The average age of someone who dies of/with COVID is 81 or so, likewise, with aggravating conditions or circumstances. What’s to stop me from applying your same logic to those people? I’m not really just trying to point out that it’s killing children. I’m saying we are being myopic about this whole thing. There are adults dying, too. People are committing suicide, or abusing drugs. We’ve saddled our children and grandchildren with massive debt through these stimulus checks (about $60k per family). I shouldn’t have to say this, but I’m not minimizing the losses that people have suffered. I just want to point out that the way to get through this shouldn’t be a top down, technocratic protocol because the calculations of a few pale in comparison to the capacity of every person on earth making decisions for the good of themselves and their families.

I'm not sure that we disagree in theory. What I'm saying is that each nation has to decide what is in the best interests of their own people and I agree that there's no one size fits all solution. Those nations with problems with malaria and other diseases need to be making covid policies with those issues in mind and that should effect what policies they come up with. They should also be opening up alternative distribution methods for items people would normally get from places that are shut down but those are issues for their leaders. We can help with whatever excess resources we have but we can't decide their policies for them.

As for us, the problem is that with a virus we do have to make those decisions in a more top down manner because it's communicable. That means we need state and federal guidelines more than we normally would. It doesn't mean that those policies need be applied in a one size fits all manner. If we'd drop the politicization of the whole thing we could come up with sensible solutions for the differences in each area at least to some degree. However, we have to design those policies with the whole in mind. When we're all in the same boat and assigned to quarters or sectors of the boat the guy who decides to drill a massive hole in the hull will sink us all even when it's within his designated space.

I can’t believe John Kelly didn’t pan out on the NFL

Kinda shocks me, too. Part of the problem, imo, was that the Rams wanted to use up Gurley and only Gurley at RB, as quick as they could and they succeeded. They blew that Super Bowl, too, suddenly becoming all conservative and their window has slammed shut and Gurley is a shell of the RB, he was

Is he out? Surely, someone will pick him up. He seems like the kinda RB that could fit almost anywhere as an extra back that will give you solid production.

John Kelly Stats, News & Video - RB | NFL.com

My bad. Still shows as being on the Rams but I could’ve sworn I read or heard he had been cut.

Still, shocked he’s only averaging less than 3 yards per attempt. Really hope he turns it around.

Aren’t you homeschooling this year? By the way, we just decided to as well. We’re going a non-traditional route. Because we aren’t traditional teachers. We’re excited, and VERY nervous. Considering it a “one-off” year but we’ll let it run its course.

I don’t think their economies are isolated from us, so I’d say the shutdown here necessarily causes hardship there. Also, I think foreign aid is immoral because it usually comes in the form of food, which causes agriculture to become neglected. I think that’s why they suffer in times like these.

KCHD says false positive COVID-19 tests counted as positive as precaution

Is this true Knox folks? Article says 30 out of every 100 positives are misdiagnosed.

Or the other way? It says for every 100 people that actually have it, 30 are misdiagnosed. So, 70 positives, but actually 100 sick. False-positives are rare with the PCR, but false-negatives are all over the place.

"The PCR test has a 30 percent false-negative rate,” Gosh said. “So you might test negative, but you may not really know that you’re negative.”

The links above are FYI. I found them on the Texas Medical Association website. I don’t approve or dispute anything above, just a public service announcement...don’t kill the messenger more than VN usually does 😷

Top one is a decision tree for COVID-19 exposure and testing.
Middle one is a risk assessment chart.
Bottom is a symptom log.

Use as you see fit, not intended for weaponization in the mask vs no mask battles being waged.

I finally got on board with masking. Picked this one up the other day. Feel like a hero whenever I go somewhere
