    According to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll, 44 percent of Republicans believe that Bill Gates is plotting to use a mass COVID-19 vaccination campaign as a pretext to implant microchips in billions of people and monitor their movements — a widely debunked conspiracy theory with no basis in fact...

    Claim: U.S. Covid-19 Deaths are being Artificially Inflated

    I've heard the opposite here, on a video by Youtuber Doctor Mike, whose channel I recommend, debunking Plandemic: Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWpjc1QZg84&t=10m35s 10:35 WOMAN IN VIDEO: If my husband were to die, who has COPD, his lungs have fibrosis, his lungs would look exactly...

    Coronavirus Statistics: Cases, Mortality, vs. Flu

    Yes, because you are comparing small countries with an entity the size of a continent. The EU as a whole has ~295/1M deaths, and I believe the "new deaths" numbers are dropping faster than the US's. Belgium is the worst-hit country in the EU, and it still looks better than New York State. The...

    Excerpted: Carnegie Mellon University researchers have discovered that much of the discussion around the pandemic and stay-at-home orders is being fueled by misinformation campaigns that use convincing bots. To analyze bot activity around the pandemic, CMU researchers since January have...

    Fravor's Hypersonic UFO observation. Parallax Illusion? Comparing Accounts

    That makes no sense to me. Common airliners range from ~120ft (A320, B737) to ~240ft (A380, B777). Many submarines are much larger than that.

    Claim: UFO following jet into landing at JFK on 11/11/19

    The refueling idea would explain the time discrepancy: if this was an operation that went on for quite a bit, there could have been more than one refueling, one of these observed by the reddit poster, and another caught on video an hour later.

    Claim: UFO following jet into landing at JFK on 11/11/19

    Smugglers sometimes fly close to commercial airplanes. The planes avoid radar detection by flying on the tails of commercial airliners or carrying sophisticated radar-scrambling scrambling gear that befuddles air traffic control as they cross the nation's southern borders. ''We know for a fact...

    Coronavirus Statistics: Cases, Mortality, vs. Flu

    I only have a third-hand source for this, but I heard that vitamin D insuffiency can be caused by kidney problems. We know that Covid-19 can involve the kidneys, so maybe the vitamin D link may be a matter of a common cause, i.e. kidney problems preciting bad outcomes for Covid-19, and vitamin.D...

    a) Your comparison is skewed, the median European country as per https://www.ecdc.europa.eu/en/cases-2019-ncov-eueea is Finland with 47 deaths per 1000 cases. Iceland has the low end at 5.5. b) The Arab countries are in the exponential phase of the spread. Deaths lag case reporting by about two...

    COVID-19 Coronavirus current events

    Poeple have been arguingt that "more testing causes more cases to show up", suggesting that tests actually don't reflect the true situation. That is true if a region is undertesting and can't test all people that have a high risk of being infected, because then more tests means you can discover...

    I'm sorry, my bad. It just seems bizarre that somebody would fear losing their job over 2 weeks of sick leave.

    If people don't shame you, there is no stigma. Stigma can manifest itself in many ways. It can be something very direct, like when a person with a disease or known to have had a disease experiences discrimination. Stigma can lead to continued fear as people with a disease anticipate...

    If they'd been able to be open about it, maybe the funeral would have been handled differently? If you stigmatise the diagnosis into hiding, if you are afraid of getting diagnosed, or telling people about it, these things happen, Deirdre.
