Right - Rob Gronkowski is obese according to the standard BMI metric. It's shit science. The only things that matters are your blood pressure ( and diastolic is more important than systolic), blood panel lipid spectrum, liver function, hereditary factors. If these essentials are healthy and you weight 320 lb, BMI is meaningless. In fact, you can negotiate with the those 4 if say 2.5 of them are even decent Lol.

Depends on what state you’re in and if you have a reasonable gov. The forever maskers aren’t happy with Baker. As much as I don’t care much for him in general, we’d be screwed if Healy or Curatone was gov. People need to stop worrying about it, stop watching cable news, stop with the worrying about positives, and move on with life. Problem is, the news, politicians and the hysterical won’t let the rest of us live life. This is now in the realm of hysteria. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhitinsvilleWX Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 I did what I just said not to do. I looked at the numbers. In almost every state I looked at, the deaths have been pretty much flat for 7-8 weeks. Even in Europe where cases have been up (and starting to drop btw) deaths have been flat with no spikes. I lol’ed at DC being masked up. They’re 7 day average is 61 positives, with 2 deaths in the last 10 days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except for a few really whack job places like Oregon, there’s no will to do it. Besides, nobody is dying (except for the baseline/background that’s been there for months.

This thread is my only window into COVID, it’s felt done for a long time but not sure what else we’d talk about here without it… the weather? Ha! In all seriousness though humanity loves drama. People love drama. They crave it and are obsessed with it. Addicted to 24/7 news cycles, always checking news sites, etc. COVID is drama. I truly believe people on both sides of the debate are just addicted to the drama of it all too. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean let’s be fair, we are all weather junkies and I’m addicted to looking at every model run all winter long. If a hurricane is hitting we are all addicted to the drama of it. Like Tip always talks about, we are sort of slaves to technology giving us information. Weather, sports, news, whatever. I know one up here who hates on the media for talking about COVID but then they’ll have 4 browsers open at work while eating lunch streaming FOX and CNN like they can’t get enough of it. Humans love the drama. I always say you can live in a local bubble very easily if you want to and totally tune out news. Hell I feel like I wouldn’t know if half the United States just floated away into the Pacific unless it was mentioned on this forum or maybe the Red Sox broadcast mentioned it .

The virus kills obese, elderly and other folks with one foot in the grave. We're trying to chase a common cold.

They got 17% to sign the recall. So it's a vocal minority at best. More or less you can find 20% of the population that are always mad about something the governor is doing.

PhineasC Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Just look at the "science" messaging since May. It's been all over the damned place. It definitely feels like there is more set to drop that busts the government narrative but certain parties at the Federal level are working to block or dampen it. Frankly, I am glad I have sat it out and waited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoosier Posted August 1, 2021 Share Posted August 1, 2021 Obviously deaths don't follow case trends quite like they used to, but if you look closely, deaths are starting to increase in the US. It is more noticeable when looking at graphs that have the intervals set lower, since the death numbers are *relatively* small now compared to what they have been. The real explosion in cases is a fairly recent thing, really the last 2-3 weeks. There are still a lot of unvaccinated people out there with comorbidities in the younger-middle age groups who the virus is coming for. My guess would be that average deaths per day climb into the high hundreds in a few more weeks, but we'll see. Phin will probably tell me to stop panicking or obsessing lol, but I'm not.

The wave will rise very high very fast but then wash out with a whimper, if we follow the pattern of other countries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
