I hope and I think that @YaleDawg and @CaliforniaDawg knew I was having fun and meant no disrespect to them.
My point being......as I've stated before.....is that I have nothing in common with either of them politically. Matter of fact....we probably disagree on most if not everything politically (although calidawg and I do slightly agree on a couple of things). But I have had a few great conversations with both of them through DM. We didn't pretend to agree and none of us compromised what we truly believe.
Yet.....while disagreeing..... we never insulted each other. And have had good conversations about other things.
There is no amount of anger or insults that either of us could have expressed that would have changed the other's opinion. But Calidawg ....in particular.... has made a couple of points that have made me think. And I believe I've made a couple that have made him think.
And I would venture to say that the three of us could find a number of things that we have in common.....we love the Dawgs, love our families and I bet there are plenty of other things.
Many people on here get completely bent out of shape because someone else disagrees with them.......big deal......and I've certainly been guilty of being offended and being offensive.
I'm sure I'll disagree with both of them again on different issues......but I won't insult or offend either of them and I don't expect they'll disrespect me either.
Dawgnation should be entertainment for all of us......arguing and fighting just doesn't seem very entertaining to me. I can go home where there are two teenagers if I want that.
I was not addressing you on my comments.....just a general comment. Hopefully it didn't come across as such.
For those of you curious as to why I keep getting a random DV on very benign comments...(obviously some of my comments deserve DVs)
It's no big deal.. it's @PhineasGage . He gives a DV on most everything I say.
I've upset him some time ago......but have no idea how.
I've sent him a DM to address and make amends.... but he didn't respond.
If it maķes him happy and causes a smile.....I'm good with it.
Let's revisit the first week of August as the severity of cases is increasing (based on the positive rate) as well as the number of cases.
I like my man Den... And I hope he loses this argument...
I think he does too. I think we all do.
No worries mate, put another shrimp on the barbie! ;-)
I have to tell you I wasn't expecting that type of post. You're always so serious and composed, so reading that bone dry sense of humor was refreshing. I bet there's a lot more of that sense of humor waiting to come out!
There are already reports from Houston that people are dying on the way to hospital or at home. The care has definitely improved but that only helps those that get admitted soon enough.
Don't believe reports from Houston.....they're known to cheat.
Sure, but I think we’ll have enough data by the 21st to see which way this is headed.
@Kasey Nate Silver is not very good at math Yes, more cases means lower death rate, but the fatality numbers are still lower than April when they had everyone locked away from the sunshine.
Heck, if we could somehow subtract New York then we’d still be comparing this to a really bad flu year. I guess the difference is they don’t send people with the flu to a nursing home.
Reports? As in Plural? As in how many? How many cases of this nature, not how many reports.
I have no doubt someone died while in route the hospital, but the way this is presented suggests that it is a somewhat regular occurrence. Also, if you die of covid while in route to the hospital , your death is not an indicator of severity, or anything else other than someone being too hardheaded to seek care earlier. Sounds like a victim of media hype who died because they were too scared to go to the hospital.
Contributing to the sensationalism by hyping one-off examples is dishonest, and ironic in that such behavior by the media is the likely reason the individual in question died. Hysteria. A preventable death?
I think I'm going to just UV posts that have DV's for no good reason.
@Denmen185 Thoughts on this NYTimes article? I think the writer betrayed his actual agenda when he supplied the reason for increased “covid hospitalizations” right there in plain sight.
“About a quarter of all patients admitted to the city’s main public hospital over the past two weeks tested positive for the coronavirus, including those who came in from car crashes, heart attacks and other problems.”
Hospitalized WITH covid, not because of covid.
Nate silver not good at math LMAO
