You are over-interpreting the data. Covid-19 is causing a spike in visits. The CDC page that you cite has this notice at the top: Note: The COVID-19 outbreak unfolding in the United States may affect healthcare seeking behavior which in turn would impact data from ILINet. Looking deeper at the...

Do you have a source for that? I couldn't find it.

Well, sure. That the virus doesn't normally aerosolize means you can isolate someone in your household if you're cautious -- separate bathrooms (or cleaning well after use), separate bedrooms, 6 feet physical distance -- if the virus aerosolized, this would be impossible. If you're not cautious...

So this is for trials. What exactly is the difference between Hydroychloroquine and Chloroquine? I had assumed these were synonyms. The Minnesota study Post-exposure Prophylaxis for SARS-Coronavirus-2 uses this dosage: Drug: Hydroxychloroquine 200mg tablet; 800 mg orally once, followed in 6...

How much is a dose? This could be enough for 3500 cases: recommended chloroquine phosphate tablet, 500mg twice per day for 10 days for patients diagnosed as mild, moderate and severe cases of novel coronavirus pneumonia and without contraindications to chloroquine. [Expert consensus on...

The most basic refutation is that doing less gives us situations like Wuhan (emergency hospitals erected, lockdown) and Italy (people over 60 excluded from advanced medical care because the hospitals can't cope). If your opinion is that we needn't stress about that (like Texas Lt. Gov. Dan...

Pretty much every effective medicine is a poison. It depends on the dosage. It may turn out that these people were killed by bunk. The prime area for bunk to be harmful has always been medicine.

I find that I have access to a lot of the same information that experts have. And I have access to broadcasts with experts on youtube. I can see the press briefings of the RKI and the WHO and enjoy a daily podcast with Germany's top virologist explaining the scientific view of the latest studies...

I did not refer to the bit beginning "in the medical sector", and it's irrelevant to the nature of the epidemology of Covid-19 that Dr. Paul Offit is discussing. I still don't understand why you highlighted it.

What is the point of the yellow highlight?

This is the RKI FAQ (German): https://www.rki.de/SharedDocs/FAQ/NCOV2019/FAQ_Liste.html The pertinent question is "Wie funktioniert der Meldeweg, was ist alles meldepflichtig und welche Informationen zu den Erkrankten werden ans RKI übermittelt?": How does the official reporting chain work, what...

A medical worker from Louisiana describes the impact it's had on him and his hospital and his patients. I decided against quoting his description of the symptoms, because it is fairly graphic, but the whole article is worth reading anyway...

Two sides of the same coin. They don't care unless it concerns them personally.

Are you certain that changing your location has an effect? If you'd like to test, that's a German video, it doesn't link to the WHO or the CDC, and the channel has a state media insert normally. This is what it looks like in Germany: Youtube also offers support information on the insert...

The Guardian has a story about a woman who sent a message from her hospital bed that then went viral on social media. In the video, which has been viewed tens of thousands of times, Langston said: “If anyone is thinking of taking any chances, just take a look at me. I’m in the intensive care...

Youtube channel abacaba produced a video comparing Covid-19 to all other 2000s epidemic outbreaks, but it might as well have been titled "coronavirus vs. swine flu". Source: https://youtu.be/n4no04822NQ They also make the point that cumulative cases does not reflect the dynamics well, since...

You may be thinking of this thread https://www.metabunk.org/threads/does-sundial-disprove-flat-earth.7578/ or this post https://www.metabunk.org/threads/how-to-debunk-flat-earth-without-relying-on-nasa-or-photos.10557/#post-229547 (my favorite low-tech debunk #3). You can probably do this...

FE generally has to warp the sun position, because otherwise the sun positions at sunrise and sunset being southeast and southwest in the Southern Hemisphere in the summer can't be explained away: if the sun is circling above the equator, between the two tropics, it should always be north of...
