Coronavirus thread

[Speaker to Animals]

The covid deaths are drastically underestimated, actually.

That's the problem. You are believing wrong statistics because you are making an ideological decision rather than an intelligent decision. You are not really thinking about it at all.

Oh, is that the problem?

Your diagnosis is taken with a seriousness directly proportional to your expertise.

Derp derp.

Well, the problem with the kinds of fake statistics you are running off of were clearly explained. I can't make you actually try to understand the problem. You believe what you want.

I can't reason with an ideology, dude. Ideologies don't care about facts and logic. They are not unlike a virus -- a runaway program.

Are they kicking rapists out of jail yet to make room for skateboarders and Moms playing with their kids in the park ?

Due to the speed of a skateboarder, they are able to pass on the deadly COVIDS at a highly amplified rate making them much more dangerous than a rapist who can realistically only rape and kill - what? - 2, maybe 3 people a night.

That's solid math and science

I can't reason

There you go.

You padded your post with a bunch of straw-manning, projection, and nonsense, but once we cut all of that away you actually make a pretty good point.

We did not have more than 15,000 recorded deaths from influenza for the entire 2019-2020 influenza season. Influenza had a much higher infection rate than covid. Covid still has not infected more than a few percentage points of the American population no matter how generously you want to estimate total infections.

When you compare apples-to-apples, covid is far, far worse.

If you cannot engage with the argument, then whatever. I think your asinine response speaks for itself.

What really is the point of coming here if you can't even be bothered to actually defend your position?

If you review the the thread you'll notice I never compared COVID to the flu, nor commented on it's severity compared to the flu.

I said COVID mortality stats were being padded with deaths not proven to be coronavirus cases, and that we had incentivized hospitals to report deaths as COVID.

Then I proceeded to prove those points.

The rest is you, your inner dialogue, and windmill tilting.

Personally, it's time for the vast majority of America to Nut up. Understand the risks, practice good sanitation and precautions while still functioning.

Life is full of risks.

I’ll say COVID is comparable to the flu. I’m a doctor. It doesn’t make any difference what the TDS people think because I’ve Foed them. Go ahead, rant yourself into an embolism.

[TheReal_ND]

I don’t think you get my drift...the homeless will be “controlled” soon enough.

Oh I completely understand what you meant. I'm surprised they haven't been wiped out by now with this virus, the state has done nothing for them.

Maybe in California.
But here in Washington:

King County providing beer, cigarettes to keep addicts in quarantine

Yep, that's right. The country that brought you the most insane soda tax in America to safeguard people's "health" is now buying cigarettes and beer for people.

Yooooooo
