What will the fourth bailout be for?

temp checks. Hilarious. Only 30% of people hospitalized with Covid in NY had fevers when admitted. Yet another stupid measure, good only to show we are “doing something” to placate the ignorant. Your solution is what, better theatre to go with the panic porn?

really get people worked up, since the alternative, being realistic about a virus that predominantly effects the infirm and elderly (and for the young is arguably Less dangerous than the flu?)

Still crying I see. Also, why you gotta lie? You even put arguably, which means that you know what you're saying is total BS.

My family had Covid and none of us had fevers. Neither did most people I know who had it. Some, including myself “felt feverish”, but temp was in the normal range.

I’m still waiting on how you managed to post something 6 months ago.

according to the CDC website so far there have been 295 COVID deaths under 18

in 2018 there were 643 deaths from the flu under 18

So if his definition of younger is under 18 he is right. Above 18 the CDC uses different age brackets for COVID and the flu.

I asked which industries were hit as hard as airlines while simultaneously being vital to the economy. Are you telling me "all of them" is your answer? Please follow up. You won't though because you only post 1 or 2 sentence replies to everything with no substance whatsoever. I will commend you on your red Forman role play however. Snarky anecdotal remarks from the cheap seats like a heckler at a baseball game. Congrats.

I'll tee it up for you so you can squeeze out 3 or maybe 4 sentences: Airlines are essential to the recovery of the economy as well as sustaining said economy after it recovers. As sad as it is some guy who owns a comic book store in Bozeman is not. Restaurants have been hit just as hard as airlines. How do you bail out "restaurants"? How long would it take the govt to put together a program like that? Every restaurant in the country would apply for a portion of the money? A large percentage of restaurants are very poorly run and may have faltered eventually even if COVID never happened. The govt will have no way to vet whether or not a restaurant is going to responsibly use their money. How much would be wasted? 60% of "startup" restaurants fail within a year and 80% within 5 years. The same can be said for many other industries. The task is just too big and the upside vs money spent is too low. Airlines are easy and politically visible. Bailing out the guy in Bozeman is not.

thanks - 400000, I guess I used “arguably” because there are still some brain dead, panic stricken, moronic zealots that are unable to accept even the most obvious universally accepted facts as true. So I wanted to be sure I recognized you.

so no, not lying.

Apples to oranges. You're comparing the totals from a normal, uncontrolled flu season with a heavily controlled COVID outbreak.

Show me case fatality rates in those age groups. Not totals.

Skywatch is still wrong. And still crying.
