Re: COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak

And kill how many people? At some point the economic damage might kill more. Plus I honestly do not know if containment is possible anymore. You might be spending years still fighting these huge waves which also kill people. Controlled route towards immunity might actually be less spiky, as you wou...

Re: COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak

An article I read recently essentially pointed out that the "flattening the curve" approach seems to work only because the axes aren't labeled - it might take two years of social distancing in NL and ten in the US. A better approach, then, is to do what's needed to stop the curve entirely.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

Two consecutive days of no posts and it's safe to say that the Democratic primary thread has entered a recession. Thoughts on how this will impact Goodspeed's reelection chances?

Re: COVID-19 / Coronavirus Outbreak

Ear is saying that any system that allows a candidate with more votes to lose an election is by definition not a democracy and so Trump is not evidence of democracy being bad.

His take is a little more nuanced than that but that's the gist of it

Re: Investing and Personal Finance

Cool thanks. Is a larger percentage of Delta's business in domestic flights compared to other major airlines? I'd expect international travel bans to stay in place a lot longer than domestic ones.

Re: The dire situation in CHINA > CORONA outbreak.

Huge lines at Safeway (name of a grocery store) today with everyone panic buying stuff, unlike I, an intellectual, who panic bought all my provisions yesterday. This week was interesting as it kinda showed exponential growth unfolding in real time.

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

You could probably construct reasonable-sounding narratives for both why Pence would do better and do worse than Trump. Personally I think that Trump's rhetoric is able to draw people to him in a way that Pence won't be able to match. Drain the swamp etc. doesn't make a lot of sense with Trump, but ...

Re: 2020 Democratic Primary

If Bernie ran third party I would almost assuredly vote Biden lol Why? I edited my original post, read it now. That makes even less sense, why If Sanders ran third party I'd vote Biden because the best case scenario from that point is a narrow Biden loss and a not-disastrous second term of Trump an...

Nothing will change if you don't vote every time there is an election. :lol: Nothing will change with either Biden or Trump. It's all about having power now. Biden should be drastically better than Trump in terms of how the Supreme Court will look going forward as well as in taking steps (even insu...

What does "tread carefully" mean? I guess learn the English language and you tell me. Ear is asking you to identify things or classes of things that Biden could or could not do/say that would cause you to vote for Trump and why those things might make you do so. You're being a just a litt...
