COVID?

Yeah COVID related.
It hasn’t been a great few months in the NBA but over there it’s going to get worse before getting better.

Lockdowns are currently the only successful method to have a chance to survive once infectious rate rapidly increases (which this sky rockets quickly).

 

[Furious1]

Has it been confirmed anywhere yet that after infection you cannot get it again?

Not to belittle this blokes mums passing which of course is tragic, there are 24,500 sad stories in the US and 120,000 sad stories worldwide. I for one welcome our overlords protecting us and keeping our sad stories down to 61 so far.

I have him on ignore but remember when Hangon said

*Are we going to stay inside until we get an effective vaccine for the flu, malaria, tuberculosis, or parasites like Chagas, elephantiasis, hookworm or liver flukes?

What about Nipah, Lassa or M.E respitory syndrome?

Lyme, West Nile, Zika, Hepatitis C?

What about respitory syncytial virus?*

Shit, I bet most people haven’t even heard of half of these, you’ll never go outside again.

Influenza killed 34,000 last year in the US
RSV killed 14,000 in the US
None of the other diseases can be caught without exchange of bodily fluids in the US (or here).

So that is 35,400 deaths in 12 months. In 2 months COVID has killed 25,000.....but there is nothing to worry about, its just our overlords oppressing us.

Yep and after all that he has now admitted he is social distancing, just not because he was told to! He is doing because he cares about others, not like the rest of us who are doing it because we are ordered to!

Sorry everyone, I shouldn't have engaged but that got me so worked up tonight! I'll try to not get caught up again!

Mate, Im with you. At first I thought he was trolling but I think he really thinks he is right. Ive ignored him. Works well (although I acknowledge I havent let it go yet....Im working on it). My apologies as well for stinking up the thread.

I'm really against putting people on ignore, I'm not here to build my own echo chamber and quite like getting the opportunity to debate different ideas and points of view. As I'm sure you are aware you and I have been on the opposite sides of a few issues on here, I like hearing others views and agreeing or disagreeing with those. I've even had my opinions changed in a number or discussions on here.

Exactly, I remember you and I long disagreement and that resulted I believe in mutual respect of each others held beliefs. I have had many disagreements and discussions with a few here and before this bloke there was only one guy I didnt come out of it with any respect and that guy at least had the self awareness to let it go when it was done. I didnt have to ignore that bloke but I just dont engage with him.

This bloke is a different story and I didnt have any choice but to put him on ignore. But I agree with you on the principle of it.

 

[Furious1]

Jeezus, stop weeing in each others pockets about disagreeing to agree blah blah bla. You both had and do have very valid points. Hangers is entitled to his opinion, no matter how selfish it is. Keep up the good graphs Tiges, very informative,

Na, before I wasn't sure, but the doggedness, the inability to budge on from simple points, the insistence on arguing everything whilst professing to be a hippy?? It's smokinggun2 for sure. I've met a few self-professed hippies over the years, opinionated, dogged, anti-authority yeah sure, but this blatant disrespect for others just doesn't fit.

The person joined late last year, what was smokinggun2 up to then?

Making crap up about all the things he didn't know

I just read some of this early posts, and I'm not convinced now. Not much positives to say back then but that was fair enough really after our end to the year.

Comes across recently as an argumentative person who just likes to stir trouble. Not the first person here, won't be the last.

Huh???? With all the deaths worldwide you guys are deeply saddened by the death of an NBA players mother who you don't know. I'm sure she would have had excellent medical treatment given that she was an NBA players mother unlike the millions in america who get no treatment. I feel more saddened for them.

Oh so true!

Millions upon millions of Americans are still not getting the testing that they need and likely a good number of them dying as a result, but definitely a lot more than the total we have lost here. For anyone that is interested, see below to find that even though New York has been testing at levels unparalleled by most worldwide, they are still not testing anywhere near enough, despite having a positive result from more than 40% of them.

The big thing for me is that because of this, New York expects that, per the text below in the first screenshot, there are more than another third of their already horrific numbers that need to be added.

A Special Commission Of Inquiry to be undertaken by Brett Walker SC into the Ruby Princess matter. It will be interesting to read the TOR. I liked the retort from the Premier to a journalist that the Government has no power to instruct Bret Walker about the investigation.

We learnt from the Premier there are now considered to be criminal aspects to this matter and this was determined on Sunday by the Commissioner.

All evidence uncovered by the Police is also to be made available to Bret Walker.
