Time will tell. Regardless if the losses are 10%, 3% or 1%, the country can't stay shut down. We, the People, are going to have to bite the bullet, take our losses and move forward.

Have you done the math on 58,000 dead vs 1M cases?

Agreed on Congress albeit "voluntarily". Americans need to scream at Congress en masse in order to force Congress to change.

In human intercourse the tragedy begins, not when there is misunderstanding about words, but when silence is not understood.

- Henry David Thoreau

Two nations between whom there is no intercourse and no sympathy; who are as ignorant of each other's habits, thoughts, and feelings, as if they were dwellers in different zones, or inhabitants of different planets. The rich and the poor.

- Benjamin Disraeli

Nobody can write the life of a man but those who have eat and drunk and lived in social intercourse with him.

- Samuel Johnson

We do not learn by inference and deduction and the application of mathematics to philosophy, but by direct intercourse and sympathy.

- Richard M. Nixon

War is not merely a political act but a real political instrument, a continuation of political intercourse, a carrying out of the same by other means.

- Carl von Clausewitz

It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.

- William Ellery Channing

The intercourse between the Mediterranean and the North or between the Atlantic and Central Europe was never purely economic or political; it also meant the exchange of knowledge and ideas and the influence of social institutions and artistic and literary forms.

- Christopher Dawson

In primitive society, man produced directly for the satisfaction of his own wants, but with the development of society came differentiation of function; exchange and barter arose, various trades sprang up, and with the necessity of commercial intercourse came the invention of money.

- Charles A. Beard

The India-China intercourse began from the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty. Both interacted with each other peacefully and conducted scholarly and ideological exchanges. Both loved and admired each other; never had there been a slight clash.

- Sun Yat-sen

You can tell if someone is about social intercourse or just about browbeating somebody with their opinion. It's no fun arguing with a closed-minded person.

- John Schneider

Any nation that refuses to hold intercourse with other nations must expect to be excluded from this family.

- Townsend Harris

Japan and China are isolated and without intercourse with other countries; hence the President directed me to attend to or watch the state of affairs in China also.

- Townsend Harris

The Emergency Banking Act reached back in time to amend the Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917, which had originally been intended to criminalize economic intercourse between American citizens and declared enemies of the United States.

- Thomas Woods

Thank you Legina Lesion for providing me with yet another opportunity to prove what an idiot you are, via JPP verbal intercourse.

I have always felt most Trump supporters have an 8th grade vocabulary.

COVID deaths: 58,965. What percent of 1M cases is 58K? Try not to think to hard about it since I know you have a problem keeping up with the topic.

On average, a reasonable assumption. On this forum, you're being too generous. I doubt most can win "Are You Smarter than a 5th Grader?"

Not all are due to a lack of education. As we've seen with the TD twins, TOP, Earl, Dark Soul and a few others, I suspect mental illness and alcoholism are factors which have caused a major deterioration in brain function.

Biden vs. Kavanaugh: How the #MeToo Numbers Stack Up

"Three years ago, the #MeToo movement was everywhere, with powerful men facing public reckonings seemingly on a weekly basis. Two years ago, when Supreme Court justice nominee Brett Kavanaugh was accused of sexual assault, wall-to-wall media coverage kept the allegations in the headlines for nearly a month. With the media showing little interest in the assault allegation against Joe Biden, has #MeToo’s media moment ended? Or are other forces at work?

The data provide some insights. The aftermath of Donald Trump’s election saw the birth of both the Women’s March and #MeToo as a rallying cry against male sexual harassment and assault. Despite considerable initial enthusiasm, the Women’s March has dropped off the media radar, all but disappearing by February 2019. Since November 2016, Fox News has mentioned it 1,108 times, MSNBC 1,028 times and CNN just 612 times.

Similarly, the #MeToo movement received steady media coverage from its October 2017 emergence through November 2018, but has largely vanished from CNN and MSNBC since then. Fox News continued to cover it through June 2019 and to date has mentioned it 762 times to MSNBC’s 423 and CNN’s 310, with Fox’s “The Ingraham Angle” and “Tucker Carlson Tonight” together accounting for nearly 13% of all mentions across the three channels.

In September 2018, Christine Blasey Ford’s allegations against Kavanaugh captivated the media’s attention, with CNN mentioning her name 1,898 times, MSNBC 1,878 times and Fox News just 1,066 times.

In contrast, over the past month, mentions of Tara Reade’s name on cable news have been almost nonexistent. Fox News has mentioned her 57 times to CNN’s nine times, while MSNBC has mentioned her name just once the past month. Google searches for Reade’s name are just a tenth of those for Blasey Ford’s. Broadening the search to any mention of “allegations” against Biden still yields just 158 mentions on Fox, 15 on CNN and 10 on MSNBC.

Similarly, online news coverage has mentioned Reade’s allegations less than 1% as often as it did Blasey Ford’s claims.

It isn’t just the TV news media that have covered the allegations so differently. A closer look at Biden’s and Kavanaugh’s Wikipedia pages and the discussion on the “Talk” pages for their entries (where contributors and editors discuss disagreements about what should be included in an article) shows their differing treatments.

Wikipedia has emerged over the past decade or more as a go-to source of “truth,” with search engines and social media platforms directing users to its entries for authoritative information on any given subject. Yet beneath its veneer of community consensus lie editorial decisions about what narratives should be told.

Take the Wikipedia entry for Brett Kavanaugh. Nearly a third of the total text in the opening summary of his article details the allegations against him and a large portion of the entry about his confirmation hearings focuses on those allegations. Discussions on the “Talk” page for his entry emphasize precedent for prominently mentioning such allegations, while discussions at the time of his confirmation largely revolved around wording choices and citations rather than whether the allegations should be included at all.

In contrast, Joe Biden’s Wikipedia entry includes only a single mention of the Tara Reade allegations near the bottom of his entry, with three sentences describing the allegations and three sentences denying them, one from the Biden campaign and two from a New York Times article. Discussion on the entry’s “Talk” page emphasizes whether the allegations should be mentioned at all and whether they should be seen as credible.

In the end, the media’s near-total silence on the allegations against the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee stands in stark contrast to the wall-to-wall coverage given to such claims against Kavanaugh. As #MeToo fades from the media landscape and the voices that loudly supported it for three years fall silent, it remains to be seen if the movement has simply fizzled out, or if political leanings underpin the distinction."

As others in this thread pointed out, intercourse is an acceptable and fairly sophisticated word to use in this context .

You might want to wipe the egg off your face

Vietnam deaths were an actual thread topic.

So? I was talking about COVID deaths and the OP, neither of which mentioned Vietnam. Not my fault you leaped to a conclusion without paying attention to or asking for additional facts. Man up and take responsibility for your own mistakes. I've done it since everyone makes typos and factual errors at times. Not a big deal.

Too bad you Trumptards are such grammatically challenged, immature morons....



Biden knows more about economics in his sleep than Trump or any of his 'tards.

And he obviously has a more advanced vocabulary.

Apparently not. Trump does not owe $8 billion to China. The U.S. does, and its more like $1.18 trillion; much of that occurred under Clinton and Obama, some of it under Bush.

For those who need a refresher: https://www.splcenter.org/fighting-hate/extremist-files/individual/frazier-glenn-miller
Coincidentally, Miller went on his own racially motivated killing spree on April 13, 2014 — which would have been Franklin’s 64th birthday — in Overland Park, Kan. He murdered a 14-year-old boy and his grandfather outside of a Jewish community center and a woman going to visit her mother at a Jewish assisted living facility, mistakenly believing them to be Jews.

Minutes after his arrest, Miller shouted “Heil Hitler” while handcuffed in the back seat of a police car. According to The Kansas City Star, he also asked the arresting officer, “How many fucking Jews did I kill?”
