Speaking of seatbelts, do any of you remember the outrage that seatbelts first caused among some in the population? Nut bags will be with us always.

Here is an interesting paper that just came out. It is a modeling paper so if you think models are all junk then it is probably not worth your time reading it. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/ ... ce.abd7343

Does TLD ski, at all? Probably wears a helmet

I hate the activity. A dead person can do it. May not do it well but a dead body can go from top of a mountain to the bottom.

I grew up skiing the icy "mountains" south of Syracuse. No one wore helmets and we all were in neon. When I go out now anywhere around the country people without helmets are a vast minority. Lots of people back in neon for some reason...

In high school, our starting LSM's father died running into a tree. A couple of deaths a year up there was normal. Putting a helmet on now is like wearing a seat-belt.

learn to TURN.......and you won't hit a tree. Learn to tune your own equipment too........when living in ski country, tuned skis EVERY nite. Especially in the icy east.

I don't wear a helmet while bike riding, either....it's as if lacrosse players nevah get concussions while wearing a helmet. I had to rent a helmet when going down the rabbit hole at Killington a few weeks back........what fun. Not much exercise, except for your lower arms. Don't know why those expensive FULL suspension bikes need all those gears......you rarely pedal uphill, if at all.

163,548 of these deaths were registered Republicans. you know, the deplorables that have no money and die, mostly alone, in nursing homes, paid for 100% by U.S. tax payer. Any nursing home chain traded on the stock market? exactly

So, isn't this a good thing? unless, you are grouped in if the folks that would be elated if the current POTUSA died.

I do ride back up the mountain........my bike cost $800 bucks 15 years ago. Still works fine.

Trump Falsely Claims COVID Affects ‘Virtually Nobody’ Who’s Young Despite Near 20K Death Toll

https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trum ... death-toll

Trump painted the virus as something that only really impacts elderly people “with heart problems and other problems” but “nobody young.”

“Below the age of 18, like nobody. They have a strong immune system,” the President said. “Who knows? Take your hat off to the young, because they have a hell of an immune system.”

“But it affects virtually nobody,” he added. “It’s an amazing thing.”

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), COVID-19 had caused the death of 19,295 Americans between the ages of 0 to 17 by September 12.

Above article is wrong. Number should be 92.

[RedFromMI]

PB apparently does not know that the President's statements promising a vaccine before it is ready is why no one wants to be the guinea pig...

Notice that the Rs are still much more resistant to a vaccine. Must be the party of antivaxxers...

Why in the world would you make that your habit?

The risk of falling and getting a concussion would be the best thing that happens. sheesh.

I told a friend of mine about 14 years ago how the internet was going to dumb down America. He thought I was crazy. He told me a couple of years ago that I may have been right. It’s basic common sense. Some of the smartest people ever to walk the plant didn’t have a computer.....other than their brain.

What's the fatality rate at these days?
What about serious case rate?
Is it waning?
Local MD colleges are not shutting anything down with sysmptoms- or requiring a test right now. They just make the student/faculty stay home for 2 weeks and return after your quarantine.

I don't think it is the Internet per se. Some segments of the American populous have always been ignorant and proud of it. I think personal computers and modern communication technology just highlights the inherent ignorance.
