Elephant in the Covid room

[Superveloce]

I have found over the years that people who are most scared and uncertain of their path in life....are the ones most likely to latch on to theories that support that the world doesn't make sense because of other people.

Those same people usually lack empathy.

As an individual I choose to participate in....mostly anyway....with what society in general has decided that we need to do to keep our society whole. I work. I pay my taxes. I wear a mask. I isolate the best I can. I accept curtailing of minor parts of my civil liberties for the betterment of slowing the spread.

Every day I decide my fate.

Since it has all started I have been amazed at the inability of some people to see what the world is....I assume because they are scared of the world and feel that their life is not theirs to direct.

Sure you could go with that......except all great inventions, discoveries , medicine , explorations, businesses have been done by people who went against the grain of society and conventional thinking....and they were attacked and criticized for it by people who wanted them to just go along and fit in.
Not everyone can be Musk , Galileo ,Columbus , Salk or Jobs but they take comfort in fiitting in taking no risks or chances and have no unique opinions while criticizing others for being bolder and better and taking the world forward.
Ultimately that’s ok because the ant farm needs far more followers than leaders

You are a leader? A visionary person? By posting about covid on a motorcycle forum? Everyone else is a sheep.

LMFAO

I'm just going to make an anology....If an entire city has burned to the ground.......do the residents point at another city that is now on fire and say at least we're not them? Nope. Texas has had more deaths and cases per capita than Ontario.

Did I mention me, my posts or COVID ? Maybe you feel I’m that way and are projecting?
You confessed to being a conformist I never confessed to anything.

Wonder who will be the adventurous first to try mixing and matching shots.

Kinda like a pairing a Heidenau K60 rear tire with a TKC-80 front...

Actually it appears that there is no relationship between the first and second. Better analogy is like having a set of KCs on your bike now, then getting a set of TCKs in 3 mos.

In the uk they have found dissimilar follow up shots are widening immunity ranges for test subjects, may be a better overall strategy to get dissimilar shots.

Is that published (even in pre-print) yet? I know they were looking at it.

I can find the Texas death Rate of 271 per 100,000 I can’t find the Ontario one. Do you have a link?

I don’t like those comparisons. Texas has population density, socioeconomic, and health index scales that make a comparison using macro numbers pointless. I don’t know how one could compare the two places.

And the illegal migrants crossing the border daily who are probably massive carriers due to lack of hygiene

I listen to the bbc daily Covid podcast ( hey Siri - bbc daily Covid podcast). They talk about it every few days.

Hi Donald.

It's not on any of the common virus trackers, but it can be calculated from knowing total deaths (7698 as of right now) from https://www.ontario.ca/page/how-ontario-is-responding-covid-19#section-0 and knowing the population (14 million). 550 deaths per million citizens. (Or 55 per 100,000 if you prefer.)

Texas is at 1717 deaths per million citizens (or 172 per 100,000) according to this: United States COVID: 32,371,760 Cases and 580,756 Deaths - Worldometer

I can find the Texas death Rate of 271 per 100,000 I can’t find the Ontario one. Do you have a link?

As of April 16, 7698 deaths in Ontario (2nd link).

52 deaths per 100,000 as of April 17 (first link)

Some people take comfort in pontificating about things they obviously have no knowledge of and make hidden insults towards others and then pretend to be innocent when questioned for their lack of knowledge and use words like projecting.

In your very post where you say "What who me?" you then admit that the post is about bakaboy in your very next sentence. At least when I call out idiocy I want everyone to know who I am talking about.

Hi Donald.

Seriously? you think walking hundreds or thousands of miles through the desert is conducive to regular bathing and hand washing? It’s not a comment on them it’s a comment on the way they are travelling. You can’t see that?

No I said he confessed , I didnt mention him. And what’s the right answer to that...Yes I am a leader and visionary leader? Yeah that would have gone over really well with you keyboard warriors.

Agreed.....I am not the one who ironically liked your post about comparing the two places.....when he is the one who started the comparison. The guy is a walking backwards gotcha.

no he said who he was, he confessed to being a conformist .. I never agreed that he was or stated what I was....and how would that play out ? I say yes I’m a leader and a visionary? yeah that would have gone over really well with you keyboard warriors .

I bow to your keyboard prowess. Your ability to make invalid points is astounding.
