@loki said in "We want them infected": Herd immunity registers as almost nothing in google trends from 2004 to present except when Covid came along and then it spiked like crazy in April and then several times thereafter. Is there any place to get a number for how often it appeared in the media? Yea about 70% of news articles. After that you stop noticing it

@bachophile said in The circular firing squad: @doctor-phibes tank battalions did not exist in World War One Aha gotcha Yeah, that's what they want you to believe. I know different.

Awful thing to bury your child. I wish them peace and comfort.

I'll have to noodle that one for a while.

@loki said in Aliens exist: So the same people who think we faked the moon landing think we went to Mars? LOL.

F = ma Apparently that still works

@jon-nyc Jon almost sounds sentimental just now. Must be the eggnog talking.

@jolly thanks. Good thought

@mik said in Hey George - they gonna get shed of Lightfoot?: I’m disappointed in the citizens of today. We blithely accept, even expect, that our elected officials will lie to us. Old hat. Louisiana elected a governor they knew was corrupt. But hey, while he was stealing, he was also stealing for us!

That was fun!

@xenon said in That's right bitch. So quit trying.: and formed their opinions mostly on the fact that others in their circle were expressing the same opinion. Good point. In todays world, alot (maybe most) of the people get their news from the internet (and I dont mean reading on line newspapers). And these sites "follow" what you read and what is interesting to you, and just posts more the same type of stuff. After a while for example, if you are far to the right or far to the left, that is the only type of news you read and you lose out on a whole different perspective. Not so good in the long run.

@mik said in "I'm not worried about the virus": Tolerable, eh? Barely. Only a couple days each year.

I wonder if they'll be able to transplant any organ we ask for. Demands for strapadictomies might go through the roof.

I was kind of hoping they'd put all the politicians in a real secure location and then lock the door. On the outside.

Oh, man... we just took a jar of sauce over to a friend and just that few minutes out of the house cleared our sense of smell out. We walked back in and the sauce smell just hit. Oh yum.

At least one of the vaccines will get a bad reputation. If I was selling vaccine it would be OK with me if the other vaccines had a bad reputation. Russian gangsters will sell sugar water labelled as vaccine.

my county is 96% full. not a good time to catch this and get bad sick.

@jolly No longer necessary or economically feasible. We will be able ship to tide water without the Western Canada Select discount on product to the US once we have completed Line 2 of the Trans Mountain pipeline to Vancouver. The days of giving away our upgraded oil are over. https://energynow.com/2020/10/keystone-xl-faces-biden-risk-after-covid-made-project-less-crucial/ https://www.worldoil.com/news/2020/10/27/covid-19-may-finish-keystone-xl-for-good-with-a-little-help-from-biden Besides, the useless conservative provincial government here in Alberta dumped $1.5 billion into KXL last spring to appease their friends and benefactors in the heavy oil industry.

I believe science tells us that the fittest will survive. Why does the government hate science? Just let people fight it out. Money, privilege and fitness will survive. Things will settle down nicely with the right people protected from the virus.
