You keep talking about "the media" as if we get our information from the news and just accept it. I read the official stats often and look at the charts, it's as objective as it can be or as good as the data. I also have personal anecdotal evidence. I rarely follow "the media". Meanwhile, ironically, you talk about "the media" but get your information from some loon websites which publish anything and everything without verification. So media channels are always wrong but Bob writing news pieces from his trailer is definitely correct? In reality these fringe websites you follow just echo what you already believed before, so you're far from objective, confirmation bias in action.
So if it's so bad............ Why hasn't NYC and other areas ran back up like Florida ?? Prove you have a clue, give me your theory!! And stop with all the BS Whiney personal made up BS attacks, very childish!! Southall does the same, standard trick, don't admit your wrong, just ignore and repeat the same BS later, grow up FFS!!
Ignoring 4th time a question you can't answer without shooting down your own bias then come back later with more personal attacks because your RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT RIGHT I see. I thought you where okay, but nope got that wrong. Busted!!
Some people used to firmly believe that the earth is flat, or dinosaurs are fake etc, it's pointless to argue with them. Some of us believe in science and doctors, deniers think it's an overblown hoax. To deniers, I ask this: how many more deaths will it take, exactly, before you admit that this is serious?
What am I wrong about? NYC lockdown seems to have been stricter than anything in Florida. Florida seems to have the first proper wave only now. I haven't thrown any personal attacks at you, just pointed out your logical failures.
Bad logic, is not more logical that the lockdown in NYC was too late to be effective? And in Florida it was early enough to keep the numbers down but unless you 100% remove it which isn't really possible the it'll get around as it's doing? NYC is a good example first state to get it and peak, Sweden good example as no lockdown, Sweden look the same on the charts, so did the late lockdown in NYC acheive anything? I say no! Do you think NYC will run again and we'll get from 0.17% to 4.8% WHO are claiming?
Not a hoax over reaction created by the media to get more views, you don't screw up the entire world put millions out of work, scare kids and ruin there schooling over a measly 0.1% mortality rate. There are those that worry about dying and those that worry about the huge damage done to the 99.9% which will survive. Very few seem to care about the damage done sadly, selfish world.
What damage? Reduced income for a while, big deal. I understand people in the 3rd world countries who are running out of money for basics like food but 1st world? How have you suffered? "Huge damage", okay drama king.
So 20million people unemployeed, Trillions spend, you consider 0.1% Mass deaths, but millions unemployeed, world put into a depression for the next few years, with millions dying homeless and from poverty is just fine. Children scared to talk to other children incase they get the virus and die, when it's killing sooooo few it's unreal, 1 in 3.5Mil last quote I heard under 13, do you consider 1:3.5Mil to be a real threat the worry about ?? The lockdowns NYC and Florida where the same time, you've just proven you haven't really got a clue what's going on, your not intelligent enough to understand, accept this and walk away is my advice.
Tsk tsk tsk @Turveyd, here you go spinning stories again. Where are the "millions dying homeless" facts from? Ah, never mind, it's just your dramatic spin. Economic cycles are a thing, this was as good a catalyst as any. People didn't save at all and spent as much as they earned, this is a lesson for them and they should learn from it. Most sensible people have savings and are doing absolutely fine. Going by your "my mate" stories, I don't know anyone who's in serious trouble. Most are surviving just fine. I think we should collect people like yourself and make you work as forced labor in the ICU Covid wards handling the patients. That would be a win/win.
