We should focus on protecting the vulnerable and just mitigate the risk elsewhere, instead of these mass shutdowns and insane restrictions on industries.

Typical ignorant false comparison. 50,000 people die in car accidents, so I dont let my parents drive. 5000 annual choking deaths, so I don't let my kids eat. Not married because somewhere between 24% and 72% of spouses cheat, so I got a divorce. 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone was referring to some statistics that the average weekly deaths are lower as compared to 2019. A reason is the possibility of lower deaths by auto, etc. due to less driving. Also, of interest the lower number of cancer and other disease deaths because of Covid. Also, there's another link posted by NOCL that compares data to an expected amount. That is like comparing not to the previous year, but to a pre-determined or budgeted amount. And you know how right budgets are. To confuse the issue, I googled and found this article: https://www.americanthinker.com/articles/2020/10/covid_problems_cdcs_method_of_estimating_expected_deaths_and_excess_deaths_is_misleading.html Please don't flame me out. yes that will get you articles on both side of the issue read them all and then decide which side is more credible.

The problem is that the stupid carry it to other people. There was a wedding of 66 people in Maine, there ended up being almost 200 cases as a direct result, including many at a nursing home and at the jail. None of those who died had been at the wedding. The pastor who officiated at the wedding said afterwards "faith over fear". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, it's the grand debate that the whole nation is having right now. What is the proper role of government? How much do we depend on the government to solve our problems? Clearly we are not going to solve these problems on Cruise Critic. Personally I am tired of the political hyperbole and I just want to drink a Corona on a cruise ship and find the closest cabin to the buffet. Can somebody help me with that? 😀 3 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
