Gloves will never forgive you if you kill him again.

I want revenge. I am in again.

You look like the angry videogame nerd.

You guys are funny. You act like only Republicans are rich and that no more stimulus only negatively effects Democrats. Here's a thought, why don't people save better? Why don't people manage their money better? Why is it up to the government to come swooping on again and again and again to bail people out? Not to mention all the people who didn't go back to work because they were making more from unemployment than they did when they worked. Why work when I can get a nice handout from uncle Sam? Sure another stimulus would help, but man, people really need to get their act together financially. Maybe don't buy a new iPhone every year. Maybe don't eat out 3 times a day. Maybe pay your bills on time and pay down your loans. Thank you for the information about her being a farce.

F*ck twin galaxies. POS organization. Billy Mitchell is one of the gaming GOATS. Who TF cares if he didn't play on an original PCB.

Why is she a farce? I thought they did pass several stimulus packages. They can't give money away for free forever. Plus Pelossi was the one holding up the deal.

I would like to play. I am a Karkadann

By that logic, if you vote for Jorgensen, you're also voting for Biden. I agree, the Libertarians could get their messages across better. One day there will be a competitive 3rd party, or perhaps a replacement for the Republican party.

The percentage is misleading. The odds are so small that a 360% increase almost means nothing. It'd be like playing the lottery. If your odds of winning are 1 in a million, buying 3 more tickets really doesn't change your odds in a meaningful way. Now if this was going from a .1% chance to .5 or even .01% to .05, that'd be alarming.

If people really hate Trump and Biden so much, why don't they vote for Jo Jorgensen? If you take one of those quizzes, you'll probably be surprised how much you match up with her. jo20.com

FYI, in the U.S, cops kill more white people every year by shooting them than any other race. https://www.statista.com/statistics/585152/people-shot-to-death-by-us-police-by-race/ Your chance of being shot to death by a cop if you're white is .00000148%. Your chance of being shot to death by a cop if you're black is .00000534%. https://www.statista.com/statistics/183489/population-of-the-us-by-ethnicity-since-2000/

This guy gets it. Yes, wtf happened in CHAZ or CHOP? Why does that get a pass?

It is so difficult to take you seriously. They probably don't have the perpetrators named "Left wing extremists". They probably have whatever name the group called themselves or are a part of. No one is saying right ring terrorism doesn't exist or is a much bigger problem than left wing terrorism. We're trying to point out that left wing terrorism exists and is a problem, albeit, a lesser problem than right wing terrorism. You should read this piece too and do some more of your own research. https://www.csis.org/analysis/escalating-terrorism-problem-united-states

I almost took this post seriously before remembering you enjoy trolling people. How are you still denying left wing terrorism exists? What more do you need? Unless you really are just trolling again. If you actually look at the data, they have tons of data points for each terrorist attack. They're also not deciding what is left wing terrorism and what is right wing terrorism. When they refer to perpetrator groups they say stuff like "White Supremacists" "Pro LGBT Rights Extremists" "Male Supremacists" "Anti-government Extremists" and so on. You as the reader can tie the groups to whatever side they're on. As for threatened use of violence, what if someone says "I'm going to shoot you." and then something happens where they can't or don't fulfill their crime. Just because a terrorist attack wasn't successful doesn't mean they won't have it in their database. I bet you a large chunk of these incidents are terrorist attacks that weren't carried out fully or were doing property damage, with no casualties. That would also be an attack with threatened use of violence. "I'm going to kill and burn all of you." People inside run to safety, building burns, and there are no casualties. https://www.start.umd.edu/gtd/search/Results.aspx?page=4&casualties_type=b&casualties_max=&dtp2=all&country=217&expanded=yes&charttype=line&chart=overtime&ob=GTDID&od=desc#results-table

I'll just leave this right here for anyone who thinks there aren't left wing terrorists. Between 2010 and 2016, 53 percent of terrorist attacks in the United States were carried out by religious extremists — 35 percent by right-wing extremists and 12 percent by left-wing or environmentalist extremists, according to a University of Maryland-led consortium that studies terrorism. https://www.nytimes.com/article/what-antifa-trump.html

Do we know what Trump's real current status is?

While we're at it since you still don't get it, here are the positivity rates (total cases divided by total tests) for the top 10 countries with the most cases, as well as the 2 you have brought up, and then some other countries. U.S 6.92% India 8.5% Brazil 26.89% Russia 2.55% Colombia 22.19% Peru 20.93% Spain 6.04% Argentina 38.47% Mexico 38.14% South Africa 16.10% Vietnam .1% South Korea 1.02% Nigeria 11.54% Egypt 76.44% Indonesia 8.63% Mozambique 6.3% Japan 3.98% Kenya 7.03% Australia .35% Thailand .47% This is why positivity rate is such a sh!tty data point to base success or failure off of for the virus. If this is all we looked at, the U.S doesn't look so bad, but in reality, the U.S has the most deaths by 68k. The U.S would be the 8th worst of the top 10 countries if this data point was what we cared about.

Okay you got me. You are just trolling me. Well done. Trump is partly to blame yes, but everyone has the power to research stuff on there own, to wear a mask, and to not go out and gather in large crowds. That's not at all what I'm arguing. I know you're trolling me, but what I'm saying is the positivity rate is going down because more tests are being done. I never said anything about there being more confirmed cases because there are more tests being done (that probably only applied during the first month or so of this when they could only do a certain amount of tests in a day.) I do my own research. I don't follow Trump. I'm not a moron. I know COVID-19 is real and a serious problem. You need to stop putting words in people's mouths and assuming things about them. Trolling or not, it's not a good look for you.

Seriously, are you even reading my posts? Are you just trolling me? What is going on? I literally just said "For now, yes, the U.S has done a sh!t job with the virus. " 200k deaths is a lot, and it'll be 250k+ by the end of the year. The country has not done a good job. Trump is partly to blame and has not done a good job either.

I don't think you read or understand my post then. At the beginning of this, positivity rates were high because only those with symptoms got tested. Now people who simply have been in contact with anyone who had it get tested even if they don't have any symptoms. You see lower positivity rates now because there are more people getting tested who are less likely to test positive. That's why it's a bad stat to go off of to view how good or bad a country is dealing with COVID-19.

I am so lost now. Why did you bring your family and manager into this? They got tested and were negative. What is your point? The U.S does not have 25% of the actual death count of the worlds deaths. China has been lying out the ass this whole time. You're telling me they magically solved their COVID-19 problem in February? They must have hundreds of thousands, possibly millions of deaths by now from COVID-19. The U.S' death count percentage compared to the world will also decline as India and Brazil catch up. The U.S was one of the first big countries to seriously experience the outbreak after China. Several countries are months behind but are now catching up. The U.S total death count is bad and could end up being the official worst. Only time will tell. You remind me of people at the beginning of this who said the flu is worse than COVID-19 because it kills more people. Yes at the time that was true because the outbreak was a month old. You have to wait until the event has run it's course. Then we can compare stuff. For now, yes, the U.S has done a sh!t job with the virus.

So how about that train wreck last night?

Positivity rates are one of the worst ways to measure how bad the virus is in an area. What if only people with symptoms are getting tested? Of course your positivity rate will be higher. What if everyone who wants to get tested gets tested? Of course your positivity rate will be lower. All that matters is total case count and total death count. Total death count is more important because you can't "hide" that as much. You can "hide" the official number of cases either because of asymptomatic carriers or because people just aren't or can't get tested. If you like rates so much, you want a country who's doing horrible with the virus? Check out Mexico. 10.45% death rate for confirmed cases. In comparison, the U.S is at 2.84% death rate for confirmed cases. South Korea is at 1.73% death rate. Vietnam is at 3.19%. The point is, you can twist data about COVID-19 however you want to in order to fit whatever narrative you want to present. Based on my death rates, Vietnam has actually done a worse job with helping those infected with the virus than the U.S. Obviously this is a silly data point to argue over since the total deaths in the U.S is higher, but their death rate is higher. To me, total deaths is super important. Confirmed cases is also important because it shows how far the virus has spread, but ultimately deaths are what suck and truly matter.

Vietnam and south korea do have low total case counts and death counts. Check out the past two months though. Starting in August, their cases skyrocket (for them). The same thing happened with lots of europe. France is a great example. No one has this totally under control. Some have it under control better than others. If China wouldn't have been shady af about it when they first found out, the rest of the world would've been able to better prepare and enact proper countermeasures to reduce risk. China didn't say sh!t about it for a solid month. They've been shady about their numbers since February too. Yes the U.S should've shut everything down early on. A big problem is all the misinformation about the virus and people not wearing masks and people congregating in large groups. Everyone can do their part despite what Trump says. Here's where test kits come into play. Let's say I'm country A and I can afford 200 million test kits and my population is 100 million. The amount of positive tests will be higher because there are more people who can be tested. Let's say I'm country B and I can only afford 10k kits and my population is also 200 million. That means only 10k people can officially test positive. Both countries have the same amount of test kits but one will have way more official cases. It's why India still hasn't surpassed the U.S in total cases. 4x the population of the U.S but 1.2 million fewer cases. They simply have fewer test kits. They now have kits which is why you see 80k+ cases every day.

It's hard. Part of the reason why it's easier for poorer countries to contain the virus and eliminate it is because no one (or at least very few people) are traveling there. Travel is a huge part of the continued spread of the virus. There's also the problem of test kits and what the real numbers are for this virus. Poorer countries don't have the same resources, so that's also part of why they could be seeing fewer official cases and deaths. The U.S and other first world countries should follow proven successes in other countries, however, there is the sad reality of things such as keeping the world economy afloat. Imagine if the U.S really did shut absolutely everything down for a month. The world would go into complete chaos. Should it be shut down, absolutely. Will it, no. "Just get the disease" wow. A better mentality should be "Just wear a f*cking mask and be responsible." Wait it out until a vaccine is ready, then get said vaccine and continue to be careful since you can be reinfected with different strands. You have to remember, it's not just about you getting the virus, it's about you getting it and potentially spreading it to a vulnerable population.
