Credibility is in the eye of the beholder. I find it helpful to recognize that COVID-19 is a medical issue, social issue and political issue. And I find it helpful to note that just because someone has letters after one's name, or has a big name, he or she in not necessarily a bona fide expert...

I notice you do not have letters after your name. Does that make you the real expert? Does that make you the one to whom people should turn to learn the real truth about COVID-19? A few months ago, I was at a car dealership service counter and an unmasked, loud-talking customer there said she...

That's true. It's also true that tobacco and alcohol shortens millions of lives and degrades the quaility of life for millions more. For every George Burns story, there are thousands if not millions of other stories involving suffering and early death.

Because it affects our business, I check FL COVID-19 numbers almost every day. No media outlet is needed to do that. Simply go directly to the sources that originate the data; the same sources the media goes to when they see fit to do a COVID-19 story. While "dropping like a rock" is a good...

Recent (Sept.) information about FL nursing home deaths and COVID-19 Florida continues to rank first in the nation in nursing home deaths

Is there such a person on earth or in the history of science? A link to an article that introduces the scientific method is below. Notice that the advancement of science or scientific knowledge begins with a question and scientists are human beings. Therefore human beings begin the process. I...

So the only experts you'd support are those who share and have the courage to espouse your political view? You talk of following the science. Where the scientists do not agree, whose science do you follow? Also, when you say "follow the science", what does that mean exactly? What is it exactly...

Just like champion baseball players like Babe Ruth misses more than he hits, experts are wrong more than they are right. Science is not advanced by knowing the truth in advance. It is advanced by experimentation which shows what does not work more often than it shows what does. It frustrates...

I'm not disputing that liquor stores generate tax dollars. That's obvious. But I do not believe states kept them open for tax reasons alone or even primarily. If it was about every nickel, they would have kept all businesses open. But it was not about every nickel. To me, the shutdowns seem...

Interesting. So far, the only other news organizations reporting this cite the Epoch Times as the source. It would be a big story if true. Waiting to see if this is confirmed by others.

Your study, my study .... this is not a contest. Can't you simply wait for the time required for comprehensive research to be done, for the multiple studies to be peer-reviewed, and for a consensus of experts to develop for the truth to then be known? I only posted the link I did to illustrate...

That's not even close to accurate. If taxes was a driving reason to keep businesses open, businesses would have been kept open. Every month, our gym sends thousands of dollars to the state for sales taxes. When we completed our sales tax return for our first full shutdown month, I actually felt...

I agree. Theoretically, it is possible to stop the virus in its tracks, but as a practical matter it is not. Theoretically, we could lock down the world (not shut down but lock down), fixing everyone in place until the virus runs its course in those who have it but spreads no further for lack of...

Yes, it would be something if we had the answer all along. But as with most things COVID, it's not that simple. https://www.recoverytrial.net/news/recovery-trial-finds-aspirin-does-not-improve-survival-for-patients-hospitalised-with-covid-19

If you can't manage a pandemic, what can you do? Or do you do nothing and simply let it run?

We can check the numbers for any time period we want. Above was about the summer surge. The virus was first reported in Florida in March, 2020. If we wished, we could compare that date to present. Or we could compare calendar year 2020, year-to-date 2021, or any other time period. The question...

There has been talk in this thread about the effectiveness or ineffectiveness of certain state governors in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. Is a state's COVID-19 death rate a reasonable indicator of a governor's effectiveness? If a state has a low COVID-19 death rate compared to others, can...

Nearly all doctors say the opposite

So if covid "is just not manageable and may never will be," what would you change? Would you have Vermont cease its vaccination program so it no longer leads the country in the number of vaccinated people?
