  - A significant amount of minorities are religious. - the wrong element, bad guy Jun 3, 11:08
  - Homophobic minorities at least makes internal logical sense if you think it's a behavior and a choice. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 10:34
  - Actually racist minorities are SUPER easy to understand. Not directed at you specifically, but the inability of liberal whites to understand it also - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:26
  - Racist minorities, as well. - Spawn Jun 3, 10:19
  - Those combos boggle the mind. Zero logic. -- nm* - Shaun Jun 3, 10:12 4

- How refreshing is it for someone to tell the truth about a failed response? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:49 1
  - Yes. This. -- nm - Andie Jun 3, 10:02
- I mean, it was a plan. It was basically an experiment with the population to see if they could "safely" achieve herd immunity. It has failed - pmb Jun 3, 09:49 16
  - Re: Second lock down when the second wave comes (it will)... I don't think you're going to see nearly the same number of jurisdictions shut down. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 3, 10:06 3
    - I'm curious. You are probably right given that going from 98/99% shutdown, there's only one way to go but down in terms of total number of shutdown - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:10 2
      - I'm sorta betting on a very similar to the first second wave - almost always happens in pandemics - but I could see less than 30% of the shut downs. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 3, 10:24 1
        
        I agree with the IM. As for the wave crest, it will depend, IMO, on how much international travel resumes - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:31
  - We've basically been doing human experiments all over the world. -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:50 11
    - Yup. What else are we supposed to do? -- nm - JackDawson Jun 3, 09:59 10
      - I think that's the most challenging question here. We really don't have a good idea on how to proceed. -- nm - David Jun 3, 10:11 9
        
        The reality is we all have a number where we would say it's not worth the effects of a lockdown. We're just arguing that number. -- nm - Dano Jun 3, 10:55 2
        
        Well said. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 3, 12:02
        
        Yes, you're absolutely right. -- nm - David Jun 3, 11:03
        
        I hate Trump for thinking the Dow and his reelection matter more than doing the right thing, beyond that and some "hoaxers" out there, it's hard for m - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:14 5
        
        Cases haven't spiked dramatically in a lot of places, but if you compare some places that initially had it very bad (ie Italy) - Reagen Jun 3, 10:23 4
        
        That's true but does depend on the level of the flat line. A flat line at 10 cases per day isn't the same as a flat line at 10,000. - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:27 3
        
        Sure, but it's been shown that you can do more than flatten - Reagen Jun 3, 10:31 2
        
        Of course, that's my whole point about different strokes for different folks and you can't talk about one size fits all - JackDawson Jun 3, 10:34 1
        
        Absolutely. Quebec is still raging at hundreds of cases a day and Shaun (rightly) gets annoyed at 3 new cases in NB. -- (edited) - Reagen Jun 3, 10:38
- You don't say... -- nm - Mop Jun 3, 09:47
- If the antibody numbers I posted earlier are even halfway accurate, then all the deaths in Sweden were for naught. Only 5% have antibodies. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:36

  - The full story on these strategies remains to be told, right? There are wildly varying approaches. If a vaccine is never found or it takes years, we - JackDawson Jun 3, 09:58

On a scale of 1 (grotesque sty) to 10 (could survive white glove treatment), how clean is your house right now? -- nm - prayformojo Jun 3, 09:18 23

- Not quite hoarder level -- nm - zeitgeist Jun 3, 09:52
- This house is super cluttered, but as far as cleanliness, it can go anywhere from a 3 to a 7 depending on how many times the dog hair gets swept up. - kelly Jun 3, 09:51
- 5? -- nm - loosilu Jun 3, 09:51
- I would score it a 6. Mrs zunk, a 2. -- nm - zunkskunk Jun 3, 09:47

Can any of us truly promise that we will never poop in a wig? -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 09:05 10
- I’m fairly confident I could. -- nm - spamlet Jun 3, 09:32 4
  - I mean I'd have to buy a wig first. -- nm - Reagen Jun 3, 09:38 3
    - I mean, it does not have to be your own wig. -- nm - ty97 Jun 3, 09:42 2
      - In fact, kind of encouraged. -- nm - Spawn Jun 3, 10:16
      - In this context, would a hat count as a wig? We need to check with Lea Michelle. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 3, 09:43
