  2. i am sure all of them will just have positive tests and be asympotmatic but what if one of the older farts goes under a respirator.... like this is not the bubonic plague but what will it take to stop focusing so much on calling it the China Virus and actually come up with a national strategy like every other country has done...

    If Trump comes out today I'll be somewhat surprised.

    He favors the developer technique of stringing, shameless along over-promise and under-deliver as this works with stupid people but 2-3 days since he went in? His fear of looking weak is going to get others, or more, infected.

    I can't get behind the paywall of your article. Can you tell me how many secret service agents they are saying died?

  5. So they have to die first? The (unnecessary) risk alone is not enough for you?

    Actually, risk is based on the fact that people died in the past, is it not? Isn't that how they determine what the case fatality rate is, which then leads to how lethal a disease is, and then what I should do and whether I should take it seriously?

    If you're going to claim that the agents were at risk, you need to prove they were made more at risk from this event than any other event in the past by any other President. So you'd kinda need to start with COVID death rates for their demographic, right?

    Lets start there. Shall we look at death rates for healthy agents in their age group and see?

  8. You're being absurd and obtuse. I cannot have an exchange with you when you are behaving this way. Have a day.

    I think the same of you many times, Fred. But in the interest of dialogue, I try to explain my point and listen to yours. I read the articles you post, I listen to your points. I don't insult you and I don't try to shut the conversation down.

    I'm asking simple questions about how one defines risk. If you're going to claim the agents were at risk, but unwilling to back that up with how you're defining the risk, and this actually pisses you off, perhaps you shouldn't be trying to discuss things with people on a political message forum?

    Or you can just block anyone with opposing viewpoints to yourself. I think they call that an "echo chamber".
