In reality you've probably drunk away more IQ points than you've smoked away. In any case, I wouldn't brag about it if I were you, because killing your IQ by drinking and smoking, and then bragging about it, both seem kinda dumb.

Goodbye, kind world (George Monbiot) - In common with all those generations which have contemplated catastrophe, we appear to be incapable of understanding what confronts us.

America has been 'Hannitized,' and the ignorance he spreads is deadly https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/6/25/1955881/-Protests-against-racist-police-violence-did-not-spread-COVID-19-but-Sean-Hannity-did?link_id=2&can_id=c100ca601958a2f6ee6b97d7b0eb3df9&source=email-we-are-in-serious-trouble-18&email_referrer=email_862599&email_subject=we-are-in-serious-trouble But there is a political factor that’s increasing both the reach and the deadliness of the pandemic. Because studies are now showing how right-wing media, including Fox News, has deliberately spread confusion, conflicting information, and outright lies about the pandemic. These sources downplayed the risk, spread a false sense of security, and encouraged viewers to disregard their personal safety even as hospitals—and morgues—were filling. The most astounding result: Both infection rates and mortality can be mapped to places where Sean Hannity is most popular. Hannity has long been Donald Trump’s most reliable purveyor of unreliable information, and on the COVID-19 crisis Hannity has worked overtime. In the early days of the crisis, Hannity could be counted on to declare it was a hoax. When Trump was pushing hydroxychloroquine, Hannity was all over it as a miracle drug. When Trump started pushing to reopen, Hannity got out the crow bars to complain that the economy was more important than grandma. So it’s no surprise that Hannity viewers are the most confused about the nature of the pandemic—and more likely to die as a result.

Quote:Originally posted by second: Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: We'll be fine. Do Right, Be Right. :)Imperial College of London worst-case simulation came up with 2.2 million deaths by simply assuming that 81% of the population gets infected – 268 million people – and that 0.9% of them die. It did not assume health systems would have to be overwhelmed to result in so many deaths, though it did make that prediction. Neither the high infection rate nor the high fatality rate holds up under scrutiny. The worst-case Imperial College estimate of 2.2 million deaths if everyone does “nothing” did not simply mean no government lockdowns. It meant nobody avoids crowded elevators, or wears face masks, washes their hands more often, or buys gloves or hand sanitizer. Everyone does literally nothing to avoid danger. www.cato.org/blog/how-one-model-simulated-22-million-us-deaths-covid-19

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Trump really missed an opportunity there. 2.2 Million is a serious lowball compared to some of the laughable numbers the chicken little Mask Karens were terrorizing each other with on Titter. He didn't kill anybody, you stupid fuck. Do Right, Be Right. :)

I would love to continue a fact-based discussion with you about multiple topics. But FACTS don't matter to JACKAREN. Not even if they're linked to multiple orignal sources.

Quote:Originally posted by 6IXSTRINGJACK: Yup. I remember that press conference where Trump told everybody in the nation not to wash their hands. Fuck you, Second. If you didn't wash your hands before an overblown cold came out, you probably deserve what you get now. And a huge amount of those deaths were when Cuomo put sick younger people with the old folks. Democrat shithole ran by Democrats. Do Right, Be Right. :)

Quote:Originally posted by 1KIKI: Quote:And a huge amount of those deaths were when Cuomo put sick younger people with the old folks. Democrat shithole ran by Democrats. And yet Cuomo's ~23% of old people dying of COVID-19 is roughly half the national average of 42%, and one fourth of DeWine's 82%. Cuomo should have tried harder to get even more old folks killed so the democrat shithole of NY that he runs could equal DeWine's republican paradise of Ohio.

If he can convince voters that it is not his responsibility, then he gets votes from people like 6ix. If he starts giving orders, he loses their vote: Each morning at 8 as the coronavirus crisis was raging in April, Mark Meadows, the White House chief of staff, convened a small group of aides to steer the administration through what had become a public health, economic and political disaster.
