Of course the mortality rate would go down as they learn how to handle it better. In addition, young people are more resistant to it and it's been more of them recently. However, I've also heard that it's moving from them now back to the older population. In addition to all that, it takes several weeks from when a case is diagnosed to when a person might actually die from it. So the spikes in cases we're seeing won't probably result in any sort of major uptick in deaths for a couple more weeks or so maybe. So touting mortality rates or making claims like Ron Paul did is just ludicrous. We won't know anything for sure about an overall number for many months to come.

She pleaded not guilty of course and was denied bail.

Quote
The judge said she found it "practically impossible" to set financial conditions that could assure Maxwell's appearance in court, adding that "her recent conduct underscores her extraordinary capacity to avoid detection."

Some funny info about them arresting her. i.e. she had wrapped her phone in tin foil. ~

This isn't the first time I've heard of foil wrapping. Is it really a way to muffle all signals and is there any difference between this method and simply turning off the mobile phone?

Yes. If it's on, it's communicating and giving out it's location, If it's off, it can be remotely turned on and then, well, it's on, and reporting.
It can always be "on" as long as there's a battery in it which means if "could" be giving out your location. I haven't kept up with the latest developments in phone stuff so don't know if some do or not.

The prosecutors also responded with reasons why she shouldn't be allowed out on bail and also that the Epstein agreement isn't binding on them as agreements like that are only binding in the district that made them.

so that they don't get herd immunity from Covid-19 like they did from SARS and MERS and the common cold.
How many dead are acceptable to you in order for the population to get that herd immunity you seem to think is a good idea as opposed to doing everything possible to reduce the death count until people can get vaccinated? I don't care about your feelings about vaccinations, the vast majority are going to do it so you're opinion on the matter is immaterial. But I'd really like to know how many dead is acceptable to you.

Certain people were saying at the start everyone should do what Sweden was doing and not close things down etc.... Now..

"Per million people, Sweden has suffered 40 percent more deaths than the United States, 12 times more than Norway, seven times more than Finland and six times more than Denmark."

Yep. Good plan.

https://www.nytimes.com/2020/07/07/business/sweden-economy-coronavirus.html



Except that nobody knows what the numbers are. Why not? Because world leaders, especially the CDC, have told medical people to count as many deaths as possible, Covid deaths, whether or not they were even connected to Covid. Further, even if they had the Covid virus in them, if they died from something else, they were supposed to have their cause of death listed as Covid.

The numbers are BS. This is shown by both Italy and the US revising their numbers down when too many people were seeing that many of the old people who died, act5ually died of something other than Covid. also, many people who were ventilated died, because it wasn't found until much later that ventilators were not the way to supply oxygen. If they had been given simple oxygen, they would have lived. Murder by medical ignorance. But not Covid deaths, even though they were included as such.

When you look at the real numbers, they are barely any more than a rough flu season. SARS and MERS and the 2017 flu season were worse. The numbers are being manipulated to make an excuse for an unnecessary pandemic.

To understand this and a whole lot more, you need to see what professionals from around the world are saying. If you don't believe the experts, you are turning it into a religion for yourself. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq6oOuhSx7ESreh6m9LGy6Q/videos

Cool
I asked you a question. Since you think just letting it run rampant so people gain natural immunity, how many dead are acceptable to you? How many of your friends and family are you willing to watch die.

I wouldn't put much faith in the reported unemployment numbers at this point. My feeling is it's a lot worse. There also used to be 2 different numbers. The one the politicians use that shows the best numbers and then the other which includes other categories of people. Can't seem to find that now for some reason. But. The reason why I don't think the current numbers are actually representative of the current state is due to the following.

"People are considered employed if they did any work at all for pay or profit during the survey reference week."

"People are classified as unemployed if they do not have a job, have actively looked for work in the prior 4 weeks, and are currently available for work."

"The labor force is made up of the employed and the unemployed. The remainder—those who have no job and are not looking for one—are counted as not in the labor force."

https://www.bls.gov/cps/faq.htm

So, when taking into consideration the 4 week part (I doubt a lot of people would be reporting they're looking for work when they're told to stay at home or are doing so on their own as they're scared to get covid) and that if you don't fall into either of those categories you're not even considered part of the work force and thus are not part of the calculation, I suspect there's a whole lot more people that are unemployed than the numbers would tend to indicate.

One of the things the other unemployment number included was people that had been looking for work within a year I think it was, or maybe 6 months, can't remember now. That unemployment number was typically 5%+ higher than the one the politicians would tell everyone.

Edit.. Found it...
https://www.bls.gov/news.release/empsit.t15.htm
U-3 is what they tell everyone whereas U-6 is probably far more representative of what the true state is.

na thats the wrong usage, for that there is the word "cultural realm", nation can only be used correct for a lingually standardized group like kurds, arabs, turks, not for something like "americans" or "europeans
Based on what. Please show me the actual documentation that supports your claim because everything on that page refutes what you have to say on the matter. If you like, you can "win" by just saying it's your opinion.


based on lingual hygene in the us where nation is used to also describes cultural groups, people just follow the mood of some newspaper writers, they don't preserve the historic correct usage,

they are using for islam the word nation although its a religion that can be shaped by many nationalities.

its time people remember what nation means again,
I asked you for proof of your claim and all you gave me was what I assume is your opinion. Please provide me proof or just say it's your opinion.


how can people form a nation that don't understand each other? there has to be a lingual network capable of uniting them.

if the usa is a nation, than native americans can't be nations, they have then to abandon that term to selfdescribe themselves as tribe or whatever.
So no proof of your claim, just your opinion. Got it. Well good luck with that.

And so this is a perfect example of the issues that are truly at stake. Taken from a letter sent from faculty to the highers up at Princeton university.

Quote
11. Constitute a committee composed entirely of faculty that would oversee the investigation and discipline of racist behaviors, incidents, research, and publication on the part of faculty, following a protocol for grievance and appeal to be spelled out in Rules and Procedures of the Faculty. Guidelines on what counts as racist behavior, incidents, research, and publication will be authored by a faculty committee for incorporation into the same set of rules and procedures.

In other words, they want to be able to decide whether or not research and the resulting studies etc can/should be done/published based on whatever they decide may or may not be racist. But as we're seeing, what is "racist" is being redefined so can and will include a whole range of things. Given what the "Grievance studies affair" was uncovering, that ultimately will mean only studies/publications that adhere to certain ideology will be approved. This is basically what Evergreen showed was happening to universities 3 years ago.

The crap that has gone on with Epstein just sickens me. The people that let him go in the first place need to be strung up by their balls with piano wire.

"Ghislane Maxwell's lawyers are telling the court they intend to challenge the charges against her on the theory that they violate the past 2007 non-prosecution agreement with Epstein"

americans describe themselves as being a nation, like germany, or france or russia, but they are not a society that is being held together by a single language, but by a geographic boundaries.

nations in america are the englisch speaking, the hispanics, the sioux etc.
Is you're entire purpose to spread bullshit information or are you just that misinformed?

Quote
Black's Law Dictionary defines a nation as follows:

nation, n.
1. A large group of people having a common origin, language, and tradition and usu. constituting a political entity. • When a nation is coincident with a state, the term nation-state is often used....

2. A community of people inhabiting a defined territory and organized under an independent government; a sovereign political state....

The word "nation" is sometimes used as synonym for:

State (polity) or sovereign state: a government which controls a specific territory, which may or may not be associated with any particular ethnic group

Country: a geographic territory, which may or may not have an affiliation with a government or ethnic group

OP is idiotic idiot. According to https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/ stats the current lethality of crownvirus is 14% Imagine the number of deaths if 14% of people die when they seat into car for first time.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/

0.09% according to this website

"Last updated: May 14, 22:00 GMT"

and

"Under 65-year-old (0.09% CMR to date)"

CMR is an estimate of what it could end up being based on limited data (New York at the time only) and some assumptions.

Isn't it sitting at something like 1000 a day dieing from it? or it was and now it's back to that? seems like it's a tad more than that 200/day car thingy.

This is an awesome thread started by someone who doesn't have a clue how the real world works. Never mind the fact that guns without the tech would just get imported from other countries, or a whole new industry started to disable any sort of tech added to the guns, but there's also the fact that you can already 3D print guns. All laws etc do is make it harder etc for honest people to own/use guns.

You know how you stop the majority of crime? Get everyone working and making a good living so they don't feel the need to go out and commit crimes.
