Among the most significant risk factors for hospitalization and death in Covid-19 are...

1. I'm not a commie and don't think like one as that system is totally unacceptable to me.
2. What has been roundly rejected in our society is thinking, period.
3. Yes, everything is important, but...

Oh dear, where to start? I am not saying anything about you being a Trumpist or not. I am not saying anything about your beliefs around Bill Gates and implants.

I am commenting on your apparent...

Normally, medical information is regarded as confidential. The names of individuals who became ill with COVID-19, or who died from it, have not been published.

"Jason Hine" sure got that right. The "overton window" has moved...

Still, I question the geometry of the conventional model of the so-called "political spectrum" that commonly & colloquially...

Hello dear believers and non believers,
We can no longer claim ignorance of the facts. We now know a lot about this virus that we didn’t know at the beginning of the pandemic. The main things are...

Suppose we just ignored the mask problem and made face to face meetings for masks only or meetings with proper distancing for those with no masks and virtual meetings for everyone to discuss problems...

Instead of responding to the points I made in my post, you put me down as someone whose "mind is made up" and unwilling to learn and think. This is an unfriendly and unhelpful way to relate, Judith.

I’ve been following this thread, “To mask or not to mask”, for some time now and am amazed at what I’ve been reading – or better, appalled. How can supposedly intelligent people – after all, they are...

now that you mention it, peter, an ungodly percentage of our sky-high medical costs are spent on
the very-end-of-life care.
this, of course, in a culture which fears death and desperately strives...

While policing is being discussed through a council/staff/community input model likely little will change. There are a number of reasons for this. First the spd is popular and trusted in the...

With good medical care, you have a fair chance of surviving the virus. OTOH, when hospitals are swamped, god help you.

Folks in Georgia are fucked:

So unchecked figuring 75% of the 350000000 people in the US get it at a death rate of .26 percent thats 910,000 dead. And how many with life long damage of brain, lungs, kidneys, vascular system....

It seems that most people who recover from the virus have lingering symptoms that last for months, maybe never go away? This article in The Guardian (you need to sign up for an account to read it)...

There's this... but note that the majority are Fox stations (no surprise) and CBS. I noted maybe a couple of NBC.

Beyond that, part of how the News business works is there are news services,...

As I noted, there are many such videos, and yah, there is some sort of industry service that sends out boiler plate filler stories rich in cliche. Hell, our own Press Democrat is obviously strapped...

are you referring to how Sweden's belief in herd immunity has led to record high infections, death and disastrous economic performance?

Edward,

I'm not that familiar with this publication but I must say, I've heard similar criticism about every publication on earth lately ... We're in a terrible time of propaganda and deception...

Hello Everyone,

Tribal creation / origin stories are from here. Historic ancestral creation stories are rooted in place, most often with actual descriptions of the features of the place. These stories define much...

Of course we don't have herd immunity. No human population has herd immunity from COVID-19.

What are you talking about? We are nowhere near herd immunity. How could we be?

In simple terms, herd...

By the way, Goat Rock Ukelele / Michael, The Guardian is underwritten by The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Fact. You can look it up. I did, since you mentioned the publication as "an actual...

Most of these conspiracies are cooked up by QAnon, other right wing groups and Russian trolls. When you go all way down these rabbit holes you find Trump portrayed the hero fighting against a deep...

EBM, were you wearing blackface when you wrote this? Asking for a friend.

Thanks for introducing me to the "Overton window".

I think it is much easier to induce a shift in attitudes than to turn these shifts into legislation. Such attitudinal changes include a more...

Alex, thank you for the interesting and provocative reference to the paper by Dr. Rancourt. Interesting read, that resulted in a late night of chasing down the research and conclusions, and...

I can't read the article but let's be really clear about defunding. If you have no accountability and no clear strong direction from the community, of course it's not going to end well. It means...

That's an awful story, for sure. But doesn't really apply to us here in Sebastopol which has a very low crime rate, no gangs, etc. And I think what folks are saying is we don't want to just cut...

Alex: respectfully, chain link fences may be needed to keep folks away who may carry a virus but are unable to understand that they may be asymptomatic (I assume you know what that means). Cloth face...

Fauci himself acknowledges that he lied about the masks. That’s indisputable. Fauci felt it was for a good reason - to keep supplies available to the medical professionals who really needed them.

i don't see / hear this as a lie

I gotta say, a *bioweapon* that targets old people is an extremely odd design choice (unless the objective is to reduce Medicare costs). Thanks China! It's not much good for population reduction,...

Thank you, Peter!
