[QUOTE=Shaft22;4761434]Ooooh shit, he caught me in a typo. Awwwww fuck, what to do? DAMN! 😂 weak comeback from a weak piece of shit! Like I said, your pops should shot you down the toilet or should've wore a rubber that night. Lmfao. You're deserving of no respect pussy.[/QUOTE]You're a semi-literate idiot, that wasn't a typo you thought all this time people were saying flatten the curb and not curve, if it was a typo you would have written curbe.

You're a fucking idiot. Now go get your fucking shine box.

[QUOTE=Anubis06;4761081]I answered your question. I just didn't answer it the way you want me to answer it. I didn't sidestep it, I clearly gave you my response. Our pool is human civilization on Earth. I thought I made this as clear as day when I illustrated how the virus bled over from China to Georgia. There is no "kiddy pool". So let me spell it out to you. I live in a society by definition I do not exist alone. I have family friends, people who I wish to interact with one day and trying to find some type of "hedge" or "middle ground" is counter-productive to slowing the infection rate for everyone. My sister is a nurse fighting on the front lines in NJ, my mom is a nurse fighting the good fight in Mississippi. The more people that are socializing and are out and about; then that means more are infected, thereby increasing COVID related visits to emergency facilities. This is creating increased risk in an already high-risk situation to healthcare professionals like my mom and sister. Their livelihood, health (both physical and mental), and wellness affect me. Irrespective if I become a hermit or not.

Virus and disease is a societal issue that requires the cooperation of people in society to fight effectively. It has been that way for throughout germ warfare in human history with herd immunity, Polio vaccine, MMR vaccine, malaria and every other virus and disease we collectively try to fight. Sorry that your "freedom" or your echo chamber doesn't allow you to understand that a small sacrifice for 2, 4, 6, 8 or 10 months of your life is being inconvenienced by staying in a temperature-controlled environment, with running water, freshwater, and food; allow some to get the treatment in a hospital and save their life. In what would be an otherwise completely overrun healthcare system.

Lives are being saved because the overwhelming majority are staying on lockdown and yes lives are being lost, unfortunately at a still staggering rate. But if I have to sit in the house all day to give the system a chance to catch up and our Epidemiologist a chance to collect, analyze and figure out data to make the best chance of saving lives or avoiding infection going forward. I'm all in.[/QUOTE]You continue to deflect and no, you are not in lockdown, I live in a country on lockdown, we can go 500 meters from our front door for an hour a day and only to the grocery store and pharmacy.

You continue to ignore the difference in lethality between risk groups and instead require everybody to do what the highest risk groups have to do to the long term detriment to them all. You ignore the 2nd and 3rd order effects of the economic disaster that's brewing and instead you imply that those who see things differently than you are morally deficient and only think of themselves.

I'm almost 60 hypertensive and overweight, I live in a massive house on 2 acres of manicured lawn in BsAs, I have enough cash in my safe to last me 18 months. My business is online and my employees will be working without break because we have always worked from home. Argentina is in real lockdown a third of their workforce just lost their jobs and all of Latin America is facing the biggest recession we have ever known. I personally want for nothing, I've got food, entertainment and pussy, ending the lockdown is not in my personal interests but it's not about me. Ending the lockdown means millions don't die from starvation so that thousands don't die from corona.

So again, and literally for the last time, how does somebody not practicing social distancing raise your personal risk when you have the ability to have anything you need delivered to your door?

Let me help you with that answer, it doesn't. Since you don't have to leave your house your risk is unchanged so now you can drop the "if you go out you make life more dangerous for me" from your virtue signaling repertoire.

Now tell these people how they are only being inconvenienced for 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 months and they should be grateful they have to go hungry for 5 years because you want to show the world how woke you are.

You're welcome, now go get your fucking shine box you thoughtless self righteous piece of shit, millions are going to die in the third world because of idiots like you. When they are and time shows that the lockdowns were an over reaction when you see those commercials on tv with starving kids don't change the channel, reach for your credit card and send money.

A2.

[QUOTE=AaronHamlet;4760812]"Pressured to add Covid as a cause of death. ".

$13 k extra taxpayer dollars paid to hospitals for ea covid death. Wonder if that's why Dr's are being pressured to over count? Hospital admins wouldn't do that, spread fear, only to increase profits would they? Media wouldn't spread fear for page hits and viewers which equates to additional ad revenue dollars, would they?[/QUOTE]Heck, the commercials are now all supporting the stay at home but buy our (fill in the blank) and the, We are all in this together while they have their own swimming pools and tennis courts, and probably have enough to not get a paycheck for 2 years.

It is not as bad as they want to scare you into believing.

Well, I guess that says it all, my guy. You caught me in a misspelling. Everyone give him a round of applause. Lmfao. I did purposely and mistakenly say CURB. Oooookkkkkk? Now what? Is that what we were arguing about? LOL. Put that BB gun away we carry BAZOOKAS over here clown. He asked, "WHY WOULD I RESPOND?" I don't know maybe because we were having a debate, but I guess I handed you your ass so you tucked tail and left. 😂. Notice he asks WHY WOULD I RESPOND? Referring to everything I said against him, but finds it easy to respond to a mistake in grammar. Honestly speaking, I'd rather be illiterate, than to be an untrue follower, who tries cater to a mob to earn their approval. I'd rather be illiterate but true to myself, than to be an unoriginal follower, that tries to pose as a leader by being in agreement with others. A bit of advice, your method is short sided. People in life will always see through you eventually.

[QUOTE=Anubis06;4761385]I will withdraw from the conversation because you are starting to make up numbers. "99+% will be fine" certainly a made up percentage. More test doesn't mean it's getting worse, more deaths based on their population does. Georgia has hardly been a paragon on how to handle this situation but even we have half the deaths of Sweden with about a million more people. Sweden has only tested 94,000 people in the past month and half.

According to Sweden, they have only tested 94,900 people.

I'm neither interested in debating Chris Cuamo and your conspiracy theory. The fact you keep bringing it up kinda indicates something to me that I am better off withdrawing from the discussion. Best wishes[/QUOTE]People like this self-righteous windbag are the reason we have civil wars. Goodbye and good riddance.

[QUOTE=HobbyMan51;4761565]People like this self-righteous windbag are the reason we have civil wars.

Best wishes.

[QUOTE=Anubis06;4761385]I will withdraw from the conversation because you are starting to make up numbers. "99+% will be fine" certainly a made up percentage.[/QUOTE]99.9% of those under 65, not morbidly obese or already sick w/something that's killing them anyway will be fine. Numbers not made up, but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt, for now, that you make up all you claim. You're either making it up or you're one dumb motherfucker. Herd immunity is created by all staying inside? You made that up, right? You're not that ignorant to believe that are you? You brought up Chris Cuomo being 'restricted' to his basement? You made that up, didn't you? You're not that stupid to believe that are you?

You wrote, 'Sweden Infection rate continues to grow' That's because they've tested more. You don't believe that if you test 200 a day and get 50 positives, ramp up to 2,000 tests daily and get 500 pos, ramp up to 200,000 and get 50,000 new cases, that case spread is worsening? You don't actually believe that, do you? How many Swedes during the growth of the infection rate are in the ICU or dead. Must be exponential, right? New cases=New ICU's=New Deaths. You believe that, right? Well at least you're consistent. Because that's wrong too. More cases equates to less, as a percentage of all cases, of ICU's and deaths. And in some instances, like Sweden, more cases equate to less ICU's and deaths, though a lag does exist.

Smartest thing you did was to withdraw from the conversation. You're on a roll for once. Don't fuck it up.

Bottom line: If you're for any type of government forced lock down, you're a piece of shit, and most likely a coward. Period.

[QUOTE=Almanac;4761769]Are you Atlanta gentlemen getting any reliable information about when the clubs may reopen?[/QUOTE]I'm hearing it may be June or July but definitely not anytime soon but even when they open back up it's going to be a very slow start with a lot of guidelines to follow but half of them may not even open back up it's going to be a long slow recovery for the strip club industry.

Another thing is most of them are small inside so no way you can practice social distance unless they only allow a certain amount of people in at a time cause Coronavirus going to be around for a good minute.

Calm down and present some solid, logical reasons if you want to change minds.

While Georgia Governor Brian Kemp thinks it's safe for the state's citizens to start re-patronizing businesses like salons and barbershops amid the COVID-19 pandemic, and for restaurants to reopen dining rooms starting Monday, April 27. Unfortunately, Public tours to the Governor's Mansion are "canceled until further notice.

[QUOTE]Out of an abundance of caution, we are temporarily canceling public tours until further notice to ensure the health and safety of Georgia families.[/QUOTE][URL]https://gov.georgia.gov/governors-mansion/tour-mansion[/URL]
