So let's look at https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/heal...s-to-the-lungs

Quote:
COVID-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, can cause lung complications such as pneumonia and, in the most severe cases, acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS. Sepsis, another possible complication of COVID-19, can also cause lasting harm to the lungs and other organs.
Again, this is simply statistical malpractice. We are testing sick people. Because of the sample bias, we cannot generalize. If I tested people in a hospital I could easily 'prove' statistically that blonde people have a 35% chance of cancer. Now, if after reading about COVID if you think 'I don't need to see a tiger kill 10 people and develop statistical confidence' that's fine. Just be aware that you cannot rationally claim that the person next to you who is saying 'Sorry, I don't believe your dance caused that thunderstorm' is unscientific or unethical.

Also, these videos by Ryan Long are straight up hilarious: Defined by Trump and Woke/Racist and Selling footage to both CNN and Fox. Sadly I went full black pill after Trump enthusiastically campaigned for a COVID bailout that went almost entirely to the 1% (RIP Trump Keeps Winning), and now I think the most important thing to realize is that the vast majority of people live in an outrage bubble that has been carefully generated to keep us under control. Your neighbor is not the primary source of evil in your life. The system is. And you don't fix it by aggressively tearing it down, you fix it by passively opting out: stop watching the news, grow your own food, homeschool your kids, etc. Satyagraha for the modern world.

Question for the "wear a mask" people. Now that this virus has killed 148k people in the country things are looking pretty grim. Why haven't you jumped on the bandwagon yet about what people could do about the biggest killers in our country? Cancer has been killing over half a million a year every year for a really long time. Heart disease beats cancer out. Even for people that go into remission from cancer there are some pretty nasty long term effects.

Heart disease and cancer aren't contagious airborne diseases, but if they were and if there was a simple way to reduce transmission of them, like breathing out of a snorkel, I would hope people would willingly face that inconvenience rather than risk killing their fellow citizens.

Making soda, alcohol, and cigarettes illegal would legitimately go a long way to reduce disease prevalence, but fats would march armed and maskless because freedom.

The causes you list are being fought successfully. Every single cause of death is on a downward trend over time except for two.

One is Covid-19. The other is suicide. The rise in suicide predates the appearance of Covid-19 so there goes my theory that people are blowing their brains out because now that everyone is working at home they're realizing just how much Bards really suck (I don't mean to play, I mean to be around with).

Blingy, the way to defeat this virus is a political and economic revolution. We need to reshape this country to fit the tech age. You are confused and think things should stay the same because the TV really, really wants you to think that. The TV has gotten really smart and computerized and it talks to you through websites now like your "Face book" and even through robotic posts on websites like this. But in the end all it wants is for things to slow down, so more generations of "Finkel steins" can enjoy our little pit-stop in "Gilded Age 2: Automation Soon Boogaloo".

The revolution in telemedicine, telework, automation, UBI etc. is what makes scientific countries like Korea brush this shit off, and China stop it within their borders, whereas we, a country comprised of retards like you, are humiliated. The reality is that 100,000 Americans are dead and the person to blame is YOU, Blingy, for never bothering to even attempt to educate yourself. I hope you're prepared now that I have deigned to explain to start asking questions which do not contain implicitly an admission of treason within them. Time to stop being a civic reprobate. -j

Your please pay attention to me I am very smart bullshit wasn't very good, but I liked this anti-Semitic bit. You still have a problem with Jews, which I think is just great. You're still a Nazi fasc, despite the fashionable liberalisms. Your BF cool with that?

It's a joke and an ingratiator, so the right-wing goober knows I'm not a left-wing drooler. Please don't take it too seriously. fun fact about me I went to an 80% Jewish university and was treated very well. I like Jewish people. I am sorry your inner turmoil has not yet subsided, but I am kindly asking you to stop pursuing me with direct communication. You have become the harassment arm of a sexual abuser to me. I come to this watering hole thinking of other people.

And on what planet is "fashionable liberalism" fashionable right now? Where do you think we are? -j
