You’re comletely ridiculous.
see, the thing to me with pointing out that healtcare availability helps with general health was in my early through mid 20s that the doctor finally diagnosed me for fibromyalgia but that was over several months and having to have a referral to the specialist while it was never minimized as a concern, the much more frequent topic of discussion prior to getting in to a cycle of trying fibromyalgia meds was diabetes
have a family history of diabetes with a father and grandfather who both let themselves go and because my family doctor in Montréal was also my severely overweight father's doctor he was very adamant about me keeping good health in all other respects to mitigate concern of diabetes as long as possible
so this comes back around to general health preservation and what can be interpreted as endangering your life

Our estimates suggest that, if the reporting rate is less than 50%, the adjusted CFR of COVID-19 in Canada is likely to be less than 2%. The CFR estimates for the US were higher than those for Canada, but the adjusted CFR still remained below 2%. Quantification of case reporting can provide a more accurate measure of the virulence and disease burden of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2.

just found the tweets more intersting that someone from the insurance industry would come around and say they cherry-picked anti-Canada data
given he is retired and now it does not hurt his financial income to tell people the truth of the matter so still a bit of a fuckwit
also thought that maybe he caught the Covid and the "regret for the rest of my life" comments were that he figured he is on his way out

Condo near me has an outbreak. Doctors think its high touch surfaces like door handles and elevator buttons, but I am thinking its AC or ventilation.
"On Thursday, Alberta’s top doctor said there’s a high chance the virus is spreading through areas commonly touched: places like elevator buttons, mailboxes or door handles.
It does seem that possibly high-touch surfaces are a mechanism,” Dr. Deena Hinshaw said. “This outbreak is a reminder that indoor areas pose unique risks of transmitting and this virus can spread easily from one person to many if given the opportunity.”

They had a minor outbreak of a couple people in a huge market and they shut it down.
In terms of coverups, what we’ve seen in this country is just as bad as what people accuse China of doing. Our president has flat out admitted that he told people to slow down testing to reduce the case count. How is that any different?
China has been upfront about it and takes it seriously af
It’s a big country and certain people said this and that but it started there and we had months to prepare and they’ve still done a much better job than we have

welp, after looking up fibromyalgia i'm suspicious if i have it now. <.< i've had frequent migraines since i've been 12 or so - they started off like 1-2 days a week and now they're almost 4-5 days a week, starting wit ha pain in the left shoulder usually, that radiates up to the left temple and upper back and increased sensitivity to light and sound, smell, etc. rarely it's the right side.
i also often get pain in the lower back and shoulders/neck in general, TMJ, and constant issues with diarrhea/constipation despite taking soluble fiber in my diet to try and address the issue, losing weight (lost 25 lb so far), and trying to eat healthier. the issues have been getting worse over the years too. i had a colonoscopy and biopsy tested, and tested negative for IBS, so that wasn't it, and there was no suspicious polyps or anything either, so my doctor was all . all i know is my migraines often come soon after i need to have a bowel movement, but the damn bowel movement doesn't want to come till 3 hours or so until after my headache starts, leaving me in an awkward stretch.
i also stutter my words a lot, but i don't have much difficulty remembering. problem with that is though, my memory is extremely good, nearly photographic. so now i'm wondering if i have it, and it WOULD be photograhic if i didn't. and i've always been a night owl, so tiredness during the daytime is kind of a hard thing to diagnose for me, lol.
is there an actual blood test or something for that, tantrika? (sorry for derail) i'm curious now, because the migraine medication i'm taking isn't really doing much of anything for my migraines, and i'm kind of going nuts trying to figure out why i can't get rid of the almost daily aches or figure out whats causing them. wondering if it 's something to bring up with my doctor or not.

Blood work was involved but moreso just to eliminate other possibilities it is a combination of other symptoms + the pain that they look for the main fibro "specific" confirmation is done via pressure points my first rhumatoligist basically went over pushing on all the points
 my second only bothered to say "I am guessing Dr. X back in Montréal already checked your pressure points when your first diagnosis was put on file" my third rhumatologist checked the upper body ones but did not bother with the legs due to me already using a cane for most prolonged travel to mitigate anxieties of collapsing due to leg pain
the first thing they put me on for it was Lyrica and that sent me into hallucinations even at lowest dose x-X now have a doctor in Manitoba that prescribes me cannabis for the pain treatment

ah. i think i remember my doctor pushing a few of those pressure points before, and they felt slightly tender, but uh... the problem is, i'm so used to, you know, KILLER MEGA PAIN from the migraines and neck pain, that any other pain is like, eh, whatever, to the point it barely registers.
like, i cut my finger? ow. bah. :gets a bandaid: smashes finger with hammer? OW. :shakes hand a several seconds, calms down, and after half a minute is basically like "whatever" and moves on:
so like, a minor push to a pressure point is sorta like, "ok, that's uh, maybe mildly uncomfortable? possibly? i'm not sure."
as another example, i had a septoplasmy done to fix my deviated septum on my nose, and they gave me pain meds for it. i didn't need them. i was like.... this is pain? L.O.L. took some tylenol and slept it off. was like a 4 at worst on the pain scale the first night, and that was mainly a headache from the pressure. was down to like a 2 the next, and a 1-2 the next few days. when the irritating plastic tubes came out, i was like "FREEEEEEEEE" and no more discomfort at all and i could breathe.
sadly though, though it fixed my constantly stuffy/runny sinuses, that wasn't the cause of my constant migraines.

Too much screen time, soda, poor sleeping habits, constant masterbation, and massive herb consumption. Coupled with a tendency for opiates. Stop theses habits and quit McDonald’s, over the counter meds... drink water. Also you’re dehydrated. Fibromyalgia is a common term to make people feel better about getting a diagnosis. Not real no cure. Stop masking the symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle.

It took me a minute to figure out what this reminded me of then realized it is as simple as bringing it back on topic to be reminded of the absurdity "Coronavirus is a common term to make people feel better about getting a diagnosis. Not real no cure. Stop masking the symptoms of an unhealthy lifestyle."
personally eat healthy, lots of focus on hemp, get 8 hours of rest in a typical sleep cycle these days, exercise 5 to 7 days per week eat McDonalds once every 2 months or so if that take no over the counter meds and drink an abundance of water as it is advised by both my endocrinologist and voice therapist no opiates, specifically avoided the doctor prescribing me those and demanded a referal to a cannabis doctor and infrequent masturbation at best, particularly since HRT medications have stopped unwelcome random erections so the dick is no distraction
still have the fibromyalgia but it was originally diagnosed as rhumatoid arthritis before my 20s and before ever trying cannabis, let alone finding out it alleviates the physical pain

.... i don't drink soda. i take topamax, which literally makes soda and any carbonated drinks taste like shit. i've not touched a soda since early February. i get 8-10 hours sleep every night, because i value sleep, unlike most people. i do not do weed at all, nor smoke, nor drink alcohol. and lol at constant masterbation like it's a bad thing - sex is part of any healthy lifestyle, and trying to oppress it leads to unhealthy issues. just look at america and its unhealthy obsessions with oppressing sexuality.
the only drugs i've ever done is psychedelics, and i haven't tripped for a year, either. also? i only eat out about once a month, because i'm too poor for McDonalds. In fact, i just completed a 5 and a half day water fast, because i'm doing occasional fasting as part of my weight loss... because i'm pretty much too poor to afford healthy food otherwise. this way i can buy healthy food on the days i do eat, and fast on the days i dont.
and i drink quite a lot of water, thank you. several glasses full, in fact. but thanks for making a lot of assumptions about my daily habits that are flat out wrong. =P

The masks likely help somewhat to protect the wearer, but that is not their main purpose

There is different masks for different situation's. Some filter the air you breath in. These are made for contamined environment, like p95.they dont filter the air you breath out.Then there is masks ment to be used in sterile environment like surgeon masks, these filter the air you breath out too but after 20 min should be changed or filtering is not optimal because Humidity. Plain cotton cloth does not do much in either way.

cotton masks aren't for filtering air, they're for blocking moisture you breathe out, and thus the viruses that ride along with the moisture in your breath, thus preventing the spread if you're hot.
that's the entire purpose of wearing masks, even a cotton one, in public, to lower the spread of the virus. not to protect yourself, but to protect others from you. anything else is pure bonus.
