It's okay. You majorly f*cked up. You thought you could play a game of denying that colds killed millions of people because you were ignorant.
Just try to do better next time.
And you're still trying to pretend you have a word game to play like some sort of lawyer that already last the case.
It's too late. Stop getting upset. It's beyond the point for you to get justifiably upset.
This right here is where you demonstrated you knew you were wrong:
Colds are not synonymous with ARIs. If a cold leads to an ARI, then it's a cause. Your own damn links say as much...
lol!
Here's the problem with everything you're trying to do: so what if you want to play a word game? Label it whatever you like. What is the underlying point? The point is we have 4.5 million people die each year from ARIs that are most commonly caused by colds. And what are colds?
You lied before about the original article not mentioned colds even once.

That Vietnamese paper says "The World Health Organization estimates that ≈2 million children die each year from acute respiratory tract infection (ARI), and most live in developing countries" and it doesn't use the word "cold" once.
lol again! haermm
It's about the rhinovirus.
What is the rhinovirus?
One of the causes of a collection of symptoms we call the cold:
It's likely that someday you'll have a close encounter with one of these types:Rhinovirus
Coronavirus
RSV and parainfluenza
There are also a lot of viruses that doctors haven't identified. About 20%-30% of colds in adults are caused by these "unknown" bugs.
https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/cold-guide/common_cold_causes
And what did the article say of their research?
All hospitalized children and 26/43 children from outbreak orphanages tested positive for rhinovirus versus 9/40 control children (p = 0.0005).Outbreak rhinoviruses formed a distinct genetic cluster. Human rhinovirus is an underappreciated cause of severe pneumonia in vulnerable groups.Human rhinovirus (HRV), a common cause of mild upper respiratory tract infections, may also cause severe ARI in children. We report on an outbreak of severe ARI caused by HRV in children living in orphanages in Vietnam.
...
Our findings support recent studies showing that HRV may be associated with severe respiratory tract infection in infants and children (4–6).
So let's get this straight: you pretended that an article from the CDC wasn't about the cold when it says right in the title "Rhinovirus" and then went on a tirade about collection of symptoms, which are caused by over 200 different kinds of viruses, not being colds.
You're very upset that colds kill so many people each year. Very very upset. Why? I don't know. You're trying your best to be dishonest even pretending the very links I provided do not inexorably show you to be clearly wrong. Not just clearly wrong, you're going out of your way to be wrong. You have to be extremely stupid or just obstinate to have taken this conversation as far as you have.
Look...even webmd lists all all the viruses that cause the cold and they are clearly killing lots of people. How stupid do you have to be deny this:
https://www.webmd.com/cold-and-flu/cold-guide/common_cold_causes
And the organization that put together their findings for all these deaths?
They list out the viruses:
Coronovirus - cold
Rhinovirus - cold
RSV - cold (big killer)
If you visit their site, they have article after article about colds and ARIs.
https://www.infectioncontroltoday.com/
Additionally, research found that rhinovirus appears to have a higher mortality rate compared to flus.
https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5343795/
So you either need to make a cause that we are grossly over-reacting to SARS-CoV-2 or we are grossly underreacting to colds.
If "colds" gets your panties in such a bunch that it causes you to deny science and medicine, replace it with ARIs: upper and lower. If you have to be so dense that you need to deny facts to make your point, you should reconsider your point before making it.

Well, you're wrong:
Diagnosis
Most people with a common cold can be diagnosed by their signs and symptoms.
https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/common-cold/diagnosis-treatment/drc-20351611
And to LL, not even close to 3 paragraphs.
Far more. Why waste time destroying someone with 3 paragraphs when 10 or more can make the same point?

Sometimes, I suspect if they just pretend to be wrong just so I get the opportunity to spread the correct knowledge for the whole world to see.
They sacrifice their dignity and pride so that I may educate the masses.

Oh this is an interesting take.
This makes them go from pathetic to stunning and brave, if true.

What’s that diagnosis code again?I’m sorry, so much garbage posted it was tough to weed through
There are multiple. But a great one is J00:
J00 is a billable ICD code used to specify a diagnosis of acute nasopharyngitis [common cold]. A 'billable code' is detailed enough to be used to specify a medical diagnosis.
Guys, I swear, I am not posting as McLovin's sock account. I know it seems like it with how obvious it is setting me up for the wins. But it is truly not me. Someone this overly confident but yet so dumb, actually exists.

I found the perfect medicine for him. It's white grape. Grape because he wants to pretend to be hood but white grape so he has plausible deniability about his racist virtue signaling.
"Haha, yes! I, too, enjoy the beverages made from the un-fermented fruit of the fine my fine black friend! Tis of the white kind, naturally, due to my forthright and righteous adventures all around the world. Mmm, yes, quite."
This thread has been enjoyable. lol
I haven't laughed this hard in a while. About a week since the last time we had a thread like this on KMC.
And you guys wonder why I keep coming back? It's because most of you are like my family. 🙂 Sure, my real life family isn't anywhere near as dumb, obstinate, and uneducated. But I still think of you guys as family. Yes, I am being arrogant again: you guys are some dumb shits. haermm
Peace out, bitches. Off to do real people things.
