I certainly agree with that.It is tyrannical to force everyone to lockdown.
Good analogy.We basically used a nuclear warhead to kill a fly and the fly is still alive.
This shamdemic is absolutely political.It's clear to anyone with a rational brain that this pandemic is 50% political.
HA! That's a good one! You mean it is not a rant that gets deleted, because you are a Trumper. It's like Chinese internet around here, support great leader or you don't get to exist.This is not a political rant by any means
Not true, overzealous moderator @billtx49 deleted my post as well and it was barely political. I merely pointed out that Biden is a manchurian candidate that isn't even trying to win. And I pointed out that Breadline Bernie was also a manchurian candidate that was just playing his role as well - his role was to purposely lose so as to further the narrative that the progressive left is unelectable and therefore must fall in line with the establishment democrats. It's deja vu of 2016.HA! That's a good one! You mean it is not a rant that gets deleted, because you are a Trumper. It's like Chinese internet around here, support great leader or you don't get to exist.
Yes, I confess that I deleted your political post. Mention the names Bernie, Biden, Trump, Democrat, and Republican in the same post, It’s Political.Not true, overzealous moderator @billtx49 deleted my post as well and it was barely political.
Nature at work . Are you going to save all the wildebeast from getting eaten by lions?Are you asymptomatic, experience mild symptoms, or you just didn't catch the virus yet? Different people, from all walks of life, including children, very healthy marathon runners at a young age, all across the board are dying horribly from this virus. Sure, lots of people are asymptomatic or have few symptoms but they can pass them to healthy people who can end up dying, that's almost akin to murder.
You don't care about 1 million or 10 million lives? See your example just keeps going higher in body-count. Why did you stop at 10 million? Why not stop at 100 million or half the population, or 3/4 of the population, or how about just leave a million survivors? Where do you draw the line?
Tell that to people who work no. cruise ship, entertainment, casino , airlines etcMoney can be made again. The dead can't be brought back.
Nevertheless, I don't have all the answers on this. Everyone seems to want to be right about it and there will be plenty of confirmation bias on both sides when it's all over (or diminished). Bottom line, there's nothing you or I can really do about it other than act in our best interests based on the information we have.
Unemployment at 20% is a fact .If COVID 19 is a lie, then the economic crash could also be a lie.
All the restaurants, theaters, casinos, gyms, airports etc in the country are closed, which means people are unemployed...... That's observable....How do you know?
In debate, we would call your statement "How do you know that?" a bear trap. I saw that you were hoping for a response of "The news reported it" or "The gov reported it" then you would respond with something like: "The news/gov reported COVID19 as well, why dont you believe that."I'll preface this by saying that I don't mean that anyone is right or wrong.
If you went to a hospital you would also observe people with COVID 19. I know at least one person who had it. So what? What someone observes does not equal the statistic that unemployment may be 20%. This is data that was supplied either by the media or gov't through media, and you either choose to accept or reject it. And some unaffected people are panicking over it, just like unaffected people panicked over the disease.
People often show their credulity and incredulity depending on what makes them feel good or correct. Watch the confirmation bias run rampant in the coming weeks on both sides. Of course both sides might be correct (or incorrect), but most people can't seem to hold competing thoughts in their head.
You dont have billions of people in USA. We are talking about the America right?Nature at work . Are you going to save all the wildebeast from getting eaten by lions?
I do care . I care about the billions who will get affected by losing their jobs and livilihoods If this lockdown continues.
My neighbour across out street died from it. People are better off economically for now because the government money is better than gig or self employment. We have a universal income.experiment that may become policy if a more left wing government comes into power. In fact many people here want the government money to continue and like this.In debate, we would call your statement "How do you know that?" a bear trap. I saw that you were hoping for a response of "The news reported it" or "The gov reported it" then you would respond with something like: "The news/gov reported COVID19 as well, why dont you believe that."
I saved you the trouble and got straight to the point: we can observe mass unemployment because businesses are closed and we all know someone (relative, friend or neighbor) that's lost their job. But none of us know of anyone that's got COVID19....
Doesnt it seem odd that if this virus is so fast-spreading and so lethal that we would at least know of someone in our own personal lives that's died from it?
And if the argument is that most people who contract it are asymptotic then that just proves lockdown was never necessary to begin with....
Again, COVID19 is 100% political.
