Opinion | Unlearned AIDS Lessons for Covid

One early alarmist was Anthony Fauci, who made national news in 1983 with an editorial in the Journal of the American Medical Association warning that AIDS could infect even children because of “the possibility that routine close contact, as within a family household, can spread the disease.” After criticism that he had inspired a wave of hysterical homophobia, Dr. Fauci (who in 1984 began his current job, as director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases), promptly pivoted 180 degrees, declaring less than two months after his piece appeared that it was “absolutely preposterous” to suggest AIDS could be spread by normal social contact. But other supposed experts went on warning erroneously that AIDS could spread widely via toilet seats, mosquito bites and kissing.

Thanks. I didn't have a choice.

Ya know, neither do I. I come back with antibodies after 18 months of sketchy infection control with 5 out of 6 hospitals. I’ll be proclaiming my high titres again and we really don’t want to go there.

So Tony Gucci has flip flopped numerous times? Shocking.

I somehow missed all of this as a kid. All I knew about AIDS as a child was that it was primarily in gay men, but we shouldn't do blood brothers anymore just in case.

I appreciate the additional background into Faici's panic addiction.

As always, EL is right. Florida's positivity rate still nearly 3 times as high as NY's.

States ranked by COVID-19 test positivity rates: Oct. 4

what matters more - actual cases per capita or test positivity rates?

here's a hint - it's actual cases and NY has surpassed FL in new cases and cases per capita.

give it 2 weeks and we can look at hospitalization data.

Did you see the Oprah quote? My goodness.

You're getting a life destroying virus! And you're getting a life destroying virus! And YOU'RE getting a life destroying virus!

Meanwhile, her ad revenue continues to balloon.

Hey! Are you married to her? My own wife won't even let me talk like that.

How much testing is being done in DeSantis' sh*thole? New York tests out the wazoo. Positivity has been below 3% for a long time. About 1.5% in NYC. The best barometer is new daily hospitalizations. How do those compare?

if NY is testing more then of course their test positivity is lower. A larger denominator under the same numerator yields a lower number.

you know, math

I like a nurse with nice titres.

If anything the higher testing amount is artificially padding their numbers and making their rates look better than they are. I guess after how Cuomo slaughtered the elderly early on I can see them trying to reform their dumbass image

In before the inevitable "if they'd have just given him ivermectin" response from @Rasputin_Vol

An Ohio COVID patient treated with ivermectin after wife sued hospital has died

Butler County Judge Michael A. Oster Jr. ordered the hospital to cease administering the unproven treatment, arguing that “judges are not doctors or nurses.”

Crazy... so a judge prevented a doctor from prescribing a drug, and then has the nerve to say this on the bench.

The man was on his death bed. WTF did they have to lose by giving him Ivermectin?

That is a good profit margin.

I'd love to be a scientist or chemist there, having that profit add to my paycheck.

Wait, memo just came in... CEO is getting a third beach house and the VPs all just got new cars; scientists and chemists wages frozen.

Ah corporatism.

Have I ever shown you how distributing ceo compensation to employees impacts the underlings paychecks in large corporations?

About tree fiddy.

Three dollars and fifty cents.

It's been pointed out to Ash a number of times, but he continues to believe there would be worthwhile wage growth by docking the suits. Regardless of performance impact

Yeah, it's paltry.

Yeah, it's paltry.

You just stirring the pot, Ash? Nothing against you if you were. Our board feeds on conflict.

So here's an interesting statistic. The average daily deaths from Covid is a bit higher under Biden (1158) than under Trump (1077). About 405K died while Trump was in office (Jan 9, 2020 - Jan 20, 2021). About 300K have died since (Jan 20 2021 - Oct 6 2021).

At the current rate, more people will die under one year in the Biden administration than in just over a year under the Trump administration.

I'm not blaming either but it's interesting that the narrative is Trump completely bungled Covid while Biden is handling it well. The outcomes show equivalence.

That is a good profit margin.

Pharma always runs on high gross margins. The costs are in R&D and other operating costs; not Cost of Goods sold.
