    This was from the late Mr Cain in late April:





    Ugh. While it might be true, enough people do get sick to overwhelm the medical system without steps taken to lower the risk. As someone with a computer science and math degree, he wasn’t showing a very good understanding of probability and the message he spread not only cost him his life but possibly that of others who believe him, too.

    So you are basically admitting that Republicans are not wearing a mask to stick it to the liberals, and this is in turn costing some Republicans their lives.

    it's Nadler's fault Cain died because Nadler is so annoying you want to do the opposite of what he endorses?

    I had a couple of people I know that are quite religious tell me that we need to severely punish atheist China for their wicked virus and for killing “a great warrior for Christ” in Herman Cain.

    Cain was an OG.

    Some businesses shouldn't open up with the proper protocol, for example movie theaters, large in door conventions, indoor restaurants. Unfortunately AC and heating recirculates the virus.

    'Vast Majority' ... I keep hearing this phrase regarding corona virus infection.

    Most businesses are open. The businesses that are not open are the businesses where the virus spreads easily because they can’t or won’t take the needed measures to protect their customers.

    Again, most businesses are open. Bars and restaurants have been hit hard, I get that. But, we have seen that when these establishments try to open to large crowds, the virus spikes up. People in close proximity eating and drinking will cause the virus to spread. Having said that, the restaurants in my area south of Houston are open. Dining rooms are at a lower capacity, but I can eat at a restaurant if I want to. Most every store I want to shop is open.

    I feel bad for the bar owners, but I think it’s good that they are closed.

    Things I tell high school students. 98% might seems good when it comes to your score on a history test, but it is rather crappy if we are talking about the chance of not contracting a virus during the course of the upcoming day.


    What are good odds depends on the consequences that follow the probability.

    Well, I wouldn't want anyone to die, truly, but Herman Cain acted stupidly. He must have tired of waiting for Christ to show up here on Earth, because the high-risk cancer survivor chose to go deliver pizza to his King. "Pepperoni and mushroom. Great. I ordered supreme. No, no, no, too late now. I'll eat it." Pause. "You are not waiting for a tip. Right?"

    Certain things you just don't do. You don't go to the Grand Canyon and stand on the edge leaning way out, telling your wife, "Take the picture now, take the piiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii.............." You don't go up to a snarling pit bull. You don't flout basic safety measures during a pandemic, especially if you're older and have a history of health issues.

    You just don't.

    The silent majority agree with the vast majority language concerning the Chinese virus.


    * On a side note I over heard a guy say: "Yeah my grams got that chink virus. She wore a mask and avoided China town so no idea how she got." .... then later made a comment about Bill Gates maybe giving it to her through her prescription medication......... the guy was about 50 years old in a suit.

    In this case it was downtown Chicago on the Gold Coast. I had to meet a client there...... I over heard the conversation while standing outside waiting for the client to come down. Funny enough it was the Trump Tower.

    LOL This was in downtown Chicago in a very wealthy area. The man was very well dressed and it honestly took me by surprise when he said it because I did not expect that type of language from him (my mistake for assuming). Down in that area most of the people have post graduate degrees are wealthy and from outside the USA... so his accent (very Chicago) and his statement was jarring to me.
