But this moving goalpost thing that's going on is ridiculous.

The experts were "wrong" because the shutdowns did what they were supposed to, they greatly reduced the rate of infection. I'm not saying let's stay shutdown, that would be bad. I'm also not saying, pack yourself into a bar. They are equally bad ideas imo

I pop back in to see what's new at awac and I got some d-canoo quoting stats from a post I made weeks ago. Which I'll be honest I forgot all about till you posted it. So yeah man you really got me.
