No matter how hard people go after each other for whatever reason on here, Spock always brings everyone together.
What all of you dont realize is that the troll act is going on year 12.
You guys are actually victims of it.

You've spent 12 years acting like a troll on a message board with 25 people - most of whom automatically disregard what you say - and we're the victims?

Riiiiggggghhht....So pretending to be a complete idiot - for 12 years - entertains you? Maybe you can dumb that up for me....
posted by jmogCan you link the study/ies about asymptomatic spread, because it seems like just the opposite of what you're saying. A healthy person can also be infected/asymptomatic, and unless you were tested you'd never know. That's the whole point. How many times have we heard of someone being positive and they felt fine? But then they go about life normal and give it to someone who won't be fine...2. Masks do work, they keep a sick person from spreading germs. They don’t do anything for a healthy person.

One of the dumbest things you’ve said, and you’ve said a lot of dumb things.
Yeah, saying what the CDC says is dumb...

Hey, if calling someone a fucking idiot (or some variation on that) roughly 300 times a year makes me a victim, I have no problem with that!
Always love the trolling backpedal.
Jokes on you guyz!

I think I understand now why schools have banned dodgeball...

Haha, so the CDC said “masks don’t do anything (nothing!) for a healthy person” ???

Lol, when you realize you failed at math “I WAS JUST TROLLING!”

Four individual studies from Brunei, Guangzhou China, Taiwan China and the Republic of Korea found that between 0% and 2.2% of people with asymptomatic infection infected anyone else

Yes, they have multiple times.

That article is full of support for asymptomatic transmission.
"Early studies from the United States (77) and China (78) reported that many cases were asymptomatic, based on the lack of symptoms at the time of testing; however, 75-100% of these people later developed symptoms."
There you go. What's healthy today may not show signs of illness 'til tomorrow.
Edit: Idk why the font looks like that.

The WHO said, based on tens of thousands of contact tracings across many countries, "asymptomatic spread was very rare".
That, of course, upset a lot of the pandemic porn producers and so the WHO pretended to walk back that comment the following day. But they never retracted or corrected the above statement, which is plainly factual.
posted by ptown_trojans_1Just took a quick glance at the CDC website and Maryland looked to be a little higher than Ohio the last 7 days.Ohio and Maryland were on similar tracks for months and then Maryland issued mandatory masks and our cases went down....Ohio did not and your cases are way up in comparison.

Nothing you quoted there said anything about asymptomatic transmission. It was about the percentage of infections that were asymptomatic.

No.
Ohio has over 9k cases and MD has over 5k the last 7 or so days.

Also, MD has about 500 people in the hospital and Ohio has over 1,000 in the hospital currently.

That is true.
I was more saying throughout all of this MD and Ohio have had around the same numbers. DeWine and Hogan were usually following the same policies and guidance.
They changed once Ohio numbers started to climb again last month. MD has stayed largely flat.
Current fatality rate is .04% of the population
population is 40% obese

Ehhhh, OH numbers tripled from the low while Maryland doubled.
It does provide some context, though, for how big of a difference masks make (or don't). I think the big culprit was bars and maybe restaurants, and maybe private parties even more so. I also think if you don't maintain social distance that you will still infect people even if you're wearing a mask. Whether that's 30 minutes or several hours I have no idea.
