Still waiting for your point of your original reply to me.............you sure are shucking and jiving to avoid that aren't you? By the way, you probably want to take a look at the definition of "ad hominem", it doesn't mean what you appear to think it means. The actual definition is "a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument". It's not the "get out of jail free" trump card that you throw down any time your position is demonstrated to be unsupportable, as you and so many others here appear to think. It's actually not even a personal attack per se. I could say you're a stupid stupid dumb dumb and that would be a personal attack but not necessarily an ad hominem attack unless that was my justification for my underlying position. For example, say you made a rational and coherent argument about why elected officials in democracies err on the side of caution in epidemics and I provided an argumentative and meaningless answer. Then when asked what my point was replied "Looks like you'll need to read it again for the point...cut down the projection and persnickety reactions and maybe you'll find it." then I would certainly be deflecting and avoiding taking responsibility for my answer, but I wouldn't quite yet be engaged in an ad hominem attack. If you replied with "In other words, you have no clue what your point was. Noted.", then you'd just be correctly pointing out the current situation, since I was clearly unable to state my point. Now if I then responded with "No, your ego is too big and your reasoning ability is too small so you're only left with ad hominems, apparently." then that would be an ad hominem attack! At that point I would have abandoned all pretenses of a genuine discussion of the topic at hand, instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument. Quite literally the definition of ad hominem. Sound familiar? Heck, you've provided close to a textbook example of an ad hominem attack right here in this thread. Not to mention the fact that you ended your ad hominem attacks with an accusation that I was engaged in an ad hominem attack! That's a level of blatant projection the likes of which is seldom seen in the wild! Congratulations, you're providing spectacular examples of obnoxious behavior that most people have too much pride to attach even a pseudonym to.
I had to read your message post twice because the first time I thought you said "South France"...that would cause me to log into my home security cameras (inside / outside) to see what's going on considering I'm not there. Just checked twitter...no news yet about any tanks nor martial law in South Florida. I know that Senator from Florida talked about martial law many days ago @ https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2...vid19-marco-rubio-marshall-law-vs-martial-law In reality, he was only talking about restriction of business hours and the misinformation about martial law. wrbtrader
there's likely a base down there taking delivery and people are freaking out about some cryptic facebook post.
Russia wont screw itself over wwit for the world to screw itself up with madness and and take over. Tanks lol going to shoot the virus lol madness! Just accept old people might die and move on, there old, they've lived, its normal, nature even.
Lucky to be a retail trader...right...we're already home bound. https://www.deseret.com/u-s-world/2...ovid19-lockdowns-illinois-new-york-california As New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo stated...“Accept it and realize it and deal with it.” Also, its a time of the year when many military branches are moving equipment around via convoys. Very easy for someone to misinterpret what they see. It's easy to swim the misinformation out there. If they have their weapons out...you have a problem as someone once stated from Kent State. wrbtrader
Interview with a German virologist -highly credentialed. Worth watching for a different take. Some really good facts. Coronavirus is fear porn. The situation is OVER in China, with a mere 4000 deaths vs easily 20 times that for the other flus. That's the future spread scenario. Why don't we shut down the entire global economy for the other flus which kill 25 times the number of people the CV will? And I will bet $1000 - literally put it in escrow - that the annual death toll from CV will be Max of 20% of the annual flu deaths (500k) = >100k deaths from CV.
Atleast someone else thinks this, the new PC is panic and fear and over reaction and locking yourself in the house incase for most you get a mild cold. Starving poor people are going to be rioting and looting out of desperation, hence the guard going in, I bet nobody will report the deaths from the treatment. Yes, we've saved 2000nd old people from dying although there already dead since and we've only had to sacrifice 4Mil people to do so.
Credentials don't count in real life. Fear porn ? ... Didn't know that porn was contagious. Situation over in China ? Don't you want let time does its job ? A mere 4000 deaths ? Is it really the end ? Can we trust the number ? Did we quarantine the entire world for other Flu ? Maybe our precaution hide worst cases. Your bet ain't fair. Because we are actively fighting it, And you want to bet on a lower figure than some wild disease ? But anyway you're missing some non linearity here. We have enough hospital beds for other flus. LOL Yes fires are milder if there are firefighter around.
Starting to seem that everyone has had it, everyone is immune and it's it's fine and the death rate is well laughably small. It seems, most people have it, without realising they have it, it's so bad!! WORLD IS GOING CRAZY!! My GF's mom, she had from Singapore, no way she avoided it, guessing despite being 73 had it, no symptoms, most old people won't even show symptoms FFS!!
