we were all thoroughly warned by even Facebook and YouTube themselves that "beware, the Russians and Chinese and various foreign agents are going to double down on their misinformation, hacking, divisive postings, and fear mongering, and we will try to stop a lot of it but we can't police every square inch of our universes at all times so please use your own common sense while watching and ingesting content, especially if it <insert list of suspicious tell tales here>
2.5% antibody prevalence for an IFR of .17%, or in the range of seasonal flu (same thing everyone else has found). We only need to get to 65-70% for this to be over:

So "common sense" and "practical experience" is now better than scientific facts.
Especially your common sense?
FYI, science encompasses both of those things and much, much more.
I guess YouTube trumps all of it?
That article reports on a debate among researchers regarding both the antibody prevalence rate and the IFR. You summarize the low end numbers as conclusive. Why?2.5% antibody prevalence for an IFR of .17%, or in the range of seasonal flu (same thing everyone else has found). We only need to get to 65-70% for this to be over:

Allow me to interject...
PRCD constantly posts research that is not conclusive or peer reviewed and tries to sell them as facts.
Also, the right leaning sources he links most of the time, cloud his arguments significantly.
Thanks you.
You didn't grasp the post you were replying to. The comment was not about the merits of science versus common sense. Mine was a commentary on the debate tactics of people like you.So "common sense" and "practical experience" is now better than scientific facts.
Especially your common sense?

GD....you hit the nail on the head with you earlier post....as has JB previously....
Truth has a weird effect of people....first they ridicule....then they violently reject and oppose.....then it's accepted as self evident.
Unless it's their job....then they just follow a script....seeming engaging in a rational discussion from time to time but never acknowledging any opposing argument as correct nor admitting their's is BS.
Their games exposed for all to see.
Cheers.
Interesting discussion here.....especially just past the 1 hour mark....
I see it everyday....just a simple question like "What do you think about all this?" gets people talking.
I wish you would research these videos before you posted them. I chose one thing to fact check: HR 748 - CARES ACT, introduced January 2019. Sounds weird, right. A bill to deal with Covid-19 introduced to the house a year before the actual pandemic? A little research on congress.gov throws out that idea.
1) go to congress.gov
2) search HR748 (you will notice it was actually introduced in January 2019), click on that bill when the search returns
3) go to the drop-down box that says "There are 5 summaries for HR 748" You will notice it starts with "public law 3/25/20" Click that menu and click on "introduced in house" then read the summary of the bill. Here's what is says:
"
Introduced in House (01/24/2019)
Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019
This bill repeals the excise tax on employer-sponsored health care coverage for which there is an excess benefit (high-cost plans). The repeal applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019."
4) then go to the drop down and pick "passed house 7/17/19" and it says:
"Passed House (07/17/2019)
Middle Class Health Benefits Tax Repeal Act of 2019
(Sec. 2) This bill repeals the excise tax on employer-sponsored health care coverage for which there is an excess benefit (high-cost plans). The repeal applies to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2019. (Under current law, the tax is scheduled to take effect in 2022.)
(Sec. 3) This section exempts the budgetary effects of this bill from the Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) scorecards maintained under the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 2010 or by the Senate under the FY2018 congressional budget resolution."
5) then go to passed Senate 3/25/2020, at that point you get Covid stuff.
Lots of bills go through iterations, most go nowhere, which is exactly how our government was designed, to make it hard to pass law.

I guess you missed it when I posted that vid by Highimpactvlogs where he discussed this....the bill started out under a different name. Yeah...I cringed a bit when Richie mentioned it in the video above....any comments on anything else discussed in that one?
Sounds like the East Coast states will start trying to protect the elderly:
www.spotlightpa.org
In major reversal, Wolf administration says Pa. will begin widespread testing of nursing home residents, employees | Spotlight PA
In recent weeks, the state's top health official said this type of widespread testing was unrealistic, both because of a lack of supplies and the inaccuracy of tests.
How many lives would've been saved by doing this sooner? Half the deaths are in NY and NJ. Public Health officials seem very confused. For example, Dr. Levin of PA is confused about his sex. A fortiori, how can he figure out something more complicated?
No, because I stopped watching it. I have not watched every video you posted, nor read all of your posts.
Known coronaviruses are highly seasonal (hence cold and flu season):

Good for you bro...
Do you carry around a bag of sponges to sop up all the Kool-Aid leaking out of your orifices?
Could it be possible that humans are cyclical beings and we detox / get sick during this time of year?Known coronaviruses are highly seasonal (hence cold and flu season):
