semHello17:20
semI came across this account https://mastodon.social/@COVID19_DISEASE17:20
semCould you all give it a cursory look and see if it looks legit or misinformation?17:21

LjLsem, not a site i remember encountering before, but that doesn't say much17:58
LjLsem, they have a toot on birdflu with a video of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robert_R._Redfield but the video gets cut just before it may or may not make the claim they state18:00
LjLsem, i don't know anything anymore though, everything is so politicized, each of the subreddits that get posted here has a distinct political view (for example look at r/COVID19_Pandemic)18:02
semOhhh18:02
semWow :/18:02
LjLsem, anyway on rewatching (i wasn't following the subs and my spoken english is meh) https://mastodon.social/@COVID19_DISEASE/113725480048575297 he does say "we will have a bird flu pandemic" so the claim "⚠️🚨 Ex-CDC Director: “There WILL Be a Bird Flu Pandemic”" matches the video after all18:04
LjLi do fear bird flu :(18:04
LjLlike a lot18:04
LjLsem, the graph on that site looks plausible to me, but off hand i don't know where to verify the actual number because https://covid.cdc.gov/covid-data-tracker/#datatracker-home seems to only give percentage of positive tests without saying *how many* people test positive as an absolute number. but if you look at how the graph goes, it does match the way the pmc19.com graph goes at least up to the non-predicted part18:09
LjLsem, this guy Michael Hoerger who runs the pmc19.com site appears to be a psychologist18:23
LjLwith some specialized courses in stuff that may be related to epidemics18:24
* LjL shrugs18:24
semYou need to be a public health expert to make any sense of it18:25
semI guess I'll keep wearing a mask and washing hands18:25
LjLmy mom is quite sick, but her covid test was negative, so maybe flu or strep throat or something else18:27
LjLsem, there's no doubt the US data is going up, anyway, so yeah, keep doing the things18:48
semYeah. I hope your mom is better soon!18:49
