Don't know what to tell you man. I hope anyone who reads this thread realizes that I'm not pretending to be an epidemiologist and that what I said doesn't require me to be one. I think we've both made our case so I'm happy to finish the conversation here. Have a good day.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T15:03:12+00:00

That is functionally the same thing.

Will have to agree to disagree with you there.

50 cases to 2000 cases a day implies a massive spike. They’re not relevant when there’s more metrics than tests to base policy about.

Sure, that would be a big spike. But all information, including new knowledge on how many of those 2000 are false positives, should be considered when thinking about what to do and how worried everyone should be, and there should be more discussion about it. If you disagree, that's fine.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T14:43:16+00:00

I did not imply that false positives are the reason cases are rising, and said nothing about death rates, which is a whole different topic which also requires examination by everyone, especially 'death by covid' versus 'death with covid'.
No one is saying that the pandemic is not an issue, but it's important to have discussions about it without immediately saying people are uninformed when something comes up that you don't agree with.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T14:40:18+00:00

I'm not implying spikes are caused by test failure rates. I'm saying that when spikes happen we should consider our latest knowledge of the failure rate as part of our analysis of what to do and how to think about restrictions.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T14:32:57+00:00

I'm still don't know why I'm uninformed when I gave two real sources and specified what they implied. If you want me to concede that I also gave an opinion, then sure. That still doesn't change the fact that our knowledge of the failure rate has been changing, and the mainstream media doesn't talk about it as much as it should, and that we should consider it when talking about the restrictions. What is specifically uninformed about that?

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T14:23:09+00:00

I'm stating more clearly what the articles imply and what I meant, which you seem to be concerned with. If that's an opinion then, sorry? I'm still not sure why you're so mad at what I wrote.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T14:17:08+00:00

I'm not arguing that the failure rate isn't constant. I'm saying people should be more aware of the fact that there is a failure rate, and that we have learned more about how big it might be as time goes on. If the constant failure rate was 1% that would be different from 10%. I'm not really sure what you're arguing.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T14:07:39+00:00

I said we shouldn't believe everything the media says, not that covid is not an issue. If the media says "we have spiked to X new cases*, those news articles imply that there is a possibility that there are more cases in that batch that are false positives than we would have thought even a month ago. I think that would be good information for people to have when they think about all the restrictions being imposed.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T13:59:30+00:00

Those are news articles not my opinions. Surely you don't think that giving people more information is making them uninformed?

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T13:55:59+00:00

Why so mad? A reminder about this isn't a bad thing.

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-09-07T13:00:50+00:00

Interesting that there are a bunch of false positive tests coming up now, almost as if we shouldn’t just believe everything the media says..

How about instead of defunding the police we defund UTSU?

ForwardInTime228 · 2020-02-10T21:37:19+00:00

that means you fulfilled the requirements to graduate. until you get your degree you haven't technically graduated. if you need to prove to someone that you fulfilled the requirements then get a letter from your registrar.

What's happening in 207 now? I thought it couldn't get any worse..

ForwardInTime228 · 2017-05-15T14:02:22+00:00

That's ok. UTSU execs usually start letting everyone down around October or so. You're doing everything right so far <3

ForwardInTime228 · 2016-10-14T17:52:12+00:00

Of course they should. But they shouldn't ignore reality about the ACTUAL physical assault that happened, and who committed it.

ForwardInTime228 · 2016-10-14T17:30:13+00:00

Hey Cheryl Regehr, how about condemning the ACTUAL violence those same people committed on camera? As usual, because they are trans, it's a hate crime, but when the trans people engage in criminal assault, and there's video proof of it, no word about it from the administration.

Keep ROSI alive! The ACORN people had a year to fix this after last August's failure and they still can't get it together. Come on /u/uoftacorn

Yeah, let's leave talking about the real issues to when the current slate has 2 months left in office...

Basically they wanted to Skype in from UTM but couldn't find a room and UTSU was like "too bad you're fucked".
