@YaleDawg I’ve read your arguments since I cornered you this afternoon on the seriously flawed study you posted as proof that Dr Risch is wrong. Since that time, you have made 21 comments. 2 upvotes.
Not that UV’s are the end all be all. If I had a dollar for every genius and profound comment I’ve made on this board without an UV I would have a newer flats boat, but it is worth noting how the mob seems to have taken a really long lunch this afternoon.
What was the flaw in the study?
You got me. /s
See 3 posts ago. I guess you read answers about as well as you give them 🤣

Thanks for the laugh man I needed that.
It's obvious this thread seems to be about something besides the actual public health crisis for some here, which is sad.
I loved JSK's quote he shared summarizing the ceiling and floor of attempted conversion. Liam's Neeson heard "good luck" and was able to travel across the world in an instant, uncover a years old prostitution ring complete with fall guys, payed off cops and billionaire businessmen at the helm, outsmart and evade an entire first world countries secret service and defense system, beat the **** out of an entire organized, hardened from youth, band of international criminals and thugs, conquer a massive yacht in a video game themed extended fight scene where he defeats all the stage bosses including street brawler boss, weapon crazed artillery expert boss, martial artist all around next I'm charge boss, and Jabba the Hut. He got off easy.
"Good luck" folks.
The last time you posted this, I asked what questions I had avoided. The crickets were unmistakeable.
So you are saying, as of 8 weeks ago today, the excess deaths in Florida are about 118? There had been about 2300 covid deaths in Florida on that date. It is interesting that NYC has roughly the same number of excess deaths as covid deaths. I believe excess deaths out number covid deaths in NYC.
When did Florida first start underreporting deaths? The data was accurate and reliable, until it wasn’t.
If Florida is underreporting covid deaths, it will show in a large number of excess deaths. I think you are saying that is not currently the case, but apologies if I have misinterpreted.
Sorry...my baby had a rough day in the ICC here in Minnesota so these [redacted] measuring contests between posters take on an extra special kind of insignificance for me today. When I really want to get depressed I think about how I’ll have to sell my second child to pay for the medical care of my first.
Count your blessings that your actual problems are so small you get to come on here and try to convince strangers to accept your type of preferred bias. Things could always be worse.
Nice day, hot day, here in SC.
Most public schools are going to a hybrid (2 days a week at school) schedule here to start the year. Most independent schools are going back 5 days a week (smaller classes, no busses, etc.). Public school sports are ALLEGEDLY starting back, just 2-3 weeks late.
Cases seemed to have leveled at least here, with a lagging death rate that has risen. Nothing "exponential," but hospitalizations still ticking up. Hope we have peeked and will start easing back down.
Mask participation has steadily increased, as has general sanity when it comes to doing simple things to stay safe.
Okay then. I had asked if a couple were tested every day for say 9 days and 1 tested positive and 1 negative each day, according to your method that equals 1 positive and 9 negative so 10% of them had the virus. My method has 50% positive, Which is correct? You replied that nobody gets 9 negative tests rather than answer which is correct. If I add that that the couple was Stephen and Katie Miller maybe you can understand that it would indeed be possible. i had decided to let it be but if you insist. What % of S and K Miller were positive?
I said I can't give a number because excess death data runs about 8 weeks behind. I said the 118 were non-resident deaths which are not in the numbers reported to CDC. I also explained the likely 500+ are not in there due to excessive reporting delays (a la Texas yesterday). These don't count the excess deaths. Do you not read or choose to not understand? I am done with your acting.
What's going on with reporting in Texas? Are they adding previously unreported deaths to the count?
Interesting.
Here are the CDC numbers for 2019-20. It would be unfair to compare the entire year, since Florida didn’t record its first death until March 7th. Granted, there may be a fair number of deaths from Covid prior to awareness of the virus, but those deaths would not count as being “undercounted.”
During the time period of the end of week 10 until week 22, 2019, the state of Florida recorded all causes of deaths at 53826.
All causes of death for the same week 10-week 22, 2020 were 57376, which is an excess of 3550 deaths. On June 1, Florida had 2640 covid deaths.
A difference of 910.
Cumulative totals from week 10-week 27, 2019 were 73397.
Cumulative totals from week 10-week 27, 2020 are 79070.
A difference of 5673. On July 7 there 3873 covid
A difference of 1800.
Have the number of covid deaths been underreported in Florida?
It certainly seems possible
That’s the question you’ve been stewing over? D.umb question.
As for the rest, I was simply asking for clarification. It f you’ll read my response then you’ll see I’ve given an honest analysis. No act. Loosen your panties.
Mood...
