Coronavirus

I watched the video. People can argue either way, but to me, he still comes off really, really badly. He's supposed to inspire confidence, but does nothing of the sort.

Here in Ireland, they're talking about staggering the reopening of everything over the next few weeks/months. Hospital cases are starting to lessen, and it looks like all the precautions might have actually worked. The hope is that even as some stuff starts to go back to normal, the more vulnerable people aren't caught in the crossfire.

Thankfully we haven't had too many assholes breaking the rules.

Do laundry once every three months and use the same coffee cup for a week before washing.

Problem solved.

You are basing these brilliant statements on what exactly?

You realize this scenario has nothing to do with what is being asked right?

Quarantines create loneliness and isolation. They weaken immune systems:

In the most direct way, LoB is correct. Technically correct is the best correct.

LoB, is this what you meant with your statement?

by default it creates sadness and loneliness, which by default weakens your immune system? That's not what the article says, at all, but cool bro-science dudebro 👆

I saw a physician claim that the quarantine is causing a lack of exposure which not only results in the prevention of antibodies being developed, it also weakens the body's immune system to everyday contaminants/pathogens etc.

When the quarantine is lifted otherwise healthy people that should not have been involved will be more vulnerable to illness as a result.

Oh? Moving the goal posts? Wonderful! 🙂

Right from the article:

University of Delaware Assistant Professor Lisa Jaremka has spent the last decade researching the connection between loneliness and poorer health outcomes. That work is especially applicable as millions stuck at home and away from loved ones may be experiencing loneliness.

“Among people who contract this coronavirus, if they are lonely, at least from the logic of the prior work, we would expect them to experience more symptoms and perhaps kind of fare worse with that virus compared to the non-lonely people,” she said.

In a hospital study published in Health Psychology in 2017, researchers exposed test subjects to the common cold and then monitored outcomes. The patients who reported being more lonely were almost 40% more likely to report more severe symptoms than those who were less lonely.

And:

"Social isolation is the objective physical separation of people, such as living alone; loneliness is the subjective distressed feeling of being alone or separated," Mandal says.

Research has found it's your perception of loneliness — not an objective measurement of your social interaction — that affects your health. For example, a 2017 study found that people who perceived themselves as lonely had more cold symptoms than people who didn't feel lonely.

And social isolation was linked with greater negative influence on the immune system than just feeling lonely:

You know what's wonderful about lour little conversations? It's like you play the ignorant fool, on purpose, so I can drive home my points even harder. I know you don't mean to - you're genuinely this sure about yourself but are just simply this ignorant.

the article is based on a single study that quarantine MAY cause loneliness which MAY cause a weakened immune system. so you and lobtard were wrong, by making) defending an absolute statement as fact, when it is neither absolute nor factual.

guess you better do what you always do when you're caught being flat wrong: have a meltdown and radio in for coping gang backup

That was the crux of the Stanford researchers positions on the lockdowns, as well: it's a bad policy and has increased deaths and infections. They published research to show that the lockdowns and isolation policies created surges in new cases and deaths. They controlled for testing availability and the incubation periods, as well.

The lead researcher breaks down this research in a 1 hour and 20 minute interview but no one watched the video or read the research paper I linked (except Artol) so we are stuck having the same exact conversations over and over.

Hey, man, I can't help it that you're ignorant and you had no idea that the quarantines weakened our immune system.

All can see that you tried the "loneliness is not isolation!" argument so I provided a study that directly addresses that social isolation, which is what social distancing is, is worse than just plain loneliness.

Since your positions were completely destroyed from both angles, your only position left is, "IT WAS JUST ONE STUDY!" Right?

WRONG!!!!

It was a meta-analysis of many studies!

You're an absolute imbecile and demonstrate it more with each passing day.

Who would need backup for a demented pissant like you!

Reminds me of that time I sent you (PVS) a PM with a heartfelt plea for us to be BFFs, for you to like me, and for us to get along.

But it included a secret message in it that said you're a dumbass. You were quick to post the PM out in the open to try and embarrass me. And then I revealed the hidden message and you got furious.

This is just like that. I just waited for you to dig your hole deeper and deeper. Waited for you to take the bait of "just one study" so see if you were lazy enough to skip the link.

low and behold...

You were.

So confident and sure of yourself that you fell right into the obvious trap of making yourself look like a fool.

Bam!

Meta-analysis right on your butthole! haermm

I haven't laughed this hard in about a week.

Thanks for the laugh, PVS.

the article you initially posted describes only one study. don't let that stop you from chimping out 👆
