Not too mention mechanisms are in place to try and prevent car accidents from happening and if they do happen we can treat them. The virus is just a total onslaught that we have no defence for at the moment. Car accidents are relatively spread out and maybe barring a bad weather day they’ll be space in the ER to give care. In some cities with the coronavirus the amount will be many more patients then there is beds. Eventually you’ll have to go in a lottery to decide if you live or die. The coronavirus is a different game then the flu, a car accident or any other comparison. Weird previous post...comparing covid-19 to car crashes. Sheesh...... 9 hours ago, spur1 said: The problem with car accident deaths is just another problem with capitalism. Too much money in the way to change and fix the problem. What do we expect to happen driving fancy buggies on roads designed for horses. Like wake to frig up. YEAH!!! Cuz the Trans Canada Highway was build for horses!! 9 hours ago, spur1 said: Exactly so why are we still using over powered buggies on roads designed by the romans for frigging chariots. I mean really think about it. Our transportation systems are still in the dark ages. Anything over 20 km per hour should be on a rail/tube controlled system. That is something this pandemic is bringing to light, do we really need to travel so much from place to place, or is it just a another thing to do? Why are we bending over backwards for corporations that need us to make them rich when it should be the other way around. Now is a great time to ponder these and many more questions. Just what are we doing here? Apparently you are not a transportation degree graduate. 9 hours ago, spur1 said: Road deaths and our archaic transportation systems have been my pet peeve for years. Why are we still driving on roads designed for horse and buggies. Not to mention adding ridiculous amount of horsepower to speed to our destination in a unnecessary quick amount of time. I mean really what is the rush? Is the world going to end before we get there? Well then, get out of that car you probably drive every day and be an example. But I am sure you are one of those people that always complain about other cars and then you get in your car. Give me a break. Now I am going to get into my new RAM I just bought and go to work. Later bub.... Edit: RAM = 395 hp....LOVE IT!!! 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's interesting how you see this crisis so differently than everyone else, almost as if you have some sort of special insight into the world that no one else does.

"Fun Fact" is clearly an idiom so don't try to nit pick. You have been repeatedly downplaying this virus because the numbers aren't significant compared to other causes of death. "look how many people die from car accidents! 1.35million per year - that's 3700 per day!" - comments like that have an under tone of you trying to minimize covid, because if there is no minimizing in the comment there is no relevance to the conversation. The [FUN] fact that covid killed 3718 people yesterday just makes your comment look foolish and [even more] irrelevant. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's there to take the pressure off by treating patients with other issues, allowing the existing NYC hospitals to concentrate on patients who have the virus. It's a pretty impressive ship. Basically a floating hospital, with 1000 beds and 12 operating rooms. (I think that was the number they quoted) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All that matters to him is what makes him look good for re-election. That’s it. If Dump was an actual mature and responsible person, he’d rise above the cacophony of the press and provide support to all levels of government without needing praise or recognition. It’s all about what he can get out of it for himself and his wealthy benefactors. I know this is probably not the right thread for this comment, but I wonder if in the end Trump uses this as a way to postpone the election? Can't really have primary's to find an opponent, and I all the people voting might go against social distancing. Just things I've been thinking about. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally could care less (well, except for the children that had no choice but go with their parent) about them getting sick. Problem is, not only is there a good chance they'll just clog up all the hospital beds with their ignorant butts but infect a ton of other innocent people along the way. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My mistake - allow me to rephrase that: pretty well everyone else. I mean, you're still throwing shade any chance you can to downplay the severity when data and health professionals across the world say differently. I haven't heard any credible sources or voices agreeing with your comparisons and contrarian stance with the pandemic; this gif comes to mind... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
