Skeeter- it’s not 165k… it’s 165… full stop. The difference is 399,835, not 225k
X= TIMES…So if reading it aloud I meant 225 times the amount
BUT I was doing this on the fly this afternoon and I actually made a mistake with zeros…It is way worse than that. It is over 2250 TIMES the amount of last year!!! (Actually around 2400 XX TIMES THE AMOUNT!) Get that through your head people (305)…225 would have been outrageous right? 2250 times
Who would have thunk it Skeeter. All we needed for the past millennium to fight flu was a face covering.
But not COVID. Even 3 of those and a vaccine with boosters doesn’t do much. Oh well 
305 is not a stupid man by any means…80 and 51 and willyburz just are, they were born that way…then when you add in 80’s emotional probs…you can’t talk to those people.
But 305 is going out of his way to be obtuse and it’s frustrating. When you refuse to believe anything that is not what is reported in the media, not even with any question ever…That makes YOU the conspiracy theorist.
Yep. Couldn’t agree more.
Intelligent…that would mean you could think for yourself…:you can’t…and now you try and act like a tough guy…all you are is a little bitch.
Intelligent…that would mean you could think for yourself…:you can’t…and now you try and act like a tough guy…all you are is a little bitch.
Ya you are just a beacon of original, unbiased thought.
Wait you said emotional…you have had a period for months you little bitch. Stop acting tough…
Show one thing that you came up with yourself…zero thoughts for yourself. You follow what someone else says and then go after someone personally. So sad…actually quite pathetic.
No, Dr. Drew correctly cited hospitalizations. The mistake was on your end.
We looked at flu CASES before in this forum, and one of you guys also did the math wrong there. I corrected it for y’all then but you didn’t want to listen.
This is hospitalizations, which is way different, because if you’re not serious YOU’RE NOT GETTING ADMITTED TO THE HOSPITAL. Not during a pandemic. Not while the ICU’s were over busy. It’s just not happening.
Combined with the HIGHEST VACCINED YEAR ON RECORD, and masks, and distancing, and lockdowns - NO, it’s not crazy to think flu cases and flu hospitalizations are way way down.
That said, it always takes a whole year for the CDC to release the full flu numbers. 2020 estimates are not even out yet (to my knowledge). So the numbers will likely end up higher than we’re seeing, which is part of the process.
Lol…The point is I question it…As you should be. You eat up what your little media tells you, and then throw tantrums because what others are questioning go against the little political narratives that your CNN headlines have you a slave to… You don’t check a number, you wouldn’t know how to check these numbers or interpret them if you did.
Plus dude said…“I know 7 coaches”
He literally starts out every convo with how many coaches he knows
“I know 7 coaches who say this kid is overrated”- ok cool, legit info
BUT…
“I know 7 coaches who took a shit today”
“I know 7 coaches who believe in climate change”
“I know 7 coaches who recommend honda over toyota”
“I know 7 coaches say that they dealt with racism”
“I know 7 coaches who prefer liquor to beer”
I know 7 coaches who say Lebron over Jordan"
Nobody gives a hit about your little jock-sniffing connections.
Here’s more:
The Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Network (FluSurv-NET) conducts population-based surveillance for laboratory-confirmed influenza-related hospitalizations in select counties in the Emerging Infections Program (EIP) states and Influenza Hospitalization Surveillance Project (IHSP) states.
A total of 165 laboratory-confirmed…
Weekly U.S. Influenza Surveillance Report | CDC
So this 165 number is NOT a total out of the whole US or anything like it… it is the number of confirmed tests from a collection of sample hospitals.
Which kinda destroys everything you’ve said so far, doesn’t it?
No you are so far off here you couldn’t be moreso doing so intentionally… Way down? OK sure…maybe…mathematically possible.
Everything you are saying cannot make up for the gap of this magnitude…It really can’t make up a gap anywhere CLOSE TO THIS MAGNITUDE. Are you really trying to tell me that 400k cases were serious enough last year…But only 165 are this year? Just fucking stop man you are embarrassing yourself…Why can’t you admit THAT THEY MAY BE LUMPING THEM TOGETHER. What allegiance do you owe these fucking people
What is more far fetched…
2025 XX more less fucking flu…Or diagnosing flu as covid (When there are so many other gains to make from this politically???)…Who is the conspiracy theorist here? It is alarming you are going out of your way to be this stupid. You are totally lost here and going out of your way to die on a cross you don’t have to. Even if you question our theories, even if you say flu is way down…CAN YOU AT LEAST ADMIT IT IS POSSIBLE? Why do you assume it isn’t happening?
And you tried correcting people by simply saying the data was bad…But we can’t verify the date because (unless they changed back recently) the CDC changed it all to covid-like-illness.
Check the post I made seconds before yours.
Doesn’t destroy what I’ve said…Take it up with Dr. Drew…And also it kinda means you were wrong and a fucking fool for trying to defend the “it could be real” arguement? Look at the lengths you went to defend 400k vs. 165
And you have a long, long, long, long, long way to go…Between 165 and any number that even makes one iota of sense. you better get up to at least 50k…Or hell I’ll give in to you 20k
All I’m asking you to do is admit it is possible 305.
When an entire powerful group of people is gaining from this significant of an unprecedented statistical anomaly…CAN YOU AT LEAST ADMIT THAT THEY HAVE A LOT TO GAIN FROM THIS.
Stop going out of your way to be blind…you are making a fool of yourself.
Also, Drew is saying we had 400k last season. Not only do I not know where this number came from, but at the very least, you guys are comparing a FULL SEASON to a PARTIAL SEASON.
This is literally what the phrase “comparing apples to oranges” means.
Admit it’s possible? Anything’s possible. I generally choose to go by the evidence though.
Nah…no dice here either 305. Stop with your little desperation hail marys.
We are deep into flu season.
No dice my ass.
One little thing’s off here, another little thing’s off here.
All these little discrepancies start to add up. It was the same thing with your flu cases tweet a couple months ago. I brought up the site where the data was sourced, linked it, and PROVED that their numbers were wrong. They were comparing months to a year of data.
This stuff matters.
you should follow your own advice…
Let’s say we end up with 1/20th of the flu…And all this covid. If you are unable to admit that there could be diagnosis issues (even on an innocent level)…Then you are going out of your way to have a dog in this fight.
THIS…stuff matters.
You have some serious, serious, serous catching up to do
Covid flies…
Flu disappears
Apparently no one ever washed their hands before…
Do you realize how fucking desperate you sound?
Diagnosis issues are rare when actual tests are involved.
Here’s more data:
2020-2021 flu hospitalizations (based on FluSurv) - 155 in 4 months
2019-2020 flu hospitalizations (based on FluSurv) - 19,700 in 6 months
Flu Season Numbers for 2020/21 | Health Hive
This is the first number Dr. Drew is using (more or less), and this is the comparison number he SHOULD be using. If we adjust for the missing 2 months, we’re looking at under 100x the amount of flu hospitalizations compared to last season.
You’ll note that this is nowhere near the bogus 2000+ whatever number you’re using.
And here:
Flu cases hit record low in 2020 amid COVID, CDC says. Here's why.
Comparing cases (a different number) in the last 3 months of 2019 versus the same period in 2020, it’s 65k cases compared to 1k. So this shows a 65x rate.
You’ll note this is also nowhere near the bogus 2000+ whatever number you’re using.
And you’re calling me desperate?
