News Is coronavirus a wild card?

Sure. Reason why we can’t own tanks.

 

I don't live in Texas. I have friends who live mostly in the Houston area and I don't think it's likely at all that any of them comes in contact with anybody from that town somewhere in Texas where that church is.

So it really doesn't matter to me if they all die. If they infect everybody in that town and they die I don't care. Lots of people I don't know die every die. That's an acceptable risk. Might be a good lesson for everybody else that social distancing is the right thing to do. God works in mysterious ways. Reverend Osteen says God has a plan for everybody so if he has to sacrifice a few pawns so be it.

The church in Central where they arrested the pastor for holding services for 1000 people is a different story. Central is part the Baton Rouge suburban metro area. Some Central residents work in Baton Rouge. Others enter the city for whatever reason.

I live in Baton Rouge. I have family members who live in Baton Rouge. If all 1000 people who attended the services would die before they went out into the community to infect anybody else I would laugh about it and call it ironic justice. But they won't all die.

There are people who are alive right now who will die because Tony Snow ignored reality and 1000 idiots didn't have the good sense to stay home.

That's an unacceptable risk.

 

is nothing without risk, or, as you said earlier "if you lived off the land in the middle of no where, you don’t have a COVID19 problem"

 

i see. obviously the level of risk is the relevant bit.

 

my point was that the degree of risk determines the restriction, etc.

the concern is government that unfairly overreaches, restricting ammo sales, etc to forward their agenda, see the rescue bill for examples of that...

it’s a hard line to try to balance, and I don’t necessarily like it but the common good is just that

 

i agree its good to pushback against authority and care alot about your constitutional right to assemble.

but this is a very unique situation. its like if we are in london in ww2 and they ask you to blackout the lights at night so the germans cant bomb us, but some fucks really like to light up their backyards with happy bonfires and bottle rockets. yeah, you have a right to varous things, but dont be a dick.

as to the legal issues, i dont know. what i do know is this pastor is a fucking shitbag. if my dad dies because his flock clogs up my local hospital i will kill him myself.

 

And like I said, what end result difference is there in Trumps response and that of France, Spain, Italy, etc.?

It’s like your bitching about a pitchers form, although he throws just as many if not more strikes as the pitcher with perfect form.

 

- I have no idea. But you are free to enlighten us.
- I’d be perfectly fine with you railing on Rush or Fox
- No ... it is not a false equivalency, and to think that public health is not a national security issue is an interesting take.
- While Fox and Rush were challenging to Obama, the degree of adversarial diatribe didn’t rise nearly to the level of that seen with the liberal press. This is proven in numerous media analysis reports.

 

You would be correct.

The husband and daughter of the elderly lady in our church who has COVID19 both tested positive. They said they both experienced some mild “flu-ish” like symptoms, low grade fever for a few days and are now fine. Don’t really think there is much rhyme or reason to the severity. I know one report said that people with blood type A may be more susceptible to severe disease, while O may be more resistant. But more research would need to confirm it.

 

US Intelligence has determined that China manipulated their numbers creating a false sense of security about the severity of the disease. The head of infectious disease Dr Birx notes other countries thought it was severe but smaller based on the manipulated data coming out of China.
