    @Doctor-Phibes said in Governors' stay-at-home orders are 'unconstitutional,' cases won't hold up in court:

    It seems to me that certain conservatives have lost the 'Covid is just like the flu' argument,

    The real motivation is evil, pure and simple, evil.

    And the 'Covid is no worse than the flu' argument ended a few days ago when deaths from COVID exceeded deaths from this year's flu. COVID wins.

    Of course the year is an arbitrary period of time and you could choose a longer period if it suits your purpose. For example, the number of flu deaths over the last 5 years is far greater than the number from COVID.

    Pandemics are not limited by a single year, so if you are just comparing total deaths, there are options.

    Of course when you throw in the economic impact, there is no comparison.

    There was an entire forum of people who knew that was going to happen, for months. They knew because the projections provided no possibility otherwise. None.

    It ended a few days ago for you and only you.

    Please love yourself.

      You may recall when I first pointed out to you that the game was not yet over I told you that COVID would win.

      The game isn't over until it is over. Sorry, it just isn't, no matter what an entire forum, including me, might predict.

        Okay, but that's a dangerous way of analyzing a situation with a three-week lag between what's reported and what's actually happening.

        Please love yourself.

          It is a simple scoreboard.

          It is exactly the same scoreboard that is used for every pandemic in the history of mankind.

          It is simple, it only takes a moment.

          It does not preclude any other analysis.

            I'm sure some people waited until the end of 1941 before finally concluding that the Nazis were really bad people.

            I was only joking

              Heck, even as recently as 2017 you got a statement like "you also had people that were very fine people, on both sides."

                You do know the context of that quotation, don't you?

                The saying, "Lite is just one damn thing after another," is a gross understatement. The damn things overlap.

                  That was definitely a case of fake news. It’s beyond clear that he was talking about both sides of the confederate statue issue, he wasn’t talk about the tiki wielding skinheads.

                    I'm sure he does, but it doesn't fit his narrative. As usual.

                    We have the freedom to choose our actions, but we do not get to choose our consequences.
                    Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run, there's still time to change the road you're on.

                      I doubt he does.

                      Really, this is one the media has only ever distorted so people genuinely believe he was saying there were nice people among the tiki wielding demonstrators.
