You see, you can't win.

1. You lockdown (to save hospitals anyway), they say "you're killing the economy".

2. NZ avoids COVID for a year, they say "NZ wasted billions now that they have some cases". Although NZ economy was just fine this past year.

It's all trolling.
NZ stayed positive
US (example) negative 4%
Canada negative 5%
I should have said "did much better than others" not "just fine". My error.
Also do you see the "elimination" straw man? Not much to do but recognize and ignore these idiot/biased trolls.
And I highly doubt NZ "wasted billions" and certainly not more than we lost in lost GDP.

Canada lost 0.1 trillion = 100 billion dollars.

Or, put another way, our public health just blew 100 billion dollars.
I'm gonna click that fourth one for sure
Search results I can get behind.
Trust MTV to bring the goods
1.5 billion buys you 6.3 billion chicken nuggets (with sauce).

So Canada just blew ~66 x 6.4 billion chicken nuggets = ~422 billion chicken nuggets.

I'm sad now, and I don't even like chicken nuggets.
Lining up 422 billion chicken nuggets end to end reaches the moon 27.9 times.
Only about 1/14th of the way to the Sun though.

Not sure if the closest ones would get nice and toasty then. Might be better to use the toaster oven.

Stupid arguments get chicken tenders responses now.

No time for sea lioning.

Arf arf.

Ah the usual suspects say no elimination because it's only been achieved for smallpox and "a cattle virus".

What she doesn't say is that the "a cattle virus" is rinderpest, measles' cousin.

Also, side note, rinderpest transmitted by "air", as even Wikipedia knew. Image
Also, in terms of mellowing, measles guessed to have split from rinderpest in ~600 BC

yet in 2600 years, rinderpest never mellowed for cattle because its mortality was around 100% in ~ 2000 AD

& measles didn't seem to have mellowed for us humans in 2000yrs either Image
Anyway just noting the disingenuous phrasing referring to measles' cousin as "a cattle virus" to make the point that its something to be brushed off and not relevant to anything grounded in reality.

Good PR, but it's PR.

So much for unbiased evidence-based "experts"

@jvipondmd Dude I've walked through construction sites and never got hit with a brick, so we know paper party hats are protective.
We also asked workers repeatedly, incessantly, almost to the level of harassment, and in the end they admitted they took the party hats off in the break room
/s
@jvipondmd In fact, we looked at April to June 2020 where there was no brick work being done on the construction site, and there were 5500 hours of workers in paper party hats, and yet not one got hit with a brick. I have an email testifying to that, which I wrote myself, as proof /s
@jvipondmd But no, you cannot look at our records, and if you found someone who during that period got hit with a brick, they definitely got hit at home, even though we don't test bricks, and it's kind of weird because construction sites have more bricks and bricklayers than homes.

GBD PEOPLE SAY I'M NOT POSITIVE BUT ARE YOU KIDDING THE DOGE DOG IS STILL ALIVE!!!

distractify.com/p/dogecoin-dog…
I was actually surprised. The meme must be from 2010 or so - has been 12 years now more or less. Neat. All happiness to the doge.

Such virus. So suppress. Such health protection.

Jennifer's great idea to make this chart, orig w/ measles, TB and COVID.

@rdumont99 kicked @JenniferKShea and I to update, @jljcolorado joined. I dumped 18 mo of studies in and we searched a few new. There are more out there.

I said the evid was overwhelming.

There we go.
BTW if you think otherwise, make a chart for droplet ... go on ...

... I guarantee the following:

1. Droplet ones are "evidence for airborne is not sufficient", "we used surgical masks and didn't get sick" and "we p-tested and it's the nebulizer"

2. Fomite ones are "we painted (lots of) virus on hands" + "people touch their faces" t/f possible

When I sample virus in air, I moisten a Q-tip, wave in the air, then bottle it up.

CONFIRMED SCIENCE

(bottom line in pic)
cc @jljcolorado @kprather88 correct method right?

Why are you grinding your teeth? I can hear it from Canada.
@drkristenkc This is pretty solid science right here, right?
