Re opening is a crazy idea...

... Unless you have proper testing. The virus is still at large and there is a decline in new casrs BECAUSE of the lockdown. This doesnt prove the lockdown is unnecessary but that it is necessary. If you open up, you need to be able to isolate and control the virus or its Groundhog Day for the black death.

@MrBrownstone This is more transmutable though, clearly. These right wing conspiracy theorists are killing their grandmothers.

@Burnley123 Domestic violence is up as well as suicide. How many domestic violence incidents and suicides are you ok with?
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@MrBrownstone none. This situation sucks and we all know it. But seriously, if we dont lock down then more people will die.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Burnley123 Ok, lockdown in your country, we need to get back to work
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@sunsporter1649 My post wasnt about America but about everywhere. This virus doesnt care for Borders. I hope you are right actually but i doubt it.

@Burnley123 You don’t know that. South Korea didn’t lockdown
Burnley123 · 41-45, M
@MrBrownstone They didnt have to because they tested loads of people and isolated.
sunsporter1649 · 70-79, M
@Burnley123 Oh, I get it, test 350 million people every day.

In an article where he still defends measures to control the outbreak. The guy has been pretty consistent in his evaluation and changes his ideas when studies provide evidence to do so.

The full article can be found here: https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMe2002387

What's your point?

Okay, what's his point Munster?

@SumKindaMunster So you aren't going to say what his point is Munster? Is a conversation on the basis of substance just to hard for you?
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Kwek00 Oh duck boy. So angry! I'm sorry you are desperately lonely and have no one in your life other than your Dungeons and Dragons buddies. I'm sorry you have been programmed to hate those you don't agree with.

His point is clear. Covid 19 is not as lethal as first thought.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@SumKindaMunster I'm not angry, I know you jerk off all day knowing how angry you make people, I know it's a little kink of you. But sadly, a lot of people you talk too don't care about you that much. But that doesn't mean those people are going to let you walk away with being a dishonest actor. First, before I stop talking I'm going to point again, what a dishonest piece of shit you are. And then you can look up another of my stories and try to attack what you perceive is an emotional weakspot like the pathetic bully you are.

Why are you a dishonest piece of shit Munster? Because you can't read. Just like the guy that posted the picture is either a concious dishonest piece of shit or a tool used by dishonest pieces of shit that edited the picture in the first place and posted it on facebook.

This articles wasn't written on March the 26th, it was published on February 28, 2020.
This article isn't a scientific article, it's an editorial. Which means that it's an opinion piece. Which is openly admitted in the title that reads: "[b]Covid-19 — Navigating [u]the Uncharted[/u][/b]". Why do they call it that Munster? Because the author has to work with the information he has at the time, which in the beginning of march 2020 wasn't a lot.

The reason why this isn't prove but either a guideline, an "opinion piece" [i](because you like opinions so much Munster, we all know how your fucked thinking proces works) [/i]the author writes:

[quote][b]This suggests[/b] that the overall clinical consequences of Covid-19 [b]may ultimately be[/b] more akin to those of a [b]severe[/b] seasonal influenza (which has a case fatality rate of approximately 0.1%) or a pandemic influenza (similar to those in 1957 and 1968)[/quote]

Why does he uses "Suggests" and "may [i]ultimately[/i] be", because the author isn't sure. But your biased mindset [i](something you complain everyone else to be suffering about)[/i] reads: "IS". Because it fits your narrative Munster. And why don't we look at the word "severe", because it doesn't fit the narrative Munster.

This is the season flue estimates in the US:

https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html

With the two biggest numbers in:

2014-2015: 51.000 people died
2017-2018: 61.000 people died [i](still under research)[/i]

This virus at the moment has killed: 47.681 people [i](still under research and ongoing)[/i]. And this happend even when we asked people to stay indoors for a long periode of time to decrease possibilities of infection. So just like the article, we can only "guess" how it really is. But you are promoting your bias as fact, because you are dishonest piece of shit Munster. You and the maker of the picture should stick together, at the bottom of the ocean.
SumKindaMunster · 51-55, M
@Kwek00 Feel better? 💋

Everything you claim about not being bothered by me is belied by your words, your tone, and of course your angry denials.

I'm glad you chose to research the post and get a little more detail. I merely took from it that Covid 19 is not as lethal as first believed. That's all. I still stand by that, and your little temper tantrum that the post is not 100% accurate is irrelevant.

The point stands. Covid 19 is not as lethal as first thought. I'm not promoting this as fact, it is my opinion.

As far as me being a bully, I would like to remind you that YOU, have inserted yourself into my discussions with other users on here multiple times. YOU chose to attack me without knowing the context of what was going on, or the history of my discussions. I clearly upset you. But you are also clearly drawn to me. If you didn't want my attention, then why would you repeatedly engage me? Maybe you want to think about how your own behavior has brought you to this point.

As far as me knowing you are a lonely loser with no friends. I didn't need to read anything to know that. It's obvious in your words, it's obvious in your manner, it's obvious by the way you go around trying to engage/shame others with your worldview. You desperately want friends and a companion but have no idea or experience in how to accomplish that.

Here's a tip. Stop acting like an angry asshole who thinks he knows better than everybody else. You don't. It's interesting you chose to research this posting and highlight its inaccuracies. But there is no point in doing that. All you've done is just highlight, again, how you don't fit in, and are awkward and off putting.
Kwek00 · 41-45, M
@SumKindaMunster Yes Munster, because reading a piece of text and "tone" are things that are really serious. How manny times do people get into arguments about the "tone" of piece of text? And how manny times does a writer have to defend the "tone"? You know why that is? Because the reader adds his own tonality to how they read something, it's a subjective thing, but being the person you are I understand why you get off on yourself.

I never asked what you stand for, I asked what the authors point was. This is just you trying to change my original question. You know why that is? Because you are a dishonest piece of shit, you called me out for not getting what his point is, and we have yet to hear what the point of the main author is. You believed you knew his point, but I have yet to hear it.

[quote]Covid 19 is not as lethal as first thought. I'm not promoting this as fact, it is my opinion.[/quote]

More opinions... because "opinions", should be the basis of policy. 🤦‍♂️.



You are a bully Munster. When I come into a conversation on open forum, I adress the thing you are bringing to the table. Just like I adress what you brought to the table right here.

https://similarworlds.com/6030143-I-Think-IM-Confusing-Cause-I-Am-Confused/3294195-I-ordered-a-book-on-monday-that-according-to-the?com_id=39156217&sort=1

<- This comment, is also something you brought to the table. It was just you being mean because you felt butthurt and agitated because I pointed out your own hyporisy in this story:

https://similarworlds.com/30-Miscellaneous/3303524-Blockers-are-pussies?com_id=39134296&ncom_id=39141713

and because you can't stick to the toppic, you have to try and punish people for questioning your bullshit in other underhands ways. By bullying them because you are nothing but a piece of shit.

No you piece of shit... I don't look for friends in conversations like this. I attack left right and center if their argument seems flawed. I'm despised by leftists and right fucktards because I don't look for a team. I don't need friends here that are only my friend because I confirm their bias every day. You haven't beeen paying attention. And "As far we know you are a lonely loser", is your opinion that you are selling as fact, because you are biased clown that doesn't know how differentiate opinion from fact and takes his own bullshit as the truth.



Here is my tip to you, stop inserting your bias and "tone" in someone elses his text, and read it for what it is instead of what you think it is. And if you don't get what it is, then ask the person to rephrase or elaborate before you end up beating your own strawmen. And here is another tip for you, people are free to attack "opinions" and that is a good thing. Freedom of speech, is there to guarantee that diffrent opinions meet in discourse, so that everyone can defend their opinion in a rational way. And then when someones opinion seems worst then the other, we as a group can discard the bad opinion and live with more sensible ideas. It's not because you have an opinon and you are free to express it that it's worthy to be spread in unchallenged. And if you can't take that your opinions are being challegend, then go away from the internet or public discourse. Start some blogpost like Questionweaver, and block everyone that doesn't agree with you so you can smell your own farts and get high on your shit.
