The US is pretty close to that right now... Australia and Canada are head scratchers for me... big wide open countries with relatively few cases. Right…. Is not a great example, but the numbers are what they are, even with it being contagious. Mass dropped the mask mandate, what, 2+ weeks ago now? And there hasn’t been one hint of an increase Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can kill 60-70k actually....2017-2018 flu season had around that number. The "delta" variant breakthroughs aren't all that compelling unless they are killing vaccinated people.

TauntonBlizzard2013 Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 The Australia stuff is really bizarre. They truly are going for zeros across the board there. And as soon as they open anything or to anyone; they’ll get some cases, so I guess they’ll shut it down again. I guess they can puff out their chest and say look at how low our covid cases are! As people are locked in hotel rooms and their homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Texas situation might be the single most damning piece of evidence against continued lockdowns anywhere, and possibly against lockdowns outside of the peak as well. Countless pundits and political figures condemning Texas, and I believe someone even called it a “disaster waiting to happen” and it just never materialized, and nobody ever heard about it again. I didn’t think it was a great idea, but the numbers are what they are, it has almost no effect 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I saw Gonzales hit like 89.6mph on his fastball... lol. A utility infielder. Give him a role. I loved @Great Snow 1717's take yesterday... that Fenway Security needed to start removing women and children from the Monster Seats and Bleachers before someone got killed by the lasers being hit into those seats by the Blue Jays. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, there will no doubt be outbreaks in the south this summer with Delta but since the mRNA vaccines are quite protective there's only so much people can do. If you chose not to get the shot, that's your choice, but we shouldn't start locking stuff down because of it. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t think it was a great idea, but the numbers are what they are, it has almost no effect Not to foment the 'anti-response crowd' ( lol - ) But I partially agree. I said the following months and months and months back to the beginning of this mess, that it is an experiment, really. It's really about a sociotechnological evolution we are in, where it is possible to even try? - unprecedented in that sense, actually. The last time the entire world and all sovereignties agreed upon a course of action, at this recent scale, was WWII. But what we are trying to do here is defeat a biology on this planet that has been around for 3 BILLION years. Whether this virus was doctored by human's as a bio-weapon and is being suppressed as a truth or not, viruses behave the same way. 3 billion years, a time span in which no other countermanding force has been capable of stopping them. Using what? distancing and washing hands? Oh, try - sure. By all means. In fact, the experiment is part of the evolutionary process and has to happen - I don't think, however, that means we can also look back in 20/20 and say we should have known better - experiments are always an iterative process. The other aspect is, ...we cannot prove how many people's lives were improved, or even saved, if we did nothing at all - it's arguing against NULL space in that sense; the null space has no data to serve as proof/advocate. Simply put, we don't know what we did to 'save the crisis' because we don't have that data to look at - just an assumption that it did something. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I always wanted to experience -50 and 120, I kind of experienced -50 at Skagway, they had a gold mining attraction and they had a freezer room that was -50 but you knew you could open the door and it was 50 so not the same but hurt nonetheless. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sometimes making an appointment at a place like a DMV/RMV sounds like a better way than showing up and waiting two hours. Or is it like every Apple Store on the planet where they make you make an appointment and then you still wait for 1-2 hours. “Welcome to Apple, we see your appointment is for 2:45pm, but we are running a little behind. How does 3:45pm sound?” 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

powderfreak Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Vladdy Jr is something else. Home run #22 to tie it against the Sox in the bottom of the 9th.
