In Denmark hair dressers were among the first to be allowed to open. They can easily run in a way that prevents contagion from spreading as long as they practice industry standard hygiene, and just clean off the seats. Easy adaptations were made in Denmark and we saw no noticeable rise in infection rates even after two weeks.

7th/6th most deadly in terms of body count, or in terms of percentage of the population? Because it's much easier to rack up high numbers with a larger population. If three million people in the US suddenly died just now, that would be about 1% of the population. If three million people died in 1790, that would be about 75% of the total population. I feel percentage is a better indicator.

I got the 5 major wars correct in their order of deadliness for Americans, but waaay underestimated the pandemics, and how many of those there had actually been in the 20th century.
The rate things are going with Covid in the US, I wouldn't be surprised if it reaches #1.The first to state his case seems right until another comes and cross-examines him.

Originally posted by seer View PostNonsense DO. There is risk and reward on every level. What is worse, more COVID deaths or effectively destroying an economy and small businesses, with effects that last for years? Again, like I said:

The relevant issue which RWNJ seem to miss is that the destruction of our economy was entirely unnecessary. Shutting down the economy is the measure of last resort to deal with an emergency situation, not the ideal way to attacking this disease (which would be testing and contact tracing). All the blame for whichever outcome we end up with, heaps of dead, a destroyed economy, or both, rests entirely on Trump and his administration. Don't attempt to shift the consequences of the *measure of last resort* onto those actually implementing it at their own political risk or make the goofy comparison to guns or swimming pools.

Originally posted by DivineOb View PostYes, there is risk and reward on every level. But pointing at cars and saying "cars kill, cars bad" is caveman level reasoning which can't possibly hope to explore the issue on a deep enough level to actually make a point.

Originally posted by seanD View PostIt's actually a pretty accurate comparison. If we had the 24/7 news coverage of auto fatalities that we have with the C-19 pandemic, not only would we see the same exact level of public hysteria about the issue, but we'd have policies implemented that would radically change those fatality outcomes. It's the EXACT same analogy in fact.
