Best Posts in Thread: Off-topic Thread

So commenting on a trollin' post by a moderator leads to the post being DELETED and then, when repeated (for reasons of free speech). being SWIFTLY moved to off topic! The original trollin' post is in no way on-topic but remains!

 

yes my friend, it probably is, however the "off topic thread" i think is designed for fools like us to get rid of excess energy so we don't pollute the more serious threads here (usually anyway) i for one diagnosed my self as "attention deficit disorder" about 60 years too late to do any good. it was unknown in the fifties. back then it was just your aunties saying you had ants in your pants!

for as for wig wearing apes it gets a little more murky. as you can see from my avatar (or is that really me) i am just a fun loving old fart (partly quoting our leader) NMRN however might be a true nut job. we are still working on that.

please remember that you are in the philippines. i do not think any of us have high blood pressure anymore. the culture here discourages confrontation and conflict and criticism (the three C's) also know as the three cornerstones of hypertension. (the fourth is wives and/or ex wives (usually))

anyway, God bless you and hope you don't feel offended. its the last thing any of us want. well, most of us anyway

 

Ah, you mean like Mr. Nomad might be "no mad" so he never gets angry?

The number of obese /unhealthy people is alarmingly high. And of course, there's the large protest groups and riots all over the country huddled together, etc.

 

WRONG !

The crude mortality rate has nothing to do with the number of people who are asymptomatic. It is only the number of people who died verses the entire population. Finding more asymptomatic people will not change the statistic.

@Rye83 you are being hypocritical.

You base your argument on a statistic (0.28% crude mortality rate) that greatly benefited from the extreme social distancing. You then use this information to make an argument against extreme social distancing.

In other words the crude mortality rate is a measure of the number of people who died verses the total population. (Not just the population who became sick.) The crude mortality rate is very small because of extreme social distancing resulting in a small percentage of the population getting infected. It would have been much larger if the pandemic was allowed to run its course and infect everybody.
