I'm sure there'll be a train of posts to follow that will tell all of us that liked dodgeball only liked it because we were bullies or somesuch. They also probably think we should stay locked down until cases are zero.
Oh man, that satisfying PING when one of those rubber balls connected with someone’s face...

Plus 1000 on dodgeball. But I picture POTUS as the fat red-headed kid that would absorb 14 hits to face and groin, even while walking off the court looking the other way. “Oops, sorry! It slipped”.

Still two weeks for the virus “to completely disappear the day after the election.”

Bleach, sunshine, weather and HCQ didn’t work, maybe long polling lines are the cure. Bill Gates is waiting to inject all those tracking chips.

Dr Atlas probably has some great ideas. Let’s listen-up.

Anyone think it’s absolute fear mongering that the media is now promoting a twindemic?

Of course it is. Look at Ronaldo's fear displayed a couple posts up. Wonder if he's looked at the readily available information on what population demographic is making up the majority of severe and fatal Covid cases, despite a relatively low number of total cases. Hint, it's not working age people.

I don’t know.. that last dot is starting to go a bit higher. Still not two weeks yet. Cases are starting to explode again and we were already leading the world in new cases. If they don’t get it under control next few weeks there’s going to be lockdowns again, it’s already started in Europe. People need to do the right thing and follow the guidelines. That keeps things open.

The CDC doesn’t fear monger. The new reports say there’s been under counts of actual COVID deaths.

We gauge perceived risk mostly on past experience and observation of others' behavior. Masks reduce perceived risk, which is great for stuffing people into airplanes.
How young are you? You seriously think people drive fast because of airbags, seatbelts and other safety crap? In the 70’s we still had roads without posted speed limits. It was only the energy crisis in the late 70’s that brought about the 55 speed limit to save gas. It was never about safety systems.
