No it isn't.Booray said:1.That is something different than what the OP is talking about.curtpenn said:For the record, I'm 65 and am not offended. My parents are now 89 and 90. My mom taught in public school and my veteran dad retired from Civil Service along with many years split between the Army Reserve and National Guard. They were able to retire modestly at 58 with gold-plated government employee health insurance. My dad was diagnosed with lymphoma 4.5 years ago and had been through all sorts of chemo and radiation which have kept the lymphoma at bay, but the dispassionate part of my brain knows the cost of the care he has received must be many hundreds of thousands of dollars. How is this sustainable?Bearitto said:Why? Because it analyzes facts dispassionately? Do you dispute those facts?BaylorTaxman said:
The original post is so disgusting, I can't believe someone even remotely associated with Baylor would post it. You are permanently on record.
I can see if it were full of lies, then sure, let's call it disgusting, but there is no lie within the entire post. It's simply a recounting of extant facts.
Tell me what is wrong, specifically with the post, if you will.
Thanks

Citing the lives of sports pundits in reference to usefulness doesn't help your case.Nguyen One Soon said:
Dave Campbell turned 95 yesterday. Anyone want to tell him, or his daughter, that he has outlived his usefulness?
I guess the first claimed fact that is a lie is that the "Wuhan flu" isn't even the flu. It's not HXNX anything. That would be like me saying HIV is the flu, which of course would be 100% false. The rest of the post seems like a teaser for your next post on eugenics.Bearitto said:Be specific please. Which facts in the OP do you believe to be lies? What about the analysis did you find disgusting?George Truett said:Sam Lowry said:
Makes it sound a lot like Obamacare.
The OP is disgusting.
Is it that it was dispassionate? Do you require that every post that has a human impact be accompanied by weeping, gnashing of teeth and despondency?
Is it that someone would dare view the massive economic impact this virus will have from an economic point of view?
I get the sense that you spend much of your day saying "Akshually" and thinking yourself very clever. Carry on then. Someone needs to think that. It might as well be you.Buddha Bear said:I guess the first claimed fact that is a lie is that the "Wuhan flu" isn't even the flu. It's not HXNX anything.

Disagreement with the OP is not aging well. Over the next weeks, you will continue to realize I was correct. I hope you all enjoy the crow. It may be one of the few things left to eat if we don't change course.
Im glad to read that God made COVID19...wondered where it came from....thought maybe some eels in a wok was the origin.
Be careful of what you wish for. The Spanish flu of 1918 was disproportionately fatal to younger people. The next pathogen may be the same. Covid-19 may predispose younger people for future complications from, say influenza, pneumonia, and bacterial infections, because of damage caused from Covid-19.

Using historical records from Canada and the U.S., we report a peak of mortality at the exact age of 28 during the pandemic [Spanish flu] and argue that this increased mortality resulted from an early life exposure to influenza during the previous Russian flu pandemic of 1889-90. We posit that in specific instances, development of immunological memory to an influenza virus strain in early life may lead to a dysregulated immune response to antigenically novel strains encountered in later life, thereby increasing the risk of death. Exposure during critical periods of development could also create holes in the T cell repertoire and impair fetal maturation in general, thereby increasing mortality from infectious diseases later in life.

My heavens this op continues to age well. The fear mongers continue to be shown for the emotional vampires they are.
