She has a joy about her.
I gotta admit, it was different as I'm used to leaders presenting an image of being w/o joy. I think the closest was Obama to that spirit.
Had to think about it for a bit.

Okay, they said it's open for misinterpretation. It's not the first time a study has been changed to satisfy the agenda. Nothing was misinterpreted.

Lol

Of course it's open to misinterpretation by idiots who get their information on Tiktok and don't actually read that information.
Again, I understood it, you didn't. That should tell you something.

He said the study was 'changed'. Again, you open your mouth and let the stupid fly out. You don't even understand how these studies work to say it was changed.
Tell us again how proper masks don't work. I'm sure you have another easily debunked lie. It's easily debunked because proper masks work. Period.

How many times have you been called out peddling Bullshit?
Everything you believe is built on some lie that is easily debunked.
Your life and beliefs are all Bullshit.

This is in the main result of the abstract.
Again, explain why less mask and less social distancing in Africa did not result to more deaths compared to US and Europe?

Like I said, they are not clear if wearing mask prevent covid or not. Your reply to me says the same.

They are literally talking about you in this press release when they say "Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation. ".
Also talking about you when they say, "has been widely misinterpreted ."

If you did ever go to college, you should get a refund.
You posted a study and don't even understand what it said.
And even though I've explained it to you, you still don't understand what it says.
LOL.
There's few posters dumber than you in this thread.

The Cochrane Review 'Physical interventions to interrupt or reduce the spread of respiratory viruses' was published in January 2023 and has been widely misinterpreted.

Karla Soares-Weiser, Editor-in-Chief of the Cochrane Library, has responded on behalf of Cochrane:

Many commentators have claimed that a recently-updated Cochrane Review shows that 'masks don't work', which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation.

It would be accurate to say that the review examined whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses, and that the results were inconclusive. Given the limitations in the primary evidence, the review is not able to address the question of whether mask-wearing itself reduces people's risk of contracting or spreading respiratory viruses.

The review authors are clear on the limitations in the abstract: 'The high risk of bias in the trials, variation in outcome measurement, and relatively low adherence with the interventions during the studies hampers drawing firm conclusions.' Adherence in this context refers to the number of people who actually wore the provided masks when encouraged to do so as part of the intervention. For example, in the most heavily-weighted trial of interventions to promote community mask wearing, 42.3% of people in the intervention arm wore masks compared to 13.3% of those in the control arm.

The original Plain Language Summary for this review stated that 'We are uncertain whether wearing masks or N95/P2 respirators helps to slow the spread of respiratory viruses based on the studies we assessed.' This wording was open to misinterpretation, for which we apologize. While scientific evidence is never immune to misinterpretation, we take responsibility for not making the wording clearer from the outset. We are engaging with the review authors with the aim of updating the Plain Language Summary and abstract to make clear that the review looked at whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses.

Dude shutup. Africa, less mask, less lockdown, less spread, less cases, less social distancing, less virus.

Cochrain
The results from those trials indicated that “wearing masks in the community probably makes little or no difference to the outcome of influenza‐like illness”.

Did the report really say masks do not slow the spread of COVID-19?
This is disputed. Cochrane officially says the report was inconclusive and one of the report’s co-authors says there is no evidence masks work. - Aljazeera

About low interest rate, Obama sat on low FFR for almost 8 years if not more. That's 0 to 0.25% from 2008 to 2015. The second time this happened was 2020
Sometimes you need low interest rate, some times you need more.

There are times money is needed to circulate, there are times it should be cut.
Trump FED reduce interest rate to almost 0 to stimulate the economy because of the lockdown and pandemic. Biden came, left it like it is. Businesses are running normally, then he printed more money into the system for green new crap while not addressing the supply chain issues.

You grandpa acted late on everything.

You don't even understand the English language enough to understand what you read.
The Cochrane study you wrote about wasn't a study on the efficacy of Masks it was a study on the efficacy of mask interventions (or telling people to wear masks or distributing masks for people to wear).

Here are some quotes from a statement from the editor in chief of the Cochrane Library who did the Study.

“Many commentators have claimed that a recently updated Cochrane review shows that ‘masks don’t work,’ which is an inaccurate and misleading interpretation,” Karla Soares-Weiser, the editor in chief of the Cochrane Library, said in a statement.

“The review examined whether interventions to promote mask wearing help to slow the spread of respiratory viruses,” Soares-Weiser said, adding, “Given the limitations in the primary evidence, the review is not able to address the question of whether mask wearing itself reduces people’s risk of contracting or spreading respiratory viruses. ”

She said that “this wording was open to misinterpretation, for which we apologize,” and that Cochrane would revise the summary.

Soares-Weiser also said, though, that one of the lead authors of the review even more seriously misinterpreted its finding on masks by saying in an interview that it proved “there is just no evidence that they make any difference.” In fact, Soares-Weiser said, “that statement is not an accurate representation of what the review found.”

Here is the actual study. But don't bother you're too stupid to understand it.
https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/36715243/#full-view-affiliation-1

And the rest is basically a gibberish understanding of interest rates you just googled. You have no real understanding of it.

Shame in life is a good thing. It makes you want to be better. You have no shame and feel no embarrassment so you continue to post nonsense you don't understand, lie and look stupid like you always do.

As I said, you don't even have the capacity to understand the english language so you can understand the things you post like the Cochrane study, let alone the capacity to discuss with someone like me, who has studied these things.

Stick to the stuff you can Bullshit your way through or people you can bullshit.
I'm dying here from second hand embarrassment for you.

bemeruca:
You are ignorant in this. So ignorant.

More people died under Biden than Trump.
Secondly, it is not clear if mask helped during the pandemic. Again, you are a tool with no agency.

Everytime you open your mouth your ignorance leaps out.
Whether it's Economics(not really understanding causes of inflation) or now Fluid Dynamics (not understanding why masks work).
What other person who has an ioata of knowledge about any of this would make the argument, that it is not clear if mask helped during the pandemic. Not clear to fuxing who? Only idiots like yourself.

It such an idiotic statement only a really stupid person would make. And to make it about a health based topic speaks to the trash person you are.
You should probably shut up and devote your time to lying about living in the US.

Trump's comments of the Congressional Medal of Honor should be disqualifying for any Presidential Candidate.
He doesn't understand the type of sacrifice the Congressional Medal of Honor awards. It's the glue that keeps the military together.
And because of that, he can't effectively be a Commander in Chief who may ask 18yos to give up their lives for that type of sacrifice.

Obrigardo:
Felon trump's policy is all about tariff and cutting taxes for the top 1%. He lost 3million jobs before he left and oversaw the death of millions of Americans because he bungled the early fight against COVID. Even Herman Cain died from catching COVID in his rally. The rapist caught COVID and almost died.

And you want to talk about rapist trump's policies? There's palpable fatigue and exhaustion right now about the rapist and a kind of PTSD because many Americans felt the supply chain disaster because of his COVID handling, that stores were empty and people fought over toilet paper. American didn't recover under the rapist as 2020 was the worst year compared to 1929 when America entered it's depression.

Looking at the present time we need to give President Biden his flowers for turning things around from the disaster of rapist trump.

Except you are one lizard under a rock, and you've never lived under the dark felon trump's presidency, I'll say you are not living in real life.

I urge you to get a mental health check now .

And stop throwing the word communist around because it's only an ignorant idiot that does that.

When Ivana was from communist chezch, Melania's father served under communist Yugoslavia before they cut into communist Slovenia. The rapist adores Kim jong un, a Communist.

You have a real mental health problem, seriously.

Good Luck arguing economic policy with people who don't think low interest rates are inflationary.

Many states already have price gouging laws. I think there are enough brilliant economists to make a Federal price gouging law esp. for emergency situations (like coming out of a Global Pandemic) that would work.
The free markets only work if there is competition. With the slate of consolidation in various sectors that the Gov't didn't shut down, it's easier to collude to raise prices. And so without that competition we saw what happened after Covid. Too much monopolistic behavior.
Just look at the record corporate earnings post Covid.
I think that was one of Biden's biggest failings. Not coming down harder on it or speaking more on it. And of course that is because both parties are bought and sold by big business. Though, to the Dem's credit, by a much much smaller degree.

nedu666:
If trump was responsible for covid deaths in America, who was responsible for deaths in Italy, china, India etc

I don't buy into false equivalencies.
Your argument is that leadership doesn't have any effect.
So, by your argument the US death rate per capita would be equal amongst "wealthy" countries. (Using "wealthy" countries as those who will have better reporting). But the death rate wasn't. The US's was worse. So, how would you account for that, besides the terrible leadership we saw with our eyes. A president who politicized masks (we still have people arguing that masks (that hospital workers have used for centuries) don't work), politicized the pandemic and intimated that drinking bleach would work.

An economist comparing Trump vs. Harris recent economic speech.
But there wasn't one as Trump's speech wasn't serious.
This is what the media has been doing with Trump, grading him on a curve.
They give him credit for just saying he will deal with inflation, why they critique the actual policy Harris put out.

When @CNN asked me to score the big economic policy speeches this week by Trump and Harris, I decided not to grade against a curve, but rather to simply state what I saw. pic.twitter.com/eyiCwCFMAr

Trump changed something in America and in a wrong way.

I think he made people comfortable revealing themselves because they thought he was their ally and he was open with it.
Saw it most during Covid. Was shocked at the revealed racism I saw social media from some people I knew.
Had to unfriend some people.
Biden recently spoke on it.

Tueh.

Imagine someone like Nancy Mace saying she will say people's names the way she wants.
There was a time where Elected officials strived to be role models at least in public.
Now it's open hate, bigotry and racism.

Ladyhippolyta88:
Adam Kinzinger voted for Trump twice and only abandoned him after January 6th. I see no reason why Democrats should be inviting him to speak at the DNC.

They want to give people who voted for Trump a permission slip to vote Harris. But, yeah, I'm 50-50, Dems do try too hard to appeal to the other side at times.

I find this eminently interesting.

So, Trump may have voted illegally in Florida. He is a convicted Felon and by FL laws should lose his right to vote. I'm curious if there is a part of the law that has an exemption.
The very insane thing is that FL is very rough on Felons and restoring their vote to vote.
Yet, I guess those laws only matter for the plebeians. Laws for thee not for me.

ObaIgwe1:
Trump went into a key must win state where he is already trailing in polls and spent a good amount of time talking about Kamala's look and tried to convince his audience that he is better looking than Kamala 😂

The more insane part is that this is a man running for President and an ex-President. If he can't focus for 1 hour to give a speech without his ego taking hold, how effective can he be in the Oval office? He is manifestly unfit to be President.

He diminishes the US and the Presidency. And the GOP with their inability to put country first, has foisted him on the country., I'm sure the rest of the world leaders are gasping in horror when they hear him talk.

I am not a man, I am a mental patient. Your intimacy gadget 1stGenAmerican can attest to this. From a very tender age my parents said anytime they gave me money I always get angry and tear it to pieces. No wonder I grow up and became a die-hard communist. They also said anytime they bought toys for me I get angry and give it out to poor kids. What you depressed junkies call success is what I see as failure. Capitalism depends on idiots like u chasing bullshit elusive dreams of elitism and success in shithole America. Dream on you vagabond American lots, still buying lottery tickets while waiting for American dream. And before I go, you surely won't get cheap pussy defending a slut. She still gonna bring the pussy to a mental patient like me. That's how they like it. You so boring not cussing out that lame pussy. And before I leave, I lived in America for 9yrs, never worked in my life, even before I relocated there I was feeding American first class citizens from Delta State. Just maybe you want to respect me before I do to u what Bruno tattaglia did to luca brasi

Wait.. Did you just type out your loser back story? Lol
But, I won't disagree, you do seem to be a mental patient.

bemeruca:
That's nonsense.
The idea that low interest rates cause inflation is simply not true. There are other factors at play here, and it's clear that the administration's actions, rather than low interest rate, triggered inflation, you know, the printing of money and their green new deal bs. increasing the interest rate was intended to address the situation , but it's evident that the problem persists.

Lol.
I haven't laughed this hard in a while. Thanks for the laugh.
This has been standard economic theory for a while.
You are dumber than dirt.

Here is a chart of the Federal Fund Rate vs. the CPI (I'm not going to explain either to you).
There is of course a lag with the CPI in relation to the changing Fed. Fund rate. .

Maeve7:
You said that Republicans respect the wish of the voters. If they did, Trump wouldn’t be their candidate again. He lost the last election and denies it. You can’t be more disrespectful of the will of the people than this.

Mistake.

Maeve7:
Economies are complex. Lower interest rates can stimulate growth but are not the appropriate tool to control inflation.

Yes, economies are complex, but interest rate manipulation is actually the biggest tool used to control inflation by the FED.
It's the reason everyone is waiting on bated breath for the next FED meeting and the rate cut which everyone assumes will happen.
