News Is coronavirus a wild card?

SO selfish I gave my country 9 years.

 

At least he admits he is a selfish asshole. Come on Winston. Admit that deep down you are too, YOU will feel better about YOU. Pride is outspoken. I don't know him but if he saw an old lady struggling to change a flat tire in the rain he would probably stop and change it for her. He would feel better about himself for doing it. Or he might feel guilty if he just keeps on driving. Either way he would likely admit to himself his reasoning.

I have actually stopped and changed an old lady's tire in the rain. I didn't want to but I would have felt bad about myself if I hadn't. Then again, if I had had something really important I needed to hurry to get to I could have easily rationalized by telling myself that somebody else would have stopped and helped her soon.

 

this is clearly true. the only difference between people is some people require more publicity for their good deeds to satisfy their need to be presented to the world as a good guy

 

Just for arguments sake .... the spread of technological evolution is the result of emulating What others do. If what others are doing is showing a benefit above what I am doing, then there is a high likelihood that I will adopt what they are doing so I myself benefit. The people’s on the Stepps some 7-8000 years ago came up with the idea of using the wheel on wagons to become a mobile society. They quickly conquered their immediate world. But even those parts of the world they did t conquer, who came into contact with them adopted the wheel for this purpose, and began creating other uses for it.

Regarding mask. Japan uses mask. They did not lock down their society. They are as large and metropolitan as the US. They have 16000 cases and 700 deaths, we have 1.5 million cases and 88,000 deaths. It’s a possibility of choice. You can wear mask and keep your place open and suffer very little. You can foregoing mask and shutdown and experience a lot of harm. Hypothetically, you could forego ask and not shut down and things would be a lot worse.

Sweden did not have to shut down, but as I hear it, it is because the Swedes are smarter than Americans, and don’t have to be forced to do the right thing. They looked around and noticed, hey ... wearing mask and Social distance and we should be fine. And, they are fine. Here in the US, however, we have this contingent that says, ... it’s my f**kimg right to do what ever in the hell I want, and we are getting slaughtered.

 

dortmund is playing schalke and american midfielder weston mckinney on fox. so weird the empty stadium. very echoey. like 2 dudes can yell and it echoes through the emtpy place forever. then after a goal you hear like 3 trainers and and the bench guys cheer.

seems like empty stadiums should work. how hard is it to get 50 healthy dudes together? should be simple.

 

Stop comparing total numbers and start comparing testing rate.

It is my understanding japan is hardly testing people. I read something back in late April that Tokyo which has over 9 million people only tested 10K. Likely the 10K with clear symptoms.

As of May 15, Japan has only tested 230K. We have tested over 10 million...... Further, we dont know how they are reporting deaths. We have evidence here that if you die while farting its COVID.

Again I say, you are seeing a "mask" and making a correlation. Evidence does not support that. When it does, I will concede that point.

We are definitely missing a lot of asymptomatic and mildly symptomatic cases," he says. "There is clearly widespread community transmission. I am very worried by this situation."

How many? He is not sure. But based on the Keio results he thinks it could be from 20 to 50 times the official figure. That would mean between 280 and 700 thousand people might be infected in Japan.

Without more testing it is impossible to know. But anecdotal evidence supports the idea that infections are far wider than reported.

 

Also, Japan doesnt have a lot of fatties.

 

But we aren't, that is the tidbit you either missed or erroneously believed when someone said it to you. We are not being "slaughtered" in fact, death rate well below 1%

 

Europeans are sheep, Americans or least some us still are not. I am suspect of every word that comes out of Washington, we all should be. There is no logic to the mask subject. It is imperative that more healthy people be exposed to the virus, that is the key to beating this. All the mask do is ensure we will be dealing with this much longer than neccessary.

 

I was going to say that the Swedish aren't smarter. They are not independent thinkers and more easily follow the herd than Americans.
