There was an old friend posting **** like this all day for the last couple of weeks on facebook. Nice guy but I had to unfriend him. Anybody who would w**** out the subject of child trafficking in an extremely poor attempt to undermine Covid is just ****ed in the head.
You would think with our positivity rate being so high in Texas that contact tracing would be top priority. Maybe Abbott should put more money into getting us enough contract tracers to do the job. These are the 4 top states in positive case percentages followed by the percent of contact tracers necessary to do it effectively. Texas 23.7% / 11% Mississippi 19.8% / 5% Florida 17.7% / 8% Idaho 16.6% / 10% These are the states with the lowest positive rates followed by the % of necessary contract tracers. Minnesota 0.4% / 100% Connecticut 0.7% / 100% Vermont 0.7% / 100% New York 0.9% / 100%
I see the problem, they didn't lockdown - they didn't put in the correct precautions across the board. That's how this works. Either the government makes moves to secure it's people the best it can, or it doesn't. Sweden vocally went the path of attempting herd immunity, and now you have people in economics, funded by Swedish institutes writing papers on how it wasn't really the avoidance of precautions that doomed people, it was xyz. Of course, it was. I won't deny there are ZERO possible factors that could have contributed to them having higher numbers, but the claim the lack of precautions made isn't the main reason for their numbers is bullshit. 20% of Sweden's pop are immigrants. 16% of Norway's pop are immigrants, 22% of New Zealand's pop are immigrants. Sweden's death rate per capita is nearly 1200% higher than Norway's.
@Os Trigonum If you have a serious opinion on this discuss it, I'm taking my time to write replies not to the links, but to you. For all I know you're posting these links with no sincerity behind the subject, but as a quick way to get a "rise" out of me, something I remember you admitting to doing on here.
dude where you been? why are you even engaging him? he should stop posting since he is now past context and posting gibberish. big pictute it is interesting.. this site has people and personas and known trolls and yet people like you continue to engage it and act like the arguments are good faith. why? it gets to the point where I have to start to question the people responding. you are better than this. of course its to get a rise out of you and its not even clever or interesting. thats the part Im disappointed in. i wish it had an ounce of intrigue. like all else tricknology and troll. yawn. i fall for it too sometimes when bigot tx posts but thats on me and only because I get guilty pleasure in schooling him. its like putting on my town and country surf shirt and swatch and getting medieval 80s on yo ass
I don't think he's a troll, even if he trolls. I think he's wrapped in the libertarian ideology, as I've wrapped in the soc dem ideology. He reads from what seems like 20+ obscure libertarian blogs, that funk would be odd to fake.
haha you are the one asking ( so what does that tell you einstein) when dude admits openly he is not operating on any good faith argument. he should be banned and no place for it but the fact you are falling for it is tad amusing carry on
What a horrible idea to adopt that failure. Look at their death rate compared to all of their neighbors. https://newsroom.uvahealth.com/2020/07/03/covid-19-deaths-in-sweden/ Also their numbers improved when citizens increased their mask wearing and social distancing even though it wasn't mandatory. But wait, there's more... https://www.webmd.com/lung/news/20200813/swedens-no-lockdown-policy-didnt-achieve-herd-immunity https://www.usnews.com/news/health-...o-lockdown-policy-didnt-achieve-herd-immunity https://www.msn.com/en-nz/news/worl...paid-off-or-is-elimination-better/ar-BB18arpp https://www.forbes.com/sites/mishag...t-covid-19-herd-immunity-failed/#3caefd95541c

Early on, cassidy resisted mask wearing: More recently, he argued for kids returning to school: https://wgno.com/news/health/coronavirus/sen-bill-cassidy-says-students-should-return-to-school/
I'm just wondering. With football about to start up, are they going to allow tailgating in Houston at the college and pro stadiums? How about around Texas? That's all we need is mass maskless gatherings every week during the pandemic.
UH isn’t setting up their tailgating pavilion this season or having their indoor practice stadium open before games for indoor tailgating. They have social distancing in the stands and no one is allowed in without wearing a mask. I have 4 season tickets...still not sure if I am going to use, definitely not bringing my two younger sons, but at least they are trying since they are going ahead with this. Not sure about other schools.
