Flubros and Flubras! Day 170 (a place for Flubros and Flubras)

It’s just the flu, bro.

Started sending complaints to various school board officials about Coronavirus mask requirements. The kids must wear masks even while working out in PE and basketball practice. These strict rules were imposed right before the school year started, probably because parents and teachers complained. Hopefully enough people will complain and get these strict rules relaxed.

I recognize the futility of complaining in a school board with well over 10k kids, but I do it anyway. Homeschooling is definitely appealing. I have done it before for years and my oldest went all the way through to university after getting homeschooled her whole life. But homeschool is not our plan for the rest of our kids.

-

Also note that some (probably most) universities make people wear masks when they exercise. It seems as though a case could be made that the rules are stricter to prevent Coronavirus for young people than they are for the people who are very old who actually have a probability of death greater than 0.

Hi Kozac, just wondering does posting these meaningless numbers everyday give your life purpose?

Like Big Media, the bot’s manager is salivating for “200,000” in enough time before Nov. 3 to win over some more votes for the demented pedophile.

It has been my experience that it is impossible to reason people out of a position that they have frightened themselves into.

I point to data which indicates that COVID-19 is (in terms of overall mortality rate) equivalent to a bad flu season. They respond with "Yeah, but, yeah but...".

I point to data which indicates that the case mortality rate (from the CDC) is less than half of what it was three months ago. I point to data which indicates that the daily death toll is half what it was three months ago. They respond with "Yeah, but, yeah but...".

I point out that there was no panic during the Asian Flu of 1957 (which was worse than COVID-19 in terms of overall mortality rate) and they respond with "Yeah but, yeah but...".

You're doing (g)od's work just like the baby butcher Soros backed Demoncrats.

C'mon gurl (or is that ghoul?)! Put some more EMOTION into it, don't just keep posting lying numbers.

They make the college kids wear masks not because they’re worried about the kids....They don’t care about the kids...they’re worried about their own sorry old a$$e$...the old profs. and administrators.

Imagine if people who got the flu and recovered, yet got counted as the flu deaths because there was some trace of the flu genome in them? Would that inflate flu numbers?

Then there’s the 1968 Hong Kong Flu. With multiple different Extrapolation based on the increased national and city populations in 2020 versus 1968, it’s overwhelmingly likely that if Hong Kong Flu happened this year, it would be worse than it was on 1968.
