I believe the experts on this, and if you do also, we should stop the panic

Thanks, I was hoping to finally hear your opinion, you've barely posted RE this.

You and Biff should just hash this out over BM.

I think you need to take a break from CB.

As per the usual, you are wrong.

Ikuna

Your last paragraph is a bit over the top

oohYeah

3/28/20 8:24am

Yeah, you have a problem with Joseph Smith?

ochobeeguy

Joseph Smith? What the?.....what does that mean? SMH...

BleedCougarBlue2

He said he agreed with the last paragraph which is a quote from Joseph Smith.

ochobeeguy

3/28/20 2:04pm

The Joseph Smith quote is in Busiturtle's "signature" that appears at the bottom

oohYeah

3/28/20 3:14pm

Yeah, the last paragraph signature thing.

You must not believe people will suffer miserably and even die with the collapse

delinquentcoug

By the thousands, if not tens of thousands ... no I do not.

Ikuna

Suicide rate will increase. You ok with an increase in child and spousal abuse?

delinquentcoug

3/28/20 8:42am

There’s a lot of downsides to minimizing this.

Ikuna

3/28/20 8:52am

Huge down side to over reaction.

delinquentcoug

3/28/20 8:54am

The way you chose to frame the argument is incredibly short sighted.

You are in a tiny minority, fyi

Are you also bullish on ending human transportation?

mbs6

3/28/20 10:27am

Let’s skip stupid hypotheticals. What exactly are you suggesting?

Ikuna

3/28/20 10:30am

What's stupid or hypothetical about transportation deaths?

mbs6

3/28/20 10:41am

The stupid hypothetical is ending human transportation.

Ikuna

3/28/20 12:03pm

So, you believe there's a limit on acceptable death rate per a given activity.

mbs6

3/28/20 3:49pm

Pandemics aren’t hypothetical. We’ve seen them before. Many times.

Ikuna

Google the cobra effect.

delinquentcoug

I’ll do it for you.

delinquentcoug

3/28/20 11:25am

But you're ok with "thousands" of kids being beaten by abusive parents. Got it.

BleedCougarBlue2

3/28/20 1:01pm

What if the alternative is 10s of thousands of deaths from other illnesses?

Sounds like another great reason to NOT overrun our health care system.

You do understand in a recession or depression many can’t afford to

delinquentcoug

3/28/20 11:29am

A study attributed 10,000 suicides directly to the last recession.

EtTuKalante

3/28/20 11:34am

What's your plan to stop the other thousands and thousands

mbs6

3/28/20 10:13am

When possible, NOT directly be a part of what causes them.

Ikuna

The problem is that young people suffer and a few die from this

Sure no question. What isn’t true is that if life goes back to normal we would just lose a few old people.

It will take a long time and certain things may never be as they were.

Considerably more blood has been spilt

Thank you. We are in the midst of the greatest hysteria since Salem Witch Trials

Busiturtle

You are clueless! You think the economy is in bad shape now it’ll be way worse

U2wearblue

3/28/20 12:06pm

Tell us, what percent of infected healthy people require ANY medical care?

So your point is I’m healthy wash my hands & screw everyone else with asthma or

U2wearblue

You are defining a tyrannical standard
