Is that really the best retort you can come up with? After a soggy ass funeral quip, I expected better of you...

You CONTINUE to blatantly ignore the fact that NONE OF THE NUMBERS WE HAVE RIGHT NOW ARE STATISTICALLY RELEVANT! You’re making decisions and determinations based on hunches and guesses. If you want to continue to do so, that is fine - I have to do that quite often in my line of work, actually - but you HAVE TO PRESENT…

I hope you’re not a detective...

It does prove exactly what I claim. The WHO is LOBBYING to be allowed to come in and run the show. They want to put their people in place, their plans in action, etc. They want to be seen as the ones who can “fix” the issue. They want to usurp all other authorities on the matter.

I would disagree, but regardless, even if we have fucked it up (we haven’t), we should not be rushing to hand over control and freedoms to some group who’s motives are self-serving.

It’s not “many orders of magnitude” deadlier; it’s not even close...

You may be perfectly fine living under someone’s thumb, but I am not and never will be.

...that means getting congress to draft legislation, debate it, and pass it (especially in this day and age).

If you want the government to buy more test kits and pay drug companies to do more research, call your Representative and tell them to use their power of the purse to redirect your taxes from their friends and buddies to big pharma for a while...

I’ll let the WHO do it themselves - it’s in their statement:

I hope not. (I personally believe a lot of this virus-related stuff is simply panic induced by the 24-hour-sensationalize via the media.) Some may get sick, but hopefully not many. Our country couldn’t really tolerate that right now...

A lobbying organization issues a sensationalizes an issue and decries the handling of it by other organizations and you people just gobble it up, huh?

You’ve only “lost” money if you sell at a lower price than you bought... Right now is the time to buy a lot of these under-performing stocks.

A couple things:

We’ve also not been able to identify all cases of COVID-19. There are very, very likely many, many, many times MORE cases of COVID-19 out there that we don’t know about. There are no more deaths, however...

Which would make it similar to what other known illness???

Perhaps people in urban areas deserve to starve and not have any energy for all their toys then?

I’m going to take that as a “no” then.

CO2 and particulate emissions may be reduced this way, but NOx emissions will increase. Both are regulated/controlled now.

It allows for a determination of a SENTENCE! It does not allow intent to be used for determination of guilt/legality.
