Coronavirus (COVID-19) is too exciting for adults to discuss (CLOSED)

I was thinking that this virus might hit those in lower socioeconomic situations harder.

But then I read about the 70 students from UT in Austin that took a chartered plane to Cabo San Lucas for spring break a couple of weeks ago. And now most of them have tested positive for the coronavirus.

It's good to see that youthful decisions can keep this thing more evenly spread throughout society.

From one of his biggest fans in a review:
Absolutely fascinating!
Couldn't put it down. I'm a critical thinker - not your average (or below average) conspiracy theorist. I came to some different conclusions than Mr. Haslam, but overall I think he has all the evidence to explain JFK's murder. I think he gets hung up too much on the idea that the bio-weapons created AIDS and cancers. That's quite possible, but he doesn't have the evidence for that, and some of that could have come from the Salk vaccine without the bio-weapons "help".

of course there's plenty of this
He borders on hysteria here and there, not helped by his amateur use of exclamation marks all over the place and has gone off on rather a tangent in respect of how Dr Sherman met her death. He dismisses the mattress fire as an impossible cause of the destruction of her right arm, apparently unaware of detailed lab experiments undertaken about 25 years ago in the UK which showed how a smouldering fire can indeed destroy bone without incinerating nearby flesh or other materials. He’s also in error in regard to the FBI memo regarding Dr Sherman’s address book to which he gives great and dramatic emphasis. He’s convinced that the redacted name referred to fits the letters ‘Oswald’s’, but any former typist can tell him that the letter spacing is too short for this – he has failed to understand or investigate how these old machines worked and how the text was laid on the page.

Try reading the book. It's not a conspiracy theory.

Fuck it, since you provided links, I'll give it a whirl. Even pondering the audible version because I'm sure the narration will be an excellent exemplar of voiceoverr artistry.

So you're arguing it was the Jews behind it?

Nah, just one Jew. I can't get any others to agree with me.

And then those same people will bitch about people on welfare and unemployment.

Maybe I just need to go home and have a stiff drink? :lol:

Yeah, some of my aggravation with the recent outpouring of concern for "the little guy" (talking generally, not about this board in particular) is that plenty of it's coming from the same folks who generally rail against "socialism", "social justice warriors" real and imagined (yes, there are real ones who are nutso wanna be fascists but not everyone who votes for Dems, thinks the POTUS is a scumbag, or that our health care system is fucked up is one), don't believe in tipping, etc.

Wait, is “I told you so” a Jewish thing or a native Americans thing? Ever since Blazing Saddles I get them mixed up.

Going back to this, I was going through the timely Netflix series “Pandemic” and they had an episode on anti-vaxxers.

There was [very surprisingly] an attractive mom featured. She could shoot some hoops too in a couple of the home life clips. If more of them looked like her, I’d entertain their movement more.

Stick to hookers. Less likely to catch communicable diseases that way.

The Netflix part with her is worth the watch if you ignore everything she’s saying.

That's a fair point, but the reason doesn't really matter to me. People have made a ton of money from their business over the years, but now when they might need to actually put money back IN, they are begging for help. Nah.....not for me.

EDIT - to be clear, I've got no problem with businesses that NEED these funds. My issue is with individuals and businesses that have plenty of funding to keep things running but are still grabbing this "free money".

Part of the loan application is the following:
Current economic uncertainty makes this loan request necessary to support the ongoing operations of the Applicant
There are a whole bunch of people that would be just fine without this money but are applying for it anyway. And that's my issue.

Not everybody needs the individual money either but I am not apologizing for spending mine if I need or not. I figure it’s a drop in he bucket for 50 years of wasting my money .

Welp...now I hold my breath for a few days to find out if my job is essential, and if it isn't pray that the technology gods have gotten the FL unemployment systems back up and running by the 19th.

This fucking virus needs to burn out already. I'm an introvert and usually content sitting my ass at home for a while, but this is too much already, and we've got the rest of the month to go still.
