    Yeah, poor soul. He still values the ideal of people getting along instead of preparing for the race war you seem to be angling for.

    Still it's at least 10 times deadlier than seasonal flu and healthcare facilities are being overwhelmed.

    I'm not at all opposed to closing off Canada to unethical irresponsible countries. For as long as it takes. If that means blocking off the entire world than so be it. It would have been nice if the USA was on board with saving lives over dollars... Fuck 'em. Everyone's got their priorities. It's time Canada should focus on making Canada as self reliant as possible. That includes pulling out of NATO and doing America's dirty work and paying their "protection" GDP fees and all the other global trade and currency bullshit Canada gets ass fucked over.

    Humans are a pack animal nothing is accomplished on its own. Rome was Rome not because 2 people built it as the legend said it was because people made a pack together. In World War 2 America even though it was not Communist everyone was on a a team. We at home are helping the young men stuck in France right now. Our rationing at home is team work.

    I suspect your issues with team work are because it would "socialist" to do so.

    This is the case with most viruses including the flu which of course this is just like right? So you would think it would have the patterns of flu. Patterns that don't fit a political agenda or opinion they just are.

    Imagine that this virus is acting like one and it has a asymptomatic period. Life finds a way.

    It’s not funny. There are tens of millions with health issues who are at risk from covid. You and others who joke about the virus and don’t do the basic measures are really assaulting people at risk. It’s time to grow up and behave like an adult....even if Trump doesn’t.

    Actually, it's currently 42 times more deadly than the seasonal flu.

    This was Michigan 4th July, I'm going to go ahead and assume most of the people in these photos don't vote at all, let alone for Trump

    Do you ever consider the needs of other "Muricans" in exercising your rights? All about you. Freedom to infect others with a virus. I missed that in the Bill of Rights.

    With every problem, every system, there is always one variable, one metric that is more important, or works faster than all the others

    You seem to have chosen face masks as the most important step in stopping the spread of the virus

    Can you give us some kind of idea in numerical form, either as a probability, usually expressed as a number between 0 and 1, or a percentage or a ratio....just how effective face masks vs 6ft social distancing vs handwashing is in stopping the spread of the virus

    Just a rough estimate, with a high margin of error will do

    You set up false trichotomies. All three are important, mask wearing and social distancing being the most visible. As for rough estimates and margins of error, I'm going by the best advice of medical authorities already cited. I'll let them worry about those details.

    That seems to be the attitude that's resulted in the virus surge in Florida, Arizona, Texas and the Sunbelt states. Mashugana!

    Not exactly. I have an idea that medical experts can be trusted.
