That same one which killed 12k people. Funny how exponential shit gets when that number column moves just ONCE to the left. Wait, your article says .6%. Not .06%. You do realize the HUGE difference between those two, correct? OK...in this case zeroes are not my friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not really. We're talking about a crisis and you had the number wrong by an order of 10 I'm not even trying to "get you". I'm just clarifying. I like numbers. I wanted to see what was in that article, as there seemed to be posters on two different sides. I just saw your posted number was wrong. Not meant to "get you".

Being wrong by, quite literally, 10 fold, is not a "gotcha moment". I just had to tell another nurse friend of mine to delete a facebook post that detailed how this was all media driven and it's basically not bad at all and it's only because it's "election year". Mostly because if she's wrong, as a medical professional, that personal post on FB can be used as material to fire her ass should things go even further sideways.

Yeah it's shitty to politicize a lot of things (which we see on here all of the time), but to politicize a literal pandemic (which has also happened on here) seems especially irresponsible.

Their followers are. A bunch of people are. And for the majority of the country in the middle that isn't on the fringes, pole riding their party, it's pretty stupid.

What has Trump done that compares to Pelosi holding up the coronavirus legislation to try to get in pro abortion legislation? I thought Trump seemed to minimize the virus threat early on but he had a good reason not to induce panic in the public and that is understandable. What Pelosi did is more of the democrat playbook of never letting a crisis go to waste and you are right this is not the time to play games.

I mean Trump took to Twitter to go after Biden when this virus first started. Not to mention pretty much straight up lying on Twitter (tho I guess that isn't new). Not to mention your Pelosi claims are allegations from unnamed White House officials in an article that originated on a right wing website. Plus I can find articles that say basically the complete opposite, that Republicans held up talks because they wanted pro life language in there. Both stories are out there. Whatever happened there the bill passed pretty quickly so I'm sure it was blown out of proportion to get the basis worked up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a big difference between what I posted and your example above. My post was a positive one that showed how South Korea was showing the way with massive testings and their mortality rate was not showing nearly as high as China's. I got the decimal point wrong admittedly but the article I linked had it correct. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

calfoxwc Posted March 16, 2020 Report Share Posted March 16, 2020 so, last time I went to the store, yesterday morning, I brought more green tea. And, I bought a ginger/lime/White hybiscus tea. Great for immunity. I made myself some - I like it strong - but this stuff tasted like fermented horsecrap with a lot of black pepper. Way too much ginger, which I don't like anyways. what in the ... dammit. Had to toss it in the sink, and I'll throw it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
