I love these shorts because they are informative without being either full of jargon or said in such a way that makes you feel like the world is ending
I love these shorts because I instantly assume they are false, then I look up the information and actually learn something. Maybe that’s their goal idk.
💯 it's weird that this is a news channel because these are so good, it's like they've nailed the shorts format more than other. and didn;t you see all the hand towels 🤣
I thought this was a joke that this guy was as informative as a leading newspaper. Never bothered to read the channel's name. Just watched the shorts. I checked bow. 😂 I feel so stupid.
When you hear the term “people”, what do you think? I think of human 0-100+. Now how many children do you think were in the study? Idk they give no information. I’d assume not many. What happens to death rates as age goes down? They plummet. What happens to asymptomatic rates as age goes down ? Skyrocket. 20% sounds very low.. At this point.
I was in a small office of 5 people for the majority of the pandemic. We shut down 3 times for the entire office testing positive. I took the tests every time, never once came back positive. My siblings think I should volunteer for one of these studies.
@bigisrick I understand, but the question still remains. Was I asymptomatic before the first test and never bothered getting tested or do I have a magical immune system
This guy is singlehandedly saving the old timey news corps. Not sure if I should be happy about that, but you ARE hilarious so I'll reserve judgement for now.

I would not be surprised if I was infected at some point and was asymptomatic. That's usually how it goes for me: Everyone around me gets sick from something, but somehow, I don't. It's especially likely because I live in a red state.
That would be great! I had severe acute symptoms for 28 days, (as in fully bedridden and in terrible pain, unable to leave the house or properly care for myself for damn near a full month.) and still have symptoms 8 months later. I had to quit my job, it's been a real suckfest.
@@WindsorMasonmust be more frustrating seeing people claim that it has a 1% fatality rate ignoring that a month of terrible pain and 8 months of symptoms can still happen
@@juliusdauksys2183 As far as I know, I've never had covid, but that 1% people like to tout frustrates me too for different reasons. That's a lot of people! If 1% of planes suddenly started crashing, the aviation industry would be shut down overnight.
Um...I take a huge amount of quercetin with bromelain for my chronic sinusitis. It helps. I've found out more recently that quercetin seems to be helpful for COVID recovery, as found in a small study. ...I recommend the combo of quercetin with bromelain unless you're allergic to pineapple. ...Id suggest trying around 4.8 GRAMS a day. ...It's pretty innocuous stuff if it fails to do anything for you.
@@juliusdauksys2183 for those of us not dealing with long CoViD I would say yes, the misinformed and the problems they bring are quite frustrating. On the other hand, looking at those dealing with it... Many have a hard time maintaining a positive outlook for themselves and the day to day, so thinking about others being misinformed is probably low on their list of concerns. But again, yes. So many people only look at part of a picture and think that's all there is to it. Like "Hey, barely anyone died from X." Maybe so, but how many feel like they might as well have, or suffered needlessly from something avoidable? And does that mean it's not worth funding, research, or caring about? Too many topics can fill in the blank here. :(
Genuine question: considering the immense size of the sample (almost 30k), how was it only 19% male and overwhelmingly white? Where did they acquire their donations?
Subjects for this kind of study depend on who signs up for the group the study is drawn from. Then they have to qualify otherwise- eg they have to be alive to give consent, they probably have some geographical restrictions, etc. I know blacks sometimes don’t sign up for medical research (more than understandable because of the history of research being done on them historically).
I’m curious how contagious asymptomatic people are. I remember hearing several stories where two people who live together get tested, one tests positive, but is asymptomatic, and the other tests negative. I feel like the less sneezing & coughing you do the less likely you are to spread the virus.
Quick reminder that while, yes, these shorts are a fun and useful way to stay informed, think of them more like a tool than your sole source of information. They should be like a teaser that encourages you to read articles and essays rather than your sole method of staying informed. All that aside for a moment, though, loving the videos!
"Don't you see all the hand towels?" 😂😂😂 Also, that "I cut it up thin" comment has inspired me. I have one of those mandoline and tomorrow I'm going to mandoline spam. Mmmm spamkin. Thank you! Great idea!
I was mostly asymptomatic with covid. I already have chronic lung issues, sk covid attacking that/making it worse is the only reason we noticed Edit: i do think that covid made it worse for me though unfortunately
That was the most possible of the hopeful scenarios I heard some from the medical community talking about. Since having enough of the population prevent themselves from getting infected got thrown out the window.
I remember when I had covid, that I had no symptoms throughout the day and tested negative. It was only at night when I had symptoms, but still tested negative. I tested positive the morning after. I don't miss having Covid and hope I don't get it again.
Hopefully this comes be figured out so they can start helping people like me with long hall symptoms. Over a year and have chronic fatigue 😩. Work went from meh to hell and I haven't woke feeling rested in a year.
Thats very interesting, because my dad is asymptomatic, and me and my dad both contracted covid in peak covid times and while i was feeling like i was about to die all the time, he just felt like he had a bad headache for a week
Tested positive 3 times, only felt a bit off for a few hours the first time. Most annoying part was staying away from everyone and sanitizing everything i touched
I'm not sure making a deadly infection more asymptomatic is necessarily a good idea. Symptomatic people (if they operate on logic) get tested, seek treatment, and try to keep their germs to themselves.
I got CFS in 2022 and was utterly flattened for a year and a half...I hadn't gotten COVID as far as I ever knew but I am damn sure I was exposed more than once. Autistic people are generally more prone to cfs, me, mcas, fibromyalgia, post viral malaise (long COVID is another form of these things) and I would not at all be surprised that repeated exposure to COVID even if asymptomatic could bring on cfs
Suddenly, things make a lot of sense. 99.9% sure I am one of these people. Never got it once. My boyfriend is a nurse and we share a bed. So far he has had it twice while we have been living together. No sense in setting up an air mattress sense we live in a small shared apartment currently.

The man singlehandedly keeping Spam alive
The hand towels and the mayonnaise, I’m dying 😂
Spam is literally just high quality processed meat.
Genuine question: considering the immense size of the sample (almost 30k), how was it only 19% male and overwhelmingly white? Where did they acquire their donations?
They're all bone marrow donors. Their sample may reflect the demographic of people who donate bone marrow, but I don't know for sure.
There’s a lot happening with long covid research at the moment, it would be wonderful if you’d consider covering it. We need help!
I’m down I don’t want symptoms. Was sick for 2 weeks that was brutal. I’m over it.
Curious about why the sample size is primarily women.
Thinking as a generalist more women go to college so that might be a thing.
They're all bone marrow donors. Maybe women donate more frequently than men.
More women donate bone marrow
29k people for a study and they couldn't find one black person 🙄
Subjects for this kind of study depend on who signs up for the group the study is drawn from. Then they have to qualify otherwise- eg they have to be alive to give consent, they probably have some geographical restrictions, etc. I know blacks sometimes don’t sign up for medical research (more than understandable because of the history of research being done on them historically).
