Fernando hooked a group of about 10 of us up with pit spots in Chicago a couple years ago.  He's not all bad.

LOL.  The picking and choosing of facts by some is amazing as well.  Turns out ventilators appear to be more or less a death sentence.  So I guess those that didn't get one lucked out. 

You're so out of touch with reality on this it's not funny.  The numbers tell you everything you need to know about who is at risk.  EVERYTHING you need to know.  They don't lie, though many people that believe like you do are working hard to manipulate them to keep the irrational fear going.  Slowly but surely people are seeing the light though and posts like yours are slowly dying out at a much faster rate than people infected with Covid-19. 

As the Rolling Stones said "Time is on my side"

Just a quick follow up - I have a lot of empathy for those being impacted by Covid...I just choose not to limit that to those that get sick from the virus.  People that never got symptoms are being hit extremely hard by this, yet nobody really seems to care about them at all.  I'd be careful about playing the empathy card when you're ignoring those that are suffering deep hardships. 

Whoever it was that said the economy is going to recover just fine and cited some past pandemic experience seems to ignore we've haven't handled any recent (and by recent I mean not in 100 years) in any way similar to how we've handled this one.  We typically ignore them.  Small businesses will close and never open again.  People will lose their homes and be setback so far that they may never recover.  People have already killed themselves as a direct result of the virus.  We've paid a huge price to (at this point) not really save anyone.

Well, you have one side saying to consider that we might be doing more damage by doing what we've done and we've got the other side insisting that's not even a possibility.  I think I've been on record more than anyone saying that we don't know a lot about this.  Said it from the beginning; I continue to say it.  That's the whole basis for my we overreacted stance.  We've never reacted this way to any of the many pandemics that have happened in and around my lifetime.  Ever.  We've had pandemics where (proportionally) more people died and we didn't react this way. 

Why did we pick this as the time we were going to lose our shit?  I've yet to hear an even close to rational argument for it. 

Have you noticed this headline: "It could" 'We think" "Maybe" "As many as" "numbers could reach" - the experts don't know, outside of the snippets that play on the news they admit they don't know, when pressed they admit they don't know, yet this is what is fed to people nightly and the whole truth never makes it into the news.  Of course people are scared, and so we make decisions out of fear instead of rational thinking.  We've given number after number indicating exactly where the threat is and every time it's dismissed because it doesn't fit the narrative.  NOBODY has given numbers to contradict that almost all of the deaths are in the elderly and unhealthy crowds.  NOBODY has given numbers that contradict that the majority of deaths have been in nursing homes and long-term care facilities. Nobody is talking about the vast numbers in urban areas while demanding the whole country stay in lockdown.  There's no logic to any of it; it's all emotional and not based at all in fact.  Even with the numbers that they've manipulated, it STILL doesn't justify the response.

You don't get to play that card Mr Racial Slur.  You are the only person in the history of this site to post racial slurs.  Congratulations chump.
