Are you incapable of writing a post without a strawman based on an inability to read simple English? Please just go back to Reddit. You can't cut it h...

Ok, I just don't want to have to clean up a fight again. There's always the report button for that anyhow.

Why did Bernie sell out on the corporate bonanza bill? Anyone?
April 02, 2020 at 01:01
It's not akin to fortune telling when there are scientific models to rely on. Looking at what I see, I predict 110,000 deaths within 3 months, presumi...

By the way, I would ask that we be conservative in accusations of anti-semitism, racism etc in-thread. At least require more than the mention of a com...
April 02, 2020 at 00:55
So, what's your estimate then? 3-month timeline. Shoot.
April 02, 2020 at 00:46
I accept that, but we're not going to get to the bottom of the exact death rate for a long time. Actual deaths, on the other hand, will be a lot easie...

Anyway @"NOS4A2", seeing as you're a Fauci convert now, presumably you accept his estimate that even with current measures and on the low end 1-200,00...

Supposing this is correct, that the fatality rate is closer to 0.1% than an average of 9, 10 or 36% does not mean it's more like 0.1% than 1% (implyin...

Seeing as you made an argument that relies on that data, you're obliged to make sure it's correct. Anyhow here: https://www.livescience.com/new-corona...

No, he never said that.

Wow, Trump did a proper press briefing yesterday. Truth is out there. Trolls fall in line now. I don't think it was arrogance. We weren't given good a...

When the virus is already in the country and spreading, stopping flights is not of much use. That horse has bolted. Sounds good to the xenophobes, of ...
April 01, 2020 at 21:11
Yes, absolutely. It's predominantly spread in droplets, so it's nuts that we all haven't been wearing masks from the beginning. Interesting also the c...

I employed a phrasal synonym aptly descriptive of my targets' scientific quasi-euphemism, not a direct quote from either; hence no quotation marks. Ne...

Hope Britons never forget that Boris and Cummings' initial strategy of culling the herd is the reason for the totally avoidable chaos to come.
April 01, 2020 at 15:02
Yes, the UK is surging and will be a basket case within a week sadly.

It's a stupidly worded survey. But it's not too difficult to disentangle the two questions. A. The first is a general question and the second is speci...

Specifically only in relation to Trump and specifically in relation to helping to block or pass his agenda. Hardly a surprise that more Republicans th...

tl;dr = possible lucky guess.

The coolest part of my day today was when @"Hanover" accused me of wanting Boris Johnson dead by trying to feed him the Trump™ anti-virus cocktail, ch...
March 30, 2020 at 19:46
Nice speech though. You're hired for the next time I deliberately trip over a loose paving stone.
March 30, 2020 at 18:20
Where did I wish death on him??

“Let’s see how it works,” Trump said in his daily briefing Sunday. “It may, it may not.” Fine, but let's use Boris Johnson as the guinea pig then rath...

Far as I remember, the WHO first implied the virus was part of a Democratic hoax and then said everything would be fine because it would melt in April...

It doesn't copy the OP but it copies everything else. In this case there was no "everything else".
March 29, 2020 at 10:39
Full determination, absolute consistency, and a clear unwavering plan = the virus. Weakness, incoherency, and movement in random directions = Trump. W...

@"StreetlightX" dealt with that afaik.

I can't find any argument in your post relating to something I said except the false claim that I'm promoting panic. I would be against that. I am als...

Quote reputable data from a reputable source if you want to debate the issue. And quote where the data contradicts anything I've said. Don't send me t...

Sorry, dude. I was specifically referring to our argument and just wanted to make things simple. :halo:

There are two people having this conversation argument, Hanover. What number and what percentage of them are right? 1 (number of correct people, me)/2...

March 28, 2020 at 17:15
So, overall, 0.4 of a person has died from coronavirus? Wow, it really is a hoax then. Anyway, yes, let's open things up now, because no matter what t...
