SectionC3

Agreed. I think about it in terms of lung capacity. But isn’t there data re: higher incidents of stroke in younger people, too? That’s sort of the problem with reopening. There is so much unknown, and it’s almost impossible to properly evaluate and balance all of the risks. I wish there were good answers to all of these competing and valid considerations . . .

Hoax. I didn’t call a 900 number. And you’re the one who opened the door to the tiny baby hands problem. You seem to have some anger issues. I’m sorry about that. I usually count to 10 when I get mad. I find that very helpful.

I agree with all of that. The problem is that Group 2 can and does facilitate spread to Group 1. There’s no right answer to any of this, and I absolutely understand the economic impact of waiting too long. My lingering concern remains not waiting enough, risking a reset of the pause, and further exacerbating an already calamitous economic situation.

Update on the conference call. Based on your admission this morning that you have tiny baby hands, and based on certain deficiencies associated therewith, there was a desire to place you on a newly-created “ ‘Short’ list.” There also was a desire to get you to change your screen name to something less fake or “hoaxy” and potentially more accurate, such as “Third and Short” or “Third and a Couple of Inches.” I fought against the changes, and was able to get them to compromise. Basically, if you change your avatar to something more accurate, they’ll let you keep your “hoaxy” screen name and will not place you on the “ ‘Short’ list.” This is the avatar that was suggested:

Hoax. You copied me insofar as you tried to make a list. That is why you’re on the hoax list. And the sheep list. Thank you w/r/t the last comment. We’ve come a long way together. I get that this sucks for a lot of people, and I get that it sucks more for a lot of people than it does for me. But if we jump the gun on reopening we risk wasting all of the sacrifices that have been made to date.

There is no better way to own the libs than by copying them. And imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. Thank you for your adulation. Now you know what "Third n'" is on the fake news list. Also, FYI. I have a phone conference this morning. It may affect you. I'll fight hard for you in there. Stay tuned.

Fake news. Only I get to make the lists. Since you can't come up with an idea of your own, I've now been forced to place you on the sheep list. Also, I will take your prior point as an admission that you have small fingers. If you had large fingers, you would understand the difficulty in effectively and accurately typing on an iPhone. Carry on. EDIT: Now that I've had some cofeve, maybe I will be able to control my large fingers and spell a little better.

Here's one of them. The feds failed to take control of the testing reagent supply chain in early April. Cuomo complained about it, through thoughts distilled in, among other places, this quote: “They bought the machine [and] they have the test, but they need the reagents to do a higher volume of tests. We need two things from the federal government. We need help on that supply chain, especially when it becomes international, and we need coordination and basic partnership.” You're probably right about the morbidity rate in terms of raw numbers. But there are other factors. How do the hospitalization rates compare? And what about the effect on the morbidity rate of COVID-19 if the "curve" spiked and overwhelmed the health care system? It's not a simple analysis any way you cut it.

Thank you for catching that typographical error. I will correct it immediately. The iPhone is a tricky beast for someone with larger fingers like me.

a lot of what you said here is intelligent. I might not agree with it, but it’s rational. except for the bolded statement. Blanket comments like that with vague accusations undermine the credibility of everything else you said. When I see stuff like that I’m tempted to dismiss all of the thoughtful comments you’ve made. Which governors do you speak of? And what progressive policies do you complain of? And what states have become more “la-la lands?”

Non-responsive. You attempted to answer a question with a question. (And then posed two more questions.) carry on.

It’s not as hard as I thought. I watched the video and just gave it a shot. I usually keep it pretty tight so it’s easier for me. For others might not work as well. If you get a clipper online try one with a wider blade. Much easier to make the cuts. The one I purchased is a little narrower than one I borrowed, and the borrowed item is a bit easier to handle.

How are these people stalling and moving goalposts? Not sure I see the contradiction here. Data told Cuomo he would be short ventilators. He agitated for and obtained more. Now he shares unneeded equipment. What’s the problem?

That’s right. Commies with copy paper. That’s why I have an OAN feed on at my house and place of business at all times, just in case one of those lefties tries to confuse me with truth or logic.

Oh captain my captain.

I picked up one of those little Remington trimmers online. It does the job. Watched a video of a guy giving himself a haircut so I could learn how to do it myself. It came out OK. Can’t put lipstick on this pig, anyways, so as long as I’m comfortable aesthetics can wait.

Put her on the fake news list. You have my blessing.

What “embarrassing, childish tripe” have I offered or devised? Perhaps you’re bothered by debate and the free exchange of ideas. I’m sorry to hear that. We could have had some good times together, you and me.

Fake news. There was nothing demented about my question.

Hoax. An opinion with which you do not agree is not drivel.

That’s not what Gary calls it. I’m curious to see if he busts out his racist term for the disease.

With what?

Lots of work to prove my point. Nobody here said the drug should be prescribed. Carry on.

Your truculence has caused me — forced me, actually — to establish a new list. More outbursts like that one and I’ll have no choice but to put you on it. Unless we’re talking about article I and the emoluments clause. Those have been disregarded for the past couple of years.
