Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

Disagree. I think inaction is better than obstructive action like this, but I don’t think the “guy in charge” is going to get a pass on actions he didn’t take. Inaction is going to be seen as being as bad as ineffectiveness, IMO.

The guy in Mississippi is mandating masks in specific counties with outbreaks. Can Kemp not do that?

What’s better vs what’s smart politically smart can, and often are, two very different things.

I meant “better“ in the political sense, the phrase about him getting a pass and the thing about how things would be seen were meant to convey that.

Why do we wear bubble suits for Ebola vs Covid? Ebola is 10x larger in size. Why can't he just wear a mask?

This notion will get buried or laughed at, but I’ve wondered if there wasn’t something to this...

I did.

Where are all the yanks vacationing this summer?

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

Evidently you dont. Of course you stand by your 3.9, correct?

I do stand by that calculation. 3.9% of individuals that test positive for covid die.

And you may want to read up on the numerous different approaches school systems were looking at to overcome that problem. Rotating days, temporary structures etc..

I have one kid going to college, elementary, and pre k......I am well aware of the different measures. However, how does that protect teachers or other support staff at the school. Those are the most vulnerable.

 

[titansvolsfaninga]

We are living in a world where the Publix cashier, the liquor store stocker, and the Togo specialist at Applebee’s are essential but teachers aren’t. We should remind the teachers union of that the next time they biatch and moan about pay etc

Teachers are very essential, but classes can be held virtually.....can you eat virtually?

That is not mortality rate.

Well donald and pence are talking to Fauci now, so he is good. It takes a while for the hatred of the cult members to subside. Give them a minute.

That is the mortality rate as Georgia calculates it. There is a crude mortality rate that the CDC uses that uses total population and deaths.

Is that how the death rate is calculated?

Then you haven’t been reading the studies about transmission rates from child to adults. If the baseline is no one will get sick and die, then that’s a pretty baseline. The risk is minimal. Hell the unions know this. See Los Angeles and their demands.

Maybe that old expression about Nero has a positive connotation, down there.

There’s some truth to that

That is CFR not mortality rate.

 

[Sandman 423]

That hilariously backfires on the maker, and you for reposting.

It calls a person an idiot. Singular. Yet it cites the plural "them" to make its point about a single person.

Additionally, it refers to person "lacking" math skills, when it means "lacks."

Maker also means "Adopts," not "Adopt."

And in last sentence refers to "them" for the definition of a singular "idiot."

Basically, the meme demonstrates that the maker is a moron at several levels. And that makes me laugh since the maker is calling out someone else (someones?) as an idiot.

Thanks Karen

You can deflect all you want and blame Georgia if you like, but 3.9% isnt in the ballpark.

Ebola is very very virulent. It's infection/death ratio is 50%.

Grethe Rask,the first doctor to die of AIDS(Died on December 12th 1977) caught it in Zaire while investigating Ebola. She cut herself with medical equipment that was cleaned in a pan of water.

Wow, I just read up on her. That's tragic.

Home Depot
Car wash
Dry cleaner

All essentials

Not teachers

The whole essential vs nonessential was BS.

Oreos and Doritos are not essential.

If this was serious enough to shut the country down the NG could have dropped a 25 lb bag of rice off at everyone's house.

My recommendation when this all started was that we shut it down for three weeks and the NG deliver bologna, cheese, and a loaf of bread once a week.

Edit: ... because I like bologna and cheese sandwiches more than rice.

I think we can all agree, except NG and lilreb, that even during non COVID times NG should be delivering our groceries to us.
