couldn't that be said of nearly everyone on this thread? meaning almost none of us are listening to a differing opinion? we all believe what we want to be true to some extent. you and I aren't (or yaledawg) are any different in that regard
Plus it improves your looks when you wear a mask
To answer your question... I don't know if what I said to Yaledawg can be extrapolated to everyone in this thread.
I think we want to keep an open mind... in fact it behooves us to do so, because so much of C-19 is evolving. That said, I will continue to review information based on my poly-sci training. In other words, I will question all information sources for bias, based on the simple fact that this pandemic has been weaponized politically.
I've always tried to view things from all sides. It's the debater in me. Honestly I do this to a fault. Because if I don't take my wife's side immediately from that girlfriend that didn't say greet her in the store the correct way.... woh Nelly.
I'm also a master debater.
Remember that time where two people from complete opposite sides of the aisle changed each others' minds on the internet?... Me either
This doesn't make sense to me. What is the "fruit" you are after here? If you're trying to convince folks that your perspective is correct, don't get swept up in trying to convince EVERY person of that. If you're trying to mentally joust, it looks like this is pretty fruitful. I tend to be an argumentative person. I learned a few years ago that arguing for the sake of arguing is fine, as long as my counterpart agrees (many people like arguing like this, it's great!). Based on what I have read so far, I think you guys are each exactly what the other is looking for in this discussion.
You don't need a mask if you talk out of........never mind 🤣🤣🤣
Many counties in Florida are already preparing for hospital capacity issues as non essential surgeries have been postponed again already. ICUs being converted to covid specific rooms already and there is a curfew in Miami Beach again. Some restaurants are already closing voluntarily, and beaches and hotel pools are closing for the July 4th weekend all across south and central Florida.
When someone says something along the order of "So your best defense is democrats everywhere are corrupt?", then it becomes fruitless to continue on. Particularly, on a sports message board, where at best I'm in drive-by mode.
I, like you enjoy a good debate. In fact I pay a yearly fee to have the privilege of debating CEO's, Politicians, Political Analysts, former CIA Agents, Doctors etc., etc. I save the good stuff for that site.
I've seen reports to the contrary!
This only applies to the Swine flu!
Clay and Duval county Hospitals are fine. My SIL is having rotator cuff surgery tomorrow. About as elective as you can get seeing as she is a CPA. A friend who is a respiratory therapist here has been put on-call(meaning too slow to come in wait by the phone) twice in the past 2 weeks.
Deaths appear to steadily be going down. Hopefully that correlates to less hospitalizations as well. The 28th was the lowest number of deaths in over 2 months.
A certain hospital in neighboring St. John’s county has at least 24 + cases and is converting their ICU specifically, As well As cutting off non essential surgeries. Specifically lots of young patients being as young as 18 years old as well.
St. Johns county has been hit hard last few weeks. 5 of my family members have caught it one resulting in a 3 day hospital stay. Low 40s age . I know of at least 8 others that have caught it in the same 2 weeks as well.
