Covid-19 - Treatments & Vaccines

These people have spent the last 18 months trashing people for taking COVID seriously. Then when they get COVID, they look for sympathy and are mad when the people they've been trashing don't give it to them. And on top of that you have people like Loomer who have made a living trashing people for their race, religion, etc and can't take it when people trash them for not getting a vaccine.

Honest (naive) question. How can Desantis look at himself in the mirror?

Because whenever he looks he sees the White House in the background behind him. It may be a false vision that never becomes reality, but no doubt it's always there.

Florida had about 6000 deaths over the last month. New York had about 500. Florida may pass New York in deaths by the end of October.

It is an especially remarkable difference if you were to eliminate the first 2 months of the pandemic, a time when we were still learning how the disease spread and how to treat it, from the death totals. New York lost about 22,000 people from March 15- May 15 2020 and Florida was about 1500. Since about May 15th 2020 Florida has had about 17,000 more Covid deaths that NY.

Ah - So the data collected in the "main study" of 340,000 individuals is from self-reported symptoms, correct?

But the subgroup of 11,000 in Figure 3 is because only 11k out of the 340k (~3% of total sample) consented to blood tests?

Assuming the answer to both questions above is 'Yes', does this mean self-reported symptoms are more accurate in a study than blood tests?

Yes, though the small sub-population was by design (which is dictated by time and money), and not by participants refusing blood draw.

The blood test was an IgG test, which assesses previous exposure to COVID, but not active infection. So neither symptoms nor blood tests are "better," they just test different aspects of infection. However, the data from 340,000 participants is certainly more robust than the small subset.

I am starting to get the impression that you know more about this than Angus.
 
Got my Moderna booster today.
So far no evidence of my growing any appendages not there previously.
