3.1 million children die from malnutrition every year and some people want to shut down the economy.

Burning off dead wood can be painful, but you might want to listen to the people that annoy you on the off-chance you gain something, rather than trying to shut them down. People with truth on their side should be afraid of free speech imo. These mainstream news articles are being ratioed heavily. I'm not necessarily saying they are wrong, but If there's a bunch of smoke, don't you think you should investigate? Aren't you even slightly suspicious that maybe you are lacking critical information? What's your explanation for the overwhelming number of people speaking against the mainstream narrative?

Yeah I was just talking to my mom about this, she is a retired extended health nurse and told me most of these people have a 'do not resuscitate' order.

@blacker_than_u5676 my mom's a extended Healthcare nurse (retired) and made a really good point that most people in retirement homes have a 'do not resuscitate' order, meaning if they get sick they don't want treatments it's their time to go. Pretty sure if they had the choice they would rather see children not starve to death.

@heatherdequetteville9184 what did I say that was insane?

@heatherdequetteville9184 you don't know me. My mom, my stepmom, and my dad were all extended care nurses. My older sister is a teacher, and my second older sister is also an extended care nurse. I own a landscaping company and often do free work for old people that can't afford it. I have literally organized a work crew and redid a lady's entire yard for free, because she was sick and I thought less chaos would bring her some peace. Myself and my entire family has worked in service for the community. United Nations warns against a Biblical famine because of economic closures. 3.1 million children already die every year from malnutrition. If you're old, scared, or have comorbidities, self isolate and let the economy continue so millions of children don't die. 3.1 million children die from malnutrition every year in some people want to close down the economy and you are calling ME crazy? Adorable.

@heatherdequetteville9184 no. I don't want you to voluntarily die. You're not listening. I don't want the economy to die. I don't want the supply chain disruptions that will lead to more human suffering Do you believe we should take the course of action that causes the least amount of human suffering possible?
1
@heatherdequetteville9184 I would say policymakers will ultimately decide what policies will be implemented, but do you think: they should take the course of action that causes the least amount of human suffering possible? You seem incapable of answering this very straightforward question. do you think we should take the course of action that causes the least amount of human suffering possible?

Blob Flimby follow-up question: (99.7% sure you won't answer...) - what is the current fatality rate expressed as a percentage?
1
Blob Flimby no you didn't
1
Blob Flimby current fatality rate. You didn't answer the question as predicted.
1
Blob Flimby you think the current fatality rate is 3.1%. is this your position?
1
Blob Flimby that's creepy. Arguments aside I DID send you a link, but I guess Google doesn't want me sharing that one? You have to agree that percentage you are giving me is from the aggregate (total) You have to agree that in the beginning there were some serious mistakes made (putting sick people in old folks home for example) You have to admit the more relevant metric to use is the current fatality rate. Notice I have used the word 'current' the whole time. You have to admit that by using the aggregate, you are using a straw man argument. Go to the exact same Source you got your numbers from and tell me the current (NOT the aggregate) fatality rate in Canada. Do you think it's possible that by testing less, Canada is finding less positive cases, therefore inflating the percentage of fatalities? *How do you reconcile USA having a current fatality rate of 1.4%?*

Blob Flimby (Canada) deaths in November (82) ×100 ÷ new cases in November (6,495) = 1.26% The current fatality rate in Canada is 1.26% according to the same source you used "What's the CURRENT fatality rate expressed as a percentage"? "Let me walk you through some really simple math; there are 393,506 cases in canada. The number of people that have died of covid is 12,342. So in order to find what is a percentage, we need to divide the number of deaths by the number of cases. I know this is crazy but take a minute. if we then times that number by 100, we get the final percentage which is 3.13%. the fatality rate is 3.13. did I break that down enough for you"? Did you say that? Go to the same source you got these numbers from, look there at the bottom.., you see that? There is a number with a plus sign next to it, those are new cases, or new deaths. You are creating a straw man by using antiquated data.
1
Blob Flimby giving the aggregate percentage of 3.1 rather than the current rate of 1.26, when asked what the current rate is, is indeed a straw man. you are ideologically possessed, that's why you can't/won't answer that one single straightforward question: What is the current fatality rate in Canada? It's not a trick question. 98.74% you won't answer it tho. ; )

Blob Flimby the fatality rate of 1.26% in Canada for November is commensurate with the steady decline seen in in every other first world country. I would refer to the law of averages, or Occam's razor.
