  1. It is a sad commentary on humans that there is never a lack of predators willing to traffic on human fear and misery. Alex Jones (he of Infowars) and disgraced evangelist Jimmy Bakker have both been advertising "cures" for the COVID19 illness and have been warned to stop immediately or face criminal prosecution.
  2. CDC has stated that the mortality rate for the virus has been estimated to be 3-3.5%,
  3. At one point years ago, I was on the infection control committee in a small rural hospital and that was the stat we were given.
  4. This is called "jumping before you are pushed". McMahon has saved face.
  5. And the rule of thumb is that each influenza variant infectee will transmit the disease to 7 others on average, so the numbers add up very quickly.
  6. The biggest problems about this pandemic is that Donald Trump gutted the CDC and federal public health departments and now is engaged in a massive disinformation campaign abetted by the GOP and Fox news. No public official can say anything without Mike Pence vetting it and he has been caught lying already in spite of his claim to be a "righteous Christian". Moreover, China is a dictatorship and has been working furiously to minimize public perceptions and reports. Last week a Chinese businessman living in Hong Kong said that he had reliable information that bodies were being burned en masse on the outskirts of Wuhan but there is no way to independently verify this.
  7. Ack! Who touched that???? Unclean! Unclean!
  8. Swann's vulnerability to concussions may be a concern.
  9. Too harsh- send him to watch ALL the XFL games.
  10. In all honesty, I have never watched any part of any XFL game-past or present, nor do I intend to.
  11. And then there are the majority who do not give a rat's butt about the latest XFL ego-trip debacle.
  12. Sooo....a Bridge too far?
  13. I prefer diagonal.
  14. Please, God give us something of note to argue about or we will be soon be reduced to arguing about whether it ought to be sock-sock , shoe-shoe or sock-shoe, sock-shoe..
  15. Also:Rogue: noun, see "Nissan automobiles"
  16. There will never be a real war between the sexes- too much fraternizing with the enemy.
  17. Axes in a trench?
  18. Disagree to an extent- Americans define success as wealth, and for that mindset, the end justifies the means,
  19. The American judicial system is a reflection of their society, and if you think about that, it is pretty damned scary. Jailing peopl e has become big business and Democrat presidential candidate Tom Styer has gotten wealthy from it.
  20. As regards"plethora", I think I posted this before but..... During a funeral service, the widow asked if anyone wanted to step forward and say anything. The deceased's best friend stood up and said, "May I say a word?" and the widow nodded. The friend strode to the front, said. "Plethora" and sat down. The widow, eyes brimming with tears, responded, "Thank you. That means a lot."
  21. So....it has come to this....quoting Yosamite Sam.
  22. "Adamant" is when you are cussing at an insect.
  23. As weird as it sounds, that seems about right, and that is not a compliment.
