OT: Everything COVID19 - PART 7

[Stylizer1]

Not true

My local grocery store has 2 cashiers who don't wear a mask.

Hey, it took them 44 years to figure out cocaine in Coca-Cola.

How do you know if the doses of Vitamin D you are taking are safe?

I can't believe you trust a bunch of scientists.

Cocaine was legal back then and was used in medicine.

At least Canada is putting aside some money when the vaccine f***s you up
Canada to implement its first national vaccine injury compensation program

 

[NyQuil]

lots of medicines we take today contain opium. No real difference.

Not too many soft drinks though.

 

[Sens]

I’ll get the vaccine now since Canada will give me money if I get sick

They may have medical exemptions such as asthma.

 

[Sens]

To be honest the media is phrasing stuff to cause more havoc for ratings

York Region and Windsor-Essex being forced into lockdown, tougher restrictions for five other Ontario regions

The restrictions would effectively mean worshipers in those regions would be prevented from praying inside and would instead have to travel to another region or attend services virtually.

I am not religious, so take it with a grain of salt.

But I thought God was "everywhere" so why do you have to be in a building to worship Him?

They do but you would think getting covid would be far worse that an asthma attack.

Sense of rebuilding your faith amongst a congregated community I suppose. House of worship if you will.

I am not religious either but that would be my guess

Vitamin D Toxicity–A Clinical Perspective

I thought you didn't believe in science anyway?

How can you trust your own research?

Oh I get it, you pick and choose what you want to believe to support whatever behaviour you want to do anyway.

Makes sense.

Most vitamins/supplements are scams or lead to negative health outcomes because dosage is high and your body doesn't really ingest the vitamins as well. If your doctor recommends you take vitamin D then take it but otherwise taking it isn't recommended. A user's guide to cheating death on netflix ("A User's Guide to Cheating Death" Vitamins and Supplements (TV Episode 2018) - IMDb) has an interesting episode on it. The show is by this guy Timothy Caulfield | UAlberta Law

That's kind of an odd argument

Assume everyone gets covid. More people die of covid than people that die from the flu. The problem is that not everyone gets the flu. I haven't had the flu in my adult life, never had a flu shot either.

I get what you're trying to say....it's just an odd way of trying to make your point.

Like 5-7 million Canadians get the flu every year. Like a billion worldwhile. It's actually way more prevalent then you think. Good immune system I guess?

I think you're missing his point

 

[JD1]

Ok so i agree with your overall point, but you've never gotten the flu in your adult life? That's wild...

Nope. Not in my adult life.

The flu is actually a serious illness. People get down and out with a cold and say they have the flu.

No, 5 to 7 million people a year do not get the flu in Canada each year

the government keeps stats on lab confirmed cases of the flu. You can look them up.

Same here. Never had it. Don't get flu shots AND don't take any supplements. Last time I was sick with something was three years ago, it lasted less than two days.

Rarely is serology don’t for flu. Only in hospitalizations I think.

Flu can go from mild illness to very serious. If you had a fever, chills or aches and pains, it was likely a flu not a cold. Flu aslo has a sudden onset where as colds tend to build up.

I know the states use estimates because the vast majority of people who get the flu never have it lab confirmed. Down south they estimate 9 to 45 mil infections a year, they have about 10x our population so i wouldn't be surprised if canada was around 1 to 4.5, perhaps even a touch higher given our climate puts us at a disadvantage.

 

[foggyvisor]

If you haven't had the flu then you must be bubble boy. I call BS.

 

[JD1]

I don't know what to tell you boys. My wife and kids spend 6 months a year passing illness back and forth between them. I never skip a beat. The only supplements I take are beer and wings. I just don't get sick. I don't think it's that uncommon either.

Not being lab confirmed is my point. Couple days in bed with a cold and a few bowls of soup later, many say they had the flu, most had a cold

Idk how you can say that. Not being lab confirmed, how do you know what you thought was a cold wasn't the flu?

Most people i know associate the flu with syptoms that are not at all common to colds, so fever, sudden onset, chills and headachs whereas if its just a cough and runny nose, maybe a sore throat, its a likely cold.

Well, pretty sure I started by saying the flu is a serious illness. It puts a lot of people thru hell and back. I guess I've seen a lifetime of people off work for 2 days with the flu.
