I was comparing it to a control situation of no state action in response to SARS-CoV-2. Ghavrel Send a noteboard - 10/06/2020 02:09:19 AM

Certainly the protests acting the way they are will cause a spike in covid-19 cases, but if they don't cause a substantial one, it doesn't necessarily disprove that the rules that have been established (they're guidelines here in Louisiana; plenty of people aren't wearing masks) were an overreaction.

Many of the protesters are wearing masks.

Knowledge is always uncertain, there will always be under and overreactions. Roland00 - 08/06/2020 07:06:35 PM 383 Views
I would expect so, yes. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2020 08:00:59 PM 199 Views
That yes is for which question? Or is it for both? *NM* damookster - 08/06/2020 08:23:06 PM 206 Views
The first one. Otherwise I'd have said no and yes. *NM* Legolas - 08/06/2020 09:19:48 PM 197 Views
Yes, I believe we will... fionwe1987 - 08/06/2020 10:15:30 PM 411 Views
Why are you so invested in either closing down the country or the seriousness of the flu? Cannoli - 09/06/2020 06:37:24 PM 453 Views
Because I care about my fellow human being, cockroach. Go infest somewhere else. I'm done with you. *NM* fionwe1987 - 09/06/2020 08:35:42 PM 209 Views
Except you don't. You really, REALLY want this disease to be worse than it is. Cannoli - 12/06/2020 11:06:50 AM 426 Views
Sure. Anyone who disagrees with you wants mass poverty or mass death. No other possibility exists... fionwe1987 - 12/06/2020 02:44:08 PM 401 Views
Fionwe same as other alt-left crazies Nargs - 16/06/2020 05:24:12 PM 439 Views

Dissonance Nargs - 16/06/2020 08:02:08 PM 379 Views
Do you think it's possible to disagree, even vehemently damookster - 16/06/2020 08:14:50 PM 438 Views
I'm sure it is, in some conditions. fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:43:50 PM 426 Views

You're right but on race? Nargs - 16/06/2020 08:08:40 PM 420 Views
Yes, you're right. damookster - 16/06/2020 08:17:04 PM 376 Views
You realize that's not a contradiction, right? fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:49:56 PM 404 Views
A few points gban007 - 17/06/2020 09:29:15 PM 395 Views

Burning down corporate stores and taking their stolen wealth is a moral good. *NM* Ghavrel - 15/06/2020 12:04:52 AM 212 Views
Stolen Wealth? Jeordam - 15/06/2020 04:50:59 PM 415 Views
How does one determine what is Original Sin? Roland00 - 15/06/2020 05:17:37 PM 404 Views
So then.... Jeordam - 15/06/2020 09:59:31 PM 398 Views
I'm uncertain if this is what Ghavrel meant, but I'd assume you don't need proof that slavery... fionwe1987 - 15/06/2020 07:59:07 PM 395 Views
So we're talking about reparations....? Jeordam - 15/06/2020 09:42:37 PM 407 Views
Why must money solve "all" issues? fionwe1987 - 15/06/2020 11:32:05 PM 382 Views

Well that's some special nonsense fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 09:55:42 PM 406 Views
We're having a discussion...please try and not denigrate me. Jeordam - 17/06/2020 05:26:36 PM 383 Views
But I didn't clearly state I want to denigrate you. You're inferring intent. How's that ok? fionwe1987 - 17/06/2020 06:06:28 PM 391 Views
Pain and Death they *actively* choose... Jeordam - 17/06/2020 06:39:13 PM 420 Views
They make no such choice. Which is why they're out there protesting fionwe1987 - 17/06/2020 07:00:25 PM 436 Views
Sigh Roland00 - 16/06/2020 08:15:12 PM 374 Views
Nah I just straight up think capitalism is evil. Reparations should be paid, though. *NM* Ghavrel - 16/06/2020 09:22:46 AM 189 Views

What is "the State" fionwe1987 - 16/06/2020 02:57:34 PM 376 Views
my comment was directed to Ghavrel. damookster - 16/06/2020 04:49:39 PM 375 Views
