Coronavirus

Remember folks we wouldn't have a problem with covid-19, cancer, heart disease...any disease if we would just stop testing!

Lucky for the NFL this has happened out of season.

In English football it’s happened when there’s about 10 games left to play and it’s caused carnage, there’s clubs up and down the football league clinging on for survival ...and by survival I don’t mean relegation, I mean the very existence of some clubs.

Youre also never technically overweight as long as you never step on a scale.

Are you scared of the flu?

Who politicized masks?

Because it wasn't "the socialists."

I'm sorry if I offended you. The bottom line is the Man upstairs already knows how long you'll be on this Earth. No mask, vaccine, quarantine, or anything for that matter is going to change it. If people want to self quarantine that's great. I hope it helps them feel safe but for the rest of the country that would rather go on with life and choose to not live in fear we should have the same right. To each his own.

Most normie masks are like trying to protect your home from mosquitoes with a chain link fence. Lol

Flatten the curve!!

Never had it... But maybe I should be because I've heard a lot about it here lately. Apparently it's the scourge of the Earth.

It's also possible the man upstairs is using me as a device to spread this whole covid thing to people whose time is up.  It's all on his schedule, and no mask is going to change that.

You can't dodge the one with your name on it, so to speak, so relax people.

Same thing will cancer, car accidents, obesity, diabetes, and firearm-related fatalities.  All of these things kill WAY more Americans than covid and for some reason you NEVER see liberals trying to regulate or prevent any of these things.  Go figure.

Of course not. Trying to eliminate those things won't got them elected.

There is a 90 page covid thread in the politics and religion section.  You should go in there and clean house like a professional wrestler after the hot tag.

We need a safe space of sorts where no one tests for covid because positive tests might make us feel bummed.

The 1969 Hong Kong flu killed over 100,000 in the U.S. but didn't even put a dent in Woodstock, didn't stop sports, and nobody was wearing masks or shutting anything down. The bulk, same as now, of the deaths are elderly people.

The world is not safe, it never will be, no matter how much man "thinks" he can control.

Yep, not much you can do about stuff like this other than ignore it.  The life expectancy in this country has never gone up just because people made medical advancements or upped national defense or any of that stuff. You call it safety or defending yourself, I call it fear and cowardice.

Ignoring stuff works for me. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got a buttload of overdue bills to burn.

It's not just about defending yourself it's about protecting others.  It's seems incredibly selfish to not make some sacrifices to potentially save lives, but please enjoy your freedoms while trampling on the rights of others.

So DJT is having another presser to announce a NEW team that will handle I guess what the old team didn't?

Anyway it is going to be the best, biggest, most awesome ever in the history of everything from what I hear.

[Isaac Curtis: The Real #85]

Not surprising, given the reality bubble 40% of the country seems to live in, but the level of ignorance and conspiracy theory nonsense in some posts is still disappointing to see.

I haven't seen one word of concern for those who would be (forced?) to work the stadium for a game with fans, even if they are spread out. Folks working the gates, concessions, ushers, and such? What choice do they have?

Even with spread out fans, you are still going to get cheek by jowl at the gates, bathrooms, and concessions. Having games with bars & restaurants open (where people will congregate to watch them) will be problematic enough. Actual fans at games is insane.

Many people believe the severity of the outbreak in Italy & Spain was greatly worsened because of a Champions League match played between Atalanta (northern Italy) and Valencia (Spain) in early spring/late winter. Atalanta is a fairy small city that does not host CL games often, so a high percentage of the town either came to the match, or gathered to watch it. Unbeknownst to many at the time, COVID was already out in northern Italy. Everyone gathered, including Valencia's treveling fans. A month later Italy (northern Italy in particular) had the worst COVID outbreak in the world and Spain was a close second.

Let's try not to repeat that, yes?

Comparisons to the flu (for which there is a vaccine) are idiotic. COVID has killed more Americans in two months than any war save WWI (which it will pass soon), WWII, and the Civil War. And that is WITH severe social distancing restrictions. It would be 10x worse without them. COVID was the leading cause of death in the USA in April. Obviously, this fluctuates a bit, and deaths are undercounted somewhat, but it is right there with heart disease (1,774 dearhs per day) and cancer (1,641). In April, COVID reported deaths were 58,705. Or 1,957 day.

Flu deaths per month? In 2017-18, we lost 61,000 people in a year to the flu. 5,083 per month. With no social distancing.COVID is much deadlier (10x) even with distancing.
