PERMA IGNORE FOR YOU!!!!!!

It must be odd being in a forum where you've put every other poster on 'ignore'. Peaceful, but boring. Zen as the sound of one poster posting. (Not you - the ingnorer guy)

It's mostly to stop the bandwidth wasting trolls. But it appears to be entertainment for many posters to engage with noise and chaos generators.

I rarely participate in such matters as everyone is easily offended or whatever but i can only hope from the ashes of this khaos that just perhaps a new party arises. Why is it always Rep vs Dem? I vote for neither cause well i got views that are applied by both parties, yet i have my own ideas that honestly beg for their own party. Not going into detail about that as someone as always will be offended but lets say this could be a way better country.

I will hint, the idea of a Roman sorta empire will great today. A gov for the people by the people. None of this non sense bullshit fighting, all the puppet master pulling their strings to distract everyone.
You mean like a Roman Republic?

Yup before i read ALL the comments, i KNEW there would be nothing but negative energy and retorts. Its bad enough my best friend who is Rep wishes death on liberal school children cause of their views on the border and this entire virus thing and his sister who is dem wants nothing but death to any Rep who even supports Trump. She would be wishing death on easily half of you. Heck i had a death threat come my way once when i agreed on something Trump said. That was the last time i got political till now.

Glad to see i was right, sorry i am a free thinker with different ideas. You guys go ahead, have your fun with your hate mongering and your arguments and your radical ideas that will get millions prob killed. I will exit this thread as of NOW not to return. Any negative private messages my way will result in a immediate perm ignore of such person. You been warned.

You're best friends with an adult who wishes death on little kids?

Even if 60% are asymptomatic the mortality rate is still very bad. Lets look at the current numbers for the US from (https://www.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashboard/index.html#/bda7594740fd40299423467b48e9ecf6):
Confirmed Cases: 760,245
Total Deaths: 40,690
Death Rate: 40690/760245 * 100 = 5.35%

60% of Cases Asymptomatic: 760245/4 * 10 = 1,900,613
Total Deaths: 40690
Death Rate: 40690/1900613*100 = 2.14%

So currently the US is at a 5.35% death rate and the 60% asymptomatic (best case) death rate is currently 2.14%. This makes Covid 19 anywhere from 21 to 53 times more deadly than the flu. Which is still really really bad...
That is true if every person with any symptoms has been tested, which not even all the people being counted in the death figures were tested. But I agree, if the number is only 60% that have gotten it but not tested the numbers are still pretty bad. But 2.1% is about a year and a half of all cause mortality in the US, as opposed to 3.5 years at 5.35% so it is still a massive improvement.

In a couple weeks we'll see what the death and hospitalization rate from the ship is and it'll put the numbers into better perspective.

Saw a couple articles today that give hope that there is a massive under count, antibody testing in LA County showing 210K-440K people might have already been infected vs an official number of just below 8,000. In Boston a homeless shelter tested 397 people, 146 were infected only a couple with symptoms.

Right now I am going to file it mostly in the wishful thinking bin and assume the true death rate is somewhere between 1 and 3%, while hoping for significantly less.

That assumes, though, that all the symptomatic cases have been confirmed, i.e. it neglects all the cases that are neither asymptomatic nor confirmed.

The case fatality rate is probably a lot less than that 2.14%. But I presume we won't know what it is (was) till long after this is over, when maybe we can test loads of people for antibodies and work out how many people had it, and also look at the excess death rates and work out how many more people died than normally would.

I'm inclined to guess that the rate is about 1%. But given how contagious it is almost everyone will eventually get it, so that's a lot of deaths. But those are just wild guesses on my part.
Just looking at excess deaths will probably over tell the direct story. I was reading yesterday how many people are refusing to go to the hospital for symptoms of heart attacks and appendicitis, etc. So then when they do show up, they are in way worse condition than if they had gone early.

This is why I've thought from the beginning they should separate the hospitals as much as possible.

The Diamond Princess or the Aircraft Carrier?

More than one supposed expert used the former to argue the CFR wasn't as high as claimed, but they did so long before any of the passengers had recovered, which really damaged their credibility for me. Since they used that data to declare the fatality rate was 1%, the number of dead passengers has increased to almost 2% - and some are _still_ very ill. Of course, they were all pretty old - the aircraft carrier would provide data for the reverse situation, all exceptionally young and fit.

Very easily can be sure, his wishes are more like angry rants as he never means it . Not going into details as well it would derail the thread. Gonna keep it real short, some people wanna own other people with legalized slavery hiring illegals so they can work for a quarter. My friend despises anyone who wants illegal immigration and coming from the most beautiful generation ever he has seen quite a bit changed. He longs for the days where people made some damn sense.

I mentioned it merely to show how angry politics can make people. The one comment at post #231 is wrong, typical politics to jump to a conclusion as usual. Its why besides my view on illegal immigration i pick no party. No party on this earth i believe to even still. I don't believe in legalized slavery with people working for a quarter so rich liberals who can't move their own ass and pick their own fruits in the fields can sit on their ass even a bit more and even conjure up some very stupid shit like abortion as well. I wish they would pick their own fruits cause honestly we may get less stupid ideas if someone kept them busy.

Fix their country perhaps with funding, make it a beautiful place to live again perhaps so less wanna come to this shit hole? Why do people feel the need to take advantage of these people? Humanitarian here so yeah i care for people. I see nothing but people wanting to own other people in a sense, that is how corrupt this world is.

A PM? Haha. Fuck your deities.

Message posted for all to see

Yeah cause he took me off the streets when i was homeless, been more of a father to me and has been more charitable then most i ever known. Like i said he gets angry and says things out of anger. He never has meant any but yeah like i said as well politics obviously triggers him and his sister. It's why i never try and participate. Also its all controlled all the news and everything so yeah listen to all the lies man preaches to control you and your thinking ok?

NEVER scuff at deities and gods you never understand. The very fact we got this virus is cause of Karma for us destroying this planet. You think your little LOL is gonna be overlooked? Yeah be careful is all i ask.

Nice threats. Your fear of angering this "friend" makes you complicit in his deplorable opinions.

NOW your derailing the thread,the message was meant not to further derail . Not a threat if you understand things. Obviously you don't and that is ok. People always shun what they don't understand its part of their nature.

Mods if you see post 241, please perhaps edit or remove it? I private messaged this person to not derail and looks like he is officially doing as such and with serious angry intent too . I did my best here. I can't do no more besides ignore now. Well besides get out of this toxic thread. As typical there is essentially ALWAYS gonna be something that is going to trigger someone and i want no more part of that.

Haha, I find you humorous at worst. This high and mighty attitude you portray is well known to me, as in your God. I did the same song and dance before I grew up some.

How about not PMing people with your problems. It was possible to answer the question succinctly, but that doesn't appear to be your style. Your style is the same as others who cherish their holier than thou attitude, talking in circles and enjoying the clicky clack of your keyboard a little too much.

Toss in a little projection, and your a typical 'Murican.

Edit: In case you didn't notice, I have very little patience for religious nutters who are so impressed with their own self that they think nobody could quite comprehend what goes on in their heads. News flash, billions of people think just like you.

Yeah, I meant the carrier. I hadn't realized the death toll from the Diamond had climbed so much.

I think you're an ok person, but if you aren't willing to be open about what you believe is the right thing to do or express your opinions I am not really sure why you are here. This is a political forum and the heart of politics is conflict between people who hold differing views. Its messy, its ugly, and yes occasionally its nasty like people are.

Generally speaking the best way to get along here in this forum is to use facts and be able to provide sources for your claims.

As someone who was in the navy I hate to break it to you but I’m not so sure about the ‘fit’ part. I remember one guy on my ship was so fat he could barely fit through the hatches.

liberate the white house.

This...

Woodrow Wilson once observed "Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide."

Trump's going on the air every day and doing a better job of discrediting his presidency than most anyone could do.
