Fake news. Based on your last response, you’re not very zen. More fake news. I’m not stupid.

Wow. That’s not very nice. Do you have anger issues? I hope not.

It’s a good way to go through life. Ignore the opinions with which you disagree.

This is nice except for the fact that Hillary won the popular vote in 2016. So the whole idea of “who WOULDN”T want Trump over Hillary” fails to account for the fact that HIllary earned about 2 million more votes (and 2% more of the popular vote). In your words, “[a] little intellectual honesty goes a long way. Try it some time.”

Yeah I saw that nonsense. By that logic, I suppose that when Trump does something disrespectful or not befitting the office, he too disprespects the office. Say what you will about George W. Bush and Barack Obama, but those two were and are classy guys who treated the office with the dignity it deserves. For as much as Trump bags on the Clintons, he’s just as bad as Bill in terms of the respect he shows to the position. Ladies and gentlemen, this post wins the Internet today. Great job. Thank you for your insight and reason. This was extremely impressive and a job very, very well done.

There’s no condescension here. I’m just looking out for everyone’s feelings. Maybe you didn’t realize how hurtful your comments could be. It’s important to warn you about something like that so that maybe you can change your behavior.

What “discredited horse[manure]” has been brought up in the last ten pages?

It’s still no reason to be so mean. How would you like it if someone was mean to you?

That raises an interesting question. If that is Tom Bauerle, then I wonder whether he types with his invisibility cloak. Can one even type with an invisibility cloak? Is the keyboard under the cloak? These are important questions that must be answered.

That is not very nice. Just because someone disagrees with you does not mean that you should be nasty to them.

I understood your question to refer to the meaning of “weight” in this context. That definition, frankly, is obvious.

We may have a new candidate for the Snowflake List.

I'll reiterate. Name calling is a sign of defeat.

Nah, it's not about Russia. It's about a confused Trumper. Fast questioning makes him nervous. And unable to answer.

The only person I've seen refer to commie propaganda here is Deranged Rhino. In point of fact, he is a commie. Let's just get that out there.

Maybe it's confusing to Mr. Winslow. Or perhaps it's rushed. Kind of like when this esteemed official became confused: Fake news. I'm not lost anywhere.

I'll reiterate. Name calling is a sign of defeat.

That's sort of the point. From what I've seen, the weight of the data doesn't support a broad reopening. I haven't read every study, absorbed all of the relevant data, or frankly spent a great deal of time analyzing the issue. So I can't say for sure. But nothing I've seen convinces me that a broad reopening would be a good plan. If the weight of the data supporting reopening was obvious, then (obviously) we would be in a different position. With respect to the first comment, you asked what is "weight of the data?" That question was definitional, and the answer is obvious. It's at least 50% + 1, e.g., most of the data, or the heaviest part of the data.

Why is it patently fake? If I said I watch the President daily, would you think that's fake, too?

Kind of like OAN viewers. Or is that "non-fake" news? I get so confused trying to figure out which news is regarded as fake and which is real these days. One day the WSJ is real. Then it's fake. One day Fox is real. Then that's fake, too. It's almost as if whether news is real or fake depends on whether such news is good or bad for Trump. Good work on addressing the statement. Now, the question. Is that fake, too?

Weight of the data is pretty obvious. I'll leave that alone. On reopening, my general POV is that there probably isn't a one size fits all solution, and that reopening probably will have to be gradual, both in terms of geography and industry. The Cuomo approach seems to be a smart one, and the grouping of linked areas (e.g., tri-state area around NYC) makes a lot of sense. Whether the weight of the data supports that position I can't say - I haven't studied the issue sufficiently to reach such a conclusion.

Let's dig a little deeper here. You said "much" of the data supports reopening. "Much," as you know, is a fungible thing. It could be 10%. It could be 35%. Or it could be more. I'd like the weight of the relevant information to support reopening. It's kind of like the HCL discussion. There is some information that supports its broad use in this context. But the weight of the data does not. Said differently, the approach isn't generally accepted within the relevant scientific community. So I would wait on that front, and would take the same approach on reopening unless and until the relevant scientific community accepts an approach.

No. I don't need it, and to my understanding it's pretty bad both for the environment and for people. But also bad for Coronavirus. So, take the good with the bad, I guess.

Not sure what you're talking about with respect to the "esteem of posters." Are you talking about my views of one poster? Two posters? Or a larger group of posters? I can't answer the question without additional information. That aside, I'm here largely for entertainment. And, at least this morning, to inform the world of my potential Covid Cure.

Probably too busy racing to Home Depot or Lowe's (with their gun t-shirts and without their masks, if they're anything like the people at the OP Lowe's) to get Roundup after I announced my miracle cure.
