Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
Sure have. Look at the date of that video - April 27.Yo! I know its been speculated that this could be the case.
But she lays it out here clear as damn day!
What are we supposed to make of this? Have any of you seen this before?

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
A 42 second Youtube video uploaded by "Thrivetime Show: Business School without the BS". I click on the link and their website is hawking a book called "Fear Unmasked: Discover the Truth About the Coronavirus Shutdown".
You can put the title of the Youtube video in a google search engine and find a few news sites giving more context to the actual process. This video is clearly clipped and possibly edited to strip the context from what she was saying.
Here's one:
With this direct quote:
“There are also some additional deaths that happen in someone who happened to be COVID positive, but where the COVID infection had nothing to do with the deaths,” she said. “So we are at IDPH trying to remove those obvious cases where the COVID diagnosis was not the reason for the death. If there was a gunshot wound, if there was a motor vehicle accident, we know that that was not related to the COVID positive status.
“We are trying to make sure that things that aren’t related at all to the COVID diagnosis are removed, but if someone has another illness, like heart disease, and then had a stroke or other event, it’s not as easy to separate that and say COVID didn’t exacerbate that existing illness. That would not be removed from the count,” she added.
Guys, c'mon. This wasn't exactly a difficult one. Use Youtube for old music videos and SNL sketches. Not for information.NFL - Vikings

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
there may or may not be mislabled corona deaths, I dunno and dont care enough to look into it. who am I, Woodward and Bernstein? I do know not everyone is calling all deaths of patients w/corona a corona related deaths because around here they're still saying former Auburn University football coach Pat Dye died of kidney and liver failure

Is this clipped or edited?
Okay, so the article in ds's post is from a month later? So it sounds like she walked back some of what she said in that Apr 20 presser. That's fair, and I hadn't seen a follow-up on it before.

That's an important quote, and it stands in contrast to what she said on April 20.Last edited by bcruise; 07-11-2020, 11:39 AM.Comment

Press conferences aren't typically 63 seconds so by definition it has to be clipped.
Snark aside, What I gather from what she is saying is it's a process.
If someone has chronic heart disease but with medication has a life expectancy of 10 more years then they get COVID and die this year, they're coding that as a COVID fatality for now. If folks believe that's some grand miscarriage of justice then I don't know what to say. If folks believe that means these numbers are overinflated and everything is actually fine, I also don't know what to tell them. Personally, I find the callousness with which some folks treat ppl with a pre-existing conditions as some walking COVID corpse more than offputting but I'm never gonna change their minds.

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
That is the leading health official in Illinois speaking during a press conference. Her words. There was no slant despite the source of the video lol
For context...a reporter asked the governor of Illinois about a teenager dying in the county, if it was the first teenager, and if the teenager had underlying conditions. The governor just passed the mic to her to address the question...
Then that 42 second clip is her answer and she walked away right after
So it's edited. Yes. But nothing was taken out of context to make it look a certain way.
And just know that I've been on team "Coronavirus is real" and a staunch pro mask advocate this entire time [emoji23]
I'm not saying there's this huge conspiracy and not to believe anything anymore. Just presented a credible video and wanted to hear thoughts on itComment

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
I get that to a degree, but I think it's a product of one side pushing hard that EVERYONE was at high risk from the get go and not wanting to cede any ground, and another side pushing back equally against that as more information comes out, and the first side getting offended and annoyed at the response as if it's an insult to their personal beliefs. Both sides dig their heels in and it turns partisan.Comment

Meh.
One side was maybe, maaaaaaaaybe, being overly cautious in the name of public health. The other side was willing to write your death off as a cost of doing business if you're on blood pressure medication. To me, this is a bad faith use of "both sideism".
But as I said earlier, people's minds aren't being changed on the pre-existing conditions thing. It is what it is.NFL - Vikings

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
It's beyond being overly cautious when your identity becomes about fear and muddying the waters when it comes to the mortality risk of a virus to an entire population to fit with your emotions.
Every day people react to new information on who is most at risk, and which demo has a higher mortality rate than others, with, "who cares? You are costing lives by minimizing the risk! Now less people will be scared and more will die! **** you." Nate Silver gets this response over and over. If you bring up the average age of death from Covid then it means you don't care about the elderly. Etc.Comment

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
I thought the overwhelming message about this from the beginning was that this is very dangerous for the eldery and people with underlying conditions and for everyone else you get the flu, or a bad cold, for a couple weeks and then get better. I don't remember at the beginning the message being everyone is high risk of dying.
So as things progressed, when stuff came out that pointed to it being more dangerous than that for everyone, it becomes big news. Some of that stuff turned out to be false, some of it seems true, some seems to be true at times but overall very rare, some we still don't know.Originally posted by Jay BilasThe question isn't whether UConn belongs with the elites, but over the last 20 years, whether the rest of the college basketball elite belongs with UConnComment

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
This is pretty spot on, but iirc this was being conveyed in real time and was just written off by many as 'the media muddying the waters' as models adjusted as far down as 60k (reflecting longer term stay at home orders, like until July or August).I thought the overwhelming message about this from the beginning was that this is very dangerous for the eldery and people with underlying conditions and for everyone else you get the flu, or a bad cold, for a couple weeks and then get better.

The entire situation begins and ends in politics. It's why we're where we are at, on every front, unfortunately... so every aspect of it then becomes political even when it shouldn't (masks, schools). Even a global pandemic isn't enough to bridge that divide.Comment

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
in one aspect it went from let's flatten the curve to ease hospital workload to let's stay shutdown till a vaccine is available. a vaccine that may or may not ever exist. in another it went from masks won't help to they will help (from the same man, mind you), and eventually in some places, mandatory masks. which leads me to a head scratcher: the Atlanta mayor cant understand how she could have possibly gotten corona when she's been wearing a mask all along. guess she was too busy to listen why and how the masks help. idiot.I thought the overwhelming message about this from the beginning was that this is very dangerous for the eldery and people with underlying conditions and for everyone else you get the flu, or a bad cold, for a couple weeks and then get better.

the only consistency the last 4 months is the inconsistency and the constant moving of the goalposts. our actions, reaction and inaction did more harm than corona itself. we are actually lucky this thing isn't more deadly and contagious as it could be. hopefully some of our dear leaders have learned a valuable lesson so that whenever the sequel to corona (supercorona) is unleashed , the opposite of the last 4 months will be the gameplan.OSFM23 - Building Better Baseball - OSFM23

Re: CDC Officials Warn of Coronavirus Outbreaks in the United States.
People arguing we should be locked down until a vaccine is such a small segment of the population it’s not even worth mentioning. Almost nobody is saying that.
The inconsistency about masks was a mistake no doubt. But it’s pretty clear now they help at least a little and maybe a lot, and they are a simple thing to do. So people saying “well back in March you said masks don’t help so I’m not going to wear one” is a bull**** excuse
