    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    It's Darwin's theory at work. Why should the weaklings of society artificially jack up the pandemic numbers for the rest of us, giving liberals the excuse to muzzle true, freedom-loving patriots?

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    :shifty: 1628535162 It is very informative as it represents the reality we live in - the people who matter, either don't get covid or breeze through it; fuck everyone else.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    I would urge you to be more careful with statements like this one. This kind of stuff can easily cause split personality disorder in someone, who is both a covid conspiracy theorist and a corporate shill ... Good thing there are no such people around this place 1628534192 So, basically like the...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Yeah, a young woman in her late 20s, 10 years younger than I am, died of bilateral pneumonia caused by covid. She had an underlying condition, though, so she doesn't count ... I mean fuck those people, who just jack up the numbers for the rest of us who actually matter ... Other than that, 4-5...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Sorry to hear, D! Besides wearing a mask and keeping your distance, having a healthy immune system is your best ally vs covid. I would suggest boosting your immune system by increasing your vitamin C and D intake to about 3-4000 mg and 3000 Units daily, respectively. That's on top of what you...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Aaah, that forced, pretended laughter ... I am sure that was cool in high school, now, not so much. If you have nothing to say, it's best to say nothing. You wanna keep people guessing, not remove all doubt.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Welcome to dressing up the hypocrisy of capitalistic corporate interest as trickled-down personal responsibility: socialism is really good when arguing for equality in tax rates across the board, but when it comes to putting those taxes to work for the people, who paid them in the first place...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Not familiar with how quickly and the extent of the measures taken there, but at least Singapore doesn't look too bad considering the density of that city. My point wasn't that warmer temps would stop the outbreak completely but, possibly in combo with humidity, might limit its extent. What I...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Indeed. Local weather patterns may well play a role. I don't know what's the latest on the effect that high summer temps, low winter temps or humidity may have on corona, but generally the data shows that more extreme conditions tend to slow the spread of influenza viruses. IIRC, medics in...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Sweden's approach, which we are yet to really see if it will work out for them all the way thru, may not be applicable everywhere. Different countries have their own peculiar traits in terms urban/suburban demographics and way of life, in general. Most of all, however, they have different...

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    At this point, I have to say the 'Bjerknes" nick is past its prime. "Wolf of Wall Street" or "Bobby Axelrod" would be much more fitting.

    Coronavirus (COVID-19 Outbreak)

    Most disappointed person of the day must be the guy in the background, wearing a hazmat suit and holding a "covid is a lie" sign. After dedicating so much thought to his gear, he probably believed the "dumbest fuckwit" award was already his.
