More testing = more cases.

More cases with fewer sick & dying = more nothing burger.

True, but more sick *and* a larger 'percentage' of tests being positive

With a little Monday morning quarterbacking it's possible that all those
people who presented with ILI symptoms and were told to go home, rest,
and drink plenty of fluids actually were COVID-19 cases.

However, in this state due to the shortage of test kits, people were not
tested unless they presented with symptoms. Approximately 1% of those
tested positive.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar.

Yup we have proved if everyone stays home, it slows the spread of the
virus. What we haven't figured out is how we restart our lives without
another outbreak. I have been saying all along, this virus isn't just
going to go away.

Maybe you folks who have been preaching evolution are going to have to
step back and let it work itself out. The weak will die and the strong
will survive. The species will be better for it.
The current sentiment seems to be more about capitalism than
Darwinism. Granny is a revenue stream you don't want to lose. If you
just want to appeal to our "humanity", bear in mind emotion is a
luxury brought to us by capitalism. Primitive cultures put granny on
an ice floe and pushed them out to sea.

But nowhere near the number who died from the flu in the same time
frame.
We also had a very limited role in WWI, We were only in combat there
about a year.

New Zealand, Taiwan, Vietnam and Austria all have.

You lot are too stupid to work it out ?

How odd that SARS and the spanish flu did.

Maybe you folks who have been preaching evolution
are going to have to step back and let it work itself out.

More likely that even the most stupid like the USA
and Brazil etc will eventually noticed how it is done.

The weak will die and the strong will survive.

It was in fact the strong that died like flys with the spanish flu.

The species will be better for it.

It clearly wasnt with the spanish flu.

The current sentiment seems to be
more about capitalism than Darwinism.

This isnt about Darwinism.

Granny is a revenue stream you don't want to lose.

You inherit quicker if she dies earlier, stupid.

And costs the country much less if she dies off early too.

If you just want to appeal to our "humanity", bear in
mind emotion is a luxury brought to us by capitalism.

More utterly mindless silly stuff.

Primitive cultures put granny on an ice
floe and pushed them out to sea.

Dont get that many ice floe in the middle east for some reason.

I doubt the NYT would publish the article today.

"The researchers attributed the widespread decline in health in large
part to the rise of agriculture and urban living. People in South and
Central America began domesticating crops more than 5,000 years ago, and
the rise of cities there began more than 2,000 years ago.

These were mixed blessings. Farming tended to limit the diversity of
diets, and the congestion of towns and cities contributed to the rapid
spread of disease. In the widening inequalities of urban societies, hard
work on low-protein diets left most people vulnerable to illness and
early death."


Nothing changes.

And hunter gatherers get to die like flies in droughts etc.

Nothing changes.

Plenty does in fact change over time. We dont see anyone
dying like flies in famines anymore except where the place
has deteriorated into the most obscene levels of civil war
and civil chaos or have been stupid enough to let some
fool like Kim Jong Il rule the roost.

And even the Chinese dont eat their neighbours children in
the worst famines anymore. Its easier to swap the kids with
the neighbours and eat theirs than to eat your own apparently.

True, but more sick *and* a larger 'percentage' of tests being positive

Never knew people were this dumb.

It's an eye opener isn't it.

It is for me. For years I've heard from Republicans that Democrats
think they are stupid, but I never thought so, until this spring and
now that's what I think about a lot of them.

I talked to my sister in law today. My brother tells me she watches
fox news all day long. Today she told me she thought the Dems were
ruining the economy on purpose. Sounds like something stupid they
would have said on Fox news.

I don't know where my brother is on on all of this.,

That is the narrative being pushed by them, Trump is all about "They're
out to got me" ever since he was elected and the Republicans back him
up on even the most stupid of his claims - even in the face of contrary
evidence. Even going so far as to suppress evidence and testimony in an
impeachment trial.

I don't know where my brother is on on all of this.,

My brother and sister in law vote opposite parties, I think they get
their political views from their fellow congregation members and she is

an AK-47 to hunt deer, I have explained to him over and over again how
that is a stupid democrat notion - both parties have their own lies to

Free of context, I have to agree with your brother. You don't need
an AK-47 to hunt deer.

I suspect, however, that you're indicating he thinks that there are
millions of AK-47s in law-abiding hands in the U.S., and that he
equates any "butch" looking weapon with an AK-47.

The 7.62x39 round is a arguably better choice than the 5.56x45. Most of
the civilian variants of the AK-47 are accurate enough for the 100 yard
or under ranges where a .30-30 is typically used.

You're right though. The next stop past 'you don't need an AK' is 'you
don't need a .30-30' closely followed by 'you don't need a firearm of
any sort'.

Like many issues today the emotions involved have risen to the point
where I don't see a compromise happening.

I counter with "You don't need an AR-15 to make applesauce; neither has
anything to do with the Second Ammendment to the US Constitution."

The liberal lie is that our right to bear arms has anything at all to
do with the right to hunt. State contitutions handle hunting issues. It
is a simple strawman argument the left has mostly bought into.

I suspect, however, that you're indicating he thinks that there are
millions of AK-47s in law-abiding hands in the U.S., and that he

Let's use 'assault style weapon' for the moment. Not needed for
hunting, but *are* needed to fight off rogue government or outside
invaders. Nice to have a handle, multiple load banana 'clip', a
heatsink and rapid fire capability when what you are hunting is also
hunting you with such weapons.
