Nope. Not until the Election.

The left will keep it closed and GEOTUS will gain more support.

2 of the most sleezy night clubs in my town just reopened as a “Cafe” offering coffee and microwaved burritos in order to get in, then it’s a bar. I’ve been telling my friends who own bars to do this for months instead of whining about how people need to “wear a mask so our gov can move us into phase 3.” Meanwhile all restaurants are basically bars after 7pm and raking in the revenue while these guys go under. I’d be damned if I’d allow myself to be put out of business by some nasty bar food joint where nobody orders the wings only drinks and I remained closed. They’re pussies, if business owners would join together and just reopen, then sue if fined, we’d be in much better shape. I know a guy who spent 6 months trying to get a liquor license for his bottle shop, spent thousands, renewed it earlier this year and after the 2 week lockdown was extended to 6 months just gave it all up so he could at least open as a bottle shop.

Hey... when you make your title, can you either a) be more specific so we can drill into the conclusion or b) take a screenshot of the graph that shows this distinction?

Do. The. Work.

Share with Pedes.

What was wrong with his conclusion?

You're more likely to die from having a bath than from Chinese virus.

Check the graph if you don't believe it.

Do. The. Work. He shared his findings and gave you the source.

Perhaps you could mention which chart has a "died in the bathtub" option.

Ohhhhhhhhhhh,

ok I understand what you're saying now.

I interpreted it as hyperbole that he concluded that: you're more likely to die in the bathtub based on the deaths of chinese virus which he shows in the link.

I would like to know the actual number. Last week was almost exactly 400 Covid Deaths (Incidentally, 448 Americans are born every HOUR, for comparison.) So how about Bathtub Deaths? I've been searching, and it's a curiously difficult statistic to find, slipping in the bathtub. It seems around 350 Bathtub Drownings every year, but nobody's willing to share catastrophic injury numbers so I can add it to that.

The link lands you on the basic page for CDC. That's not shareable material.

Everyone has this link. Big deal. I have posted it before as the underlying source, BUT including the screenshots with the conclusion makes it possible for Pedes to spread that information.

You do get that this site isn't just about a circle jerk, right?

This is about high-energy for GETOUS, the highest quality shitposts, posting high quality memes. That plain, sharable material is why these posts need work.

I hope you see the distinction I'm making.

Just made a distinction above.

Also, the link is directly to the weekly updates.

Hopefully that clears it up.

Find local leaders who will step up and run for office after you recall your current local leaders. These new leaders need to tell us what their plan is and allow the people vote.

Per the CDC about 30,000 Americans die each year from falls (No luck on finding how many die from falls in the shower)....about 575 a week

https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/65/wr/mm6537a2.htm

Best I could find for the weekly total of Covid deaths for last week...466

Of course not, people get free license to riot over a problem affecting the black population at the same rate of lightning strike fatalities, so why would we expect rational action around Covid? Prepare to be locked down until at least November 6th.

Lol no, you cannot reopen. Did you really think the people you trusted with enough power to shut you down, will forego their newly acquired power? They NEVER will give power back, authoritarians never do. WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE, the Marxists already have more power than they ever needed in order to carry out the mission of fundamentally transforming this country.

It is, was and will be solely about the election. COVID is real, but the Dems weaponized it.
