this isn’t why they say the second wave may be worse. It’s because, having exhausted so much during the first wave, we may be even more ill equipped to withstand another one. :francis:

Peak Prosperity was discussing some reports about 4 - 6 weeks ago that suggested that the cytokine storm could be worse on a reinfection.

Just did a quick search:

ts = 18m30s . mentions Spanish Flu defines the storm



and ts = 21m discusses reinfection



add some salt ...

It's speculative. He's also referencing a century old pandemic, one that occurred well before the strides we've made in the treatment of these kinds of flus. If the coronavirus hit us in 1918, you'd see a much higher death toll than the one we have now. The real concern, imo, is preparedness and not being blindsided. The only reason this is such a crisis is because Trump left us wth our pants down, shuttering agencies and discarding protocol specifically created by Obama to stave off a pandemic of this nature.

45,105 ppl are dead.

U can’t downplay that.

:what:

Ppl like you act like this is no big deal are in serious DENIAL about this virus.

Never said anything like that.

It is a big deal

But we are slowly learning that it is a manageable one and that warrants optimism, not panic.

During the winter, people spend more time indoors with the windows sealed, so they are more likely to breathe the same air as someone who has the flu and thus contract the virus


I don’t get that. The more time u spend outside your house around other people The more chance u have to catch it rather then if you’re inside your house away from other people.

If u live with other people and somebody in your house catches it(from going outside) then I guess in the winter u have a better chance of getting it from a family member but if you’re married chances are you’re probably both getting it anyway if one person gets it regardless the time Of year

I said "suggested..could" as in "he suggested .. could". Not "shows", "proves" or "demonstrates". "Suggested ... could" is not saying that anything is true or proven.

The 2nd video (which you didn't watch) isn't about the Spanish Flu.

I thought I was exposing this information to scientists. I the scientist will examine the information for myself (again). Not "swallow", not "imbibe" but "examine".

I even added to the bottom "add some salt"

Colloquial suggesting to "interpret critically".

Not these ... again...

What "panic" ?

Stop thinking that the rest of the world "taking action" is "panic".

Scientist says "wear condoms to help prevent HIV transmission". Non-scientist calls it "panic". :ufdup:Nope that's how science works.

Doctor says "Mr. Smith you have to stop smoking now". Non-doctor calls it panic. :ufdup:Nope that's how science works.

Psychiatrists "sections an individual as they are a potential risk to themselves". Non-Psychiatrists calls it panic. :ufdup:Nope that's how science works.

Epidemiologist says "This looks very very dangerous. it's killing thousands. Let's reduce social contact until we discover more.". He then discovers more. Non-epidemiologist calls it panic. :ufdup:Nope that's how science works.

As a scientist you follow the data using risk weighted choices. If the data is proven to have changed then you change with it.

When you don't understand the scientific process you throw emotional words around based on the flawed assumption that the rest of the world is operating in the same low-logic, high-emotion manner.
