Decent take on the panic

Did you have an opinion on the article? Or just wanted to bitch about ammoland?
I think it mirrors my own opinion even though I was even more skeptical at the outset and remain so. It seemed to me you were less fearful at the beginning but have mood away from that position for whatever reason.

I'm not bitching about ammoland.
I'm pointing out a false equivalency

Fair enough Steve- but I don't totally agree with it.... Why do we have at least 3X more the number of cases than anyone else in the world? Looking at the numbers- yeah even Sweden- If you get diagnosed with covid, and you're old- your odds of dying from it go way up- to the 4% range. I don't have any proof, but I'll hazard a guess the population in Sweden is a lot healthier than the USA, and outside of Stockholm the county is a whole lot of nothing- covid cases are concentrated in big cities, and Stockholm had their fair share..... Though their point- maybe we should have gone about this differently, locked up us old codgers, and let the young 'uns run free- I can respect it. But it's water over the dam now, what's done is done. That JH graph shows on a worldwide level- the pandemic is far from over. USA? The # of cases and deaths is trending down. We'll know in another week or two for sure if this national lock down was a big boo-boo. Should we have traded off more short term deaths for faster long term herd immunity? We'll never know....

Here's a couple of
MAGAantivaxxer women?Now don't falsely accuse those snowflake MAGAs. Though the antivaxx crowd is even more loony. Gates want to implant a microchip in you along with a covid vaccine.

Why, if you're not a leftist, would you assume anti vaxxers to be predominantly right-wing?
That's an interesting position for a person who has been strenuously objecting to their characterization, on this board, as a leftist to be taking.
Early man walked away as modern man took control. Their minds weren't all the same and to conquer was their goal. So He built his great empires and he slaughtered his own kind, and he died a confused man and killed himself in his own mind... -
US compared to Sweden, ok. How do we compare in life expectancies, mortality rates and pretty much every health related metric?
Unfortunately we will never know what the country would’ve looked like had we simply just banned gatherings of 50 or more.
On the broader scope of fear mongering and using it to herd the masses. The playbook has been utilizing fear to get people in line for the better part of my life.

This wasn't a left-right characterization. At least as far as the antivaxxers are concerned. Wackiness spans all political spectrums...

Steve, with my science background- does not compute. How did Tokyo come through virtually unscathed with no lockdown, yet similar NYC had 40 times the number of cases?

I know, those New Yorkers just didn't shoot up enough lysol or drink enough bleach to keep the numbers down.

Vambo take me to it but yes. Cuomo and de Blasio have done everything the Trump haters accuse him of having done. Almost everything. They said that a travel ban was an act of War. Anyway this is from Newsweek a known Trump hater so I doubt they are sugarcoating it. Bottom line is probably just Mass Hysteria and how a lot of people love to be involved in that. Makes them feel special.
PS the Japanese are known to be a very clean bunch of people.

No you don't know TDS guy..
It's Democrats.
How many deaths is your hero Deblasio responsible for by forcing COVID patients into nursing homes again? CNN didn't tell you that did they?

It sure as hell wasn't responsible for X thousands. And Deblasio isn't my hero either, so stuff it.

Trump / Trump jr. 2024 2028...
Eric Trump / Trump jr 2032 2036
This isn't all in the family.... Though you'd probably vote for Archie Bunker for President instead....
# Never Trump- I gave the guy a year in office to try and change my mind- but it went all downhill from there....
Ya see the problem with the MAGAs here is- it's beyond their ability to comprehend that you can be a true Republican- who thinks Trump is a petty, lying SOB who's unfit to serve as President.
Now he's on the warpath with Twitter for daring to fact check his outright lies. See what I mean? Probably not.
