Are you starting a pool?
THIS book - my copyâs falling apart but still readable.
What is special about 60,000?
I keep hearing that number as how many may die in the US. First they thought 2 million, then it kept getting smaller as models were tuned. Trump and co. have used the uncertainty as another excuse to revile experts and reopen the economy sooner rather than later.
Now Fauci is stating there will be a second wave:
Praying he didnât wash his hands, gets sick, gives it to Trump, and then to all the other assholes down the line of succession so we have Pelosi as pres.
Odd, I kept seeing numbers in that range thrown around by the âitâs no worse than the fluâ crowd (entirely ignoring that 1: 60k is the number for the worst recent flu season, and 2: the speed at which corona has been both infecting people and killing people is far worse)
âIâm not losing to Joe Biden,â Trump said at one point
Yeah, bend reality to your delusion. Not like itâs the first time.
He said that last week:
Trump and the various governors will prove him wrong.
The second wave will be in summer.
So long as we still have hotspots in commercial business centers we will keep getting waves.
âFrankly I would call it forcibly imprisoning people in their homes against all their constitutional rightsâŚthatâs my opinion,â Tesla boss Elon Musk, who has been opposed to the lockdown measures, told investors in an earnings call on Wednesday.
Yeah, but whenâs that? What with climate change and allâŚwe had a 70F day in SE Michigan in March (we usually have them in January or February)!
Reminds me of this tirade on FBâŚof course, only a photo on his profile, no transparency whatsoever:
âHow is it that Americans got to the point of being crippled by fear, just because they were told to? How is it that Americans became so hateful towards others that refused to join them? Life is dangerous. For everyone. Life ends. For everyone. So what do we do until then? Cower in our beds all day and never face life? The modern progressive leftist sure would like to. If weâre to beat this virus, it will be in the manner that nature has always provided for us to do; by developing antibodies through exposure. Yes, some of us, as always, will die in this process. And yes, every death is tragic. So hate on the grand architect of nature and our existence if you must. The rest of us are still going to carry and live on - until we donât. And if we as a species are unable to surmount this biological obstacle and it does us in, well, you leftists trembling in fear and demanding the rest of us do as well with you, are the same leftists who despise humanity to begin with and equate humanity with a scourge upon this earth anyway. So hey, what are you bitching about now, for? You finally got your wish to come true.â
Was this a Musk rant or someone else?
Christ what an asshole. That someone would think anyone would wish for a pandemic like this (with all the missteps at high levels) has got to have a couple screws loose (or maybe a better metaphor would be âtightened far beyond specs with a power torque wrenchâ).
I think we can safely name these assholes âthe Death Panel wing of the Republican Partyâ.
Nah, a friend of a friend on FB. I donât get why folks let these people on their friends lists, let alone why they even bother to even KNOW them in the first place, honestly.
Yeah, except that thereâs not any force involved. And youâre allowed to go out, so long as you avoid doing things that are particularly dangerous to yourself and others. So, really, nothing like that at all.
These jackasses are so tiringâŚ
