I have been here a long time but only found that out fairly recently. Ohhh, thank goodness. I thought there were more moderators than posters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet we're destroying businesses and people's lives over this. Just doesn't add up! over 220,000 dead in 7 months....it's destroying lives in many ways. 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WHO dashboard Since we are off the rails.... in the US about 8meg cases and 220k+ dead so for roughly every 40 cases someone dies.... which about matches the above. Just another way of looking at the “great” percentage.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thing those youngsters are not contagious..... guess my college age nephew should have visited his grandfather when he (nephew) caught it. And I’ve been told no guarantee the nephew won’t have lung issues later in life. His case was that severe.

That’s twice yesterday I did that... my bad (again). and as long as we can avoid the partisan finger pointing I have no problem. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted October 24, 2020 Share Posted October 24, 2020 I’m more than willing to be confrontational, but this is not the place. Like you, dans, I have become disappointed here more often than I would like. I just never found pessimism attractive. Too depressing. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
