Matched a woman a few weeks ago who is probably an age-adjusted "7". Claims to be an actual sapiosexual and is excited to have found someone who fills that bill. She's coming over Thursday evening, and unless the IRL chemistry is way off, she is totally DTF. That or she is the most convincing...

Those 37,000 deaths are only that low due to "flattening the curve" measures done for automobile safety: seat belts, air bags, crumple zones, to name a few. Since there is such an effort to make cars as safe as possible, I would argue that we don't find those deaths entirely acceptable. (And...

Dude, what's with the fear strawman? Must everyone who doesn't think like you be a fragile cowering snowflake? That your go-to argument every time? I guess it must work with women... Very few people in my social circle are motivated by fear in these circumstances. Mindful concern for their...

Who the f*ck are you to say that I'm afraid or lonely? Jesus f*cking Christ that is the lamest ad-hominem I've seen in awhile. You really try hard to miss the point don't you? For the record, I am neither. If this pandemic takes me, so be it. In the meanwhile I'm working my ass off for...

1-4: no data from you at all other than unfounded assertions. My sources: https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/country/us/ https://www.asirt.org/safe-travel/road-safety-facts/ ps: what is the R-naught of car crashes?

Facts? Ummm... 38,000: US car fatalities per year. 38,000: US COVID-19 fatalities in the past two months. Never mind it's yet another bullsh1t comparison intended to hold frame. Car crashes are not contagious. But keep on with those facts and brain-frozen (oops, I mean cold) thinking.

Nice frame-holding. You never did answer my quite reasonable question, which I'll rephrase: Why is it you hold the position that face coverings worn by civilians during a pandemic is futile, when standard medical practice is that face coverings are recommended for symptomatic people in an...

Nice reference. Twitter. Gosh. Any evidence that truly-vital cases are being turned away in healthcare systems that are below capacity? From what I read, any under-utilization is due to the postponement of elective and non-critical procedures. Which is prudent in the current circumstances,

I will make the following observation (and while I'm quoting @redskinsfan92, it's not really directed at him personally): This group is really good at holding frame. Great job everyone! I'd also suggest that we perhaps save our energy for holding frame with women, not each other, but I...

I think it's reasonable to say that the govt (at least the executive branch of the fed) was openly reluctant to recommend economically-damaging social restrictions, and was then arguing to lift those recommendations before Easter. From that perspective, I'd say @EyeBRollin is in fact actively...

Agreed. That plus repurposing other wards of the hospital, restructuring how outpatient practices in the system operate, etc. The system my ex works in did several weeks of things like this in order to maximize capacity the best they could. If things are not bursting at the seams in such a...

I have a once-in-a-blue-moon match from OLD that would totally come over and be DTF if I caved and invited her. Outright advertises on her profile that she doesn't want a relationship, but rather a FWB arrangement. But even in normal times I would have issues: I'm guessing she's early 40's...

I see this as a bit of looking at this from a personal health standpoint vs a Public Health standpoint, which are very different ways of looking at things. And for the record, Rick, despite our occasional disagreement I respect a lot of what you post here. You're not wrong. Strictly speaking...

And yet my ex (who is a primary care physician) is being tapped to pinch-hit for the hospitalists to handle the uptick here. But I'm sure it's a hoax.

Heh, I remember a FB post from not long ago: "Last week was the longest month of my life!" As for taking its sweet time, I feel exactly the same way. Which is why it's all the more astonishing to think back and remember that it was only about one month ago that the sh1t really started to hit...

Or... it could be a real, dire situation where a lot of people will get hurt in various ways (their health, their finances, perhaps their life). And it could also be that those in power are using it to their advantage. Doesn't have to be one or the other. The latter doesn't necessarily...

I have a second box of 50 disposable masks ordered. Mostly because I want to ensure I have enough (I'm assuming they're not terribly durable), plus I can use them later. I've also already shared some of the original box with my GF and other friends who had nothing at all.

Not sure I agree with his assertion of 0.2%, seems pulled out of thin air. That said, he's dead straight that the real disaster is that it got to the point where we have to do mitigation rather than containment. Unfortunately it will take a several orders of magnitude increase in testing to be...

Well, smoking death rate is neck and neck with COVID-19 death rate. If culling is the goal, then let's get everyone to smoke, just like the good old days.

Except from what I've been reading, it's not about filtering out the virus particles, which is why any face covering will do. Airborne transmission (via aerosols) is different than droplet transmission. Face coverings are primarily about reducing the spread of droplets from the wearer. My...
