Corona Virus Daily Thread #38

[Vermont Lt]

I am pretty much done posting new stories on the main board.

I did see this one this morning, I found it interesting.

Pretty much refutes the deep state conspiracy by pointing out that, duh...China would not shut down half of their country to satisfy our “deep state.”

We have heard the same old FluBro arguments here for weeks.

They are based on several logical fallacies:

(1) Focus on the death rate

This is a really dumb way to look at a disease where most people still have not even recovered from the first wave. In addition, the death rate is not a static figure. With excellent health care in place the death rate will be much lower than if the health care system is overwhelmed. If you "let 'er rip" the death rate will be very high.

(2) Focus on age

This is a dangerous and evil error--since overwhelmed health care systems will triage the elderly which will make it a self-fulfilling prophecy. If the elder stay home (which most are doing anyway) then they will just triage folks in their 60s instead of their 70s.

(3) Ignore the impact on non CV diseases, injuries etc.

If the health care system is overwhelmed many folks who could have been saved will die of other diseases/injuries.

(4) No politician would dare try to "let her rip" for very long.

The pictures of corpses being dumped outside hospitals would not be acceptable to any population. The relatives of the dead would turn into angry mobs very quickly.

For those who missed it, David Icke has his latest conspiracy theory on CV—at least he does not blame it on the reptilians this time:

https://vaccineliberationarmy.com/2020/04/04/covid-19-is-not-a-virus-david-icke/

He is blaming on 5G and fake tests fwiw.

"He is correct. It is impossible to have discourse without being called a name in the first sentence.

Their ignorance and greed is stunning. I guess when you are locked up for a whopping two to three weeks your true self emerges."

I'm not following your pronouns.

If you care to explain what you wrote, I would be interested in knowing it.

Danke ....

The main board is full of rabid 75 year old flubros. I firmly believe most of them are alcoholics going through detox.

• They think this was supposed to hit everywhere at once.
• They think they are prohibited from going for a walk.
• They all claim they want to go back to work, and then in the next post tell you they are retired.
• They dismiss half the crap Trump says, yet they grasp on every word of his if they agree with it. The dismiss (correctly) inaccurate and bad science when it comes to everything else in the world..,except clinical trials, in favor of something non clinical people have "tested."
• They scream about not using a drug that is being used in 24% of the cases--without understanding the drug is not for everyone.
• They dismiss the word of clinicians, thinking they are out to make a dollar with more cases (not understanding how hospitals work.)
• They use more exclamation points in one post than I've used in the last year.
• All in all, I just think they prefer using the bathroom and NOT washing their hands.
• If the death count doesn't reach a billion, they will never believe this is "real."

  I've stopped engaging them. Unless it amuses me.

Can’t help you if you cannot follow a thread.

[a little elbow grease]

"You should see some of the insults I’ve taken.

And none of them came from datura.

There are some very unstable people around here.

_______________

Yes, I guess so.

A week or so ago that "datura" individual called me a 'douchebag' and added that I belonged over at D.U. LOL.

The moderators were kind enough to remove his post, and that is a good thing.

How in the world does someone call another person a 'douchebag' ..... unless one happens to live with one or two of them?

;-)

Instead of calling people names like that, it's much better to just ask someone exactly what they mean. It's that simple.

Have a good day and stay safe.

China has enough agents in our media to cover their butts.

There biggest insult is that you belong at DU. DU hasn't been an influential website in, probably, a dozen years.

That there alone should tell you what you are dealing with.

I always remember these are the people who stood/stand by motionless as the country was given away. They conserved nothing. Not even public bathrooms. In ten years, if still alive, many of them will be advocating for tranny story hours at libraries much the way they now champion other leftist causes from 10-15 years ago.
