    I can't help but notice the difference in the use of language in a scientific journal's abstract (Elsevier and Travel Medicine and Infectious Disease) and CNN's 'reporting' on an article published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

     

    I'm trying to find a way to access the article, or at least the abstract of the Detroit team's article published in the International Journal of Infectious Diseases.

     

    Let's face it, most people are not accessing Elsevier or scholarly journals for facts. They rely on the media for a summary of facts to inform and form opinion on pressing topics.

     

    ok? that still doesn't explain the fact that people want to put the blame on the media for how poor the US is handeling the virus. thats a piss poor take. government officials are the ones making the rules and had Texas, Arizona, and Florida taken a global pandemic seriously like many other states they would have saved more lives.

    Imagine how many lives could have been saved had the media done its job rather than purposefully lied to America and the world just because they have a real bad case of TDS... 

     

    stop blaming the media. the media controls nothing. they run stories to get ratings, thats it. they have no say in legislation or health guidelines. 

     

    the US government should deserve all the blame. 

  3. Florida is finally making their Covid hospitalizations public. and the numbers are very worrying 

     

    can't believe its July and they just made this info public. worst run state in the country by far.

    there has literally been hundreds of peer reviews studies around the world that show the drug has little to NO effect on this virus 

     

    stop posting fake information. its disgusting.

    If anyone thinks Snyder will go with the flow and name the team what other people want, they don't know Daniel Snyder.

     

    If forced, Snyder will name the team what he he wants as it will be his legacy...and I'm willing to bet it will be something controversial.

     

    How about the Washington Indians?

     

    Don't even need a logo change.

     

    Snyder will do whatever the rest of the league tells him to do. If the other owners feel he needs to change the name he will do it.

    I don't know if this has been covered in the 9 previous pages, because I don't really feel like reading through all 9 pages, but I wanted to ask an honest question. What if people kneel during this so called Black National Anthem? Say they are people doing so in support of local police or whatever their reason may be. Then what? Will that be seen as acceptable? Probably not. My thought is you would see how quickly the shoe ends up on the other foot. The MSM would be pumping it all over as a hate crime or something re-tarded as such. This whole thing is not only ridiculous, it's a recipe for disaster. It sure as hell isn't going to bring people together that were seen as apart before. If anything it will drive the wedge further. 

     

    why would they kneel in support of local police? I must have forgot the decades long of injustice local police have endured

    It’s about the enduring spirit of American freedom. The flag is a SYMBOL of that freedom. It’s not about war. 
     

    Oh, say, can you see? By the dawn's early light
    What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming;
    Whose broad stripes and bright stars, through the perilous fight,
    O'er the ramparts we watched were so gallantly streaming.
    And the rocket's red glare, the bombs bursting in air.
    Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there:
    Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave?
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    On the shore, dimly seen through the mists of the deep,
    Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
    What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
    As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
    Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
    In fully glory reflected now shines in the stream:
    'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh, long may it wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!

    Lyrics continue below

    FEATURED VIDEO

    Last.fm's Top Pop Tracks

    And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
    That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
    A home and a country should leave us no more?
    Their blood has washed out their foul footsteps' pollution!
    No refuge could save the hireling and slave
    From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave:
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

    Oh, thus be it ever, when freemen shall stand
    Between their loved home and the war's desolation!
    Blest with victory and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
    Praise the Power that hath made and preserved us a nation!
    Then conquer we must, when our cause it is just,
    And this be our motto: "In God is our trust":
    And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
    O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave. 

     

    yes, it was written during wartime, a war being fought on newly found American soil. Invaded and defended again, with the blood and spirit of freedom and liberty. People should be taught to embrace this, the way we used to be taught, so that when the flag waves and the words are sung by 75,000 people, that spirit fills us all. That same spirit which allows for a place in the world where people can disagree, and not be persecuted for it.

     

    But pandering to the Twitter Mob is easier because people will be appeased, but never satisfied. 

     

    America really isn't that special, relax

    You should have to wear an American flag on your head to watch an NFL game.  If you disagree you are a traitor commie. 

     

    don't forget "Marxist". its the new hot phrase they have been using. most of them can't even give a simple definition on the term actually. 

  7. if you don't want politics how about we start with removing all the military propaganda/recruitment videos that airs during every commercial break.

    Oh boy, this is going to go down well. 

     

    That said, why do they even have to play the national anthem? (When two American teams play each other.)

    I can kinda understand it during ice hockey and other sports where a team from Canada or another country comes to play.

     

    I mean america forces their kids from kindergarden to stand up and pledge their allegiance to the flag every morning so not surprising.

      He was talking about you but could not say your name due to COC concerns.

      Why?  Because Japan does not have tens of thousands of Chinese running through it because of their recent history including the Second World War.  

     

    Japan is closer to China than America lol ever look at a map? 

     

    Chinese people in america have nothing to do wit how our virus spread. we got the european strain, the one AMERICAN tourists brought over after visiting Italy and Spain. damn you sound like an idiot.

    You're nothing but a racist POS. You're worthless. A traitor to your country ( if you're even a American citizen, which I doubt)

     

    I was born and raised here, my parents are refuges of war (caused by America) 

     

    I'm as american as you are bud. does that piss you off? 

     

    just because some people aren't happy with the state of the country right now doesn't make them un-american.

    Your argument above is that protests didn't result in any outbreaks. My counter argument was, if that is true, then there should be no problem with similar events, like sitting in a stadium watching a baseball game.

     

    It is a simple one to one comparison in terms of health risks. If one event doesn't, how do you put it, "result in the death of old people," then a similar event shouldn't "kill old people" either.

     

     

    Now your argument is that they both present health risks in terms of "resulting in the death of old people;" however, the motivation for the gathering is what makes it ok to kill old people?

     

    You truly are an idiot. Seriously, you are not very smart.

     

    AS AN ASIDE: Numerous people, including myself, have asked you to followup with your childish tantrum about the white supremacist in Louisville. You know the hispanic BLM protester, Steven Lopez?

     

    While you are posting inane drivel, maybe you could address that as well?

     

     

    there is literally zero proof that guy was part of the BLM protest. 

     

    he was also homeless and had a gun. how does a homeless person get a gun in this country? oh wait, anyone can get a gun because we hand them out like candy.

    Why do you consider increased cases as difficulty fighting through it? Was it your expectation that it would go away if we hid long enough? 

     

    its not just cases though, its the entire ideology of dealing with the pandemic. america has successfully turned a health concern into a political statement. people are more obsessed with news companies fear mongering than stoping the spread of the virus.

    So, essentially some people did something?

     

    Nothing to see here, move along.

     

    you pass off anyone protesting and label them as a criminal or thug, there have been millions of people peacefully protesting around the country. a few billion dollar companies lose a store and America who are living paycheck to paycheck start whining. its like you people worship these companies ..its honestly embarrassing.

    You have a very strange definition of proven, but I guess that isn't surprising when you have a strange definition for defund. Am I wrong in assuming you also have strange definitions for gender and racism?

     

    it isn't really strange. why can't anyone in this thread explain why america is having such a hard time fighting through this virus? And don't blame it on the high population because thats not it. 

     

    Tokyo is more densely populated than any city in this country and did a 100x better job at controlling this virus..why?

    If it has been proven that thousands upon thousands of people, shoulder to shoulder, for hours on end, did not result in any major out breaks, then why are we not in baseball stadiums right now watching our favorite teams?

     

    because protesting for human rights and watching a baseball game is so far apart in terms of importance, and the fact you can't see that is mind blowing

     

    your argument is basically stating baseball is as important as decades long of injustice. you will never EVER win this argument.

    Kinda like all those NY nursing home deaths are on Cuomo, right?

     

    I don't like Cuomo? if that is what you are implying. he is another DNC puppet.

    I've never seen such an ugly group of obnoxious f&^% sticks taking glee at people dying, spreading chaos,

    and praising criminals.

     

     

    who is celebrating people dying? who is spreading chaos? you act like your daily life is effected by this. the privilege is absurd. 

     

    a few confederate statues came down and america is a anarchist state now? get a grip bud
