If you can't understand why misleading public health information and hair-brained conspiracy theories that don't impact anyone except the nuts who believe in them are treated differently, you're beyond help. I think all the auto-erotic asphyxiation you've been engaging in to pass the time has caused brain damage.
That's what we think it is. She is feeling better today.Quote:

Buddy of mine that lives in San Diego reached out to me after my minimal ordeal.
He is a medical equipment field service engineer working on stuff in OR's, not sure what type of equipment, but lived out of a suitcase.
Company he worked for supplied ZERO PPE for him and never really had a plan for their field team that traveled into the hotzones according to him
What.The.Fuck
The hospitals he went into did not supply PPE to contractors due to shortages, he supplied his own except for when he couldn't up until the end of March still traveling to service the stuff cause they need it in OR's.
He became symptomatic beginning of April and has been hospitalized once with COVID symptoms struggling to breath with "viral pneumonia" but has tested negative for COVID 2x.
He is a month in and at home on supplemental oxygen and nebulizers and a bunch of pills said it is like a different truck runs him over every day.
Tylenol isn't taking the edge of the headaches said he is eating over 100mg of edibles a day just to be knocked out enough to not suffer.
His wife got it with mild symptoms and tested positive the first time and is past the 7 day window with no symptoms and his hasn't left their bedroom for 2 weeks.
I told him to sue his employer but maybe the turtle dick Moscow Mitch is going to roll corporate protections from liability into the next bailout.
That was a sobering fucking phone call
Yea, that video was all the buzz on Trumptard facebook pages, etc. Damage done.Quote:

If we had Sweden's death rate per capita, we'd be just shy of 80,000 deaths. How does that logic fit into your outlook?Quote:

So, we’re going to see shortages of food in a few months.
To date, we’ve been rolling on stocks that were produced prior to the Covid outbreak...but we’re headed towards food uncertainty despite populations maybe cresting the curve in the next month or two
as said we surely couldnt do anywhere near exactly what Sweden has attempted. Im hoping we can learn something thats all.Quote:

He’ll soon say he meant to add another zero to that, so he is still “doing a great job”.Quote:

Wait a minute. The total world population is somewhere around eight billion. COVID-19 would absolutely not kill 500 million people. That's over 6% of the world's population. The mortality rate looks to be 1% on the high end.Quote:

agreed here. which is part of the reason i dont like the censorship i see happening these days. I get that these companies have the right. Its just funny how they can be selective in their choices.Quote:

500 Million sounds high. 1% die of COVID. How many more die of heat attacks, strokes, cancer, etc that goes untreated as the world soon out of control with first hospitals crashing, then economies and finally governments? How many die forms eh violence that ensues? Have you not watched the Walking Dead?Quote:

Just seems odd to me that some misinformation is ok, and to my eyes, a lot of it is misinformation. The data is ever evolving, ever changing. Too many unknowns for me. Seems selective. I mean I dont think those guys were trying to kill people do you? Was it malicious or were they providing their data points, even if flawed? Arent they kinda all flawed until we have a higher percentage of known cases? Again. not trying to start and argument, and 100% not conspiracy guy just honest observations.Quote:
