Atlas is a total moron, just like his boss.  So sad people seriously support Trump at this point.

Honestly I think it's worse than that.  I think he's a relatively smart guy who has let politics overtake his reasoning, who confuses success in his field as a carte blanche to speak with authority medicine at large.  He seems like a pretty successful neuroradiologist but he's not even close to Fauci's level when it comes to infectious diseases.  

IMO a moron is a lot less dangerous than an intelligent a-hole with an agenda.

Super spreader Thanksgiving planned at the house. 👍

One of my fraternity brothers who use to be morbidly obese but has since lost a lot of weight before\during\after his kidney transplant just tested positive :sad: 

Not that anyone cares, but it looks like he will be ok.  Despite being a person at high risk from multiple angles he had a very mild case.  Doctors gave him the thumbs up to end quarantine.

I'll play devil's advocate: how many total Covid deaths were there during this time?

I was talking to my 8 year old son about Covid the other day.  He was asking what happens if you get it.  I was telling him that he should be okay if he gets it and gets treated for it, but there could be issues since he has asthma, but generally he should be okay.  He was asking if people could die from it, so I was telling him that yes, people can die from it, but most recover.  He said "okay, that’s good.  My teacher told me that people don’t die from it and that people are just exaggerating how bad it is.”

 

I was shocked and was getting really concerned.  I ask him when she told him that.  He said "oh, that was back when I was in the classroom.”  I was relieved, as that meant it was in early March.  I explained to him that back then, we didn’t know much about it and have since learned a lot more.  So while people thought that back then, most people don’t anymore.  

I got tested yesterday, it's pretty uncomfortable and weird but not too terrible

What’s there to play Devi’s advocate about?   It’s incredibly stupid and irresponsible for a politician who’s supposed to be a LEADER to be holding rallies where social distancing and wearing masks isn’t required nor encouraged.

Here's a thought: go find out.

Reports in today's media and also my personal contacts (anecdotal) are all up and up and this now inlcudes a couple of regions reporting a start of real upward trending with regard to admitted patients.  I'll have to wait for the updated published figures which come out on Friday to see the actual details but it sure looks like we are getting deeper into a true 2nd wave.

Trump's herd immunity guru's conspiracy theories getting smacked down by Mark Cuban is content we can all appreciate.

Because 30,000 cases and 700 deaths can be a lot, or 30,000 cases and 700 deaths can be not that much.

I think the point is that even a single death traced to an irresponsibly held campaign rally is inexcusable.

Atlas didn't even take a 24 hour break after being caught pumping disinformation on a Russian state news station. What a chode.

How would you define irresponsible?  I ask because you could make a case that most activities could be considered irresponsible if you try hard enough. What if a single death is attributed to trick-or-treating in the US?  What if a single death is attributed to eating inside a restaurant?  What if a single death is attributed to having kids in school?  What if a single death is attributed to having food or online orders delivered?

What kind of asinine logic is this?   By this reasoning, if Trump were to get drunk and then get behind the wheel and kill somebody, it's not a big deal because it would just be 1 death out of the thousands that occur every year on the road.   Holy hell......................

Holding a mass rally where social distancing and wearing masks is not only NOT required but also NOT encouraged is irresponsible.  Period.  End of story.  I didn't think that 8 months into a global pandemic this would still need to be explained, but here we are...........

There's a difference between a conscious action and a disease. The spread of a disease is ultimately unpreventable, despite every effort to mitigate it, whereas getting drunk is preventable.

Holding a rally is a conscious action.
