Topic	Remember when people were thought covid cases would go down in summer?
Zeus 06/26/20 1:46:18 PM #23:	Is it actually spiking or are we just testing more? Although if it is spiking, it might have to do with the fact that some idiots in government allowed widescale protests where people were shoulder-to-shoulder, often without masks (although, again, I'm not sure either masks or social distancing actually make a difference any more because, if they did, the protests wouldn't have been allowed). ParanoidObsessive posted... To be fair, very few people said that, and they were always wrong anyway. The intelligent people said that the virulence of the virus might go down in warmer weather, the way normal flu does, but that we had no way to know until it happened. Most of that talk usually ended with "Well, we'll see what happens come June." But the entire scenario is incredibly complex, and it's not as if there's only one variable at play anyway, so even if the virulence of the virus DID go down in summer, other factors could still increase rate of transmission over time . This. ParanoidObsessive posted... Yes, because more disorder, disorganization, and factionalization is exactly what we need right now. That would totally fix all of our problems with no possible negative side-effects of any kind. ParanoidObsessive posted... There is a word for this sort of thinking. It's generally seen as being a somewhat negative word. tbh, Mead seems to look for any excuse to promote an authoritarian (well, really more the other word) revolution. --- (\/)(\/)\|-\| There are precious few at ease / With moral ambiguities / So we act as though they don't exist. <cite>Zeus posted [p:941293754] in Remember w...
