Dianna Leilani Cowern better known online for creating the web series Physics Girl, an educational YouTuber who started her YouTube channel and later educational web series as a post-college personal project, which had grown into a resource for teachers, a source of entertainment for physics nerds.
In July 2022, she contracted long COVID, with symptoms similar to chronic fatigue.

What worked to stop the spread of COVID-19?

A recent paper by Christopher Ruhm of the University of Virginia quantifies the value of various efforts to combat COVID-19 in the US.
https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jama-health-forum/fullarticle/2821581
The headline result is a composite score for different states based on what kinds of restrictions they imposed, but I found the detailed national breakdown more interesting. Here are his estimates of how various interventions affected death rates:
By comparing excess death rates in different states with different restrictions in place, Ruhm estimates how effective each one was. The results are pretty simple:
• Vaccines work great.
• Mask mandates work OK.
• Prohibitions on mask and vaccine mandates are terrible.
Nothing else has much impact. The effects are all fairly small and in many cases aren't even statistically significant. Restaurant closures are minimally effective, but probably not worth it (though it's almost certainly a good idea for wait staff to wear masks).
This is one study, and its results are hardly the last word. Still, it's striking that an awful lot of research has now been done and it mostly finds that hardly anything makes much of a difference. Masks help a little bit, but aside from that it's vaccines or nothing.
Note, however, that there are several interventions that weren't measured in this study: social distancing, better ventilation, UV light, and remote work. All of these are things that likely have some impact.

14.9 million excess deaths associated with the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and 2021

A new study estimates that COVID-19 vaccines helped avert 19.8 million deaths across the globe during the first year after vaccination campaigns were initiated.
The study found that vaccine inequity resulted in a disproportionately higher number of deaths prevented by vaccination in high-income nations than in lower-income nations.
Several low-income nations failed to meet the World Health Organization (WHO) target of vaccinating 40% of their populations and achieving this target could have doubled the number of lives saved in those regions.

This is how you deal with stupid people like Jack. So Jack, how many people died because of the vaccine?

I've got the only tick tock that matters here, Ted.
They fucked the entire world up. We have no idea what that's going to mean for us or our children's futures.
SPOILER ALERT: Your vaccine wasn't a vaccine and everybody who got vaccinated and boosted still got Covid at least once. Some people have had it many times now.
We didn't get the same vaccination that people like Warren Buffett got.

Trump will be fine.

It's over, the facts are in and the vacene was a tremendous success. Jack is just too stupid to see it. No matter, he is a Nat swallowed up by a sea of truth that he can't change. He can only continue to expose himself to be an ignorant fool. Just like his hero Trump.

Quote:I scanned the article. It wasn't clear to me whether “strong" measures had its effect primarily on people over 60, meaning that measures imposed on everyone benefitted a narrow subset of population, or whether they benefitted everyone.

If so, a statewide vaccine mandate for everyone doesn't make sense.
In that case, if someone in a high risk group voluntarily risks their health it shouldn't be up to the state to save them from themselves either. I imagine the state stepping in when they significantly risk the health of others.
The state shouldn't be obliged to spend tremendous resources saving someone who put themselves at severe risk. For example, there are certain sports that should be utterly uninsurable: base jumping. Helicopter skiing.
If someone gets Covid and needs ICU- level care, but they haven't been vaccinated, maybe they should be made comfortable in a quiet part of the hospital, given routine care (saline IV, nasal oxygen, fever reducers and pain killers) but that's it.
What say you, SIX?

I think that Ted is drunk. His spelling is far worse today than usual.
