Anybody want a Corona?

[Bi_3]

I'm struggling to find accurate information about Corona killing healthy people. Does anyone have any stats here?

Gonna be a while, but:

dear god what went down a few pages back is the definition of flameout personal attack

locking the thread is the wrong response

it punishes us all for what one poster did

mods need to get control

So in NYC, 25 people died between ages 18-44 with no underlying health conditions , and 59 people died between age 45--64 with no underlying health conditions....plus those applicable ones from the unknown column

If N&D is held to a higher standard than the rest of the board and is supposed to be a place for serious, adult conversation about issues, should intentionally sharing misinformation just to "trigger" people be a bannable offense?

Seems like a worse thing than quoting B posts, which can get you banned now.

I get this but we should really be advocating for fewer bans, not more

Bans should be an extreme measure reserved for continued threats, targeted harassment, or doxxing

So what should be done about personal attacks like that?

So I went to that Bill Mitchell Twitters and omg, that dude and his followers are for real.

They think coronavirus is fake.

Wow. Just wow.

Literally nothing. Did anyone complain?

Welcome to the dark side.

I'm going to make one public warning: Please stop with the personal attacks. Have the discussion just keep it civil. Please.

Ok, Jesus

What an eye-opener.

I mean I know these people exist but it's just a phenomena to see it live and in action I guess

I dunno, was someone banned just now? It seems like nobody did anything except for Joe saying "hey, quit it," and the whole thing just dissipated

I'm guessing your family holidays are quite different than ours, then. It's like walking on the ceiling sometimes.

Ok, thanks knee and bi_3 . just trying to figure out whether my wife isolating her and the kids from me (because I'm still working and around people) is the right thing to do or not. Its driving me crazy.

True story, the only person I know that had it is a friend who tested negative, but swears it was a false negative.

It's probably overly cautious but it is killing healthy people and what counts as an underlying condition is pretty flexible.

Though it probably depends on what kind of work you're doing. If my wife was a nurse I'd probably stay in the basement.

It's unlikely to be a big problem for healthy people, but you should still be away from your family as much as possible, and handwashing should go to 11.

Did you say you're working? Stop that last week.

Chud did, didn't he?

Was he even attacked?
