If you don't like this approach or do not understand...maybe you should start your own LR forum and make your own set of rules. Or...go over to Discoweb...plenty of name calling and profanity there.

You're incorrect
Secondly...please re-read your post #48...where you wrote...and l quote..."On the otherhand 'you' have a grossly ill-informed and erroneous opinion that not only ignores reality...blah, blah, blah...blah, blah, blah." Please keep re-reading this statement until 'you' understand what the word 'you' means or implies...and then come back and tell me who is "incorrect".

You're almost certainly a wonderful person
Thirdly...l'm not a "wonderful person"...in the least...okay.

So, l'm done here with this...because beating my head against a brickwall gets old.

For this reason, I'd argue that they can, and will, and SHOULD, be told how absolutely idiotic their ideas are, each and every time they utter them, until they stop.

Wow. Well spoken sir. You said it much more eloquently than I did. Could not agree with you more.

Never waste a good disaster.
There are some interesting Scientific ideas on 5g tech side effects too.
and...the press still finds ways to try to blame Trump, lol

I'm traveling in one of the last areas where they still use 2 G .. Looked at my phone and it said 2 G .... I thought how nice that was ...

Internet is works fine ... no calls dropped .. everything is good ... 2 G works perfect ...

No joke. I trust 1) the highly educated public health officials whose only job is population health. I trust much less 2) media and 3) politicians whose only job is, well I guess, “likes”. I am very thankful in my jurisdiction we have pretty good 1, 2 & 3.

My only wish is that folks that do think it’s a joke is to not infect others, and don’t tie up hospital beds if you do get sick.

in the mean time, enjoy your trails of whatever ilk.

Well, we have certainly learned a lot about this disease over the last year. The death toll is striking. And we are still learning about the long term negative health effects, too.
And I don’t quite get the apprehension of some to wear a face mask... after all, if you don’t care about contracting the disease, fine. But be the good, responsible, mature individual and don’t spread it to others, please.
Ditto for washing your hands.

I am very happy about one thing; finally! Someone has decided to keep the baskets at the grocery store/market clean. In fact, why wasn’t this the norm before this situation??

Incidentally, for your information; I spent 9 months away from home do to work requirements and border restrictions in Melbourne, AU. Following what in the end seems like light restrictions, they have licked the virus problem. And any newcomer must go into quarantine for two weeks... no different to what I’ve done by coming home for Christmas. I think a small price to pay to keep my neighbors safe.

From my research nearly 60,000 Americans die every year from the cold and flue
Ex Paramedic of 15 years service. Unfortunately, and I wish that what you say were true, it is not. Even as a young fit make/female, if you catch C19, it kills your lung tissue. You will lose 20-30% of your lung capacity post C19 virus, you will be less fit, get breathless more easily, less oxygenated blood to your organs, more strain on your heart.. overall reduced life expectancy. Regardless of what age you are. And if you get it again, even as a fit young male/female, with already damaged lungs.. your chances of survival are drastically reduced. It’s real buddy, and the true seriousness of it, well is not been told to us. What I say above, very real, and the best case scenario for all humans walking the planet today. So change your mindset, quickly..

While the Spanish Flu was worse, you have to remember they did not have the medical care we have now. Imagine how bad Covid would have been without our high tech medical community. It would have been every bit as bad, and probably worse due to the long duration of the asymptomatic phase.

The psychological and economic effects of COVID are worse than the death rate. . Life has to go on. Life's a risk. Roll the dice. We all have to go sometime. Something is going to get you. The biggest risk in life is not taking risks. Living life as a shut in, is a hell that isn't worth living,

That's why I traveled to many countries without bans in 2020 and just got back. I went everywhere ... talked to everyone ... stayed in dozens of hotels and private residences,... multiple flights, hours in crowded airports stuck in LHR and JFK. Eating out every other night for cheap.

While others were quivering inside houses ... .. I was out traveling the world.

7 tests. All negative, I DONT HAVE COVID...

EX paramedic ..... EX parademic ...

We all know people who work in hospitals. Some say the things you say ... others say the total opposite ..


covid is 6 x less contagious than measles btw ... and most people dying are old, infirm, obese, diabetics etc etc.
