Eliminating covid was never possible. Are you not aware of how many animal carriers there are or are you suggesting we could've prevented animal transmission somehow?

Which parts of the Chinese economy are not subject to a complete hostile takeover from their government, including but not limited to disappearing the companies leaders? Just because state officials aren't directly managing day to day

The Chinese gov't adopted capitalism? I'm not sure I can believe that anyone believes that, much less agree with it. This is a very direct example of a communist government controlling the messaging of a company, which is antithet

I'm not sure I understand you correctly. Are you blaming capitalism for the moral failures of a communist regime? Maybe you're just suggesting capitalism isn't capable of "solving" the wrongdoings of communism? If s

>What does natural immunity mean with new variants and when it lasts from 90 days to six months? I'm not sure what you're asking. Are you saying that antibodies last 90 days to 6 months? Firstly that's incorrect as antibod

I'm curious how you can suggest the US government spends the most money in the world, by far, on healthcare and the simultaneously suggest there's less government involvement. The government is involved in every step of American h

The unvaccinated haven't done nearly the damage policy has to hospitals. The US has like 6-7% fewer staffed beds than before the pandemic and has stupidly decided to fire unvaccinated healthcare workers that have almost assuredly deve

While I'm sure the unvaccinated represent more, it's also true that many reporting stats considered double vaccinated to be in the unvaccinated category if they are eligible for a booster and haven't had them.

I gotta say that one of the biggest reasons I'll never buy an iphone is because iMessages are awful. Anytime there is a group chat with an android user there's like a 5% chance your message will be lagged by hours, or sometimes no

The sad part is I would've wanted to see Trump impeached and removed from office for many different things (such as his many conflicts of interest), but it's increasingly easy to sympathize with a man attacked by people whose enti

luckily that has next to nothing to do with the point of my comments.

I'll never get over the TDS in the tech community. All of these lengthy comments and the only specific examples of racism people can come up with are policies shared by many many many politicians, most of whom I've never heard cal

yeah, 2016 he drew the latino vote back to 28 from 27 and then in 2020 he took it to 38. That's called winning the latino vote - just because Republicans have historically not gotten the majority is beside the point. We're talkin

If those things are racist then every sitting president has been racist, including the current one. It doesn't seem very useful to make racism so broad that everyone is a racist.

Trump won the hispanic vote. Trump is many bad things, but I have no idea why his haters feel the need to make him into an imaginary racist. Really all that has done is make uninterested folks (like me) more sympathetic to him for having to

I think thought-leaders and experts could use a whole lot less deification right now.

You're presenting a false dichotomy. The options are not: 1. Give up your data 2. Be a criminal There are other options.

You realize if everyone was a "prepper" then you wouldn't have any tests either, right? Supply doesn't magically increase if people flood the stores a month or two early.

I've looked multiple times at dozens of stores. In my area of the U.S. they can't be found in stock.

Capitalism? The US healthcare system is the most socially funded healthcare system in the world by a long shot. Not much capitalism to be seen there.

I suspect this is troll bait trying to get exactly the reaction you've given. I find the best way to discourage this type of behavior is a simple downvote and move on.

I don't think I communicated my point well. A first world country is struggling to not decrease its capacity in hospitals, what makes you think the rest of the world won't have similar struggles?

Well that really doesn't have anything to do with this conversation.

It'll be years before anything truly game changing hits the market. As for hospital capacity, we're down 7% from last year, there's no reason to believe we haven't screwed our economy/healthcare to the point it won&

Mortality rates are going down because of the vaccine and natural immunity. I wouldn't hold my breath on any ground breaking therapeutics, we have plenty as it stands today.

US staffed beds are down 7% for the year, what makes you think it's not getting worse?
