Where was Bin Laden killed again? And that's not the only instance US forces were active in Pakistan. In fact they blew up their Pakistani allies by a...

Obama didn't close Guantanomo Bay. He expanded the war into Pakistan without approval from the Senate and Congress. I'm sure there's more but those ar...

Woohoos and d'ohs for me.

Wrong analysis I'm afraid. Politically this is the smartest move; everything bad can be blamed on covid-19.

Thanks. I actually started with the one before that. Looking into getting a kf94 mask now, which unfortunately may not be exported from Korea or Taiwa...

I'm sure it was done legally but I don't see how yet. Prima facie it seems to be a breach of the holding period as described here: https://www.sec.gov...

Latest news from the Netherlands is that an expected 3% of the population has antibodies against the coronavirus. That meas about 500.000 people in th...

There's a reading group already that you can join. And online discourse just isn't discourse 99% of the time. Especially in politics. I stick around f...

You're both fulfilling social roles. You give a compliment, the receiver thanks you. Social theatre concludes. Everybody feels better.

"Indian poor cannot afford a lock down" - heading off today's online newspaper in the Netherlands. I guess that will be another abject lesson soon abo...

And yet the weight of evidence is still that it was a natural cause. I also fail to see the relevance really. As if having a lab and animal testing ar...

If I have a virus with spread 2.4 per week and in one country there are 2 million people and in another 10 million. Where doing nothing is the worst y...

Oooh. We got an answer we didn't like so let's have another investigation. Let's do the same with Trump shall we? Hypocrisy again.

More stupidity. The quality of healthcare doesn't affect outcomes where it concerns a virus we don't have an effective treatment for. Universal health...

No, it isn't because the person asked to investigate it already concluded that they were justified in their investigation and he had that information....

It's good to see you so unforgiving about failures. Oh wait. :rofl: The hypocrisy is just too funny since you lack any ability at introspection to see...

From the December report that concluded the FBI was justified in its investigation. So it's neither news nor important.

Is it true the 1200 USD cheques were delayed because Trump wanted his name printed on it?

Breitbart's comments section.

It really is too early to tell how countries did because policy who to test carry rather wildly. The Netherlands only tests severe cases, healthcare w...

The answer is no. Although blood can have a viral load and therefore a Covid patient shouldn't be donating blood, it is in such low concentration and ...

No.

News of the EU collapsing are grossly exaggerated. The Netherlands and other EU countries refused to subsidise economic bailouts of Italian companies ...

Then send a PM next time. Its a public forum remember?

That comment made no sense.

It's not just the death rate. It's the number of people requiring hospital care and intensive care and for how long. Flu and related symptoms resultin...

How so? Most scientific bodies warned of the dangers of a pandemic in this specific case very early on. I'm sure the numbers from certain countries ar...

Doesn't this still imply reconfiguring the hedonistic lifestyle? If we want a cleaner world we should consume less... Or if we want to avoid pandemics...

Curious. That doesn't sound like a loan to me.

So, all Asians are unfit according to you?

Watched it and missing the point apparently! :lol: :chin: Nice short though. Thanks.

Too bad you're not living a 100 years from now for that motto to work in your favour.

The Democratic incompetence on display. If you can't win from Trump after this corona fiasco you need to disband.

What's going on with France? I thought they were in lock down early as well but the death toll is still so high.

What amazes me is that the US is so polarised that Republicans actually think Trump is doing a good job with regards to Corona.

Palliative care at home is possible in the Netherlands. It beats dying alone. Some older people in the Netherlands opted for it.

Cool. Good luck. The personal tragedies are terrible. There are good reasons now not to go to the hospital so that at least your last moments can be w...

Well, that's one country that's learned from this.

We had a weekend everyone went to the beach despite the clear advice by the government and experts to stay home. That was in the same week everyone ap...

How often do i need to get lucky to make you a believer in my predictive powers?

As predicted: https://thephilosophyforum.com/discussion/comment/398284 Maybe I am the new Nostradamus! :yum: From the same article : The discussion is...

Due to shortages we've been asked to donate all masks and gloves to hospitals. Shortages that are now exacerbated by predatory practices in the market...

This is proof they didn't take it seriously. According to the report the USA had all the means to combat a pandemic most effectively and yet it (and t...

First of, what we've done in the past isn't reason to continue doing it but I can imagine you're in favour of reintroducing slavery as well on that ba...

Look it up on worldometers.info

I've explained before that that is for the benefit of other readers. This is you: "I don't know what racism means" and after it is explained "that's p...

All the nationalists must be wringing their hands at the moment. They gain popularity after each recession.

oooh, trying to goad me now? I told you I don't take you seriously. The day you have a consistent thought I'll grace it with more attention than a smi...
