Right, and this can mean all sorts of things, including ventilators do nothing, ventilators kill, or that ventilators increase your chance of survival...

Either. What scientifically valid study shows that ventilation or hospitalization is an effective treatment for covid 19? If you're going to treat an ...

What they say is: “When I have an early diagnosis and can treat patients early — for example put them on a ventilator before they deteriorate — the ch...

That article offered a variety of reasons for Germany's death rate being lower. The two that stood out the most were (1) the average age of the infect...

Depends on what you mean by "should." If you mean so he could be more accurate, sure. If you mean so that he can get re-elected, I'm not sure. He has ...

I get it. It's supposed to treat a symptom so that that symptom doesn't kill you. My point is that there's no evidence it effectively treats that symp...

Again, if we premise the need for social distancing on the need to pace the infections so that we have sufficient medical care to tend to the sick, yo...

I accept your apology.

You think that only because you don't take seriously my mystical claim that thoughts literally affect outcomes. Tracht gut, vet zein gut. Sure, it's r...

I aim to please.

You guys aren't the red headed stepchildren, so I don't know why you think we'd all turn a blind eye to Arizonian death. I do think you've got nothing...

The Pope's time would be better spent on removing the pedophile rapists from the ranks of his club. As to what he said regarding the earth, I don't kn...

I read that 88% of the people placed on ventilators die. What evidence do we have that our hospitals are doing anything meaningful to save lives? Unle...

I do try to teeter on that fine edge between being profound and being absurd.

Your path crossed theirs for the purpose of elevating you. That's the purpose for everything. It would be hubris to assume you offered more to them th...

Had Sir Kemp (I knighted him) based his decision on godly inspired rhetoric like my own, I'd have been awestruck and fully supportive. As it stands, I...

A laudable but impossible goal, so therefore less laudable than living out the full potential of your own creation, as that you are fully in control o...

That you expected it just means you're a pessimist. I blame you for its failure because you thought evil into existence. Just what kind of monster are...

Sounds boring. If you're stuck in the spinning swirling crashing death spin, you might as well enjoy the ride. Do you want your last breaths to be spe...

The truth is that there's a whole lot of speculating going on and no one knows with any real sense of likelihood what the hell is going to happen. Hum...

I think we all understood the method by which the OP should be answered, which is to reference the book referenced. The question is why you haven't.

Yahweh and Jesus were different characters, so I don't see why they should be considered the same Defendant in this trial you've proposed. It could be...

"One" is a noun (or, more precisely, a pronoun) in the sentence, "I'll have one," where "one" is whatever you were referring to. In the sentence, "I h...

Or better yet, try to figure out the cost before you go so that you can price shop. It's nearly impossible. You're going to have to get a doctor's fee...

Biden had no idea where he was. Isn't that cause for some concern, even if Trump is classless and incompetent? Why should either get a pass?
