I’m glad you brought this up. That’s the current official case mortality rate. I don’t think it’ll be the actual mortality rate, but I figured you would. You seem to be ignoring the experts/science in terms of projected cases if we open up, you seem to be ignoring the experts/science in terms of how many people could be killed by this thing, so why the fuck would you be paying attention to the experts/science on the likely IFR?
No, it’s really not. It’s like the bottom percentile of trump supporting deplorables. Poll after poll shows the vast majority of Americans, including several polls showing a majority of republicans supporting the lockdowns.

I don’t think Inso has done anything to warrant containment.
Maybe if Inso got to wirelessbro levels and was posting all over the place, I’d think about it. But Inso has a long way to go until he hits those depths.
Inso is also the gift that keeps on giving. If we keep him out of all active threads then we rob ourselves of the opportunity to behold his brilliant examples of coherent thought. We can all use a chuckle now and then. And if we’re really lucky we may even see the next dinosaur nostrils essay!

My dad recently informed me of the new derposphere take about how the 1968 hong kong flu killed 100k Americans while taking zero precautions including hosting woodstock and how it mostly killed olds.
I think in their mind well this is going to kill like 100k and that killed like 100k so there is no point of doing a lockdown?
Although hes one of the high risks so he wasn’t really buying it, just kinda wanted me to debunk it for his other derper friends on FB.
I almost posted that here but yea I came across it twice on Facebook in the last couple days. It actually goes on to say that 100K is a portion of the population then that would equate to like 220K now so really this isn’t even as bad as it was. The articles I read had some nice anecdotes from people that were alive then saying they don’t even remember hearin about it really and it was no big deal. Of course also it mentions woodstock. It also mentions trys to go down the path of well people these days are coddled and if we let our kids be exposed to more things etc etc this probably wouldn’t be a big deal now etc.
It’ll turn into a " see we didn’t used to make a big deal about these things, whole world is just pretending to freak out to hurt Trump! "

There has to be some truth to this. I’m not talking anti-vaxx insanity or anything, but I’m definitely from a “you’re fine, go rub some dirt on it” and “life isn’t fair, stop bitching and do something about it” family background.
People are way too soft in 2020.
real shocker

The young people aren’t the ones at risk, they’re sacrificing for the pudgy weak olds because they have empathy. They aren’t arguing to continue lockdowns because they’re soft lol.
And I’d be surprised if you ever faced significant hardships in your life.

The same people like Inso0 who complained for years that “millenials” were soft and needed “safe spaces” think its cool to bring AR15s in public because they couldn’t get a haircut for a month.

Creationists are now all about believing in the dinosaurs
They just say the flood put dirt on top of them so we think the fossils are older than the 6,000 years of the earth
But they believe in them and put them in creationist museums now so Inso has dropped the Dino nostrils thing and loves them again.
