Covid-19

[Devildoc]

My wife's friend that is an RN, I think I mentioned how she had the 'Rona. Anyway, her 14 days are up and she's back at work.

- There's growing skepticism among the doctors and nurses that the numbers they are reporting are the same being reported to the CDC. Like the motorcyclist who crashed and died but was reported as a CV-19 fatality, the books are being cooked somewhere.

- Their hospital sent off test swabs that were never used...and they tested positive for the 'Rona. This has happened on multple occasions.

- The hospital is quietly practicing herd immunity on its staff. They are rotating staff through the CV-19 ward/ area whatever you call it until they get it, then once recovered they go off to do their old jobs.

I can't say it enough, the numbers are bullshit. The disease is bad, I won't shit on that, but the statistics being thrown around are pure trash.

Point one, check. I think I have mentioned on here we stopped looking at national numbers, and to a large extent state numbers. We have our own on-house epidemiology and ID folks keeping track of us and the surrounding areas.

Point two, that hasn't happened with us. Our admin have put in so many checks/balances to prevent purposeful or unpurposeful fraudulent reporting.

Point three, What. The. Fuck. I would spin up my favorite attorney of choice and make so much noise. That is unethical, and maybe illegal.

Regarding house arrest and contagious diseases, we've seen it done with tuberculosis. In my grad school public health classes the case law was far from settled, and the courts were generally uneasy about doing it, seeing the slippery slope of eroding civil liberties.

The tweet you posted was scrubbed. What was in it?

Also anyone have an idea of how to archive tweets?

There was a video dubbed the "white coat summit". Where a few doctors who went to testify in front of Congress to talk about Hydroxychloroquine talked at the Capital saying it works. Facebook is continuously pulling the video saying it's false information.

One of my idiot friends was like: if you think doctors are that poorly spoken then you're an idiot...literally the group of doctors had an immigrant that was on most of the video. I called him out for his soft racism.

Trump Jr's twitter account was also suspended for retweeting the video because it's "misinformation". How is it misinformation HCQ+Zinc+Zythromax have worked on hundreds and hundreds of patients?

So Facebook, Youtube, and Twitter are now controlling all information.

Well fuck... that is insane. Hope to god those companies get their collective dicks slapped. Cause what they're doing is straight outta the Chicom censorship playbook. People censoring data need to hang or at the very least face charges.

Thank you for spreading the word. Did not know any of this.

If the stats are bullshit...what else is questionable? If you can't trust simple numbers like x have the diesase, y died from the disease...how do you trust the rest of the story? Oh, the stats are wrong, but the research data is right? Yeah, hard pass from me.

Even the truth is lies because how do you trust the rest?

Found a video that sums up the politicization of hydroxycholoroquine and fear mongering.

Link to summit talk that's being censored by twitter, facebook, etc. (video quality is low though)

Maybe don't take medical advice from someone who thinks Demon sperm and witches give women gynecological problems in their sleep, that alien DNA is mixed with vaccines, asked Faucci to give her his urine to prove he was taking medication secretly, and said God would shut down Facebook's computers.

Nice hit piece, next.

Reports on Dr with history of saying crazy shit is a hit piece?

Cool. If someone is going to represent themselves as an authority figure on a topic, their background and experience is important to understand.

I may be wrong, but I don't know how common it is for a pediatrician to treat hundreds of patients out of a Christian resource center.

Immanuel is a licensed pediatrician in the State of Texas, according to the Texas Medical Board.

Her practice address is listed as 6278 Highway 6 South in Houston, which Google Maps data shows is also the location of Fire Power Ministries Christian Resource Center, a ministry which is headed by Immanuel.

Report: Texas doctor who went viral with unproven COVID-19 cure believes in 'demon sperm'

Yes, a licensed pediatrician in Texas and Louisiana. Also an Emergency Physician in Texas. Doctors tend to be "contractors" rather than direct employees to hospitals. At least that's the way it is in California.

So I doubt she's treating any of her COVID-19 patients at her practice, and most likely is treating them at the hospital she's got a contract with.

 

[Devildoc]

I don't like her and I don't believe her, but people are weaponizing her using that fallacy that if she's wrong about some things, she must be wrong about all things.

I'd be prone to call it that too if the information was very obviously exaggerated or inaccurate.

And then I found this.
Viral sensation Dr. Stella Immanuel says Jesus will destroy Facebook if her COVID video doesn’t go back up

"She refers to herself as “God’s battle axe and weapon of war” and claims that medical issues like endometriosis, cysts, infertility, and impotence are caused by sex with “spirit husbands” and “spirit wives,” a phenomenon described essentially as witches and demons having sexual intercourse with people in a dreamworld.
“They turn into a woman and then they sleep with the man and collect his sperm,” Immanuel said, according to the outlet. “Then they turn into the man and they sleep with a man and deposit the sperm and reproduce more of themselves.”
“They are responsible for serious gynecological problems,” Immanuel said. “We call them all kinds of names — endometriosis, we call them molar pregnancies, we call them fibroids, we call them cysts, but most of them are evil deposits from the spirit husband,” Immanuel said in 2013. “They are responsible for miscarriages, impotence — men that can’t get it up.”"

....

I mean, it is entirely possible that doctor whose unironic medical explanation for endometriosis is demon sex has coincidentally found a COVID-19 cure in an already disproven drug by multiple medical authorities.

It is much more likely that Minister Farrakhan has just found his spirit wife.

"Wrong about some things" isn't claiming demons cause endometriosis.

When somebody is spouting of stuff at that level of crazy, I don't think it's a fallacy to take that into account.

Now, if the only thing reported about her was her ministry being patucularly vile about LGBT+ people or her being a a Trump supporter (like some sources honed in on) I wouldn't use/accept that to discredit her.

Yeah, that's a bit out there. But maybe it's because I've been deployed, spent time in third-world places working shoulder to shoulder with indigs and local providers, but I'm just like "whatevs". That doesn't move my needle too much. That said, I've my own opinions about HQQ.

The last person in their class at West Point is still a 2LT. The last person in their class at med school is still a doctor. A title doesn't mean they know what they are doing. How many lawyers pass the bar exam, but have no clue how to apply the law? All journalisms students take a class in ethics, so of course all journalists are ethical...

Good on this Canuk hotel for thinking outside the box to save jobs and maybe an entire industry.

It's sad to see what the virus is doing to our tourism industry. Hospitality industry as a whole. Montréal is a beautiful city and has some amazing hotel's.

On the bright side, in the UAE hotels and resorts are practically fighting each other for your business. We just upgraded from a room to a one bedroom apartment for less per month.

How do you even survive in such conditions?
