Stupid shit in Medellin

[Zeos1]

Why?

It isn't the AIDS virus. And "positive" doesn't guarantee that you have the virus. And I believe I wrote "if they are willing to risk it" so that means fully informing them.

I feel your reply was a bit of an overreaction.

If you test positive it is almost certain you have it. There are lots of false negatives with antigen testing, but not a lot of false positives.

And it should not be up to them "if they are willing to risk it". It seems simple to me. If I test positive I probably have covid, if it was by an antigen test I am almost certainly contagious. No matter how I feel. And just be a good person who says. I don't want to take a chance on infecting anyone else even if they agree to it. It's only a few days in ones life. You don't have to knowingly put someone at risk, even if the risk is small.

Of course all of this is just theoretical. I'm not saying you are that person.

[Villainy]

I saw Paulie smugly quoted this and the truth is I should put both of you douches on ignore. You are too stupid to get what I was talking about so I will explain it once. As Mr. E posted today, "75% of vaccinated people who died of COVID-19 had at least four comorbidities."

You said before you put me on ignore. Please, don't lie this time. Just do it! I just feel compelled to point out some of the rancid bull dung you are passing out. I know you aren't bright enough to come up with it on your own so a quick search and I see you are just rehashing the same trash that is on your favorite podcasts or blogs. None of which is supported by serious analysis or any expert groups (other than an occassional renegade pseudo-scientist).

Right now, there are more + Covid cases than ever before.

I assume that even Elvis the Diarrhea Analyst doesn't mean "cumulative cases" but that you are talking about "daily new cases".

So which is it Elvis? One day you talk about all the new cases are Omnicron and it is highly contagious but not highly threatening, so the pandemic is over. But now your new theory is that there are all these cases because the vaccine is ineffective.

Isn't this a new variant? Didn't the vaccine stop the primary CoVid virus and the Delta variant that followed??

If someone gets in a car wreck and his head is cut off and he tested + for Covid, that counts as a Covid death, so there is going to be an explosion of deaths now.

Absolute bovine feces. Just not true. First of all you over stated your example. If an accident victim is decapitated, I don't think the medical examiner is going to explore the cause of death. I think he (or she) knows that a decapitation is fatal. Do you seriously think he (or she) is going to run CoVid tests? Maybe look for poison? What about evidence of a seizure? Without a reason to search further, that body is going down as a car accident / decapitation and it's on to the next case. This is never branded as a CoVid death. This "classification issue" has been raised in several of your podcasts / blogs and has been debunked and debunked again. So, why don't you spend a few minutes researching instead of rebranding the latest crap as new insight.

The CDC is trying to back off that number because it is going to explode and it directly conflicts with what Dr. Malone said about there being zero omicron deaths. Of course, you douches only watch CNN and MSNBC but 10 million people watch Joe Rogan's podcast and Dr. Malone was one of his most popular guests, and the informed people unlike you are seeing how full of shit the CDC really is.

I'm sure you are very impressed with Dr. Malone. He was on the cutting edge of medical exploration 31 years ago. If he were still so knowledgeable, why didn't any of the pharmaceutical companies bring him in to help develop the vaccines? You know why? Because you don't pull Wilbur and Orville out of the grave to help design the newest Boeing Stratacruiser.

Sorry, douche, but you do not what the fuck you are talking about. Do you know how many pure Covid deaths there were in Italy when the Italians took out co-morbidities? "2. 9% presented with no comorbidities and 97.1% had one or more condition listed aside from COVID-19, such as ischemic heart disease, heart failure, type-2 diabetes, obesity or autoimmune disease (see Table 1 here)."

BFD. The total obesity rate in the US is 36.2%. And just to help you understand numbers (something you are woefully unable to do on your own) 20% of the US population under the age of 19 is obese. That means that among adults the obesity rate is even higher than 36%. Actually I did the math, since you are never going to be able to do simple algebra on your own. The US population has a 42.7% obesity rate if you eliminate the 0-19 year olds.

That is just one co-morbidity. Of course people with no co-morbidities do better. Duh? My point is that the adult population is rife with co-morbidities. You can't simply ignore that fact.

So you are being an arrogant douche in thinking that the 80,000 number has been exceeded. Tell me douche, how do you determine a heart attack, stroke, or pulmonary embolism was due to Covid or not?
If you are the CDC, you say, "Ah fuck it, we will say they are all due to Covid." and a douche like you says "Sounds smart to me."

I say that the CDC and other medical institutions are a hell of a lot more knowledgeable than you or your podcast heroes and they have collectively 100's of years of experience. Tell me again about your credentials??

MA or PhD in Epidemiology? Virology? Or Immunology? Should I believe them or you?? Seems like an easy choice to me.

[PedroMorales]

At least someone in the USA is thinking with some sense.

"News Alert: Supreme Court blocks nationwide vaccine and testing mandate for large businesses.

The Supreme Court blocked President Joe Biden's vaccine or testing requirement aimed at large businesses, but it allowed a vaccine mandate for certain health care workers to go into effect nationwide..

Fuck all this shit. How come folk have been eating bread for thousands of years and all of a sudden soy boys are allergic to everything under the sun? I eat probably the healthiest diet of anyone here. I abhor all that processed shit; thinking of it fills me with dread. Kids are supposed to get dirty, play in mud etc. American shit: tablet for this, a jab for that, like chickens in a chicken factory.

Have you every tasted a real chicken or a real pig? When we live like factory hens, we have to get sick like factory hens.

Pedro the Rooster.

I personally couldn't do it. As soon as I began to suspect what was dragging me down was Covid, I checked out of my apartment a day early, cancelled a date with a non-pro, got in my rental car and drove from Medellin to Bogota, to avoid being around anyone. After I turned in my rental car, I headed to get tested. Once I received the positive results, I started informing everyone, the hotel, the people I'd spent time with in Medellin, the airline and my employer.

When one girl reported symptoms, I warned her to get tested and isolate, especially to stay away from her mother and grandmother. Fortunately, it stopped with her and her symptoms were mild.

If you're quarantining and isolating, it defeats the purpose of quarantining and isolating if you're having girls come to visit.

Thanks but, again, I don't mean "feeling sick and then testing positive". I mean feeling fine, testing positive, being stuck in Medellin then what?

To further clear it up I didn't mean purposely infecting anyone. Personally, if I'm chatting with a lady while stuck in Medellin and she (likely) offered to keep me company I'd tell her straight away that I tested positive but I feel fine. I'd make sure she was cool with that risk BUT if she hesitated at all or if I started being symptomatic I'd drop the issue.

But all of that is probably moot anyway since all it takes is for one front desk person to drop a dime about a positive gringo inviting chicas to his room then you'd be in a world of shit, probably.

So I guess just Netflix and waiting it out.

[Lou32]

If you have tested positive and are still want to have visitors during your quarantine you should be happy to spend a few years in a colombian jail.

Why?

It isn't the AIDS virus. And "positive" doesn't guarantee that you have the virus. And I believe I wrote "if they are willing to risk it" so that means fully informing them.

I feel your reply was a bit of an overreaction.

Yeah, it is been a really, really bad day for Biden. His mandate was kicked to the curb.

His attempt to end the filibuster was thrown out:

And now there are 105 ships off the California coast and China is shutting down a port:

Those ships contain between 1 million and 1.5 million containers. Even if no new ships came in, I wonder how long it would take to load them. And this keeps getting worse and worse.

https://www.zerohedge.com/economics/...cks-down-ports

And producer prices rise 9. 7% for 2021, the Most in Series History.

https://mishtalk.com/economics/produ...series-history

I am not sure if there have been any supply chain issues in Colombia yet. I looked at the shipyard in Cartagena and I was told if they are stacking containers more than 2 at a time, that is congestion. They were 4 and 5 high.

I also wonder with the weakening dollar how much inflation Colombia is going to have.

The gang's all here. All it takes is one or two swift kicks to behave and the Elviras, Pedros, Shoo Swedes, Marquis de Twats, and others who dream of Medellin come a running. LOL.

Can you explain why Iran was hit do badly by Covid, Iran having a youngish population? Can you point us towards any peer reviewed articles explaining why Iran is an outlier on one side and Africa on the other?

Guess who will be bonking in Eastern Europe soon? None other than my unvaccinated self.

Exponential applies when a series goes rapidly upwards. It has nothing to do with this covid experience of a series of waves.

Yes they did. Almost everyone on the pro-vax side has said that.

Thats pure conjecture as has zero evidence to support it happening.

People in Africa don't live to 80 years old, propped up by stients, triple heart by passes, diabetes and cancer treatments. They are already dead. The living population is much younger and free from potential comorbidities (apart from poor diet). It is also a more rural lifestyle (less dense populations). COVID will never rip thru Africa as it did in the wealthy, old and frail countries in the West.

Glad to see you're still working hard to be completely wrong about almost everything. Such dedication is admirable, not as admirable as dedication to not being an idiot, but at least you've committed to it.

Exponential doesn't strictly apply when a series goes rapidly upward. If the rate of growth is unchanging, exponential doesn't apply. Exponential applies when the rate of change continues to change, like with a wave. Like with a wave of Covid.

Nobody on the pro-vax side (good to see you've again contradicted your "I'm not anti-vax" claim by pointing out you're anti-vax) said the vaccine was the single, final solution to the pandemic. On the stupidity scale, you're overachieving here. Each of the steps taken (if you weren't such a complete useless fool, you would remember this) are part of "flattening the curve. " The shutdowns, the social distancing, the masks, the testing and the vaccinations, combined with time, when properly carried out, slow down the spread, reduce the number of new variants. Eventually, that brings the pandemic to an end. The "pro-vax" side realizes, mostly through the efforts of dishonest pigs like you, that just having a vaccine, or putting on a mask, doesn't end the pandemic.

Actually there is plenty of evidence to support it happening, recent history provides plenty of evidence. For example, in just the last month Colombia has gone from under 2,000 new cases per day to over 25,000, a fine example of exponential growth.

Life expectancy in Africa runs from a low of 54 to over 77 years. While the average African doesn't live over 80 (which is only the case in 39 countries), there are people in Africa who live past 80.

It gets better. India, Nigeria and the DR of Congo are home to 90% of the people with sickle cell disease (comorbidity). All of Africa has a higher prevalence of Chronic Kidney Disease (comorbidity) than the global average. Chronic Lung Disease (comorbidity) is especially concerning in developing countries, like most of the countries in Africa. Chronic Liver Disease (comorbidity), African countries rank very high on the list, and hold the top 3 spots. At least a few African countries, particularly the most populous one, Nigeria has a higher rate of diabetes (comorbidity) than the US. HIV (comorbidity) rates are higher in Africa than anywhere else in the world. Heart Disease (comorbidity) most of Africa has a much higher prevalence than the US. Tuberculosis (comorbidity) Africa wins again. Even the dreaded western affliction, Obesity (comorbidity) affects over 20% of the population in Algeria, Nigeria and Egypt, Morocco, Tunisia and South Africa.

Completely as expected your "free of comorbidities" remark is complete bullshit. By the way, what is the vegan position on using animal products, such as bullshit?

One last item on the JustTK's "Let me show you how fucking stupid I am" list, population density.

Population density of Africa is 50% higher than North America. Africa has the highest population growth of any continent in the world and is expected to account for half of all births between 2020 and 2050.

Not done yet. Population density is only one factor. Take Taiwan, high population density (673 per km²), less than 0. 08% of the population has had Covid. On the other hand, Colombia, a low population density country (46 per km²) has had over 10% of the population infected. To put it another way, Taiwan, population 25 million has had fewer than 20,000 Covid cases. Colombia, population 50 million has had 5. 4 million Covid cases.

Access to healthcare is another factor. How does most of Africa rank on healthcare access compared to those big, bad western countries?

It's unlikely we'll ever know how hard most of Africa has been or will be hit by Covid. Lack of testing capacity along with a general, widespread ignorance (epitomized by your remarks) makes tracking cases and deaths extremely difficult.

I realize you have to constantly work on your "brand" as an incredibly uninformed, lying idiot, but perhaps you could scale back your advertising campaign.

Do you have any idea why she did that? Of course not, you are a douche and only exist to suck government dick and not think.

Thanks for the info and sorry you felt sick but I was wondering about if you feel fine and are just stuck.

Specifically if you can still call girls in and they are willing to risk it. If one were actually symptomatic then no girls but if the hotel or security desk found out you were positive and seeing people.

It also tore through Iran and I have seen no in depth analysis as to why that happened. (Omicron was a damp squib).
