Do you think we should have all of these until there is a cure?
Sounds great. My change in life plans might have me calling Canada home after I've traveled the world some. Id love for all this crap to be over with, but instead I'm thinking of applying for disability pay/supplimented income so I dont have a greately elevated risk adding more problems to my already lengthy list of problems from having to go back to normal work.YES! Yes and yes and yes! That is exactly what I think. And it is exactly what the medical profession thinks...and they've had a bit more training and experience than I have.
Look, as of now, the US is accumulating more than 65,000 new cases A DAY. You next door neighbour, Canada, is under 200! Why is that? Canada is trying to behave as if it is one community, trying to overcome a problem, and trying to do it together. Everywhere I go in Toronto (north America's 4th largest city), people are wearing masks and social distancing. We drink out doors, and we don't drink with people who are not in a carefully chosen, and promise-bound, social bubble. My bubble consists of 7 people, and nobody else gets in it.
Yeah, it's a pain! Yeah, we want to party again. But we all want to be alive to party together -- so we've decide that we can wait, just a little while.
Ameristan is diverse.True, but America's covid response is a reflection of its symptom of anti-science and anti-expert. With all the threads on RF where intelligence is downplayed and dismissed, can we be surprised America isn't taking those smart and intelligent experts with all those book smarts and book learning seriously when things get just bad enough we need to care?
The title of the link says it all....
'I thought this was a hoax': Patient in their 30s dies after attending 'COVID party'
The general cultural trend leans towards anti intellectualism, anti expert, and anti science. Just ask thise who are writing the next blockbuster movie that involves science stuff they misunderstand just well enough to turn it into nightmarish caricature on screen. Or people who say "god particle." Quiz them about how much they take in from the experts and just how highly they value their opinions i the respected professions.Ameristan is diverse.
Some of us actually like science.
Some are better at it than others.Being human also means that we have the ability to reason and to mitigate other risk factors.
For so many things.Merely being human is a risk factor.
Canada's diverse too...multi-culti up the wazoo.Ameristan is diverse.

We might never know.I'd bet five "ratings of anybody's choice" that Mr Darwin Award was a Trump supporter.
Anybody want to take the bet?

Yes, absolutely. Together with extensive testing and contact tracing and quarantines. The experience of other countries shows this works.
Do you mean the ones that attend these parties or those attending universities?We might never know.
But Covid 19 infection parties are for the young, typically university students.
They tend to be Democrats.
So bet on!
I've no way to detect the claimed trend.The general cultural trend leans towards anti intellectualism, anti expert, and anti science.

While you're at it, see if you can stop Canucks from burningCanada's diverse too...multi-culti up the wazoo.
But a suggestion, that works for us -- try being diverse together.
University students tend to be Democrats.Do you mean the ones that attend these parties or those attending universities?
Absolutely.
YECs, anti-vaxxers, anti-Masks, Truthers, Birthers, widespread belief in astrology, attacks on "book smarts," snides asking "do you believe everything you believe in a book,"amd the alarming trend of putting what "I think" up there with what the experts thinks. The evidemce is all around usI've no way to detect the claimed trend.
That is interesting. I would say my experience as a young college student was with a different group of people. We tended to be more conservative.University students tend to be Democrats.
Tis only after they go out into the working world, pay taxes, &
cope with regulations that they think to themselves...."WTF!?".
Then libertarians burst into existence from the formless void.
You think we didn't have mouth breathers who dissed "pointy headed intellectuals",YECs, anti-vaxxers, anti-Masks, Truthers, Birthers, widespread belief in astrology, attacks on "book smarts," snides asking "do you believe everything you believe in a book,"amd the alarming trend of putting what "I think" up there with what the experts thinks.

As I said, it's only a tendency.That is interesting. I would say my experience as a young college student was with a different group of people. We tended to be more conservative.
I know its been around for awhile. It's been a topic since at least the 60s.You think we didn't have mouth breathers who dissed "pointy headed intellectuals",
"ivory tower professors", "bookworms", "Poindexters", "nerds", "absent minded
professors", & "brainiacs" longe before today? Don't forget that when I was in
public elementary school, teachers led us in prayer & read us Bible stories.
