Apparently covid can be prevented with vitamin D and zinc.
It doesn't "prevent" it, but it does seem to be linked with more favorable outcomes. This doesn't need to be a binary decision between vaccine and diet.

Well yes. Can’t drink with a mask on, and I don’t wear masks outside. I’d wear one whilst walking to a table or whilst getting to my seat etcWithout a mask presumably.
Vitman D and zinc are just good to consume in general.It doesn't "prevent" it, but it does seem to be linked with more favorable outcomes. This doesn't need to be a binary decision between vaccine and diet.
Do you have a point?There was a nurse on the news this morning, video call so her face and name clear for everyone to see, who said in her hospital the ratio is 50/50 of un/vaccinated patients in icu
Not wrong but the average person really sucks at understanding data and differentiating good data from flawed data. Therefore, anyone can throw a pile of shit data out there and half the world now thinks it’s a fact.Stats are no use to anyone without the source or the background data.
For example, your stat could encompass 2 people. One 21 year old, unvaccinated and one 97 year old vaccinated. And this, IMO, is why the covid problem has rumbled on for 2 years. No one in charge of the data knows what to do with the data.
If 90% are vaccinated, that shows the vaccine is having a huge impact unless you are simple and can’t compute basic statsDo you have a point?
So half are from the 80% of the population that's vaccinated and the other half from the 20% that's unvaccinated. So unvaccinated are 4 times more likely to end up in the hospital. Good to know.There was a nurse on the news this morning, video call so her face and name clear for everyone to see, who said in her hospital the ratio is 50/50 of un/vaccinated patients in icu
I was more referring to the post he was responding to. Seemed like he was questioning an anonymous source but then validating a source because the person showed their face.If 90% are vaccinated, that shows the vaccine is having a huge impact unless you are simple and can’t compute basic stats
Just that this nurse was not hiding behind anonymity like the one in the article previously quoted.Do you have a point?
My least favourite stat is "x amount of people who have died within 28 days of receiving a positive covid test"Not wrong but the average person really sucks at understanding data and differentiating good data from flawed data. Therefore, anyone can throw a pile of shit data out there and half the world now thinks it’s a fact.
Any comment on the hospital my girlfriend was working at that has 32 of 33 ICU patients being unvaccinated? Our areas vac rate is 60%.Just that this nurse was not hiding behind anonymity like the one in the article previously quoted.
Agree and it sucks because people who don’t believe in Covid use this to validate their belief that its all a conspiracy of lies.My least favourite stat is "x amount of people who have died within 28 days of receiving a positive covid test"
Fuck does that mean? How many of them would not have died but for covid?
Terrible, vague stat that doesn't tell me what we need to know. That to me suggests they're mearly taking 2 stats. Positive tests and number of deaths.
No relationship between the two. Not using any increase on previous death stats. Not even checking what the cause of death actually was.
Could be that 150 people died within 28 days of a positive test and 120 of them were in their 90s and....well.....you get it.
They don't seem to have figured out that, that is an important data point that they're not using well.

Or because I don’t tell you my real name and random internet girl has, her info is correct and mine is made up?
There’s nothing wrong with questioning either piece of data but you are obviously making your argument to meet your agenda.
We don’t play in the MLS, hope this helpsFYI, per American sports the standard seems to be that an athlete can return to play if one of the two following conditions is met:
1) 10 day quarantine
2) 2 negative PCR tests within 24 hours
If we have 2 players back for Leicester, maybe we’ve had someone with a positive case test return some negative tests.
I’ve seen a stat that c.80% of those numbers are solely down to Covid.My least favourite stat is "x amount of people who have died within 28 days of receiving a positive covid test"

It doesn’t. Is there a standard for when EPL players can return following a positive test. Is it purely the 10 days or can it be sooner with negative tests?We don’t play in the MLS, hope this helps
Sorry thought you were a covidiot.What are you talking about, I don't have any agenda. This nurse appeared on BBC breakfast news and was detailing her experiences and all I did was respond to the post questioning the anonymous nurse source of an article in the Guardian. That was the main reason of posting that reply, that a nurse was brave enough to appear on TV and not hide behind anonymity, not what data she was revealing because as we all know data can be twisted to suit any agenda.
But even that doesn't tell the full picture.I’ve seen a stat that c.80% of those numbers are solely down to Covid.
