isn't it obvious that twitter is the de facto public square, dominated by liberals and operated in a way to bias society? and now that a vaguely not-beholden-to-democrats figure is in power they're all switching their tune to disi

I remember dog parks being chained and barricaded, skate parks being filled with sand and nutjobs dressed up like the grim reaper while people were on a sunny beach (you couldn't get better ventilation).

I'm sorry but this is deluded. This isn't happening because it's impractical. No one is listening to you because it's insufferable and abnormal. If you want to put your plans into practice, you have to convince people to

But surely if everyone is doing absurd things to avoid death, like quarantining & wiping down their mail & groceries. Surely they’d have used better respirators.

I love how you selectively omit my statement prefaced with "Given that the risk of infection is well studied now for average healthy people," Smallpox is not covid, it's ridiculous to even compare them.

It seems to me like I'm arguing the instantaneous rate of death will be lower afterwards, since there's a swath of elderly people missing from the population, but you're arguing about the average reverting over time (and spec

No, as in those that were going to die in the future, will no longer die in the future. Returning to the average doesn't make sense. There's a fixed amount of deaths that have to be spread across the timeline somehow and logic wou

Innumeracy? Sure there's tons of innumeracy in the world, but the measures of inflation are so obviously manipulated to indicate low inflation. Really the only accurate way to get a sense of inflation is expansion of the money supply -
