Can somebody just stick a screwdriver in his eye?

He's totally unequipped to be a leader.

Testing any kind of treatment takes time. Patients have to be enrolled and data has to be collected. The reason we do it that way is that if the drug ...

I was just doing cultural psychology (like Nietzsche or Freud). We can look at goodness as something reached for, something I want, or my society coll...

Yep. So why did the Greeks eventually take the opposite position: that freedom is the higher good (I'm thinking of their characterization of the Persi...

Genesis is saying that defiance of the will of God was the original sin. It's granting that there is free will, but the highest good is to turn away f...

I don't think you understood the problem regarding flattening the curve.

Yep. You're like the US, it's always ok to be abusive toward you.

Americans spell is "defense" you troll.

:grimace:

Maybe the NHS is ready to kick ass.

That is everybody's strategy. We just want it to spread in slow motion.

:) I was trying to say I don't think it will open up into a depression unless there's something else wrong. Accidently witty.

Or just get a sex change. They say it's easier on women because their immune systems are naturally stronger.

He supposedly likes having an enemy to fight against. Associates have said he creates conflict where there is none because of that. The virus is invis...

It should recover, unless like a dying COVID-19 patient, it has an underlying disease.

No, you were trying inject racism into the conversation. Once the virus appeared in humans, it was destined to become global.

I use those little floss on a stick things. I don't like getting my twinkies contaminated. It's not that the government cares about me. They're worrie...

No, I just had a crown put on one of my teeth and my dental insurance doesn't pay for shit. I want the money.

Treated?

The fact that the stock market reacted to predictions tells you it's only loosely bottom up. The things we do to comfort the market are usually symbol...

One theory is that concentration of wealth eventually makes the banking system unstable. Banks have to lend money to survive, so when wealth is concen...

True. It's just surprising.

A steroid would diminish immune function. But ibuprofen? That's wacky.

Prednisone?

Yea, you're talking about emergency room testing. Emergency rooms already have a battery of tests they perform on people who come in with respiratory ...

And why are American doctors still resistant to testing, Dr Baden?

So far, what's worked best is extensive testing and quarantine. But keep updating us on your your great ideas about 'total lockdown'.

ICU doctor gets love from reddit

But he's superfluous. I saw a Trump supporter say that a while back: that the trolls aren't actually accomplishing anything. I discounted it at the ti...

I tried to discuss stuff with you in the past. That's why I don't now.

Your characterization of Nos as a functional spokesperson for the Trump administration is also wrong. I take it you don't actually read anything he wr...

Since any number of people can act as spokesperson for the health ministry, the person is unidentified. The fact that they aren't named tells you this...

Again: there's no name. This person is named, but can't confirm anything other than that the story is being talked about. So you did it again. You con...

I'm totally ready to stand corrected here. I didn't see where the story was confirmed by anyone else. That the story is being talked about: that was c...

The health minister can and did confirm that the story is a bona fide rumor. When I first saw the story, it caught my attention that the source was un...

The original source was unnamed. The official you refer to merely stated that he "heard" from several other unnamed people that the story is true. Are...

The original source was unnamed. You appeared to deny that. The only thing that drops your credibility more than putting up false information is subse...

You gave out incorrect info while attempting to correct someone. It happens.

You'll know after it happens? Cool.

Did you really dream that?

Less than we thought.

Per the NYT for every known case of covid-19, there are 5-10 asymptomatic carriers. This is based on data from China. So containment was never possibl...

They had no effect, so there's no reason to punish anyone.

Wealth de-concentrates during depressions. We haven't had one in a while, so I'd easily believe we're at a peak. We're all one conglomerate, that's wh...

:cool:

During the early Bronze Age when civilizations first appeared, humans organized themselves similarly to beehives. Workers in the fields brought the pr...

If you were going to paint a picture of the sound of a fart, what colors would you use? Don't say brown.

There is hospice in the UK. It's separate from longterm nursing care. I think you meant that workers for a longterm nursing facility avoided work beca...

A hospice facility isn't a care home. It's palliative care. Aren't you British?
