You race bikes? Bridging to a lead is pretty common language in bike racing or is that a common terminology in another sport/racing culture that i don't know?
Joe Scarborough has actually lost his mind.. I remember watching his show years ago when he was a sensible center-right guy who had some weird opinions on certain issues but was all-around not too far off the general conservative platform. I have no clue how him and his wife have just gone so far to the left recently. I was watching clips from his show a few days ago and he isn't even objecting to Trump's positions or disagreeing, he's just got full blown TDS.
Let them have what they want, they deserve it. In fact, "They deserve to get it good and hard."
Conflicts with the narrative that the main driver of increased wildfires is climate change. One could argue that it is in fact climate change creating the brush that is burning but brush doesn't self ignite if some retard doesn't flick a cigarette, or 5, onto it and walk away.
I get the sentiment and the desire to take the easy way out but I really don't want to leave the nice areas of California just to get away from libtards. I'd rather fight them tooth and nail and keep the my hometown and the rest of Cali once the insanity passes, because honestly the crazy ideology of the far left is not capable of sustained acceptance by mainstream people. California is not as impenetrably blue as people think it is and running away is not the way to win a war especially a war for one of the largest, most economically powerful states in the union with some of the greatest natural beauty and wonderful communities. Conservatives often forget that SF is not the entirety of California and there are other places like SLO, SB, Irvine, New Port etc that are beautiful and respectable cities. Conservatives needs to say fuck it and push back to weaken the liberal strongholds in California if we hope to keep it integrated and a functional part of the union where everyone can enjoy the exorbitant wealth of its economy. Fleeing to conservative states is like abolitionists giving up on the south and just saying welp while leaving slaves to rot in the south.
Give em the o'l Wood. Lin Wood ofc nobody should stick their dick into anything crazy enough to work for Facebook.
“A man’s rights rest in three boxes. The ballot-box, the jury-box, and the cartridge-box.”
Kyle's representative government failed him at the ballot-box so he was forced to the cartridge-box to defend both life and limb of his fellow citizens from human trash/career criminals masquerading as protestors/rioters. Hopefully he's not failed by a jury of his peers with these ludicrous charges being hung on his neck. Dare I say miscarriage of justice in this case should be cause for mass protest on our side of the aisle. If we let Kyle's God given rights to self defense and self preservation be stripped away by the justice system in a political sham trial then there should be vigorous protest and demands for action i.e. a pardon by the Governor of Wisconsin.
It depresses me that Jacob Blake didn't actually die but good men like this pull the short straw. It is harder to rape people in a wheelchair and abduct children but now we have to pay for his continued care and rehab/medical costs once he's charged and incarcerated again (for the attempted kidnapping, assault, rape, auto theft etc.). I'd much rather my taxes go to pay for this officer's medical care, pension, and recovery so he can go home to his family but sadly criminals don't show restraint like cops do time and time again. I hope those children never want for anything and this officer gets the same gofundme support that all these criminal pieces of shit like Blake/Fentanyl Floyd are but he probably won't.
Based, "it" is in fact the size of the broad side of a barn.
Horribly saddened, another name added to the list of those murdered by the CCP and their face-saving bullshit regime. I wish Americans would get pissed off and vocally demand action and retaliation for the dead grandmas, grandpas and patriots of all ages that were murdered by this pandemic. Fuck china and fuck the CCP. Americans will riot and sympathize over a dead drugie that got ruffed up by a bad cop but not over our 150k countrymen murdered by Chinese incompetence supplemented by unmatched incompetence.
Swedes are not all fat and immunocompromised as a result of nutritional deficit. Swedes also followed standard protocol for reducing the spread of respiratory illnesses. I have 1 of maybe 200 patients per week that are in normal BMI range and I practice in a relatively wealthy suburb. This country needs to wake up from the libertine bullshit haze of fast food and cigarettes by the carton. China will no longer fear the "guns behind every blade of grass" if we're too fat to shoulder a rifle and die from heart attacks and diabetes by 60. Our country needs to get serious about health regardless of covid. US results and response is very similar in fact to Sweden despite the late mask measures and social distancing etc. But, the Swedes are suffering 9 more deaths per 100k (27 vs 36) than we are. Again, perhaps it wasn't worth shutting down the US, but we wouldn't need to shut down if we were at a sub 20% obesity rate instead of 50%+. If we were healthier then we could have likely done what Sweden did but not had the slight increase of deaths that Sweden suffered.
Similar mortality/spread rate because its also a relatively germane respiratory infection. It is a different virus with risks of organ damage and possibility of acute organ failure is not the same as the flu. The flu has little to no risk of organ failure outside of very extreme cases and in those cases its caused by runaway immune response and hormonal stress. CV19 has a very high rate of organ damage especially the heart (i.e. myocarditis) and encephalopathy/encephalitis as a direct result of the infections incitement of runaway immune response in a large number of cases. I understand that the mortality rate doesn't alarm you, and it shouldn't, but this isn't just a flu and you don't want it regardless of how healthy you are to begin with.
This is T_D not a medical forum, I've given up on trying to explain this stuff to other pedes. I love this board to death and I'll never abandon POTUS' movement but holy shit we have some issues with blind skepticism of medical science. I went to school for almost a decade and work in med research and I really was hoping the science denial would remain firmly on the left with the constructivist view of gender/climate doomsday religion. Not sure why anti-vax etc. have emerged so much on our side of the political spectrum.
Based. That was a smooth ass throw.
Yeah I am not defending Fauci and the panel's approach but its still not a great idea to just let COVID have a field day, its not a normal respiratory illness. The death rate is not high and has never been high enough to justify the amount of hysteria but there is a large variety of permanent damage from infection ranging from brain damage to decline in cardiovascular health. The young and healthy aren't at risk of death but we need to be smart and promote public health measures even if you don't want to use government coercion, there must be some efforts to encourage the American people to do what is in their interest and protect their personal health. Statistically speaking, even these cases of lasting damage are not excessive but I would rather we all wear masks willingly for a month or so and keep gatherings to a minimum for a little longer. Our leadership, whether it be Fauci, Birx or the others on the panel, failed in the beginning of the pandemic with the guidelines which were too harsh and accomplished nothing.
Because Fauci is an over-estimated boomer tard with a 40 year tenure at the NIH. I understand he established himself very well during the early AIDS scares but if this pandemic response is the result of his leadership then why the hell is he in charge of 6 billion NIH dollars yearly etc. Masks are one of the few things, like prophylactic Hydroxychloroquine, that have solid scientific evidence to back the effectiveness of. They made some bullshit up about PPE shortages, despite the fact this was never really the case (they're handing out 2-3 boxes of PPE per month to each of us at the hospital I have privileges at). There however was never even a slight risk of surgical mask shortage (these things cost a few cent each and every hospital buys millions of them at a time to cut costs) and surgical masks are effective enough to reduce aerosol/fluid transfer.
That's the primary issue at stake tho, these retards will go out while sick and continually cough and hack in public spaces. That's why the original social distancing bs didn't work. People were staying home then going to a super market and coughing/breathing heavily on each other while sick before returning to their homes to spread it to their families. Too many Americans need a heavy handed push from others to not be stupid as fuck, especially in liberal cities where people won't do jack shit unless some official-sounding cunt tells them to. I agree that it shouldn't be instituted by fiat from above by power hungry local politicians but there's no reason to oppose the concept of voluntary mask wearing. If Trump pushed it as a civil service and responsibility issue then most patriotic Americans would wear a mask when its necessary but I guess the cats already out of the bag, pandemic is winding down and the masks would have helped at the beginning and enabled us to not shut down everything and stay relatively open like Japan/Hong Kong.
Masks do work though unlike a chain link fence for mosquitos. Keeps aerosolized particles from leaving your respiratory tract at high velocity which in turn reduces ease of transmission. Once the aerosol leaves your body it becomes finer as it spreads out into the air and as a result masks don't protect you from the particles on the receiving end. Masks work if people decide to use them for the sake of others, thats why the messaging from Fauci and the rest of the covid panel was so nonsensical.
I don't understand for the life of me why we're so anti-mask, can somebody enlighten me as to why? I get that there has been some stupidity from Fauci and the rest of the task force initially but as a medical professional I don't understand why we're rejecting the only actual effective method of curtailing the virus but we were mostly chill with Fauci's retard approach during the first month. This is like the libs rejecting Hydroxychloroquine to spite Trump even though Hydroxychloroquine is a very effective prophylaxis and treatment in the early to mid stages of infection.
