One of my favorite quotes from Dark Waters:

[Hey, it's Teddy Jay! 😷 @SlyTed]

As the ellipsis included in your comments demonstrates, there's a beginning to the quoted text.
Let’s explore:

@joe_k_2024 @julieakincaid @keetmuise 🤣 @ the misguided attempt at subterfuge.

Here's the comment thread that this one tries to bury:

@joe_k_2024 @julieakincaid @keetmuise lol. This you?:
https://t.co/LJL63g9MmC

You absolutely did take THE COMMENT, and furthermore, THE PAPER out of context.
Again, comprehension or misrepresentation?

Now, witness…

@joe_k_2024 @julieakincaid @keetmuise Previous to this…

“COVID-19 activity remained at low levels with small increases in some indicators.
SARS-CoV-2 positivity increased to 4.7% compared with 4.0% in the previous week.”

[Hey, it's Teddy Jay! 😷 @SlyTed]

@joe_k_2024 @julieakincaid @keetmuise Now, the data -
Let’s look to the UK Health Security Agency:

“COVID-19 activity increased across most indicators.
SARS-CoV-2 positivity increased to 7.1% compared with 4.6% in the previous week.”

[Hey, it's Teddy Jay! 😷 @SlyTed]

@joe_k_2024 @julieakincaid @keetmuise Now, let’s speak on your lackluster try at a rebuttal:

Why would you cite data from 2020 to bolster your argument of ...?

(🤣 at pulling an actual paper re: early US response, and also *current UK messaging* for a rebuttal abt the context of said paper, though I digress.)

@1goodtern Long time listener, first time caller!
We’re alone through this, raising conscientious kids in fly-over country.

[Hey, it's Teddy Jay! 😷 @SlyTed]

@joe_k_2024 @julieakincaid @keetmuise lol, sure.
Then you purposefully misrepresented the text you cite.

Got it.

[Hey, it's Teddy Jay! 😷 @SlyTed]

@joe_k_2024 @julieakincaid @keetmuise Are you bad a reading comprehension, or are you misrepresenting?

[Hey, it's Teddy Jay! 😷 @SlyTed]

@joe_k_2024 Here’s the rest of the sentence and passage:

“…or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968) rather than a disease similar to SARS or MERS, which have had case fatality rates of 9 to 10% and 36%, respectively.”

Yep, CURRENTLY we are closer to 0.1% than 36%!

lol.
