Cookster was not they were expressing data and data that some disagreed with along with opinions that was disagreed with. Should I call you a liar for your constant posting of info that I find questionable? Including CDC?
We can't discuss moderating, all I can really say is if the thread keeps swinging off-topic and blurring the lines into political discussion, then it'll be shut.
Sorry, I wasn't asking you to talk about moderating (I don't know/care who the offenders are), but my question was why would the thread get shut down instead of the offending people?
in the US,just under @33,000 currently hospitalized for Covid, data and treatment curves have dramatic reduction in deaths. So it would appear that the strategy is working ok..current numbers, achieved immunity through a scientific and natural mix..constant research..non stop science..has things at a workable level.

Glad you are still keeping the count going. Seems the major media in the USA no longer have the death counter going------------------------- wondering why.
That's bazaar because you and cookster insisted that we should no longer look at cases and hospitalization, and only look at death to determine severity. Now you say that 'death count gives the wrong impression' and cookster likes it. Shift much?
I don't post because I am attempting to be a journalist. There are a few here who are US military veterans, so that data set says, or doesn't have to say, we were given dozens of vaccines as a mandatory part of service. Entering the primary and secondary school system in Arizona,at my time of attendance,required a series of vaccines no if ands or buts,get or can't enter. So just guessing on what both environments would have looked like w current template superimposed..destroyers, aircraft carrier,huge bases w a volatile,deadly mix of unvaccinated..school systems w 10's of thousands entering and mixing, sounds like a kiddy catastrophe in the making..
I have no idea about real life issues......? My post had nothing to do about my opinion other than Gov Kristi Noem was supporting dialogue on health issues in a meaningful way until the interviewer asked a more specific question about a landmark health/policy decision. Watch the interview and then you may know something. Gov Noem diverted from the topic and went to the standard policy line about unrelated issues. Unchained was, as I read that post; pessimistic about meaningful and honest dialogue about upcoming health threats. I said "Hopefully not" and referenced a hopeful response on such topics by a Governor that typically doesn't veer off of one side of health policy. That's progress from a politician.
cookster stated that Omicron was 'not the beast that some here said it would be', but it was the most deadly time for his country (at that point). How is the most deadly time not a beast? When cookster was asked that, they just shifted away from that data to improving trends data.
FDA authorizes protein-based Novavax Covid vaccine for adults
Approval of shot widens options against the virus as CDC will meet next week to decide whether to sign off on vaccine
If you are a US citizen / green card holder you do not have to show proof of vaccination to enter the USA from a foreign country.
In my opinion her diversion off topic of covid should have been the end of any details shared in a covid thread.

Not bizarre I was being sarcastic as to why the media would stop keeping a death counter and also as to what is the enthusiasm to post the death count when its essentially flat with little to no spikes in deaths.
1-Not comparing to flu.
Hospitalization numbers are good at this time. I noted that above. Yet now you want to talk about them...... its good news so why talk about it.1-Not comparing to flu.
--comparing data utilization to determine severity.
---during a bad flu year its in the news every day.
2-Obesity is not communicable.
--obesity has been an increasing problem for decades.
--obesity does get media attention (look how much more its gotten in the SC2 years)
--there is significant research on obesity.
--for a data comparison though, 300,000 + die from obesity each year (USA).
---at least double that if you count co morbidities.
--People don't die from obesity, they die with obesity.
The historical death count demonstrates how horrible SC2 has been. It isn't useful to tell us were we stand today, but daily/weekly death counts are a useful indicator of current severity. Obviously, hospitalization numbers also give us another metric of severity.
We're close to a similar opinion. I think she should have stayed on the topic and answered the question. But that's reality and neither of us can curate the truth. You can choose to ignore it or get upset but it's what happened.
Let's also compare to the few remaining tobacco smokers, too? How about steriod abusers?
