You don't have to be British not to understand.

It's the dumbest fucking thing evar.

Important to remember that the numbers have names. The names have loved ones. Here are the names:

Of course, The NYT fails to identify how many of those 100,000 were at or past the normal median age of death in the U.S. which is 78 years of age - meaning that, statistically, they would likely have died this year, anyway - nor does it account for the failure of most states to differentiate “died with COVID” from “died of COVID”. But, hey, whatever advances The Narrative.

Baaa! Baaa!

That's not how it works. A person who is 78 has a life expectancy on average of about 10 more years.

Of course, The NYT fails to identify how many in addition to those 100,000 were unable to be tested prior to death in the U.S. or the many who died of covid at home. It also fails to identify the individuals whose quality and length of life have been reduced by the virus causing organ damage. But, hey, whatever advances The Narrative.

A) THEIR AGES ARE LISTED!
B) "Statistically" I am 200.9 pounds. In reality I am not.
C) Frankly, the words "with"/"from"/"of" do make a difference but as I have had to try to explain the concept to others - they didn't die before they had Covid-19 so chances are pretty good it was at least a contributing factor to their death.

Seems maybe their "narrative" in terms of your post was to make you come off as foolish?
I'll let others decide if they succeeded with their narrative.

I’m sorry you can’t tolerate viewpoints that differ from your own.

I'd say that many of the KU alums who post here tolerate viewpoints that differ from their own quite well. But tolerating someone who just seems angry that we attended the University of Kansas and lashes out at KU alums constantly because of that and who obsessively follows KU alums from forum to forum that KU alums create in order to disparage us and our university, that's somewhat different.

You know, I rarely read, much less respond, to any of your posts, but this one requires an answer.

I challenge you to go back through any of my posts on any version of these boreds and find any time where I disparaged the University of Kansas or lashed out at anyone because they attended KU. I don't care where you went to school. Period. If you're wrong, if you're being an ass, if you're misinformed, I will respond accordingly, but it has never had anything to do with where anyone went to school.

If you're under the impression that matriculating from Mount Oread makes you all-knowing, infallible, or above reproach somehow, that's your delusion, not my problem.

A deadly 'checkerboard': Covid-19's new surge across rural America


Source: Washington Post

The novel coronavirus arrived in an Indiana farm town mid-planting season and took root faster than the fields of seed corn, infecting hundreds and killing dozens. It tore though a pork processing plant and spread outward in a desolate stretch of the Oklahoma Panhandle. And in Colorado’s sparsely populated eastern plains, the virus erupted in a nursing home and a pair of factories, burning through the crowded quarters of immigrant workers and a vulnerable elderly population.

As the death toll nears 100,000, the disease caused by the virus has made a fundamental shift in who it touches and where it reaches in America, according to a Washington Post analysis of case data and interviews with public health professionals in several states. The pandemic that first struck in major metropolises is now increasingly finding its front line in the country’s rural areas; counties with acres of farmland, cramped meatpacking plants, out-of-the-way prisons and few hospital beds.

In these areas, where 60 million Americans live, populations are poorer, older and more prone to health problems such as diabetes and obesity than those of urban areas. They include immigrants and the undocumented — the “essential” workers who have kept the country’s sprawling food industry running, but who rarely have the luxury of taking time off for illness.

100 years from now, the way we presently treat the elderly, the imprisoned, and those who help make food available to us, will be among the greatest sources of the nation's moral embarrassment at our era.

<sigh> a sadly prescient post, imo.

I bear my share of the shame.

Unfortunately just about every 20-year chunk of our nation’s history is spent being embarrassed for how we treated blank 100 years ago. Sooner or later everyone will have their turn
