Kolek planning to go pro
Can we stop posting random COVID deaths? Every death is tragic, but it’s excessive and doesn’t change anything about the disease and it’s effects. If the death rate for a disease for a certain group is .0001%, highlighting that 1 in 10K and saying “see it’s very serious” is not helpful. We all know it’s not a joke and that we need to take precautions, but the key for young adults is preventing spread to others, not that they are going to be in the unfortunate super minority to pass away.
More important question: is arby's still around?
The N.C. Department of Health and Human Services reported its highest number of COVID-19 deaths on Tuesday, with 67 deaths linked to the virus.https://www.charlotteobserver.com/news/local/article246920692.html?ac_cid=DM315284&ac_bid=-1554633302So, 9-10 months into this crisis, the nation's 10th largest state just set its single-day record for coronavirus deaths -- on the same day that millions of American voters are saying "yay" or "nay" to a president who repeatedly claims the country has "turned the corner" on COVID-19.
1) Empathy is never wrong. Perhaps you could use more of it in your life. Strange hill to die on. 2) "We all know it's not a joke and that we need to take precautions." LMAO. Thanks for the laugh. 👍 Someone hasn't been paying attention. 3) "The key for young adults is preventing spread to others." This again of course is not going well.
Wags is not your enemy. Dial it down.I agree with him that we don't need to post every death. I also agree with Galway that because so many folks, including some of the highest-ranking people in the U.S. government, believe that youngsters are "immune," it is news when one dies. I also agree with Galway that it's important to put a face on some of these.Wags wasn't dying on any hill. He stated an opinion, and he wasn't disrespectful to you or any other Scooper. Your line about his empathy, however, was out of line. He might be 10 times as empathetic as you are. You don't know because you don't know him, and nobody here knows you either. So don't make wild, baseless accusations or assumptions.You and I often agree politically, but, as I said, dial it down please.
Over 100,000 new cases today. Deaths and hospitalizations now rising rapidly too. President is hiding in his bunker, yelling at people to file more lawsuits to stop the vote, instead of maybe trying to do something about a growing medical crisis.

if anyone out there wants to get their significant others a mink coat it looks like prices are going to be coming down.
That's actually been a question of mine - are they sill gonna use the pelts? I'd guess not since the process exposes bodily fluids to humans. If so...prices might actually rise.
Hmmm, sound like Kim is getting a mink coat to stay with Don Jr. a little longer.
U.S. has become the first country to top 100,000 coronavirus cases in a day.We are doomed.
Great. Still 'winning'....
Rounding the corner.
