When everyone's first response to her refusing to stop is "...how does she have the gall?!", I think it's a natural conclusion

None of them care. As long as it doesn't kill them or anyone they really care about they're fine with millions of other people dying.

Global coronavirus death toll could be 60% higher than reported because so many people are dying before being tested and then having their cause of death recorded as "pneumonia" or "acute respiratory distress" instead of Covid-19, because we aren't testing dead people. Looking at this year's increase over baseline mortality figures for this time of year, we see deaths doubling or even tripling in some places, and the only reasonable explanation for that is that they're dying from Covid but our global testing capacity is far enough behind the spread that we aren't able to confirm their deaths as Covid-related.

Anecdotally, I read an article a few weeks back reporting that Chicago's coroner is recording twice as many deaths per day as usual, with a shockingly high number of pneumonia and respiratory distress deaths not being recorded as Covid deaths because the deceased weren't tested before dying.

AFAIK the WHO doesn't think getting infected and recovering provides much lasting immunity so there's not actually herd immunity possible until a vaccine is developed.

Aren't pretty much all those points either demonstrably false and/or twisted from what he actually said/did? Also, love that he refuses any debate at all from the outset.

Yes, almost all of those points are incorrect or misrepresented. Even with his refusal to debate any of this, there's no debating people like this.
I usually don't touch the poop, but have been trying to correct people that are sharing incorrect information and their brains are just shut off to reason. They aren't going to click links with information that proves their argument wrong in any way. They won't even attempt to listen to what you have to say. It's so impossible to admit that they are wrong about even the smallest thing.

I read the one about the hospital ships and that's where I already bailed. Those things have been ready and active across the world for literally decades, there's no "getting them ready".

A 3 year old also asks a lot of "Why" questions and it doesn't make them smart either.

I'm noticing a lot more Facebook comments (I know I know) mentioning how Sweden is handling Covid and wishing Canada would be more like that (ironically coming from people who consider Sweden a hellish socialist hellhole most every other year) and I am wondering where did this particular talking point even originate from. Did Fox News all of a sudden praise Sweden? Did someone mass tweet a Swedish link?

Sweden handling it in a laissez-faire way has been a big international story for a while. Also it’s going really terribly!

one of the ships was in drydock getting overhauled, and they had to do a crash program to get it back to a ready state. of course the most important part of this process is the president being told about it and then nodding his head or waving his hand or something, which is far more heavy lifting than all the dockworkers were doing or the naval officers coordinating everything

Yeah but are 3-year-olds smart enough to ask "why the hell don't we just nuke hurricanes"??

Somewhat. The prevailing treatment for chronic typhoid infection is a cholecystectomy aka gallbladder removal.

Basically the bacteria responsible for typhoid (Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi) accumulate in the gallbladder, and removing it is the easiest way to control the bacteria.

Aren’t there also reports that way more people were infected than was previously thought, which might also mean that there are more asymptomatic carriers than previously believed?

I remember reading some pushback on that statement, and IIRC there’s absence of evidence but that doesn’t mean evidence of absence. The WHO just wanted to make sure countries didn’t start implementing immunity passports under an assumption that we can’t claim with confidence
