You can't be serious, can you? Maybe it's transmitted by 5G is what you're entertaining? "Look at all those idiots wearing masks when it's really transmitted by cellphone towers!" Don't make controversy where there isn't any. Stop being sloppy, people!
-
A theme you know well, my friend. Good night.
-
You've expressed this opinion before. And when I took issue with your point of view, you accused me of personal attacks. But you've brought your own personal circumstances into the conversation by holding such an absurd opinion--indeed, you are thinking about YOU and YOUR STYLIST when conceiving of the viability of such a scheme. (Sure you and her could manage it, but can you ensure that anyone else can? And has the thought even crossed your mind? Doesn't seem so, my friend.) Because you aren't thinking of this guy: Look, I wish you the best. But you have a voice here, and for my part, you are being sloppy--basing it on anecdotal experience and casual rigor. Be better than that. It's just obvious that too many workers and customers would skimp on protocol, because a significant portion of the American population is non-rationale. We have to account for the non-rationale, sadly; so even that you and your stylist could supposedly do it safely, that sets an unsustainable precedent.
-
I specifically addressed this misguided recommendation. I don't trust you or your stylist to properly manage not infecting each other with whatever complicated medical equipment you can supposedly master to get a haircut. You are off in fantasyland, and should probably realize your experience is pretty limited to you and your very narrow circle, and you probably shouldn't make broad recommendations off your anecdotal and privileged experience. Seriously.
-
Trusting salons and customers to use medical grade masks properly to make yourself pretty is stupid. There are other ways we can help those workers out. I'd be in favor of stimulus designed to go directly to such furloughed workers, instead of just everyone. Seriously. We can wait on the haircuts and golf. The problem isn't just you; it's everyone else who is too stupid, lazy or sloppy to correctly keep themselves from infecting themselves and others...
-
Your throwing it out there was not misplaced, as this evidently happened.* And really, his post was the captain obvious caveat for any kind of comparison, such that it should probably be left unsaid, for fear of seeming fastidious. *yes, one or the other test could be a result of a false positive. But the patient was hospitalized the first time around, and has developed pronounced symptoms consistent with Covid-19 the second time around.
-
It's a weird, wild ride. And certainly lends itself to internet content.
-
The only choice is for the feds to keep running deficits ("printing money") to keep individuals and businesses afloat. Normally that would be some banna-republic tomfoolery, but with the whole world essentially in the same bind, and needing to stimulate their economies through similar means, there shouldn't be any devaluation of any countries currency (which normally be the result of such an action).
-
Let's put the statistical reality this way: in Spain and Italy--which are two weeks ahead of us--if you are sick enough to get tested, 10% of you will die.
-
Economists say Trump's coronavirus reopening plan is dead wrong
-
I think we have to be very careful about believing in our own ability to survive this thing. Plenty of non-elderly are getting very sick and dying, without necessarily being at risk.
-
And again, we are not flying blind. If you are not finding the right way to proceed you are being shamefully obtuse. I don't care about winning this argument but these continued, 'aww schucks, nobody really knows' comments are just irresponsible. How to proceed is nearly universally held among scientist and doctors: lock down (social distancing is not enough). The only reason to doubt that is one's own arrogance.
-
I strongly disagree. Yes, because testing is a complete fail, the current collected and reported cases may not be representative of it's impact of the population as a whole. But the statistics are actual factual points of data. Although not completely representative, we can observe rates of growth over, now, what is large periods of time. Are you not alarmed by the exponential growth in reported cases in New York over the last week? The statistics literally show exponetional growth whether they are truly representative. The death rate in Italy and Spain is like 10% of reported cases, not representative, but meaningful and scary. And, whatever silverlining there is to diehard's post doesn't excuse the apparently total disregard of repeating falsehoods.Listen to doctors and scientists, not smart guys on the internet.
-
This wrong, dangerous and irresponsible. 1) Covid-19 is far more deadly than the flu at a mortality rate anywhere between 1 to 3.5% (which would represent between 3-12 million Americans); the CDC says the flu last year killed 2 in 100,000 people (6500 total deaths); 2) flattening the curve absolutely saves lives in two ways a) it keeps us within the healht care capacity so that those who need ventilators and treatment get them, if the healthcare system is overrun it won't be people with corona who will die, anybody needing life-saving treatment for anything will be at risk b ) it buys time for a vaccine, that's where the whole 18 mos comes from. I lived off tips for nearly a decade and libertarians like you helped keep me from getting healthcare and even a fair wage. So spare me the anecdote of the poor bartenders of the world. And honestly, we can see exposed in these kind of arguments, why people oppose taking preventive measures to change the climate. It's not that they don't believe in global warming, it's simply that the economy is more important than the earth/our lives.

The whole the cure is worse the disease is some of the most vile rhetoric I've heard. Basically he's suggesting that the economic cost isn't worth saving that many lives. Don't agree with this guy often but:
-
Nearly 800 more deaths in Italy, and 7000 new cases. Here's another tracker that seems to be watching broadcast and local news for reports, so it's ahead of the curve.
-
Here's a tracker that doesn't wait on official state reports and is updated continuously, if you're like me and like seeing what the numbers are ongoing. (It's sourcework is at the bottom)

NBA Suspends Season - remaining games cancelled.
PseudoSABR replied to bighat's topic in The Sports Bar
They need to decide soon, so the players can prepare themselves properly. But suspending everything tomorrow would be a good start, and then decide when or whether to start the games. -
The whole shut-up and eat tofu is a bad look. Dr. Specht actually just published the analysis on statnews.com But I'll concede your expertise on POSs.
-
At least she showed her math, and stated her presumptions (which we can disagree with her on). The larger point is that if we are going to be concerned about something practical, the capacity of our healthcare system is worthy of our scrutiny. (And the "someone who spends her time trying to reinvent tofu deeming herself an authority" angle was totally unnecessary to your point, and overtly divisive and diminishing. I think we can avoid such approaches if we want to keep this thread open.)
-
Whether one percent or three and half percent, that death rate is very significant. Sure *you* may not be negatively impacted (yet). But any community population with vulnerable people in close quarters, whether schools, hospitals, nursing homes, prisons, and a variety of businesses, prudence is key, and the seriousness needs to be communicated so people actually do **** like wash their hands. And we really don't know how many cases, because of the lack of testing-kits. Sure there's an outsized response to this particular pandemic especially on social media, but the backlash to the response seems even more ignorant.
-
I can't think of anyone who has down more post-career to turn their reputation around than Arod. Now he's an authority on how you deal with cheaters.

Did Expanse get cancelled? For a second time (after scyfy and going to amazon). Edit: Season 5 just got finished filming. So no.
-
Have you tried Lirian's other games Divine Divinity Original Sins 1 & 2? The gameplay and tone isn't for everyone, and I worry that will bleed into BG3. But the opening sequence was pretty dramatic and compelling to say the least...
