Another non peer reviewed study. We’ve had way too many of those. With all sorts of conclusions.  So many unknown unknowns.

It’s a fast-moving pandemic, a crisis. What should we do with so many unknowns and so much information not yet confirmed — hide under a rock and cover our eyes and ears? We don’t know, so I’d rather be aware of the papers — even if not yet peer-reviewed. A lot of the pre-prints on the spread of Covid were helpful as they came out. It’s legitimate research, and MT disclosed the paper’s source and status.

 Did I say anything about covering my eyes?  Im not hiding under a rock and covering my ears. I said it was non-peer reviewed. I have said there’s a ton of reports out there which there are. And there’s a hell of a lot of unknowns which they’re also are. It doesn’t mean I’m hiding my head in the sand or anything else. Sorry next time I won’t suggest anything but yes sir you’re correct.

Boy, if you don't like that, I wonder what you think of tweets?  Who peer-reviews them?  They are mostly fire-and-forget.

I wasn't quoting the 6 groupings of (early-stage) symptoms as anything definitive and suggesting anyone base treatment regimes by this article. I actually would trust it more than the quote of a doctor in a CNN article, which I also referenced.   News articles are never peer-reviewed, and as we've seen, doctors may say things that aren't actually true, and reporters sometimes take things out of context.

My point was that this disease has many aspects.   It isn't just a cough and pneumonia.  There are reports from around the globe of different impacts on people.  The longest survivors are just 7 months past their infection.    A lot of this we haven't talked about here.   At least, I can't remember anyone here working through a study, or giving incidence figures, for coagulation issues.    I think it would be good to start paying attention to the longer term effects being reported.

But, some people have expressed opinions about the safety and importance of getting back to work or sending kids back to school.   Reputedly, kids are less likely to get the disease (vs have gotten the disease less) and some seem to think that's all that matters.

 Some think all sorts of stuff. I’ve been somebody who’s been talking about trying to find a way to get school open so that disadvantaged kids from poor homes  can have some way of getting an education during this pandemic. I’m not suggesting  school as normal I’m not suggesting necessarily that even teachers be physically there there. What I have said is that this is a time maybe to try to get creative. There are a whole lot of aspects to this disease - and one of it is going to be the damage it does to underprivileged kids educationally. 

And who on this board thinks this is “pneumonia or a cough”

As for the tweet comment I don’t even understand your point. But I’ll answer the question - I dislike them. Intensely. I avoid Twitter.

Finally, I wasn’t criticizing you for posting it.
