Because if so... ... then you are saying the uncertainty/error can only be classified as "fake news" or "misinformation". Where you get these statistics and projections matter. Not all statistics are as valid as others. Not all studies are as valid as others. People don’t get properly educated on how to critically assess not only the sources of their info, but also the information itself. The hydroxychloroquine BS is an example of that. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppycock Posted April 17, 2020 Share Posted April 17, 2020 (edited) Time to close this thread down! There's plenty of nonsense about the coronavirus elsewhere online. Try not to bore all of us with neurotic behavior. Edited April 17, 2020 by Poppycock 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a previous thread I specifically warned that once we get past COVID19, in developing better disaster contingency plans, we shouldn't get stuck just on preparing against the threat of coronaviruses, but should think about such things as antibiotic-resistant bacteria, asteroid impacts, and Carrington events. Those are three major hazards we can probably manage with proper preparation. One that we probably can't is a supervolcano. I like the drum corps connection in the video: DeGrasse Tyson says that Apophis is the size of the Rose Bowl. Speaking of which: what corps in 2014 used an excerpt from his Cosmos narration?

Since we’re all apparently scientists now. Is Remdesivir BS too? Or would it only become BS if the Pres suggested using it? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
