700k American COVID-19 infections during the hoax so far. -- nm - David Apr 17, 15:27 11
- I'm pessimistic. The obfuscators are out. I saw a clip of Fox last night where Dr. Phil claimed 360,000 Americans die each year from swimming pools. -- nm - crash davis Apr 17, 15:41 9
  - I love the "People gonna die" logic. So let's do nothing to stop any of it! -- nm - Cuzzin Todd Apr 17, 16:19 3

      - I assume this is the stat he pulled (and got wrong): "In 2015, an estimated 360,000 people died from drowning." - Cuzzin Todd Apr 17, 17:03
  - Maybe, but I can't catch swimming pool-itis from someone else. -- nm - Dark Callisto Apr 17, 16:18 4
    - He was off by a factor of 100 (3,600). My point is they will say anything and blatantly lie to downplay this. -- nm - crash davis Apr 17, 16:20 3
      - Another thing that bothers me is that Dr. Phil IS NOT THAT TYPE OF DOCTOR! -- nm - crash davis Apr 17, 16:28 2
        
        He's not any type of doctor. -- nm - jnine Apr 17, 22:37

- Pressed potato sweepings! -- nm - con_carne Apr 17, 17:06
- yeah, I'm going to believe you later -- nm - crash davis Apr 17, 15:50

    - 2000 was his arrest. Though he was still getting money from it as late as 2013, he had no input. -- nm - Qale Apr 17, 14:43 2
      - Ugh. Why did I read the rest of his Wikipedia. He got out of jail and still found ways to offend. -- nm - Qale Apr 17, 14:47 1
        
        He's so garbage -- nm - Remlik Apr 17, 14:51

  - You say that like that’s a bad thing. -- nm - Qale Apr 17, 14:39 1
    - that's a good reason to go... wait, it'll be crowded again because everybody will think that. -- nm - colin Apr 17, 14:41
Xbox powered on. Good god, and it has to update for 20 mins. Fun!! -- nm - Shaun Apr 17, 14:36 3
- Incidentally... - Marlowe Apr 17, 16:07 1

- Skateboarding is not a crime! -- nm - Qale Apr 17, 14:38
- That seems like a lot of effort and cost. - JaxSean Apr 17, 14:38 2
  - No NIMBYism in Florida? SC is white and well off, these people probably go to sleep dreaming about filling that hole with sand. -- nm - con_carne Apr 17, 16:59
