I don't understand; you say that as if it were a bad thing.

Imagine everyone had your selfish “me me me and screw everyone else” attitude. There’d be no charity, no social welfare, nothing at all except a bunch of people out for themselves. You are a sorry excuse for a human being, I actually feel quite sorry for you.

Right, because shutting everything down for a few geezers with 1 leg in the grave isn't at all selfish.

You might want take a good look at who is actually dying. We old geezers are only a part of it and not even the majority.

Absurd. Little travel there in the last few years but there all the time before that. Family summer home in Montauk and mother and brother still living there well into the 20xx. And late in that period I took my wife on a tour of NY by subway and walking. Had no problem getting around and found it little different from 10,20,30,40 or 50 years prior. Did the Staten Island Ferry, Wall street the village, midtown, Times Square and Sixth Avenue.

You can't do it because people are out and about everywhere. I didn't say they were at work. I said they're out and about.

Please do "go on".
All of your examples are 2-3 weeks old. In pandemic time, that is ancient. What have you got that is recent?

Just because you don't want to believe that and I'm not going to hop on google scholar or pubmed for you, doesn't change that fact.

Let's also recap: There have now been studies on the coronavirus. From that, actual scientists have made hypotheses following the scientific method. Later, longitudinal studies will happen, just like for past diseases/viruses.

But yeah, because professor equid0x disagrees with this, it means they are not real, it's not science, and not the scientific method.

Oh, and feel free to hit up pubmed or google scholar and type in "longitudinal study on viruses." Sorry, can't do anymore work for you, but just read thru two studies and several more abstracts, all in REAL scientific journals. And hey, it's REAL science!

Hypotheses are not facts.

Using big words you don't understand doesn't make you look smart.

I've underestimated just how poor the school in Nevada are. Some of you are as dumb as bricks.

I'm not going to do your research for you. You made the assertion that reputable studies get done without control groups. Show me.

Where did they get their degree again and in what exactly?

Show me the scientific community that says that results are accept without control groups. I'm still waiting.

So your complaint appears to be the lock down works so we don't need a lock down. That make any sense to you?

Your complaint appears to be that numbers don't show we need a lockdown, therefore it works. Evidence, please?
