The Black&Gold Official Covid-19 Discussion (please)

TheOak · 04-07-2020, 03:31 PM

I find my sef coming here lately to get a break from Covid-19 discussions only to click a thread and find that it has turned into a Covid-19 discussion.

Maybe we could keep all the Covid-19 discussions here in one thread so that people have an escape? Its healthy for people to have an escape.

I'll even seed a few discussion points from what i know.

1. Stop looking at WHO, China, or any UN statistics for that matter.. They are all lies. The WHO Ignored Taiwan officials concerns over human to human transmission of Covid-19 in Wuhan in December over fears of damaging WHO’s relationship with China.
https://www.thenation.com/article/wo...navirus-china/

2. Why was Italy hit so hard? Because of trade, specifically between Northern Italy and Wuhan China.... and a Northern Italy lock-down that caused infected people to travel south spreading it across the entire country.
https://www.breitbart.com/europe/202...C07kFFrVONabVo

3. Stop comparing Spanish Flu to Covid-19.. CNN did a piece on masks and why things changed between 1918 and now. Read the entire piece it all sounds logical... Now what is missing? Maybe the part that the Spanish Flu of 1918 was ****ing airborn and Covid-9 isnt should be a one line answer to the question in the title. CNN= Lazy hack jobs.

I am not asking anyone not to talk about what is going on, just asking that we allow everyone to talk about only football when they want.

burningmetal · 04-07-2020, 03:50 PM

Unfortunately, what else is there to talk about? I agree that an escape from the madness is needed, but there just isn't anything going on, and venting about the idiocy of this whole situation is pretty much what happens.

Unless we all start talking about our personal lives. Today, I ate pizza. It was good. I think I'll have it again in the future. I like pizza and football. A football has a weird shape... It's made of pig skin. Some people eat fried pig skin. I wonder if it tastes like a football?

I don't know why the Kardashian's are famous.

A cousin of mine once told me that milk is cold... And wet. It's not that I disagreed with her, but I'm not sure what her point was... And I still don't know why the Kardashian's are famous.

Well, man, I tried.

It doesnt sound like you bothered to read what I wrote at all. No where did I request that anyone stop talking about it. I just requested a consolidation of discussion to allow other topics to be Covid-19 free.

Topic distancing....

You know, Oak, I've come across a lot of BS in various discussions in these forums. And it usually comes from people being intellectually dishonest, because they have a clear agenda to protect, and not because they are incapable of understanding things if they really wanted to.

But with you, it's like you're in your own world, where words somehow have a separate meaning, and it's ALWAYS the fault of someone else for not understanding YOU.

I read very clearly what you said, and at NO POINT did I say that you asked for all covid discussion to stop. I'm saying, there is NOTHING ELSE GOING ON. I don't know how else I can say that, in a way that you won't construe, for the billionth time, that I somehow failed to understand your point. I read your post, I got your point, and I raised you another... Covid keeps coming up, because that's all that's dominating our lives, with all of the actions that are being taken that affect each and every one of us.

There are no games being played. Free agency is over. The draft is a couple of weeks away. We'd all like an escape from what is going on, but we're right in the middle of it, and there just isn't any way around it.

I tried to add a little humor in my post as a gesture toward changing the subject. But I can see that your ego is too strong to notice anything else. So I'll be sure not to waste my time responding to the next thread you start.

Correct.

But, I can tell you that some people in the world live in some sort of alternate reality so it will not matter what you say, even if it is on video with 1000 witnesses.

Sincerest apologies, I read your reply as a misinterpretation of my post. I watched over 1/2 a dozen co-workers get cut and took a pay cut the day before, head probably wasn't the clearest.

Just so you might understand my replies better in the future, that wasn't arrogance, it was sarcasm.

I'm not sure what kind of apology ends in you saying you were being sarcastic, but I'm assuming not a genuine one. I also do not ask for any apology, though I'll accept it, nonetheless. All I ask, is stop implying I don't understand you.

I had no "problem" with your original post. I merely wanted to point out that it should not be surprising that coronavirus conversations are all you see in every thread, when this is all that's going on. Some people believe the hype and are scared, and some of us are angry that this country is being duped. But whatever side people fall on, it's brought everything around us to a halt, and this forum is where some of us go just to vent.

So while I appreciate and agree with your desire to have an escape from the topic, it's just not practical, at least in my mind, that people are going to come to this thread only, for this topic. Everywhere you turn, something else we enjoy is affected by all of this. That is the long version of the point I was trying to make, without poo pooing your idea, altogether. Because I got what you were trying to do.

TheOak · 04-08-2020, 05:22 AM

To everyone in a panic and those that argue projection models... Just dont.

The basis for all of it is garbage and both the government and their agencies will make you look foolish.

Stop trusting what they tell you. Its crap and DHS should take a ton of politicians in to custody for inciting terror.

This. I dont believe a word of anything we are being told about the numbers. There are simply too many variables for them to be accurate. I don’t trust them that they would tell us the truth even if they did have accurate numbers.

a lot of truth to that statement. Mostly however is this;
1. we don't know true numbers (foreign or domestic)
2. everyone is scrambling to "get it right" and therefore wrong
