BC's recent studies were very telling. Yup. Approaching 100K dead in US in 3 months. Nothing to worry about. Just a seasonal flu... not.

Here's the thing, how many were near death? You should read some of the studies coming out. The mortality rate is very low and the sheep buy it hook, line and sinker. 1 6 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If a hundred years ago you would’ve gone up to someone and said one day we would be riding a sky train while connected to the entire world on a 3” by 5” device with which you could communicate instantly with anyone in the world and even with the people in space... ...you would’ve been put in a straight jacket in the back of a horse carriage and brought to the asylum.

Dr. Crossbar 10,640 Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 I went out downtown with friends tonight. Had a blast. Physical distancing, precautions, and sanitizing were amazing in the pub.

He's not wrong on that part. I was watching a video of how Ferguson has ABSOLUTELY butchered many of these models and predicted numbers out of this world and the long term was completely wrong. He had a MAJOR amount of livestock slaughtered a few years ago, cost the UK economy BILLIONS, and a few others. I am glad the guy got into his scandal and stepped down because his stuff was ridiculously stupid numbers always and created way larger fear than needed, hopefully his replacement can come up with better models in the future.

From January 31st to May 25th, almost 4 months since Covid was truly recognized as the threat it is. Some might argue it was known earlier. Ignore the idea that SARs was to give us a heads up on the issues we would face. What we are faced with today is that Canada and the USA are ramping up their economies. Ramping up because they were never shut down. The challenge with ramping up and thusly increasing the number of people interacting with one another is protection from C-19. What is the status in Canada. Testing and PPE supply is still no where close to adequate. How are we to know what the real situation is without the basics? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
