Coronainsanity

For the humorless: I don't actually wish all religious Americans will get COVID and die.
 
How can you be sure?

We would know. It would be communicated. Our parish is very scrupulous, and has complied with whatever the Governor has mandated, and more.

But, I will rephrase: Since February, no cases of COVID have been reported to us as a result of attending Mass at our parish. And they would be.

Can I vouch for what people do outside of church? No, but, based on the prior statement, it seems that they are as careful when not attending Mass.

I don't think most people that get it ever know about it. You get it, you spread it, you never know that you were part of the problem.

Or maybe you get it, you don?t know it, you don?t spread it, and you were never part of the problem.

Everybody?s guessing now, and everybody?s guess is as good as anyone else?s.

We?re back at Granny?s Cold Cure.

Yeah, I ain't gonna let that specter of a response do anything but evaporate. I'm not a part of any "problem" because I didn't create it!

Could be you never had it. Sure. But everybody's guess is as not remotely good as anyone else's. A lot of people don't seem to understand probability at all. They think any two options means a 50/50 chance and a 70% chance of something happening is a certainty. One low-probability outcome of sharing air with random people right now is that someone gets hurt that wouldn't have if you'd stayed home and you never know about. It's a small chance, but the total number of deaths in this country is driven by our actions and this disease is contagious enough and we're ignoring the risk enough that this has killed more people than it had to and will continue to kill more people than it has to. And that causes some to overreact which hurts the economy.


I think ethical responsibility depends on a person's understanding of the outcomes of their actions. I think that's something we all kind of intuitively know, part of the little voice in our heads. But for some reason, I think that drives some people to not want to understand the repercussions of some of their actions - and that seems to be something that not everybody has in common. I'm not claiming that this is something I know about other people; this is only how it feels to me.


We're not doing enough, not doing as well as some other places, people are needlessly dying, there's pressure to lock down more stuff than we'd have to - not everybody's guess is that good.

It was already here months before officially confirmed

I’d bet half the population already has t cell immunity.

This isn’t news.

This was figured out months ago when they did the antibody studies.

Also virtually everybody has T cell immunity to pathogens in varying degrees.

They made a couple of movies about this kid who I guess was born with no T cell immunity or something like that.

It’s a pretty rare condition.

Anyway the kid died when he was 12 years old.

Read the latest LA "health advisory" ... no one can no nowhere, but there are more than 20 exceptions. Like buying alcohol.

Unless you're an LA county official - then you can go dine outdoors just a few short hours after you vote to ban outdoor dining and explaining how dangerous it is - for everyone but her, presumably.

I noticed NBC.com coverage of the story didn't include this Kuehl quote from right before she cast her vote...

The servers are not protected from us, and they’re not protected from their other tables that they’re serving at that particular time, plus all the hours in which they’re working.

I heard an explanation for this. If you cut off alcohol, you get a wave of alcoholics going to the emergency room which impacts everybody else if you're trying to keep hospital resources free.
