I'd buy that. Trump doesn't show up well in an intellectual domain, so we easily trash him here on this forum. What we may overlook is the impotence o...

I think you were born in the wrong century. I'd put you in Russia around 1440. They'd name a cathedral after you.

True. Wouldn't that be appropriate for a behaviorist?

Rude banana germs

Some people care more about RBGs seat than holding one idiot responsible for the fact that we aren't South Korea.

Saved this :heart:

If numbers are limited to aspects of the act of counting, then the fact that it's impossible to count to infinity, which is finitism's point in a nuts...

NOS isn't an American, he just poses as one. This guy is all American, though: https://cdn.i24news.tv/uploads/3e/08/1a/b2/2d/98/21/01/fe/e1/ed/1b/29/b...

But these sick people keep showing up in front of me. Don't suffering people present themselves to you asking for help? And that darkness you walked t...

Yes, I saved it. But I was born wanting to save the world. Even if I learn to be reckless with my own life, I can't be reckless with other people's.

I'm the opposite by nature. But staying on lockdown is also dangerous. Speaking of which: "Already, 135 million people had been facing acute food shor...

Yes. If the UT model is right, Georgia's health system should be ok if they start easing off restrictions. If things explode after a couple of days, l...

The same would be true of a unit of currency. A dollar doesn't represent the value of any particular thing. So yes, "dollar" doesn't refer to the valu...

The University of Texas model says Georgia has a 94% chance of being past peak deaths.

Because you can't count to infinity.

"Santa Clause" appears to be a noun, but this is misleading. Rather, "Santa Clause" is to be understood through its role in separating people from the...

We need to get to the bottom of this. Are you retired or about to go bankrupt due to the failure of your business? What was your business anyway?

Facts always take a back seat to myth. I agree that Trump was unable to strike a presidential pose through the pandemic. Word is he intends to blame i...

One way to cement good will toward China would be a GOP attack on them blaming them for the pandemic. In the polarized environment we live in, that wo...

So the Russian trolls will be backing off of improvising and focusing on just repeating native conspiracy theories (I read). Just trying to add oomph ...

Trump-bo!! :grin:

Same here. They're trying to limit personnel coming in to people they really need. The northeast definitely needed lockdown. The rest of us? It's hard...

Everything is fine. https://cms.qz.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/rtx2r8yh-e1478268325585.jpg?quality=75&strip=all&w=1380&h=776

I understand. It's an absurd picture I posted, but its funny.

I think you meant "lying in the bed." A lion is a large predatory cat.

A lion in the bed?

That's because the US faced a series of crises which required a more powerful fed. This crisis was better met by local gov'ts deciding when and how to...

Could be. Gotta love the machine gun bayonet tho.

Yes. Yes it does: https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ItSaNcXXVYg/WRRKmtHfocI/AAAAAAAAL5c/nOPBGIm637kOmhhEOuQiWgn-igi1ZjY6QCLcB/s1600/Trump%2BEagle.jpg

I thought of that too: variations in transmission. We need the antibody test. It would be cool if 30% of those who contact this virus are spontaneousl...

He was just at the end of his speech.

Who can get enough of this guy? https://d279m997dpfwgl.cloudfront.net/wp/2019/07/AP_19201004713022-1000x667.jpg

I've heard from 1/3 to 1/2 exposed show no symptoms. And then others, yes sometimes young with no medical history, come close to death. It's strange.

We simply don't know yet why some people go through infection without any symptoms. I agree that the descent to death is more likely in a patient with...

Some people become infected or colonized by this coronavirus and have no symptoms. Some become ill enough to die. I think there is a hidden factor inv...

Maybe you could flesh out how you're using "random" and "caused." Random stuff is usually understood to be caused. Things would have been worse if thi...

Those factors are also tied to a certain social setting. People will die in Honduras who wouldn't have died in the US. They'll die from dehydration, h...

The reason you aren't seeing higher mortality among younger people with no underlying health issues is the availability of oxygen, the ability to resu...

It will be sad when they take over Australia.

Yep. Both sides do that to the point that my eyes glaze over at any criticism, which might be bad if I weren't a nihilist. Did you know that horror ge...

Actually there is a theory that mechanical ventilation, which is potentially dangerous for any set of lungs, is particularly hard on COVID-19 lungs. W...

I learned from watching the Texas broadcast that sign language for "viral test kit" is the motion of sticking a q-tip in your nose and swirling it aro...

I always alternate woo hoo' s and oh no's.

It selects for COVID-19 resistant. Still, a COPD patient who has it has a poor prognosis.
