Against my better judgment and several beers deep, I have taken you up on this, potentially ending my streak of totally worthless posts. I have done 3 and 7 day averages only on the Worldometer data.

I didn’t say that. I’m saying how are covid zombies supposed to infect places like NZ, Japan , SK because it sure isn’t going to be by getting in your car and Driving there. Europeans are allowed to drive from country to country and do whatever, are they not?


Of course those places will look like they’re beating the virus if very few from the outside are able to access it

U.S. crossings into Canada were dramatically cut when the pandemic began.  Plus, our Southern Wall.  Plus the China travel ban (despite USCBP recording 40k entries from China between 31 January and 31 March).  We should have been just fine, an "island" if you will.  if the issue, as you state (and I agree in large part) was unmonitored interstate travel...then there must mean part of the outbreak is due to how myriad states handled the virus in the Spring & Summer months.  

I agree with some of your assessment.  I guess I'm wondering if the problem in Europe is a large piece of land with free travel between places that handle Covid-19 different than other places.  Then isn't that part of our problem as well?  And just as governments on the Old Continent handle it differently, don't our states mirror and match that as well?  So when we do we start pointing out the most obvious thing in the nation when it comes to interstate activity?

Pretty good pivot, @MNLonghornFUKM. Most of us haven't forgotten that just a month or so ago you were all-in on the theory that there would be no second spike and that all of the countries that had a first wave are basically done with Covid and had already reached the 20% herd immunity threshold and that we should all take our masks off and start sucking our own dicks.

Pretty slick shift from being completely wrong about that back to the old "See Europe sucks too!" talking point.

Wait, the only thing keeping you from sucking your own dick was a Covid mask?  I mean, in a why I admire your adherence to mitigation...you gotta take advantage of that kinda flexibility while you still can.

Oh goody, here's another of the 13% of posters to tell the 87% of us how we should think!

It could be 1% telling everybody else what to think, and I wouldn't care, as we can easily ignore them.  Just as long as it's not those bleach-injecting qanon nuts.  TexAgs welcomes them with open arms.

Edit: We are allowed to mock the qanon idiots, right?  That's the Alex Jones crowd, that's not a political thing, that's "they are swimming in the shallow end of the gene pool thing."

QAnon used to not be taken seriously, who knows why they are now.

87% of the people that responded to a poll that we should try to remove politics from DT.

He is in the 13% that think we should allow politics in DT and mocked me in his post.

He thinks I should do something else and everyone should do the way of the 13%

I haven't made any comment on covid in the last two pages and what I think should be done.

Hmm yea I said this next spike wouldn’t be as bad as the sun belt one. Apologies for thinking the dakotas, MInnesota, Wisconsin
, Iowa etc couldn’t put up the same numbers as California, Texas, Arizona and Florida with about 1/100th of the population but here we are


Also I never said anything about taking off masks. Lol

yeah, but there is a ton of disingenuous votes in that 87%. i agree we should keep politics out of dt. i'm going to focus more on doing so, by moving political posts to the fucking political board. like you, i don't have time to read every post on every thread, but if i go back 10 pages in this thread alone, that we mods have retitled as "featuring lots of politics," there are plenty of political posts, either direct in your face political bullshit, or gaslighting. 

i simply do not understand the desire to talk about politics outside the politics board. 

if yall (not you, blacklab, but the rest of the board) really want politics out of dt, i'll fucking do it. i'll force you back into the cloak room. but many of you fled it for some reason, so you can come over here and code-talk, bait your political enemies into talking politics, so you can point your finger and yell "no politics!" it's a fucking beating.

It’s ok.  Those you’re arguing against want everything described literally, until it obfuscates their narrative.

Poll how many people want Tom Herman fired, you'll get a pretty high number I bet. Now ask them if he gets fired and we hire Bob Stoops and see what the responses are. Just rename this board alt right cloak room and cr can be socialist cloak room and make a new one called News blurbs only.

I think what a lot of the fake news media is failing to understand is that Australia and New Zealand, while islands, are on the bottom of the Earth.  

As such their Covid-19 denominators (cases, hospitalizations, and deaths) are based on the bottom number, not the top.  If you were to invert those for the American hemisphere, their numbers would be much, much worse than ours.  See, the numbers are flipped down there.  so they only look half as bad as they do in the United States according to top government men.  Top men!  Plus their summer lasts twice as long down there because of the earth's rotation so they had the benefit of the heat to kill off the virus like a miracle.  

Sound fucking stupid?  Welcome to life as a U.S. Citizen you fucking children.  Let me know when we stop allowing the stupidest among us the biggest megaphone.

Quote

Fitness influencer Dmitriy Stuzhuk has passed away at the age of 33 after suffering from complications related to COVID-19. The social media star's ex-wife, Sofia Stuzhuk, with whom he shared three kids, confirmed his death in a detailed Instagram post on Saturday, Oct. 17.

Quote

Earlier this week, Dmitriy updated his one million followers on his health in an Instagram post.

"CORONAVIRUS "COVID", DAY 8," he began his caption in Russian, which has also been translated to English. "As you all know from stories, I am sick with coronavirus.

Quote

"Today, after returning home, for the first time there was an enthusiasm for at least writing something. I want to share how I got sick and convincingly warn everyone: I also thought that there was no covid... Until I got sick."

According to The Sun, the fitness influencer contracted COVID-19 during a trip to Turkey and was treated in his native Ukraine.

Quote

The social media sensation also touched on this in his Instagram post, writing, "I felt bad on the second day in Turkey. I woke up in the middle of the night because my neck was swollen and it was hard to breathe. At the same time, my stomach ached a little."

"The next day, a cough began to appear, but there was no temperature. There were no particular symptoms of the disease either, so I thought that these could be consequences after playing sports, changing the climate and nutrition, and plus sleeping under air conditioning," he continued. "After returning from Turkey, I immediately went to take various tests, do an ultrasound scan and, just in case, decided to take a COVID test. It turned out to be positive."

So a 33 year-old fitness freak kept telling people there was no covid....until he got sick with it.  And then he died a few days after telling everybody it actually existed.  At least he manned up.

something something games something something prizes.

So how do you get to South Korea by land. You’re basically sidestepping what I mean. Spread in South Korea isn’t going to be the same as those in European countries or The states. Especially if outside international travel is mostly shut down

International travel into Korea is not shut down nor has it ever been. You can go there tomorrow if you want to  which is one of the few places we're allowed into right now.

NIH says next 6-12 weeks; particularly the holiday period, will be the ‘darkest period’ of the pandemic.  
 

which is weird because we have a free ‘cure’

Their words, not mine.

I think the Europe data, yes even Sweden, is making it clear that just about everyone is in for a winter wave of Covid.

Better get to Costco for the 48 pack of TP.

I have no issue with a post like

”we should mandate masks, limit groups to 10 and limit large gatherings”

I do have issue with

“. Instead since trump is the president we shit our pants and the rest of the world gets to smell our shit stained pants.

Congrats trumpkins. “

Here's your answer to what the mods say is acceptable to post in here.

Can we still making fun of the usual suspects in this thread that want to downplay it, then get slapped down with facts and news? 

 

BTW, who knew 450k fat anti-masker bikers converging into one town, then going back to their respective homes would have been an issue...
