  1. Clearly physical fitness functions for you the way religion does for other. How else to justify such an utterly lunatic conclusion "that ALL covid deaths are from compromised immune systems." Where in epidemiology is 100% ever a realistic number?
  2. What in the information you cited above contradicts the claim that most of those kids had comorbidities?
  3. CDC: Most Kids Dying From Coronavirus Had Underlying Conditions Enormous racial-ethnic disparities revealed as well https://www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdisease/covid19/88630
  4. I remember somewhere in one of these threads a member mentioned that he knew someone who was truly fit and healthy and your response was that she couldn't have been because if she were, she wouldn't have succumbed.
  5. Thailand appears to change policy on medical insurance for visitors The latest notice from the Department of Consular Affairs and the Tourist Authority of Thailand specifies that the medical cover required of all foreigners entering the country must be widely based: it mustn’t relate only to coronavirus illness. The text in English reads, “Medical insurance with a minimum coverage of US$50,000 should be a broad policy, not specific to Covid-19 only, and cover hospitalization expenses.” https://www.pattayamail.com/latestnews/news/thailand-appears-to-change-policy-on-medical-insurance-for-visitors-377436
  6. Maybe before vaccinations it's been a pandemic of the unhealthy. But now it's a pandemic of the unvaccinated. And these selfish people are tying up hospital critical care resources.
  7. I don't think you understand. The U.P. government claimed that very few deaths from covid occurred after treating people with ivermectin. But in fact there was a huge unexplained jump in mortality. Pretty amazing coincidence, no? Or just maybe the UP government was dishing out BS about the effectiveness of ivermection.
  8. Stop telling falsehoods. In fact, for the first 20 days of october this yearout of all the deaths due to covid in Singapore, 84 were from the unvaccinated, 30 from the singly vaccinated, and 55 were fully vaccinated. This despite the fact that over 80% of the people in Singapore were fully vaccinated. More Covid-19 patients in Singapore reported to have died in October than 18 months prior In a press conference on Oct 2, Health Minister Ong Ye Kung also said that unvaccinated people are 14 times more likely to need intensive care or die, compared with those who are vaccinated. Around three in four who were reported to have died in October were individuals who received a single dose of a vaccine or were unvaccinated. The unvaccinated accounted for 84 out of 169 of the reported deaths here this month as at Wednesday, and 30 more of the reported deaths had only a single dose of the vaccine. https://www.straitstimes.com/singapore/more-covid-19-patients-in-singapore-reported-to-have-died-in-october-than-18-months-prior
  9. These glowing reports from India made Uttar Pradesh the poster child for the effectiveness of Ivermectin. There are several problems with this claim. Here's a big one: UP: 24 districts reported 110% more deaths between July and March than same period the previous year Deaths in these districts rose to 3,75,000 in 2020-’21 from 1,78,000 deaths between July 1, 2019, and March 31, 2020, Article 14 reported. https://scroll.in/latest/998069/up-24-districts-reported-110-more-deaths-between-july-and-march-than-same-period-the-previous-year
  10. Latest research found that fluvoxamine, a generic medication, is highly effective in reducing hospitalizations and deaths. Cost for a course of treatment is as low as US$4.
  11. It turns out that in Indian states that claimed huge success with ivermectin there were also huge jumps in excess mortality...hmmm...
  12. Thanks for showing data that proves how effective social distancing is. It's only after social distancing was relaxed and Delta appeared on the scene that infections in Singapore shut up. As for you claim about deaths, despite the fact that an overwhelming majority of singaporeans have been fully vaccinated, the majority of deaths have been among those who were either unvaccinated or only inoculated once. Above someone reposted a link of mine to evidence that shows this is the case. What evidence can you link to to prove your contention about the 29 deaths?
  13. First of all I made no accusation. I asked a question. And the reason I asked that question was the comment you made concerns that should be taken for granted. So why raise the issue at all?
  14. If anything goes to show how people like you provide misleading information, your post is it. Despite the fact that a small percentage of Singapore's population remains unvaccinated the majority of death or from those who were unvaccinated or had been inoculated only once
  15. And is it your contention that these preconditions aren't the case?
  16. EDIT: I just looked it up and a Tesla Motor in at least 1 model weighs only about 70 pounds. So, it that is typical or close for other EVs I guess not much of a boost..
  17. The thing is, it's the anti-vaxxers who look to pick nits and operate by misdirection. How many times does some anti-vaxxer post re: transmission without acknowledge the huge difference in incidents of serious illness and deaths between the vaccinated and unvaccinated? Or post about the possible latent effects of vaccines, which has never been observed in any other vaccine, and not acknowledge the possibility of latent effects from covid, a phenomenon that has been observed in several other viruses?
  18. But this is about emissions. The rest is for another conversation.
  19. And here's some news that promises not only to extend the range of automobiles but could perhaps result in large electric powered commercial aircraft in a period of time somewhat shorter than 50 years. A Colorado Firm Claims It Can Triple the Power of Electric Engines The company claims that, according to the Advanced Research Projects Agency-Energy (ARPA-E) guidelines, a propulsion system of a commercial aircraft such as Boeing 737 must deliver a continuous power density of 12 kW/kg. However, conventional electric motors can only generate a maximum of up to 4kW/kg. Thanks to its reduced weight, the HPDM-250's power density clocks up to an impressive 13kW/kg. https://interestingengineering.com/a-colorado-firm-claims-it-can-triple-the-power-of-electric-engines
  20. As pointed out above, not all EVs are highly expensive. Unless you believe that a starting price slightly above $4000 is expensive. And while it's true that currently most electricity in Thailand is generated by fossil fuels, the economics of solar power make it an increasingly obvious choice for the future. Although "obvious" is an adjective that might not figure in Thai officialdom's lexicon.
