But right. We definitely should not be taking the time to analyze the clear and obvious comorbidity factors that individuals can take to better enhance their chances of survival should they catch the disease.
Just imagine if there were basic health practices that if we had implemented and drove nationally, then we wouldn't have to worry so much about their "chances of survival" when they catch the disease because some Karen didn't want to wear a mask and insisted that the whole family come round for turkey day

Worth noting (from the article linked) that they only recommend reducing quarantine to seven to ten days if and only if the subject has had a negative test since exposure.
And then there's the whole problem that testing creates COVID cases, or so I'm told that's why we didn't set up any national testing infrastructure

As I figured. People chose to close, and they didn't need to be told that had to, just let the info come in, and people will make informed decisions like this. "Legally, music venues in Iowa were allowed to reopen in June, but with social-distancing requirements that significantly reduced their capacity. Even if those rules were lifted, Rossi said, he couldn’t see a path toward reopening safely and profitably anytime soon. This month, he announced that Vaudeville Mews would be closing permanently."
I think it's self evident that we shouldn't stake our hopes on everyone voluntarily making the responsible decision. There's a whole shit load of chuds who love to say "it's not against the law" as if it justifies their abhorrent disregard for how their actions affect others. What then when they won't do the right thing and keep the pandemic going another quarter, because muh freedom

Remember, this is a movement that includes a guy who shoved a dildo up his own ass live, in the air, to prove....something.
This entire regime is just an unbroken chain of idiots shoving things up their own asses, and screaming “VICTORY!” through the tears of pain and bleeding anal fissures.
And 70 million Americans think that’s awesome.NowThis is just getting ridiculous

Keep running the play...LOlz. Always. never deviate. You own and even enjoy firearms, but gun culture is toxic?
and whose president?
and which rebellious rhetoric am I stoking?
Gotdam dude. Just a hot fucking mess of lunacy you are...
Yes, gun culture is toxic. When I used to shoot IDPA before Best in the West shut down, damn near every other person was wearing campaign or "Hillary for prison" gear, and other dumb shit like that. Gun owners shouldn't be praising dangerous criminals like the danger WASPs or rittenhouse. "No compromise" gun politics have taken over the rhetoric, and are all the same qanon and conspiracy adjacent loonies that are the voting base of the republican party.
I didn't say that you were stoking the rhetoric, I said the people you vote for and defend on this board do. And you're still refusing to acknowledge the ongoing encouragement by the white house and GOP of armed insurrection against a state government.

This.
One the bigger arguments I get into with some of my "friends who think they are rebels" is that simply owning a firearm in no way, shape, or form makes you a soldier. They insist gun ownership( which I strongly advocate) is the reason Japan didn't invade the US during WWII and it's why the leftists in our country haven't imprisoned us all. All i know is that 21-22 year old me would kick my 50 year old ass without even breaking a sweat. These dumbasses aren't going to realistically fight anyone. The people who are smart enough to do it, don't engage such idiocy.
The flipside of this argument is that there are a very substantial number of 2A proponents who see these morons for who they are. It's one thing to rattle sabers, run your mouths, and shit. Should the shooting ever truly start and terroristic acts occur, within the vein of thought being discussed in this thread, not only will the idiots face the full force of the US military, but they will face a metric crapton of their fellow gun owners who still believe in our country.
Well with Michigans fuckery on display, I have to disagree with you. Terrorists plotted and began training to kidnap and assassinate a sitting governor. And YOUR president and fellow republicans have continued to stoke that firey rhetoric. Fuck outta here about 2A nutjobs policing their own. I own a bunch of guns and enjoy shooting and believe in a right to self defense, but fuck sake gun culture is toxic in this country.
There's a sufficient critical mass of nutjobs being egged on by trump and encouraged by sitting republican elected officials. There will be more violence, and it shouldn't surprise you. And you and yours shouldn't detract from the heinous nature of their crimes and plots

I was looking at this yesterday. sweden, france, etc all have similar curves. we(US) started climbing about 10/20. we are probably 2 weeks from the drop.
well wishful thinking has gotten this far, I guess...
Pearland beat me to it, but on what earth are Americans taking COVID as seriously as Europe? If anything, I'd expect us to go significantly longer with more deaths than we saw in Europe. Shit, we're about to have a big national holiday where tons of families are throwing caution to the wind because they think it's a hoax or just another flu.
But your sunshine pumping is nice, in an early season aggy sort of way

Perhaps get them to the hospitals first, use this one for healthcare workers? If the rest of us need to wait, well we have to wait.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I recall discussion about the storage requirement being so cold that many hospitals and even universities don't have the equipment, or have only very small volume of storage that cold

Yeah I’m not going to lose any sleep over that one. I’m not sure we should have a death penalty, but since we do I don’t see why Orlando Hall shouldn’t get it
+1 to this sentiment. I don't like the death penalty by policy - BUT - fuck this fucking fuck. My concerns with capital punishment are that it's a process without appeal, and our justice system isn't known for it's batting average. But this guy seems like a special piece of sick twisted shit, and definitely an edge case where I think the death penalty isn't out of the question

Disturbing new details in alleged plot to kidnap Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer.
CHICAGO (WLS) -- There is new and disturbing information in the alleged militia plot against the governor of Michigan.
The 14 men charged had far more violent plans than just a kidnapping, according to federal and state authorities.New filings claim there was a Plan B the militiamen had drawn up, that involved a takeover of the Michigan capitol building by 200 combatants who would stage a week-long series of televised executions of public officials.
And, according to government documents now on file in lower Michigan court, there was also a Plan C -- burning down the state house, leaving no survivors....
In an interview with the ABC 7 Chicago I-Team last week, Michigan's attorney general, who's prosecuting some of the militiamen, discussed the domestic terror threat.
"We are one of the few states that does not ban guns in our state capitol building, and clearly there have been threats made on the lives of our legislators; you probably saw the pictures back from in April, where we had armed gunman, some of them, same defendants in this case, that were hovering over state senators with long guns, screaming and yelling at them as they were deliberating, as they were discussing legislation and as they were voting, so that remains a big concern to me in a very scary scenario," said Dana Nessel.
That fear bleeds over to Illinois. Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker mentioned the Michigan case during Tuesday's COVID-19 update.
"We have threats that stream into my office daily, while we have watched the kidnapping plot against the Michigan governor unfold just a state away," said Pritzker.
Despite the violent nature of the charges, including an alleged plan to hold a mock treason trial for the governor of Michigan once she was kidnapped, several of the defendants have had bond reductions and are now free.
Higgins' attorney suggested in court that he may challenge extradition altogether at Thursday's bond hearing in Wisconsin. -

Well basic shit like masks and social distancing should be followed regardless. And my comment was moreso wishing we had a coordinated national response. For fucks sake, states were in bidding wars with eachother for PPE, and when they were able to close a purchase it would get seized for the federal stockpile.
What's happening in NYC shouldn't mean we all do the same thing everywhere right now, but we should use a common and known good playbook when it is our turn. Because we shouldn't have to keep learning and relearning the same lesson over and over.
We're riding up a 3rd and highest peak for hospitalizations and deaths for fucks sake. But yeah, let's solve obesity first. Because people LOVE to be told what they should eat and how to live. That will be the most expedient and direct way to unfuck ourselves.
