    I wonder if CPAP (continuous positive airway pressure) machines can be used for ventilators.

  4. OMG, where did you find this example of marketing racism? This was around the time that All in the Family was a prime time show. And the nation laughed at Polish jokes.

    The very last polish joke I ever heard was "How much do Polish hookers pay you after sex?" around 1985.

    I made it..
     
  6. No, a ventilator is used on someone who has been intubated. A CPAP is just an air pump that runs continuously. It can't mimic breathing in and out the way a ventilator does.

    First of all, that all depends how it was predicted. It doesn't make them by definition more qualified or legit, no. You simply for some reason want to portray it like that.
    Secondly, nobody called an expert in a specific field an expert on statistics in this particular and unique situation.
    Thirdly, just because a country's officials go with certain measures based on what the experts (not just one mind you) say doesn't mean all countries go with the same measures. So here too discrediting the experts makes little sense.

    You can repeate this stuff endlessly as if you're trying to convey something important (reminds me a bit of stormountainmans approach of how he tries to break it to people how bad republicans are), but what kind of significant truthbomb are you pretending to drop? That the experts are wording stuff in a particular way to avoid making it clear they don't know exactly how it will go. Uhm, but who thinks otherwise? And is it done for dubious reasons? Now, lets look at what's the use is of you acting like you share some important truth about them (experts, government or health organisation officials, or their spokesmen) not saying how unclear it may be. And mind you, most are honest about the fact it is unclear. It's part of the reason they word it as they do.

    No such thing as an expert?:smirk:
    There are too many variables out of his control. Estimation is how being an expert works in some fields.
     
  10. While that sounds promising, it assumes all things are equal. Since humans are involved, I think we will see recurring infection centers while a vaccine is chased down.

    Lax Sweden 'outlier' on virus restrictions

    After a long, dark Scandinavian winter, the coronavirus pandemic is not keeping Swedes at home even while citizens in many parts of the world are sheltering in place and won't find shops or restaurants open on the few occasions they are permitted to venture out.

    The streets of Stockholm are quiet but not deserted. People still sit at outdoor cafes in the centre of Sweden's capital. Vendors still sell flowers. Teenagers still chat in groups in parks. Some still greet each other with hugs and handshakes.

    Swedish authorities have advised the public to practice social distancing and to work from home, if possible, and urged those over age 70 to self-isolate as a precaution.

    Lax Sweden 'outlier' on virus restrictions
     
  12. Agreed. Statistics, tea leaves, Ouija board, whatever works as long as we come to know the future.

    I throw my poop on the wall, then after it has thoroughly dried i interprete the future of next week with it. If somehow more accurate than what the established scientific community and their experts estimated, VG sees me as the most credible :grinning::sunglasses:
    Polish hookers were a thing in the states in the 80s?

    Death toll in the USA alone is now at 2,385 dead Americans.
    The Trump Misadministration today announced we should expect another 100,000 to 200,000 more dead Americans.

    That's a lot of painfully spit-up American blood on the hands of Donald "Fake Newz!!" Trump and his cult.

    That's equal to thirty to sixty 9/11's on the way, inbound, and just watch, this fucking government won't do one fucking thing for you.

    EDIT: MORE DEAD REPORTED SINCE I STARTED TYPING THIS.
    THE DEATH TOLL IN THE USA FROM THIS AHEM 'HOAX' IS NOW 2,391
