I really wish the Bee would go back to doing satire again.
Did I miss something? I know I'm not always up to speed on these things but last I heard Kim was in a coma or dead... is that not the case?
Just came here to say: "FUCK CHRIS WALLACE"
This is my own creation. Pretty simple math plugged into a spreadsheet.
I pulled the data from here: https://covidtracking.com/
In the morning I'll put together a more robust version of this chart with the sources listed below, and then post it here for you to use.
Literally, 5 times more likely she'll hit and killed by lightning.

I can't help but see it as an act of malfeasance on the part of the news for using this as fear-porn to drive ratings and as a bludgeon against Trump.
Really frustrating to watch them switch from reporting deaths to reporting cases. And then not mentioning that "cases" are counted even without confirmation, just assumption. Add that to how they fail to make clear that there is a difference between deaths "from" COVID and deaths "with" COVID. And yet, they are all counted as deaths. How have they've been able to get away with this?
It blew my mind to see that the chance of a child dying from this is roughly 1 in 1,000,000. Basically, grab a deck with 1,000,000 cards and then pick one at random, do this only once. That is how unlikely it is that this is going to kill them. Hell, for kids under 18 the flu has a 1 in 337,745 chance of killing them which is still around 2 times less likely than them being killed by lightning.
Literally, ours kids are 5 times more likely to be hit and killed by lightning than to die from this virus.
I don't think it would be state sponsored. They just wouldn't bother to do anything about their brownshirts going around murdering us. Easier to have plausible deniability.
Wrong. You can never have 'plenty' of guns. The correct answer is, buy more guns.
Just throwing this out there:
My favorite kind of people to invite to poker night. Confident assholes with no sense of their own tales.
Funny how he picks mid-April to July, but leaves out January to mid-April. You know, when the stock went from $188 (pre COVID) down to $100 in mid-April, then back to $182 in July.
So, he's upset that the company lost $80 in value and then gained it back? What a liar.
I'll be patient until Nov. 4th.
After that it's open season on commies.
Already have started. But getting bolder now.
Sanctions by Congress and perhaps an impeachment would be more appropriate.
This kind of uneducated legal-ish word vomit will only serve to get the author investigated for threats against an elected official.
I'm with you. I agree with the author that her actions are a clear violation of ethics and possibly crimes, but this isn't how we do thing in the US.
I'm just so sick of the brainwashing and the damage this is doing to my children.
I'm not anti-mask, just anti-mandate. I've spent many years working in OR's and ICU's and I know there are appropriate times to wear one. But unless it is N95 it won't protect you as a preventative measure. If you are high risk you should really just avoid contact with anyone showing signs of illness or limit going into public places when possible.
The only time that wearing a mask makes any real sense is when you are actively sick and showing symptoms. For example, I had a cold a few weeks ago and so I wore a mask to prevent spreading the illness. That is okay with me. But forcing this mandate on us is a serious erosion of our liberties and causing irreversible psychological harm to our nation.
Good lord. These people need serious attention.
I'm tossed on this one. Walmart has the money to pay and if they get hit with enough fines they might use some of that money and their army of lawyers to sway the politicians that they control.
Already have a personal blacklist.
I went to but my children some ice cream the other day at a chain restaurant. The snide (probably antifa) chick at the counter told us to GTFO even after I told her that I had a medical exemption. So I gladly took my kids down to a local shop down the block and the owner served us up some delicious dairy.
I left her a $20 tip for a $10 purchase. She was probably in her 60's and I was heartbroken to hear how she can barely keep the lights on, her PPP money just ran out, she hasn't taken a paycheck for herself this year, she has told her employees to prepare for the worst, and burned up her entire retirement account just to pay wages. She made her last rent payment on the building but won't be able to pay next month.
What these evil politicians are doing to our country (with our consent) right now has kindled a deep rage in me and I am no longer going to be a gray man.
I understand the sentiment.
But I do want to ask this question:
How is this different than the stores that used to have signs at their entrance that said "whites only"? Would you use your same logic in that case?
I say make em pay and then they might get on the backs of their politician buddies to end this bs.
this is exactly my point. I too live in a mandatory mask state. But none of this is going away unless we start pushing back.
That's the entire point of being willing to face fines. The fight is worth it and it might actually help a few of us work out our non-compliance muscles. Conservatives are generally law-abiding and breaking the rules can be difficult for many of us, myself included.
But I've got news for you, this fight is coming to our door whether we want it or not. We might as well practice with the small things now before we have to face the bigger challenges.
Which gives us a Case Fatality Rate (CFR) of 0.13% and an Infection Fatality Rate (IFR) of roughly 0.014%. We should also point out that for several years the CDC and the WHO estimated around 2.9 million deaths in the United States in 2020. We are just past 2 million as of today, and with 3 months left to go we may end up below even our pre-COVID estimates.
