Rants and Raves

[QUOTE=TechSticles;4746406]4. If you give an ounce of shit about your adopted country, then try giving a shit for once, not taking. My European ancestors came to this country, worked their balls off, never complained, and BUILT everything that your sorry ass enjoys. Instead of being a whiny, selfish pussy which my ancestors would kill for fun, why not step up to the plate and do something positive?[/QUOTE]I love how these racist pricks always forget to mention his "European ancestors" arriving in this country and stealing it from the Native Americans and then proceeding to commit genocide against them with mass murder and disease.

[QUOTE=Admin2;4741474]Let me help you. This data is from the Italian Public Health ministry compiled from the cases they had.

In the age groups 10-40 the mortality rate of C-19 is. 02% that means out of every 100,000 people with confirmed cases in those age groups 20 will die.

Further the Italian medical authorities found that 99% of those that did die had pre-existing conditions, diabetes, obesity, asthma, heart disease, something like that. So that means that if we back that up to 90% (give it a margin of error) that of those 20 who died 2 of them wouldn't have had an underlying health risk.

To represent that graphically the picture attached is the new River Plate stadium in the city of Buenos Aires Argentina. It's "official capacity" is 70,000 but since we are a third world country they routinly pack more than that into it. The most people who have ever been here was a super classico between River and Boca Jr's at 102,000 people. Using the numbers genuine, bone fide experts in the medical field if this stadium was packed to standing room only capacity of people between the ages of 10 and 40 and each and every one of them had been tested and was confirmed to have a real, honest to god, no shit, no fooling case of Covid 19 then exactly two of them would die not having underlying conditions.

Seriously, 2 people. Before you answer, this isn't Red Sox and Yankees the economy of the fucking world is in balance, you can look at the data and change your mind and start demanding change. Let's put the old people up in super luxury hotels and feed them caviar omelettes and give them foot rubs until there is a vaccine. I'm not saying they should die.

8,200 people a day die in the US every day. 3,000,000 people every year, if 100,000 more die from C-19 then it's only a 3% increase. This hysteria has to stop.

Oh, and if you filled the stadium up with people from 40-50 then 40 of them would die and 4 without underlying conditions.

If they were 50-60 (my group) 100 would did and 10 of them would have been healthy when they caught it.

Seriously, 2 people, that's not bullshit, you can run the numbers yourself. The media has you convinced C-19 is a death sentence like ebola, it's not.

A2.[/QUOTE]That's all fine and good. I'm not disputing any of those numbers, nor have I ever said C-19 is a death sentence. The problem is that even with those low numbers of mortality, the health system still gets overwhelmed. It prevents people from getting the normal care they need and results in more death than just the virus.

We'd be better off it it was ebola, since it's much more difficult to catch and doesn't live long outside of a host. This shit would be over by now if it was ebola.

[QUOTE=TechSticles;4746406]Dude, you're such a tough guy. You act like you actually did something to earn what you have, instead of just being lucky enough to be dropped out of your mom's pussy in the USA. Fuck off with your stupid shit.

You, the people. Did you ever join the military or anything? Or are you just one of those fucksticks that loves to stand up when the flag goes by?[/QUOTE]20-year Army veteran, fuckstick. And you?

[QUOTE=ST0808;4745795]I believe the best action in this kinda of situation is to ignore the arrogant, ignorant, pimp ass.

Have fun banging 60 bucks ******.[/QUOTE]If you want to see the ultimate in arrogant and stupid, read your original post. And no, I don't bang $60 hoes, but I bet you do!

[QUOTE=LowKey69;4745981]This is cute and all, but for those of us with underlying health conditions, it's pretty corny.[/QUOTE]Then stay home and take care of yourself until you feel safe. No one has any problem with those who are vulnerable taking steps to look out for themselves. The problem is "authority" telling those of us who are healthy and who do not have underlying conditions that we have to lose our jobs and our lives for an indefinite period of time when we no longer see the reason to do so. That is tyranny. Exhibit A: The governor of Michigan. It was great that the people of Michigan took their anger to the streets yesterday. More of us will do the same if we don't see common sense begin to be restored soon.

Just remember, opinions are like assholes and everyone has one.

[QUOTE=Niteluvr;4746548]20-year Army veteran, fuckstick. And you?[/QUOTE]And me. I did my time. Not in the army. I'm not sure I believe you though.

1st of the 8th out of Lejeune. 21 years. E-7.

I see cabin fever is spreading and everyone is irritable.

[QUOTE=TechSticles;4747105]These fuckwads act like they settled the country or some shit.[/QUOTE]Any Native American has the God-given right to walk up to any of us and flip the bird in our face and say: "Get the fuck out of MY country".

They were here first. Finders keepers. We learned that lesson in grade school. Anything else is theft.

[QUOTE=TechSticles;4747102]And me. I did my time. Not in the army. I'm not sure I believe you though.[/QUOTE]I don't care if you believe me, though you might see me speaking at a Veterans Day event someday, which I do every year. When I arrived at the MEPS, it was 20 years, 10 days, 7 hours and 43 minutes before I walked away for good with a crumpled, folded flag that some admin bish handed to me as she recited a pre-written "goodbye" statement in a basement office of a building at Ft. Meade. Quite a shit way to close out a career. Best medals? Bronze Star with a "v" device and 3 MSMs.

I come from a heavy, military service lineage dating back to before the Civil War. I have only one sibling who didn't serve in the military. To reiterate one last time, I give a shit not if you or any one else believes me.

Lastly, I have no desire to argue with you, so can we get back to our regularly scheduled Rant and Rave bullshit about C-19?
