Look I'm not saying you guys are idiots, but it's not very clear at times on the internet if people can follow data or logic or what.
For many many years I’ve been precariously pinning the ATM code or the code to the gate at home or pushing the elevator buttons using only my pointy finger middle knuckle, same knuckle if need push open a door(if it’s heavy use the palm heel), pinky finger use for pull open doors, has left me with a strong pointy finger middle knuckle as well palm heel and pinky finger and probably helped to keep me in fairly good health....I believe the real covidiots were around before Covid 19.roger hao wrote:Hi Everything -
Of course - just please stop with the covidiot BS. We are all in this together.
I bet I could audit a non-covidiot and come up with a list of violations that
would have brought on an infection.
A big one - which you seem to be obsessed with - masks.
I see them loosely worn -I see inferior masks - I see touching of the mask after use
and then wiping of the nose.
And I have to tell you - I am actually probably a bigger germ - o - phobe
than you. I only use KN95 mask. When I go to ATM - for example - I use only
thumb and fore finger - I disinfect those then I disinfect the money - then I dis-
infect the ATM card. I make a clean break after going in the grocery store.
Totally disinfecting the key fob - the door handle etc etc.
At first I wiped down all the packages but I stopped that. I can go on.
It is like MA - develop correct technique then speed it up and ingrain it.

Also when needed to open a glass door with the tube type handle -
I use - again - thumb and fore finger at the lowest point that is horizontal
where fewer people grab. Then I foot sweep to fully open.
And I never touch things in public toilet -
Use foot to flush
Use paper towel to open faucet and open door -then foot sweep to hold
while tossing paper towel to trash.
(https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... jobs-covid)The largest portion of the excess deaths occurred among people aged 75 to 84. That groups saw about 95,000 deaths, or 21.5% more than in a normal year. But the biggest relative increase, of 26.5%, was in people aged 25 to 44. Deaths among under-25s dropped slightly.

They are comparing the rates from the previous (5 I believe) years vs. the same period this year. It cannot be directly linked to COVID but gives another way to estimate what could be the related counts (Since there are under/over counting issues in the direct counts).(https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/ ... jobs-covid)The largest portion of the excess deaths occurred among people aged 75 to 84.

Considering everybody eventually dies what is the correct number
What is ‘excess mortality’?
Excess mortality is a term used in epidemiology and public health that refers to the number of deaths from all causes during a crisis above and beyond what we would have expected to see under ‘normal’ conditions.1 In this case, we’re interested in how deaths during the COVID-19 pandemic compare to the average number of deaths over the same period in previous years.
