Default One simple move that anyone can make...

...to DRAMATICALLY improve your APC signal-to-noise ratio.



It really has been so much more pleasant.

Glad to see y’all are taking that “if you’re scared, then hide” advice that people always say to heart.

Nobody can prove where or how you got the virus, just like they can’t prove masks 100% work, but they can go off science to try to reduce the risk for all. Ironically you don’t realize that the reason why the numbers aren’t worse is because states had restrictions and lockdowns. Remember that the original narrative on here was this was a hoax up until last summer.
I never said everybody was wrong; I contend there was a vast variety opinions much of it noise, a lot of fear and lot of truth. It wasn’t obvious what was important AND truth. Scrubbing walls was silly, masks on crowded indoor situations was smart; closing the borders earlier should have done, but that was racist. AU and NZ did well for a lot reasons, impenetrable borders was a big part of it. Wearing masks to show solidarity is political nonsense and a loyalty test for the Left.

I never denied COVID, but much of what we did was fear-based and ineffective. Prior to COVID, societal shutdowns were never recommended or tried. We should have followed the earlier, we’ll thought out guidance instead we fell to fear.

Yes, 550,00 died naturally due to a novel virus. I consider that one of evolutionary process, you consider it an outrage. There are worse outrages.

Has anyone actually watched the video and read the text I linked to in the original post of this thread?

Did you find it useful? Interesting?

I wonder what would have happened had we taken your route if even after these “crazy” restrictions we still had all these people dead and countless more almost getting there. A million dead? At what point is it not ok?
I am not hoaxing anything up at all - I am putting your hysterical rantings into context. It could be over today if we would stop acting like panicked moron's. None of the hospitals are currently or were ever overwhelmed, or have been any more overwhelmed, than some of the worst flu seasons. I am not denying any reality. The truth is, if you bothered to read any of the links, that more and more it looks like the case fatality rate for COVID-19 is not much worse than the flu. I am not making that up, that is coming from the World Health Organization.

FWIW, almost 3 million people (six times that) died in the US in 2019. So I guess if you are asking, then nope, I have no problem with a million dead in the US in a year - that is a about one third of a normal year, so if that is all I have to worry about, not poverty or mental health, then it seems like a good year.

Not ‘scared’ in the least. Just tired of uninformed hysterical babble, so I’ve blocked three whole screen names out of thousands.And at that I suspect two belong to the same person.

But feel free to waste YOUR time all you’d like. It’s a free world.

I've read the article about baloney detection before, and I'm sure I would have watched your videos if I came to APC for rational inquiry and debate, but I've given up on that stuff in this community. APC is just a way to keep my finger on the pulse of the US airline job market. Airline pilots are some characters as a group. I applaud what you're trying to do, but good luck.

It's like that line from Men In Black - "A person is smart. People are dumb, panicky dangerous animals and you know it."

Edit: yeah the article reads like a good refresher for that section in philosophy 101.

As far as I can see it’s just frustration on your part, there’s no real solution in what you’re saying. Saying oh well, its just another plague in human history is not good enough. We are not in the dark ages, people don’t have to keep dying because of a plague. We can do something about it and we did.

The lack of credible science has blinded us to the truth.

Ok think about that for a second and what actually has to happen for your wish to come true. Also how do you think the mental health of the nation would be if your wish did came true.
