the Internet online stores prosper and the mom-and-pops fail, and the virus will continue to evolve until it infects every living thing on the planet one way or another.
The numbers support everything I say. Now, of course, statistics will tell you anything if you torture them long enough, but the raw data support a conclusion closer to the professor's.

He cries about losing a business, over million people have died from COVID in the U.S. But losing his business is more important to him. Losing money is way important than dead human being.
No amount of money can bring back a dead family member, but Joe cares more his money than the lives of those around him.
Masks (which regardless of lies Joe will tell) save lives. Since the use of masks as preventive measure against COVID, the rate of Colds and Flu has decreased significantly, a fact which Joe would rather ignore or accept.
Vaccinations and boosters are saving lives, but OMMFG...Joe must have more money.

Joe does not like reading data that does not conform his already preconceived lies. Masks save lives. It is as simple as that. But money is more important to Joe. If a customer dies, another one will come along so what the hell, a worker dies, he'll hire another one at lower pay.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
All I will reiterate is my observation was during the initial wave of what were called "lockdowns," few businesses were actually shut down. Bars, gyms, some other kind of indoor locations with very close quarters, yeah. Many places were labelled "essential" and stayed open here in Miami Dade, places I never would have considered as such - ranging from pet stores to donut shops to barber shops. Restaurants often stayed open, switching to focus to patio/outdoor/terrace dining, as well as moving to a lot more takeout & delivery than usual. Grubhub and Doordash made out like bandits.
There were some capacity restrictions at restaurants and coffee shops and places like that, yeah distancing made them possibly reduce the number of customers they can seat.
All I can tell you is when people blame all of the economic downturn on those government orders, they often fail to take into account the reduced number of people patronizing businesses simply because they were more cautious about going outside during the pandemic. Both of these things were having an impact. I can tell you many business owners I know said they continued to see a slowdown in their customer base, even after deStupid "blew away" most of the so-called locally ordered "lockdowns" in Florida.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
One of my favorite places to is the Bayside Cafe in Sausalito, right there Kappas Marina. The Chicken Fried Steak is to die for. They never closed. Bayside remained open for carry out. As did many others. Did some businesses close....of course. The California Mask Mandate allowed for carry out, just not eat in. Then keeping the mask on until you started to eat. I did switch over to the digital version of the Chronicle.
As for Joe saying he went to the CDC website, post what you found Joe....oh you do not like doing that.

Re: The Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
I may not be a medical professional but you don’t have to be a medical professional to tell that deaths per capita in restrictive states were .0011percent lower than non restrictive states. That was based on the raw data as published by the CDC. Now if you desire a difference conclusion - say one that supports your theory, then you cherry pick the numbers by say completely ignoring the initial surges on the North and including the initial surges everywhere else. Not weighting them differently - completely ignoring them.gounion wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 4:31 pm They DID work. You just had a conclusion and fit the data to your pre-determined conclusion.
