COVID19 Factors We Should Consider/Current Events

1500 African men formed spontaneous migrant mob army in northern Italy and attacked localities and girls



Bringing back asylums today would be extremely dangerous. They would be used for political persecution with 100% certainty. You want American gulags? This is how you get American gulags. There are some things that simply will not function in a low trust society, and there's no way around it. Have the balkanizing civil wars first, and then we can reconsider the question.

I don't remember hearing about this at all. I have gone to Peschiera del Garda with my ex a few years ago, but I don't remember seeing immigrants there, mostly families enjoying a day out, since the Gardaland park is right there. We were too busy thinking about Covid I guess

The point was:
1) One side of the C19 conflict is cranking out publications and the other side responds with a watery eyed woman reciting a poem with despondent music in the background.

Have you read these, even just the abstracts? At a quick look the first few of these are about pulmonary aspergillosis which is a fungal infection that sick people are more prone to and there are known treatments for. One of the studies links the rates of pulmonary aspergillosis to use of mechanical ventilation patients. One of them states Covid associated pulmonary aspergillosis has a similar incidence to influenza associated pulmonary aspergillosis.

“Discovery cohort CAPA incidence was similar to influenza-associated pulmonary aspergillosis (IAPA) incidence in ICUs (12,13). CAPA seems to develop later after ICU admission than IAPA.”

Yes there are studies, but what do they actually say with backing data?

The basic laws of Human Stupidity by Carlo M. Cipolla:

The first basic law:
Always and inevitably everyone underestimates the number of stupid people in circulation.

The second basic law:
The probability that a certain person be stupid is independent of any other characteristic of that person.

The third (and golden) basic law:
A stupid person is a person who causes losses to another person or to a group of persons while himself deriving no gain and even possibly incurring losses.

The fourth basic law:
Non-stupid people always underestimate the damaging power of stupid individuals. In particular, non-stupid people constantly forget that at all times and places and under any circumstances to deal and/or associate with stupid people infallibly turns out to be a costly mistake.

The fifth basic law:
A stupid person is the most dangerous type of person. A stupid person is more dangerous than a bandit.

Which are you? Which am I? Stupid or non stupid.

A typical AI mistake.

They say that Covid-19 is bad for humans.

They say that Covid-19 is bad for humans.

So is the flu.

Doesn’t this mean non-stupid people are stupid? Definitely AI.

So is the flu.

Remember when the flu "disappeared" during the coof pandemic? I thought that was pretty funny when the state media parroted the talking points thàt flu and colds went away because of masking and antisocial distancing.

Well, clearly masks are so fucking awesome that they totally filter out THOSE viruses. COVID is just so fucking super slippery though...
