The kids moving to houston now?

It's pretty insane some of the benign stuff that the left cancels the right over, but if you're on the left you can say whatever you want without consequence (as long as you're talking about the right).

Pretty substantial difference between the two. Kinda depends on who's making the argument and what they're trying to argue that determines which number people use.

I think that it's a relatively small amount of cases where the death is incorrectly ruled as covid. There are certainly mistakes made, or some cases where it wasn't a deciding factor. There are also undoubtedly covid deaths that weren't counted early on, or even missed still. That said, I think the numbers are realistically better than they appear because many cases of covid aren't diagnosed. This is just making up a number, but if, say, 20% of all cases are never diagnosed or counted, then survival rates of the infected are much better. I would think the survival rate of those infected is probably around 99% in developed countries, where on average it's documented around 98%. That said, when you're talking about it on a worldwide scale, 1% is a tremendous amount of people, and death rates are much higher in poorer countries.

from what I've seen they've been hit by one of the newer strains. but their govt opened everything up with basically no restrictions, and within a month it blew back up over there. The difference between there and here is that A) it's a lot more crowded. B ) lot less hygienic there C) a lot smaller % vaccinated D) poorer healthcare

As to the original question posed, it's news right now because they prematurely declared victory over covid, and after months of low numbers India is now seeing cases and deaths at an unprecedented rate.

I'm not upset. There's different ways to look at the numbers. It's definitely more supportive to y'all's argument to count people who've not been infected as survivors, rather than to determine the percentage of those infected who've died.

They have a really misleading website name for really just being an anti-vaccination website. Kinda like getting information about animal abuse from PETA. There are certainly some valid arguments for not getting vaccinations, but this isn’t the source I would look to to find them.

Couldn’t tell you. I’ve heard of many instances. I’ve never heard someone say they had a choice, but I’m sure there are places they do.

We do it all the time. There are some loopholes, but vaccinations are required.

Many hospitals have made flu shots mandatory for years.

Thoughts?

you read the article?

Part of me wishes I'd got involved a few years ago, but it all makes no sense to me. I don't understand how people can get rich trading a made-up currency? And now the market is being flooded with lots of different kinds of made up currency?

I don't disagree, but A LOT of people stood up for the cop in the Makia Bryant place, and I've seen a lot of African Americans who supported his actions as well. This was due to the release of the bodycam.

Hard to say with how little information is out there. I'm suspecting it might not be good with their unwillingness to release the video they have of the incident, but who knows.

haha. my uncle is absolutely convinced that Bigfoot is real. He gets his feelings hurt when we all make fun of him.

Get the vaccine or not, I don't care. But it's hilarious to me that anti-vaxxers use the argument that the high survival rate of Covid is a reason it's not worth risking the shot (only 572,000 people dead out of 330M Americans), but also use 15 people out 8M developing blood clots from the J&J shot as a reason that you shouldn't get the shot. Kinda similar to how they say that the government is pushing the shot, and they don't trust the government, but then turn around and say there's no way they'd take a vaccine not approved by the FDA.

I'll forward it on to the higher ups. Have you tried signing out and back in? I dunno, I don't work with technology. If Reagan gets to where he can't view either I'm going to assume that InMAGAweTrust hacked the site. 😀

No issues. Not sure what is causing the problem, but will look into it for you. Edit: No clue. There aren't any restrictions set on your account. I saw you were able to access yesterday morning.

The problem is that too many people with too much influence are not taking a reasonable stance on this shooting. I completely understand the African American community's distrust of the police. For a long time mistreatment was commonplace and widespread. Things are a LOT better now. But as long as the media continues to show the rare outlier 24/7 (George Floyd, Walter Scott, Philando Castile), and as long as activists try to make issues out of legitimate shootings (which are about 99% of police shootings), there's never going to be much improvement. You have people with millions of followers tweeting for justice for MaKhia Bryant. Now millions of people immediately assume the cop did something wrong. People are watching the video questioning why a cop needs to shoot someone trying to stab someone with a knife. It's asinine. I saw a video awhile back of a young black man getting shot because he shot at an officer. His brother witnessed this and claimed to the media he was unarmed. Before bodycam footage was released, dozens of activists tweeted and posted and instagrammed about this grave injustice. Millions of people were outraged over this young "unarmed man" being killed for "no reason". Then the bodycam came out, proving his brother a liar, and none of those activists mentioned it again. They let the outrage fester, and did not admit they were wrong and that the officer was right. For things to get better, we need justice for people who are unjustly killed by police. But we also need for police who are doing their job properly to be allowed to do it, without fear of being convicted of murder when they're part of completely justified shootings. It's a really difficult situation.

I like that bill. I don't need it, though. I already sold all my guns in the parking lot of a gun show. No, I didn't catch the guy's name, and he paid cash for all of them.

I thought you were talking about a new Beaumont massage parlor until I opened the thread.

It's amazing to me how many people are legitimately upset that a police officer shot a person who was actively trying to murder two other people. [Hidden Content]
