Damn, that's savage, but true.

Although, it sort of perpetuates this myth that if only everybody did the right stuff, nobody would die of COVID. There's no reason to believe that is true, and lots of evidence that it is not. The precautions were ALWAYS expected to "flatten the curve", not prevent all cases. Maybe this guy wouldn't have died, maybe he would have, you just can't really say with any certainty. That said, I am perfectly willing to cut grieving families a lot of slack about how they express their grief.

Agreed and agreed. Masks aren't even close to 100% (the virus is smaller than the spaces in the material, which is why you see CDC guys in hazmat suits, not surgical masks) and there's all kinds of ways it can legitimately spread from people and to people following the guidelines. But I'm sure it would be aggravating to lose someone to it and see all these people who don't follow the guidelines simply because they don't want to.Originally posted by Mister Ed View Post

The thing though, is that while not everyone's trying to spread the disease, it's just that there are a lot of people, especially in the U.S. who basically live by a "It's fake" policy, that doesn't help at all, and just makes it more frustrating, so I absolutely understand the families grievances at the same time.Originally posted by Mister Ed View PostComment

I can fully understand the frustration. I just don't think it is accurate to say "He'd still be alive today if it weren't for those people that don't wear masks!" Maybe he would, maybe he wouldn't. The disease isn't ONLY spread by people ignoring precautions.
That said, while the belief that mask wearing doesn't help and the belief that mask wearing would STOP the spread of the disease are both equally false, one is clearly more dangerous.Comment

People need to wear masks. Period. The ones who refuse to are stupid or jerks.Comment

The first true autonomous female voice on the Italian scene. With the death of Franca Valeri today a symbol disappears, as well as a great actress and a cultured, ironic, tasteful lady. She had just turned 100, she was born on July 31, 1920 in Milan, from a good family of Jewish origin, real name Franca Maria Norsa. Since its debut in 1948, with the stage name, derived from the French poet Paul Valery, "because my father did not want me to do theater", he had interpreted the vices, changes, weaknesses of a society in transformation and then decay, creating popular icons such as Signorina Snob or Sora Cecioni, an amazing success of which she has long felt a prisoner.Comment

James Harris (wrestler Kamala) dies at age 70.
He had not been well for some time and had both legs amputated. I gotta re-watch some old matches. His gimmick is very dated now to say the least. Interestingly, when he started in pro wrestling, he was shocked to find out the matches were predetermined.Last edited by Space Cop; 08-11-2020, 08:31 PM.
