    That new COVID peak? It's NOT HAPPENING. Everyone is healthy and no one is getting sick -- just ignore those new hospitalization peaks. Ignore all those hospitals in hard hit states that are out of ICU space.

    He's like the 5 or 6 frequent deniers on this site no amount of outbreak will phase them and differentiating between different areas ( for best practice ) only matters to them if it's Sweden. We got this post from Jem :

    There is a world of evidence on this in real world. He's still demanding proof. Deny deny deny ... Another thread has two idiots from the UK and Spain pretending the "overreaction" is the problem and outlining how they don't follow regulations. Not coincidentally, in my opinion, the UK and Spain are having some of the worst second wave outbreaks on the planet.

    We are at point where some people are just willfully ignorant doubling and tripling down on their ignorance and frankly these are the people who need to be called out on their shit in public. If it wasn't life and death for thousands a week it would be comical how clueless these people are.

    The U.S. is lagging about three weeks behind Europe in the current COVID surge...

    Lockdowns Near as European Governments Run Out of Options
    https://www.bloomberg.com/news/arti...r-european-governments-running-out-of-options
    • Surging cases forcing officials to consider ever tighter curbs
    • Hospitals risk being overwhelmed as medical staff fall ill
    The drastic step that no European politician wanted to take again is back on the agenda: lockdown.

    French President Emmanuel Macron -- whose government carefully avoided publicly discussing a national shutdown through a recent surge in coronavirus cases -- relented on Friday, acknowledging that the country could be heading back toward broader restrictions on movement.

    Like other leaders in the region, Macron is running out of options. As officials from Dublin to Prague grapple with the resurgent pandemic, their efforts to limit the virus’s spread with softer measures -- from mandatory mask-wearing to partial curfews -- aren’t working.

    For Italy’s Giuseppe Conte and Germany’s Angela Merkel, there are high political stakes. While they were lauded for how they managed the first wave, criticism is now growing. People are fed up, divisions between local and national governments are mounting, and if a prolonged lockdown is the ultimate answer, they will be blamed for wrecking economies.

    “Many countries are now facing the spectre of shutdowns in the coming weeks,” Michael Ryan, director of the World Health Organization’s emergencies program, told reporters in a briefing late on Monday. “Getting ahead is one thing -- and Europe certainly got ahead of this virus in the late spring, early summer. The real question is, how do you stay ahead of this virus.”

    The new coronavirus wave looks different from the first. Case numbers appear far higher, but increased testing is catching more. Meanwhile, the number of fatalities and patients requiring hospital care are much lower than in the spring, but rising worryingly now.

    With health-care services gradually coming under strain, one blunt tool remains: shutter the economy and order people to stay home.

    rather than continuing to be a lying ass idiot...
    just produce a study.

    In June the CDC said it was unknown...

    We don’t actually have that answer yet’: WHO clarifies comments on asymptomatic spread of Covid-19

    https://www.statnews.com/2020/06/09/who-comments-asymptomatic-spread-covid-19/


    At the time I wrote that... I found no studies which traced any spread to the asymptomatic.

    Now... do you have any scientific proof...
    otherwise... like I tell GWB
    shut the fuck about shit you don't know and don't bring me into it.

    Science and data is all I ask... not bullshit.

    Jem... I have no idea what to believe but one thing I can tell you 1000%... @ninender is about as equipped to intelligently debate with you about this stuff as I am equipped to debate Xi Jinping about a theory on communist manifesto being revealed in 13th century Chinese poetry.

    Stick to debating GWBtrading, whom I side with btw on all things masks etc. :D

    This is where I give up on you; you have terrible judgement. Jem has a B. of Arts and is prone to superstition and absurd theories about the world. As for trading, I don't remember Jem providing a single trading idea in years on this site. I, however, provided at least a dozen really strong ideas most of which worked out rather well. The reason I don't post more ideas and more specifics is because there are too many idiots on here like you who pretend to care about trading but really just want to troll.

    North Dakota has the highest Covid related per capita death rate in the world right now because they simply refuse to wear masks.

    Absolutely mind boggling this is happening the United States. The Republican failure on Covid is historic. People are dying by the thousands from ignorance based on politics of all things. Incredible.

    At least a dozen? I've only seen the one you gave me.
    That said, I put out a dozen at least every two weeks or so.
    You can have your opinions, but you can't rewrite facts.

    Hell Stoney and my thread, of which we are the only two posters has 43,000 views since May.
    Once again... stick to the facts. Thats why I told Jem what I did.
    Its like your "catching covid via the jet-stream" remarks. I mean wtf. :D Really?

    Dr. Birx slams the lack of mask usage in North Dakota, where Covid-19 is soaring

    Maybe they need to learn from Arizona....

    COVID-19 cases in Arizona dropped 75% after mask mandates began, report says

    A quick search of Politics shows ZERO threads started in 2020 with that many views. When you top that my friend.... you can call me a troll and not a trader. I paid more in commissions in 2019 before everyone went to $0/trade... than your entire account is probably worth.

    :rolleyes:
