Sir Elton John postpones US shows after positive COVID-19 test

Well if there are fewer, that makes COVID more deadly.

However, I have plenty experience that points to what cases are even counted. Our family was undercounted - my mom tested, and I did, so that SHOULD be 2 cases. However, my DH and son and cousin never tested. But my household got positive anti-body tests 2 months later - did they ever count? We were all sick, no question. But it’s possible only my mom counted, because NO ONE from the county deliberately called to check on me (I told them as they counted mom)!

So, the # cases could be much higher than shown, and thus death rate goes DOWN.

Also, my nephew (earlier) was tracked by 2 states (work and residence) - did he count twice for the national stats?

There is LOTS to question about the counting. “Good” and “Bad”.

Kevmo: You’re a commenter on FR, so ... shut up and comment elsewhere if what ya got to say is antithetical to FR
CalRINO: You don’t get to be judge and jury and tell me to shut up and comment elsewhere.
***I aint a judge. I aint a jury. I’m a FReeper like you. And the statement of the founder of Free Republic says sumthin that goes directly against what YOU are sayin’. He IS the judge, he IS the jury in this instance.

Nobody said anything remotely promoting homosexuality.
***They posted amoralism against homosexuality, which is antithetical to the principles of Free Republic.

All they said is it wouldn’t stop them from listening to their music.
***Amoralism. When the principles of this site are against homosexuality. Try to keep up.

Here’s the great thing.....this is America and an America promoting site.
***Oh, cool, then you’re aware of the principles behind this site. Try to adhere to those principles and when you don’t adhere to them, learn what the intitials STFU stand for.

We’re free to express our opinions as long as we aren’t attacking another poster.
***Yes you are free to express your opinions. Even those opinions which are antithetical to the principles laid down by the founder of this website. But it means you’re simply wrong. You’re trying so hard to establish this amoral middle ground but this aint the website to dry that drivel. DU is the right website for such stuff.

You’re just as free to not like our opinion but you don’t get to censor it either.
***How am I censoring it? I am commenting on your lack of adherence to the principles of this website. You’re trying to uphold that action as a positive thing. It aint positive. It aint right. You are wrong. Stop doing it.

HAGD.
***BOHICA

I’m a FReeper like you. And the statement of the founder of Free Republic says sumthin that goes directly against what YOU are sayin’. He IS the judge, he IS the jury in this instance.

Then report it. But don’t swish around here acting like a hall monitor. A couple of people expressed that they like Elton John’s music. They did *not* condone his lifestyle in any way.

Get over yourself.

***Uhh, ETFOOM. You’re acting yourself right now right here as a hall monitor. But you are NOT upholding the principles laid down by the founder of this website, so you are demonstrably wrong.

A couple of people expressed that they like Elton John’s music. They did *not* condone his lifestyle in any way.
***They simply enabled his lifestyle by way of their middle-of-the-road amoral comments.

Get over yourself.
***Look in the mirror. When JimRob posted those principles he didn’t uphold amoralism. Why are you?

You’re acting yourself right now right here as a hall monitor. But you are NOT upholding the principles laid down by the founder of this website, so you are demonstrably wrong.

Typical bully. You squawk like wet hen when somebody uses your own behavior on you.

You are deliberately stirring up trouble with your drama-queen, fake morality act.

Nobody on here has said anything immoral. A couple of posters stated that they like Elton John’s music. You overreacted *and* overreached, even telling another FReeper to “shut up.” As I said before, get over yourself.

If you don’t like what people post here and think it’s wrong, REPORT IT.

I won’t continue this conversation with you. Trying to discuss anything logically with you is an exercise in futility. So, you have the last word. Screech away! 😁

Typical bully. You squawk like wet hen when somebody uses your own behavior on you.
***You are upholding principles antithetical to this website. That makes you the one in the wrong. Your actions suggesting we ‘report it’ are the actions of a bully, not mine.

You are deliberately stirring up trouble with your drama-queen, fake morality act.
***Nuthin fake about it. I see I got under your amoral skin.

Nobody on here has said anything immoral.
***Amoral. Look up the difference. Understand it.

A couple of posters stated that they like Elton John’s music. You overreacted *and* overreached,
***It is neither. They’re upholding homosexuality in an amoralistic stance which is contrary to the principles of this website.

even telling another FReeper to “shut up.”
***People do that around here all the time.

As I said before, get over yourself.
***As I’ve said to you, you’re operating in an antithetical fashion to the principles of this website. You are simply wrong.

If you don’t like what people post here and think it’s wrong, REPORT IT.
***I don’t like what people post here because they are antithetical to the principles laid down for this website. If you don’t like those principles, then YOU report it. And please, copy me when you do that.

I won’t continue this conversation with you.
***Good. Because you are simply in the wrong.

Trying to discuss anything logically with you is an exercise in futility.
***Trying to uphold positive moral principles with you is apparently also an exercise in futility.

So, you have the last word. Screech away! 😁
***Good move, because you’re on the wrong side of this moral equation.

I just know for a fact the care home my sister was at as she was dying found ‘one’ patient that tested positive so they put the entire place in lockdown for a week. Later it was said it was a false test and they re-opened.

I know PA’s duffus was counting care homes twice...when they died. Once in the the hospital count and also once as a care home count.....they eventually caught it but the numbers were wrong for a long time.
