Not going to get into the debate over the COVID deaths and whether it was an hoax.However, as a business owner (non-scientist) I will say this: most of the reason humanity has progressed as far as it has is mainly due to science. Whether it be physics, medicine, biology, chemistry, . et al. most of our standard of living can be directly attributed to various scientific discoveries.Inventors have been great, but most of their inventions were directly attributable to scientific theories, or they themselves applied science to their discovery.Will never understand the anti-science vibe in certain segments of society. Truly sad.
Another thing re. science. Is it is usually meant to be a slow process where we build upon other insights and mistakes. It is an iterative process of growth, sometimes setbacks, but always trying to improve on models and knowledge. What people are seeing play out in real time, in public, is what usually goes on behind the scenes. New discoveries...new experiments and data...realization that the discoveries were incomplete or wrong...refine the conclusions...collect more data, and on and on. 6 months ago we didn't even know what this virus was. The amount of data and discoveries we have made in that timeframe is mesmerizing, and should be applauded. It is sad when people focus on things individuals got wrong. Each incorrect answer, will likely lead to 5-10 new discoveries. Respect the process and keep scienceing.
Very well stated Dano.
At the very least, do yourselves a favor and listen to Mark Belling and Rush Limbaugh.
Science is useful in a lot of instances. However, when it's clearly something else (that should be obvious to any intelligent person) but being masked as "science" is when it's a problem. For instance, it wasn't "rocket science" to know, everyone in the world didn't need to be locked down for months. What should have happened from day 1 was we isolate or "lock down" the most vulnerable. Instead, people with agenda's peddled lies and misconception and got people to believe something that never was a necessity for many different reasons. Science will never be wiser then common sense. All it took was common sense to see thru a lot of this. Unfortunately we live in a world where so many lack that common sense.

This is interesting info potentially. Also there is evidence that China had the genome sequenced at some point in Dec. https://thehill.com/policy/healthcare/public-global-health/501621-researchers-satellite-images-hint-coronavirus-started
Maybe US was right to be skeptical about WHO. Because it doesn't make sense that it has spread how it has if asymptomatic spread is "rare."
Heard on the news that a study suggests the US prevented over 5M cases of covid by quarantining.
It's obvious not enough of you were influenced by the great Professor McAdams while you were at Marquette. Had you been, you would be a lot more knowledgeable of what is really happening in this country instead of allowing yourselves to just believe everything the liberal media tells you. It's baffling how many people are really that naive, but here we are..
Guru hot take: "listen to guy who Rants opinions that agree with mine, dropped out of southeastern Missouri state after two semesters and you'll become smart! Screw that stupid guy who is in charge of NIAID and has his medical degree from Cornell, and worked under rational politicians from both parties for years making disease his life's work."
