You believe in God?? Lol. Which one? All you post is crap toeing the line for the Satanic communist Establishment, threatening people with "tick tock tick tock" posts --- presumably meaning that the communist Satanic powers-that-be you worship are going "get us" anti-vaxxers, and fire us from our jobs, and I guess enforce this "mark of the Beast" system on us.Mountainman97 said:You're time's coming with this, along with his.

Went to a restaurant in Cary today (Cary still has a mask mandate). No employees had a mask on and no patrons. No sign on the door, so I happily walked in without a mask, ordered, and had a nice lunch with my wife. Some people believe tables are magic, so you can not get sick at a table.packgrad said:Oldsouljer said:I'm sorry to hear that and I guess I didn't know.

That's been shouted down quite often on this thread, until just recently. There was even support for masking at restaurants from the door to your table, but not when you sat down. If you said it was ridiculous, you were a conspiracy theorist and anti science.

"Many experts acknowledge that the rise and fall of waves is a bit of a mystery, as epidemiologist Sam Scarpino explained to me on my podcast."
It is not a mystery. We have a highly infectious virus in circulation and as such, it is subject to seasonal effects, based on the behavior of the population that is at risk of infection. Add to this the fact the virus is continuing to mutate in ways that continues to make it infectious and you can get some understanding as to why we have waves of infection.
As I have posted before, we will have another Covid wave this Summer. The size of the wave will be determined by the variant in circulation at the time. If it is still Omicron, I expect it to be lower than the Winter wave we are coming out of now. If it is a new variant that is more infectious than Omicron, I expect it to be similar to this Winter wave. Having a mask mandate will have NO effect on if we have a wave or not.
Here's a direct link to the article if others want to read it:
Mask Mandates Didn't Make Much of a Difference Anyway
Agree, however there is a large segment of the population that deny it exists and believe things like social distancing, quarantines, and mask mandates are effective in keeping us safe from infection. Take for example, the writer of the opinion article in Bloomberg. He acts like it is a mystery. There really is NO mystery.Wayland said:Daviewolf83 said:I read the Bloomberg article this morning and agree with many of the points. The only one I take serious issue is this statement:Bas2020 said:

We have discussed seasonality.. and things like Hope-Simpson for a long time here.
He had a posting style that could just immediately "trigger" even some of the "more reserved" liberals (ie. "pretendependants") on the board... and that younger, more socially progressive crowd was drawn to him in the way that a moth could be drawn to the flame.packgrad said:Oldsouljer said:Depends.

Personal attacks. I can't remember him ever having a bender like that Asheville kid did last night though. You can tell by the "moderation" of his posts which side the "mods" don't allow personal attacks on. They edited his attacks on civ and left up the attacks on Storm and me. Will be interesting to see if he's still around after that meltdown last night. I do have his address though if anyone wants to send a get well card.
I didn't even know who he was on PP. I do know he was banned for life there by another mod on PP. I had zero to do with his banning here. I tried to get him to take things down a notch and have expressed that to numerous other posters here. One of the board owners banned him and not at my request. I have even asked to let him come back. And no you didn't.

I always thought he was hilarious (he definitely knew what he was doing though and I agreed with the vast majority of what he said politically).
In simpler terms, Glass never liked him being here from the start (apparently they had previous history from another board) and BBW wouldn't respond to his moderation (and yes Glass, your moderation - admittedly or not - always gets biased when it comes to anything political) in enough of a manner that he probably could / should have... and then BBW and Runs started and continued a never-ending pissing match about anything and everything (which I never really completely understood to be honest).
And eventually Glass got his way (oh, even though it "wasn't him" ).
Did I explain that correctly?
