You are looking at the raw numbers of people who have died from the different illnesses. What is perhaps more salient is what are you chances of dying from the flu or Covid-19 if you get infected.

Is it less dangerous that the flu though?

Man worried about recession causes recession. 

Millennials are insufferable

The vehicles themselves are zero-emissions.

Later today: “Trump Names James Woods as Interim Director of CDC”

How did the CDC present their recommendation? Unless they had a blonde shout it from a couch like Fox & Friends, there’s no way The Impeached One’s team would see it.

I have a Jeep so I should get 707999

I find people whole scold about language and appearance tend to be the biggest monsters, Dr. Cosby.

That’s why I’m in favor of Thorium reactors rather than an over reliance on renewables that require large scale battery storage. (Though I’m also totally in favor of tons of renewables, just want a more reliable base load.)

Though LFP batteries lack some energy density, they often make up for it with really good charge and discharge rates. A 3-5C charge and discharge rate is fairly typical with them. That’s kind of a double whammy in a good way in a certain sense as well, because a lower energy capacity means less overall power required…

The Chevrolet Impala is ceasing production next week

People are looking for an easy way out of a bad situation, the dealer is offering them that. Often these folks lack the thinking skills to question the details.
