“Measles has not always had a vaccine.”

I posted information to you that pertained to pre-vaccine measles. Did you just ignore all that? If you think it’s wrong, go ahead and refute it.

Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

I’m guessing it’s denial. He has stage IV lung cancer, and, like me with my extra fat and possible pre-diabetes, he could have his butt kicked, maybe for good, by this. He does not want to think about that.

In time, we all end. Who wants to live forever?

someone should remind Rush that the first USA death of CCPVirus was March 1.

It is now 5 weeks later.

The discoveries, the treatment paths, the ability to handle severely ill people en masses, the sourcing of equipment and PPE in a world shortage, the accessing American citizens stranded around the world and getting over 50K home already, has been learned in less time than that. So he needs to shut it and do what everyone else is doing - hold on tight for a madhatter ride.

I ordered them shortly after they were first posted here when they were still advertising version 1. Can’t remember the shipping price. They come via priority mail

I don’t know whether this was posted. It was referenced in the presser tonight.

This is the CDC research that put the R naught at 5.7.

That is very high.

“This is one of the reasons that I think they are insane, possibly even dangerously so. These are not rational people.”

Their response makes sense, sort of. Their world is upside-down and they find us as a convenient target for their frustrations. You are right that they are not rational. Their level of weapons-grade normalcy bias belongs somewhere on the autism spectrum, IMO.

Hey, you want to go to that party or on-site Easter service, go right ahead. I won’t snitch, but your dance card might have Darwin Award on it.

“Just had 9 people walking well within the 6 foot distance past the house. More bleepin’ tourists bringing CV to the neighborhood.”

Plant land mines. Not real ones - order some fake poop and glue it down in front of your house. Creatively done, they should give it a wide berth.

Or maybe some vomit or roadkill.

Or put a speaker in a shrub nearby and feed it a looping recording of coughing.

There are many creative ways to encourage compliance. :)

I don’t re,member you being that concerned about the health dribble influenza season we just had

I’m not dissing Trying mp. He went with the info given him. It was terrible Faucet has always relied on bad models. Always

I’m suggesting we have been layer. We had better wake up beforbefore re everything goes

Not sure I understand all of your post, and it doesn't appear to be a reply to any of my previous posts to you.

But yes, I have always been concerned about the flu, but for more professional reasons. I made sure all the people who worked for me were immunized, as influenza running through a US Navy ship had a major impact on readiness. As far as preventing influenza deaths, I recently posted this:

"Every year, less than half of Americans get flu shots, and thousands die of a preventable disease. As far as Americans are concerned, "old people" are just not valued. If the flu killed 20,000 young or middle aged people every year, I guarantee you at least 90% would get a flu shot. In fact, there would probably be laws or public health regulations to compel it. The same goes with CV19..."

Assuming you are not stalking people here, I wouldn't assume you would "remember" anything about me, some random guy on the internet...
