Flu doesn’t have a .01% fatality rate. It’s more like .1%. Coronavirus is PROBABLY around 1%. But seems to be far worse for older people

The amount of obvious b.s. that the media relays without question never ceases to amaze me
It’s 100% not true, just not in the way you think. The question about would people drink Corona in the poll was unrelated to the coronavirus. It was just people saying they would never drink Corona, regardless of reasons. Cnn, and Jezebel, and YOU!, are just gullible and suckered by a fake poll engineered to get…
Yes, I had fraudulent charges once and also just had a merchant once I needed to charge back and it takes all of logging into your account and selecting the fraudulent charge and choosing an option to have them send you a new card if you think it was compromised. Takes literally less time than it takes to walk into a…
It’s far more inconvenient to go inside of a gas station and pay then to take a couple minutes to report some fraudulent charges and have your CC company send you a new card. Like even if I got caught be a skimmer or one of these vicious hackers described here every 6 months, it would still be more inconvenient to pay…
what makes her more qualified than Buttigieg? She couldn’t even run a national campaign competently, so that pretty much disqualifies her for running the country. When Buttigieg saw an early surge in support he took the money and invested heavily in Iowa and New Hampshire. Harris ignored those states and invested…
“But I do wish that more of the Democrats had more meat on their résumés.”
You put Nola and Severino’s deals in there with bafflingly little context. Nola’s deal was only giving up 1 year of free agency, at 15 million. The rest of that is just an arb buyout, and looks like a completely reasonable deal. Same with Severino. The fact that Severino immediately came down with shoulder trouble and…
You think you can successfully bunt against a 95 mph fastball or a decent major league slider? And that you can get a hit with the bunt? You’d definitely have better odds just swinging away and would be less likely to kill yourself than squaring around to bunt and not seeing the baseball until it smashes you in the…
And for the “especially in sports” part, I mean in baseball when you draft a player, it’s extremely normal for that player not to make it to the big leagues for 5 years. Teams sign 16-year-olds who aren’t expected to make it to the pros for 7 years all the time. If 7 years is too long to care about in sports, then is t…
I like that you question the logic of the Soviets being able to afford and execute this, but not the opening gateway to another dimension. Obviously no one has ever had the ability to open a dimensional portal or train telekinetic soldiers, Soviets or otherwise. In the Stranger Things universe, you have to accept that…
This article makes me seriously wonder if the writer literally doesn’t know why it’s called independence day.
This show is so dumb now. The main problem is that their lie didn’t cover a crime. The stakes aren’t real. Pushing someone who’s violently attacking his wife and having the attacker fall down the stairs isn’t a crime. Even if the cops suspected the story wasn’t completely accurate they’d have no reason to investigate,…
When I’ve seen Jennings in the later tournaments it does in fact seem like he is mailing it in a bit, at least his knowledge is not as sharp as it was during the streak, which is what you’d expect--it takes a lot of studying to keep that ability up. Jennings is going to be less motivated than Rutter because he’d make…
I have a 5-year-old and rent a house and it’s in pristine condition. It’s not that hard to not be an asshole. She did write on one wall with crayon, it took approximately 3 minutes to clean it off
I mean, it’s an awful play, but that ball was not a tailor-made double-play, it was hit too slowly and from where Kipnis was by the time the 2b field it I’d say there was about zero chance they’d turn one unless he did indeed tag Lindor and throw to 1b. Not sure where the runner from 3b was but would think the play…
Uh, they’re definitely on board to be waiters/waitresses. It’s half the job.
He’s been extremely clear that he’s not taking away any existing social program so I’m not sure how you could possibly get that impression. You’re not 100% wrong about the VAT, but there aren’t a lot of people getting anywhere close to $1000/month in welfare. If Yang implemented his UBI, medicare for all and VAT the…
Yang does not support getting rid of social welfare programs. His 1000/month UBI wouldn’t be on top of existing welfare benefits, e.g. if you were currently getting $500/month welfare you’d instead get $1000/month, but if you were currently getting $1200/month welfare you’d opt out of UBI and continue getting your…
