@taiwan_girl said in Previous Pandemics: @Copper said in Previous Pandemics: So the assumption is that the shutdown has had some effect. I think it has. I think without the shutdown and other "social" things in place worldwide, the dead toll would be much higher. What do you think Copper? I have no basis for that kind of speculation. I know just about everyone is an expert on this, but I think that at some point just about everyone is speculating. Which is, of course, to be expected. It would be nice if we knew for sure. If we did we could take the appropriate action. We shut everything down with only slightly less information than we have now opening up. I think it is reasonable to assume the lock-down hurt a lot of people financially. Maybe it will help in the long run.

I think something similar was suggested using kazoos.... if only... talent finds a way.

No

Everything else causes climate change, I suppose the virus could too.

Self-aware Awesome

This is all a good thing.

I thought it was the Democrats who were generally brain dead. Maybe Covid isn't the only thing that's contagious.

Looks like there are some other great titles in the series! https://www.amazon.com/Brendas-Beaver-Needs-Barber-Books-Season-ebook/dp/B06XWXM52P

They may shit in the woods, but they're sure not going to be using any of our precious toilet paper.

@Doctor-Phibes said in Guess who's in charge of the VEEP candidate search?: This next election should really be named the 'Me Too' election. "Hey, I'm a horrible misogynist" "Hey, Me Too!" LOL

Trump has surrounded himself with "yes men" who nod their heads with what Trump wants to hear. A true leader wouldn't discount someone's ACTUAL experience on the ground with "that's not what I HEAR". Ugh, what an embarrassment. And yes, I'm a conservative.

"curve fitting can improve data visualization" "inform policymakers" Oh, boy.

Wow! That is intense!

The media is a mess. It’s lost the narrative. The governors opening the states have completely thrown it for a loop and now this more deadly contagion story no longer is cogent.

@89th said: @Axtremus said: Sunlight being the best of disinfectants, etc. That’s what Trump meant with his UV light strategy!!! Does Trump know that?

Interesting music. I have never hear of them before.

@89th said in Supreme Court arguments via teleconference, all can listen in: I hope everyone mutes their line. I guess everyone didn’t.
