Coronovirus IV

Truth is contained within the boundaries, but only the boundaries and what lies outside them can be known. Experience teaches us approximations to the truth (what you seem to label practical enough for use) and what is not true thus changing the boundaries which contain the truth without ever really isolating truth itself for errors are also contained within the boundaries which will only be brought to light through experience.

Okay, that explanation is clearer. That's pretty close to my own thinking.

Well yes. We're testing broader classifications of people, and it sounds like the testing might be of higher accuracy. Possibly the only class of people we're not testing is

I don't think that is tested for... clinical diagnosis only.

I predict that Cuomo will become more and more unhinged as he desperately tries to stay out in front of the story of all the old people he killed

 

[foszoe]

Probably just thinks he is trying to rush one through.

So do I.

Then again I would like to get Lasik but I want to wait until its proven effective.

He'll probably want to test it on nursing home residents first. "Look! Trump's vaccine killed this 98 year old woman with cancer and heart disease! It's not safe!!"

Who knows, maybe people up there in the high cold country are adapted after centuries of less vitamin D and are harder nuts for the bug to crack. Or maybe somebody's fibbin'.

Dude, Lasik surgeries have been performed for more than 40 years.

Modern-day LASIK a popular option for vision correction

Now that some of the skepticism of the laser-assisted procedure has waned, LASIK surgery has become relatively common. In fact, the AAO stated that 28 million LASIK procedures have been completed worldwide. Additionally, an analysis of 3,000 peer-reviewed papers by the American Society of Cataract and Refractive Surgery revealed that the patient satisfaction rate for LASIK lies at more than 95 percent.

I'd say the procedure is long past being proven effective.

No kidding. I went from 20/700 to 20/15. It lasted 15 years. Unfortunately, my eyes have gotten bad since then. I'd do it again in a heartbeat, but they told me it was a one shot deal.

I think he was being faces... facis... facetious! Yeah, that's the word I was looking for.

My eye doc just told me two weeks ago that one eye is bad enough for a touch up. I was ready to head in but decided to wait until all this crazy crap has waned. Got mine done in 2012.

Back to the topic at hand: according to latest numbers by the state, Indiana has had 3,340 COVID related deaths. Based on a state population of ~ 6.75 million, COVID has led to the deaths of 0.049% of the population. Just slightly more than 1/20th of one percent.

Admittedly I'm not the best at math, so somebody should double check my work on that.

Correct

Better lock it down again. Those numbers are way to high

Thanks for the stat, I was wanting to know where that figure was now.
I stopped following the stats since the numbers were so all over the place depending on the source & the standard of what constituted a genuine covid death.
I'm truly deficient in math skills. Please excuse if I did this wrong.
I had to multiple 6.75 million (6,750,000) x .00049 to get 3308 deaths.

Is that correct: (.049%) is the same as (.00049) b/c you have to add two zeros to change the % to purely a decimal?

http://www.coronavirus.in.gov/2393.htm I can't argue with your numbers, MCgrease.

I'm still fuming over Boss Hogsett's press conference yesterday. Basically, when Marion Co. has a daily 'new case' rate of less than 35 a day for seven consecutive days the good doctor will recommend that they begin to open things back up. There are nearly 1M people in Marion Co. so the statistical likelihood that more than 35 people will not test positive in any given day...I'll just throw away my calculator. We will get to re-open after we vote the dictator out.

Out of the around 2% of the population that has gotten it in Vigo County, around 1% of those who have gotten it has passed away. Most were over the age of 55.

Basically correct. It comes out to 0.0495% or 0.000495. This is slightly less than 1/20th of one percent.

 

[foszoe]

That's like 50%!!!!!

Word of the day!

Opprobrium is a word that doesn't get used with nearly enough frequency.

No. I maintain, and will continue to maintain, that the ultimate TDS - and the one that almost certainly cost tens of thousands of American lives - is the anti-HQC effort.
