Sorry to have upset you, Arlo.  Sincerely.  That's not my intent.

Let me use another phrase here.  Let me call it "DSE", by which I mean deciding things the way folks do in science and economics papers.  The book Freakonomics does a great job of showing how these methods go in the context of a lot of real-world issues.

Not knowing or using DSE doesn't mean you didn't do a lot of things in your life, or think about a lot of things, or have life experiences, or go through hardships, or any of that.  Doesn't mean you don't have opinions or knowledge.  Doesn't mean you aren't a good, valuable, and admirable person -- which you are, Arlo. 

It is a method and system that relatively few people know unless they were taught as scientists, engineers, or economists and worked over the course of time at changing their thinking process to work that way.

Being a Poli Sci minor, trust me, there is a fair degree of statistical analysis in that, as well. Science is part of Political Science. Upsetting me wasn't the point. Disrespecting me was. 

[Shuffler]

but who's statistics do you believe. also for example death rates no matter from whom don't tell the full picture.  not everybody fully recovers.

People die all the time. Nothing different there.

Depending on what they had, yes. All through history. Contagious diseases are nothing new.

That should be their responsibility not mine or yours or the countries economy

At this point the screaming heads on cnn look and sound ridiculous to me

But hey lets get a national mandate in 3 months to have to wear useless paper masks everytime we go out into public like we are all 80 years old with pre existing conditions..

Every year during the annual flu season.

of course, it's not a biggie, I've had the flu many times, hell one year i spent 5 days in the hospital turned into pneumonia.

this thing that has killed 215k must be the same.

you know i have never known people who have died of the flu. 5 people i know died of covid. my nephew and my brother's sister in law had it and survived. both in their 20s, just less lung capacity.

I know 6 people who tested positive for covid. All had cold symptoms, the rest had none. Many folks have died from the flu...... if you list all that died of something else while they had the flu.

so what you are saying is people were dying of something else within a couple of weeks then got covid.

Could be... or had covid but died of something else. Not everything is listed. Covid is surely listed because there is money to be made by doing so.

If hospitals made more money when people died with a hang nail..... well lots of folks would have that too.

I have to add that one of those I know has cancer. He tested positive and had no symptoms. He still has cancer and it will soon take him..... not covid.

Looks like he was attacked. I mean what are the odds of getting covid and your whole team getting covid right after calling to pack the stands. Looks like an attack on UF football team to me.
