[QUOTE=JimBob64;5029804]Violent crime is up way up. Most violent crime is drug related and we provide the money for the girls to buy drugs.[/QUOTE]Not sure how I ended up here by answering a simple question but violent crime has gone up slightly because we are in a recession. Violent crime is nowhere near the level of the 80's and early 90's though.
[QUOTE=Soupy3838;5046690]Does anyone know of Rachel is still dancing here? Thank you in advance.[/QUOTE]She was before Covid. No telling now short of going in during dayshift.
[QUOTE=Pussylicker2;5065741]The CDC is a political agency,[/QUOTE]Nope, you are abosolutely wrong. The CDC -- and science itself -- has been politicized by straight up idiots that don't understand science, and don't care to believe it.
[QUOTE=SlightlyHere;5065773]Nope, you are abosolutely wrong. The CDC -- and science itself -- has been politicized by straight up idiots that don't understand science, and don't care to believe it.[/QUOTE]Well I'm not going to resort to name calling but you may be slightly naive at best.
While in theory the CDC and science should NOT be political to pretend it's immune is kind of silly.
People in the CDC most likely have political beliefs and it's just not humanly possible for that to never bleed through.
Science and data are mostly numbers.
Numbers are numbers however they can very easily be.
Manipulated to showcase different views.
A simple graph can be designed to show someone something completely different that is not looking at actual numbers or the details of it.
Most adults I see on a daily basis at work can't do very basic math.
So in theory the CDC should not be political it certainly could be or the information they provide can be manipulated.

[u][b]EDITOR's NOTE[/b][/u]: [blue]This report was published with unnecessary [b][u]HARD[/u] [u]RETURNS[/u][/b] at the end of every line of text, resulting in the text being incorrectly broken up into separate, incomplete sentences.
There is [u]NO[/u] [u]NEED[/u] for any report to be written with [b][u]HARD[/u] [u]RETURNS[/u][/b] at the end of every line of text.
Solution #1: If you are adding these hard returns at the end of every line by using the ENTER key, then please stop doing that. Instead, simply allow the text to "wrap" automatically at the end of each line when typing. The ENTER key is only needed to separate individual paragraphs.
Solution #2: However, if the unnecessary hard returns were the result of you having pasted the text into the forum from another source (such as a news story), then your option is to either edit out the unnecessary hard returns or don't paste the text.
Please do not post reports with unnecessary hard returns in the Forum. [i]Thanks![/i][/blue]

I could simply tell you the number of covid cases and deaths.
I could tell you those same numbers as a percentage of the population.
While those numbers are EXACTLY the same result. The common person will perceive them MUCH differently.
FYI multiple sources reported dancers at LS are positive still working there. They found out about one girl and shut the club for 4 days to clean. But there are others still hiding it and working.

Landing Strip is one of my favorites, but I am steering clear of all clubs until this crisis is finally over.

The foolish part is the symptoms are similar to the flu and other minor disorders and not a guaranteed COVID diagnosis. One can also have the symptoms and no fever, yet the fools are checking temperatures at the doors of many businesses. COVID is still blown way out of proportion than what it should be.

In the first sentence you say you are willing to bet many people don't say anything about covid therefore not adding to the numbers. And yet your last sentence says you think it is blown out of proportion. You're so smart you cannot even agree with yourself. (Sarcasm. Just in case you need it written for you).

[QUOTE=Jackknoff;5071821]Way too much science denial from people who get their medical degree from Facebook and their talking points from Fox.[/QUOTE]Science involves questioning. It involves statistics. Science involves interpretation. It is never a poll (see "97% agree").
If you're weighing the veracity of CNN vs. FOX and choosing just one, you're not being scientific. You're just disclosing a political position.
The last person on earth i want interpreting a 40 page study into a 30 second news bite is a reporter.

A guy with a 4 year science degree and a passing grade in statistics. Never voted straight party ticket either.

To elaborate, anyone with a sore throat or cough could be construed as covid when it's just a sore throat or cough. If they are have mucus / phlegm buildup, it could be allergies. They aren't planning to see a doctor or tell others because people freak out.
The overall case and death count is exaggerated.

The White House has successfully pressured the CDC and the FDA to change their guidelines in accordance with the wishes of the President.

The name and number BS at the club is just that.
I had covid about 13 days ago, got my positive test and not one person EVER contacted me about contact tracing. I took the initiative to let people know who I'd been in contact with, but that was it.
As an aside, and I know this isn't true for everyone, but it was just a cold for me. The idea that I've let this affect my life for 9 months now makes me mad.

What's your theory on where you picked it up?
