Okay Piles of Garbo, Listen up!
Neoquest, Uhm... are those even valid arguments bro?
3) I never said anything about replacing all O2 produced by a human, that is just preposterous! Plants have been shown to have other beneficial effects other than just replacing oxygen obvi. My main love of plants comes from the research that shows that when people have something to care for (BT dubbs, this research was done mostly on nursing home residents who end up dying of ennui mostly), it increases the feeling of autonomy and quality of life indicators. Most people in general cannot afford a pet or to have a kid, so a plant is a pragmatic option. IMHO getting a plant is a big decision for most peeps since it requires responsibility and will take some focus off the impending peril.
4) "Most people" - first of all... I would venture that MAY be correct, but even so, it is not advisable. There is a bustling economy now for delivery drivers (even in* uber hard hit places like Brazil). In the USA, at least in my state, Instacart and many other companies like Walmart (my personal go to, its like $13 a month and they take foodstamps) are offering delivery services for groceries since it is such a HIGH RISK ACTIVITY. Do you really think grocery stores are taking proper precautions when they are losing money because of the pandemic? No. ALSO- Lets talk about the vaccine for a quick sec. The 95% rate was for the OG coronavirus not all these damn muttations! Unfortunately if you look at the research (plenty of published papers in peer reviewed journals) The vaccines are at best like 40-60% effective against the mutation from South Africa. The E484K or EEEEK mutation (its got a nickname, totes adorbs) is also worrisome... The Pfizer/Moderna vaccines would be the best, but I would advise caution as, until they are updated, will not give the 95% immunity promised. As an aside, The AstraZeneca vaccine is now not being used in South Africa because it does not seem to provide any benefits to patients (which means it does not help decrease disease severity or decrease mortality risk =()
5) "Highly effective" is only determined by Phase 3 trials done. I will not get into a lengthy explanation on this (I aced epidemiology and biostats in medical school)- As mentioned in the above statement, 95% is for the OG (original) coronavirus, and unfortunately, the spike protein isn't all that is worrisome. The main point of "immunity" is creating antibodies that fight infections. Pretty straightforward, but if the virus can ESCAPE IMMUNITY, we are screwed. I will not say the immunizations are not "highly effective", while they may be moderately effective, exposing yourself to the virus in order to obtain said vaccine is just dumb in my opinion. I would wait until things cool down to get one. Plus, it isn't even being offered to normal peeps yet, so wait your turn and make sure to take proper precautions when receiving it!
@Junjie - Things will get better. Honestly we don't even need the vaccine if people just listened... which they don't. This is why there is yet another wave in various countries right now and there will be another one upcoming in the USA (thanx spring breakers lol).
@KaibaSama - OH NO SHE BETTA DONT. Dermatology is the MOST COMPETITIVE* specialty within the United States (IT IS HARDER TO BE A DERMATOLOGIST THAN A NEUROSURGEON OR ORTHOPEDIC SURGEON - look at USMLE Step 1 scores)*. While we do specialize in skin, EVERYTHING affects the integumentary system (it is the largest organ system, after all). Also... Any MD or Medical Doctor is TRAINED in allergy, immunology, and infectious disease, which were my best subjects by far. I literally killed the Immunology board exam worse than rona is killin* us OKURR. So I know a lot about them. What a terrible argument btw. Oh, and Optometrists are NOT MDs, they are like eye techs, same as therapists or psychologists are not MDs (psychiatrists). Please read up on the medical fields before flaming me, ho. Ophthalmologists are the doctors of the eyes btw (also a very hard specialty to get into).
@ all other hateful weebs. Ur trash. Sorry you aren't successful and only have your sad neopet to cling to. I am so glad I am not involved in this community anymore.
