Timely article. Thanks for pointing me to it. 

Just to throw in my state. My county has 210k people.  We've had 12 deaths of which the median age is 85. They don't give an age breakdown so I have no idea what the age breakdown is for the half of the individuals that were under 85.  The CFR using only known recoveries is 2%. Like other...

I get all of that. I truly do.  I'm old enough to be around during Obama's program. I agreed with it.  Also old enough to remember the push back she received. Also old enough today to recognize the left's (or PC crowd) position to make it taboo to mention anybody's weight. Obesity is still on...

No my attitude isn't the same about them, nor obese ppl. I don't want them to die. My point is simple. Overweight and obesity kills in numbers that covid isn't. Nobody really cared. If we weren't so overweight as a country (and developed world) covid wouldn't be putting up the numbers that it...

Science: here's this one easy thing you can do to protect yourself from idiots and countless other diseases. Americans: "keep your nose out of my business and get me a big mac! I demand other people to go into a bubble to protect me!"  See how that works? 

Right we have a long history of knowing the long term impacts of being overweight and how much death it causes and we still do nothing. Each person has their own ability to reign in their weight (outside of some disability folks) and we dont care. So as a whole if we don't care about health this...

If you've been following I've been talking about all the health risks that we as a nation accept relating to being overweight or obese. That then leads to inflated numbers when a virus breaks out but everyone continues to ignore an underlying issue. So my original question was why should we care...

Because I think its an outsized reaction? I'm not anti-mask to the point where I'm throwing fits in stores that require it and I'd certainly wear it if it was required. The death rate appears to be heading lower. So whats the threshold to have reactions like this in the future? And if we're so...

I don't doubt any of that but I dont think this rises to the occasion to still be so afraid of each other and be spooked of non mask wearers. We can agree its out there. We can agree its serious. But we've learned things about it now and to me its an outsized reaction compared to the risk that...

I have no problem wearing one if its required. And it looks like we're all heading that way so I'd just prefer if it was a federal mandate at this point. My issue is the over reaction we've had to this thing. Three months ago? Sure. But we know more now and yet people are still treating this as...

Except those same people consistenly choosing the crappy food and not exercising are landing the more serious covid cases thus inflating the numbers. This pandemic wouldn't be affecting as many people if we were healthy...

(Disclaimer - I hope Trump loses every state. Feel like that needs to be said before being pegged muh MAGA) As a young healthy adult I wear a mask if required but not if it isn't. Does that make me anti-mask? This is probably less of an anti-mask reasoning and more of anti-overreaction...

Couldn't you ask this question on any normal day? People drink bottled water for whatever their own personal reason is when things are rosy. It is a billion dollar industry after all. If people think they are going to be confined to their house and are normal bottled water drinkers then why...

Go enjoy your car bud, you have another three or four weeks until you can gloat about FCF. Oh and there's a stock thread down the hall.
