My doctor is wrong on like 50% of the shit he tells me and wrong on his prescriptions a bunch. Why would I take his advice on a flu shot? If they want me to be doing elective shit they have to have better than witch doctor success rates on real shit.

yea, the flu shot are highly ineffective. if i remember correctly, they average at around 30-40% effectiveness and are nearly worthless late in the season.

though, speaking on china, only 2% of its population gets the flu shot and yet somehow, they have some of the lowest rates of infection, let alone deaths in the entire world. the point is, centralized governments get shit done and to always trust their methodology in controlling and reporting data. also shark fin soup

https://www.caixinglobal.com/2019-02-21/why-arent-people-in-china-dying-of-the-flu-101382286.html (google the title to bypass the paywall)

no one died of the flu komrade, just a minor uptick in kulaks getting their due  :cop

I basically use my doctor as a sentient prescription pad now. You have to be very clear and give them direct instructions on what’s on your shopping list. I don’t know what the american health care system does to them but you really can’t let them direct themselves anymore. Maybe standards are just that low.

i used nih/cdc as my source:

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16494711?dopt=Abstract
https://wwwnc.cdc.gov/eid/article/12/1/05-0979_article

This makes no sense, probably a typo. The article itself states that about 500 million people were infected and that about 50 million to 100 hundred million died. Basic math says that's a case fatality rate of 10-20%. 2,5% might be the global risk for any person living at that time on earth.

See this blog article

https://rybicki.blog/2018/04/11/1918-influenza-pandemic-case-fatality-rate/

So yeah, the coronoavirus as of today has a case fatality of 2,1%, a factor of 5 to 10 lower than the spanish flu.

Just a little bit more information people might be interested in.

Quote
While estimates of case-fatality (CF) rates for past influenza pandemics have ranged from about 0.1% (1957 and 1968 pandemics) to 20% (1918 pandemic); the official World Health Organization estimate for the current outbreak of H5N1 avian influenza to date is around 60%. While the real H5N1 CF rate (what it would be if we had perfect knowledge) could be lower (one study suggests that the real H5N1 CF rate is closer to 14–33%);

I fucking hate my government:

Quote
.  U.S. ride-hailing application Uber Technologies Inc. said on Saturday that it suspended 240 accounts of users in Mexico who may recently have come in contact with someone possibly infected with the new coronavirus.

A day later the government actually confirmed that it was indeed a confirmed infected (that is now in Los Angeles, where he was diagnosed).

Quote
Mexican state news agency Notimex reported on Saturday that 18 of the 52 Mexican students who are studying in China had returned. Notimex did not specify whether the students are in quarantine.

They were not.

Ok hitler, from what I’ve seen a lot of people are infected they’re saying a week ago it was about 100k so I don’t see the death toll being low at all.

the same shot is issued, the only thing to be concerned about is if the injector in charge doesn't follow basic sterilization and hygiene protocols or where to stab, which would be a per-branch problem
