first, best, biggest!

I didn't calculate anything.
Don't be like vic.

If you didn't comprehend what I inferred, I'll try to be more clear.

This virus is impacting our older population.
Young people catch the virus and get sick. But they survive.
Almost half the deaths are now being attributed to nursing homes.

Simple math should tell us that our efforts should be to protect those at risk. The best way to do that isn't to lock down those who are not at risk. That's short sighted at best.

The longer our officials waste their time on how many people can fit into a hair salon or bowling alley, the less time they have to work out an effective plan to protect our elderly.

The more money we spend figuring out ways to keep kids out of school and day camps and sports fields, the less money we have to treat or cure those over 60.

Despite what the House Democrats believe, we don't have unlimited funds. Everything we do and pay for is at a cost.
We can let the young and healthy keep our economy thriving while silently building up their own immunity for when this thing morphs again. Meanwhile we can protect and treat and test and cure the old folks.
And I'm a lot closer to being the one that needs a cure, but I refuse to mortgage my children's future to achieve it. It's surprising how many are willing to do that.

The only reason so many Americans are OK with the lock down is because they're getting paid to sit at home. You take that away and they'll scratch your eyes out in the supermarket if you look at the last package of hamburg before they do.

But you can hide behind the "they know better than you" attitude. "I want you to record your plea because I think you're wrong". Bravo.
I haven't manipulated the numbers.
I haven't succumbed to the fear mongering. the daily death toll without context.

It's funny.
All I've done is add context to the numbers.
Demographics to show who it's impacting. By age.
And I get accused of being misleading, stupid and now of "calculating" things to make a point.

Speaks volumes for how blinded you have become.

I’m not asking for you to record it for amusement or anything like that. I just think it would help train all the other folks working on this who have become blinded. There is only one of you but through technology we can leverage it as much as possible.

Tailgater’s math sucks! Can I get in on this statistical circle jerk?

I mean I guess we could look at a real example:

Death by age group

0-50 = zero
51-60 = 3
61-70 = 6
71-80 = 4
81-90 = 9
90+ = 10

I wonder if with enough study maybe we could detect a pattern in these numbers?

You and Tail should go protest at a capitol building then, rather than inform us... the powerless discount cigar forum readers.

You've got actual data that I'm sure the experts have neglected. Maybe if you made a nice multimedia chart and held it over your head during one of those protests?

I know it gets a little crowded at those protests, but I'm sure you can push your way through the crowd so you can get to the front. I have faith in your dedication to helping this country out.

Why would you say that?

There's a clear pattern. And it's definitely something you should tell your governor about.

Put it on a big sign.... make sure you write using huge letters....

I'm sure if you got in there, right in the middle of that crowd of protesters, and held your sign up reallllllllyyyy high.... that the governor will see the numbers too. He'll obviously recognize the pattern that only you currently know about, and he'll rush outside. He'll probably have the police push the crowd away... don't worry, he's just trying to get to you.... stand your ground and yell a lot so they can find you.

Once they get the rest of that rabble out of the way, he'll come up.... offer to shake your hand... and say "my dear hockeydad... thank you for saving us by bringing these numbers".... and he'll immediately call a meeting of Fauci and Trump and let you explain to them what they've clearly been missing all these weeks.

This will all probably work better if you make sure tail is with you to help hold the sign...

You’re prolly right. There’s no pattern there.

This new insight that has largely been missed is mind blowing. Since there is no video the only choice if for all of us to share this thread with anyone working on this issue. Not just the scientists and medical folks but politicians etc.

Wow just wow.

But the numbers will probably open a secret crypt in Tehran, which will unleash an airborne vaccine and save us all.

Le Hockeydad... you're our only hope.

Just heard from the folks in Tehran. The crypt lead was wrong and released the krakkan. Fortunately kraakkan tears cure the virus. It’s a small supply so we have to keep making him sad.

If you had not been blinded you would have followed the data and known that 98% of crypt openings result in reanimated mummies and plagues being released.

I think it is within the margin of error unless the numerator is adjusted for seasonal hiring during the holiday period.

The kraakkan has been put down. Also considered a covid related death. All kraakkans must now stay at home.

Oh yea...forgot... I’m sorry about what I said about the kraakkans mamma. I thought it was best for society but it was insensitive.

Don’t underestimate the dark tds in the medical and science fields. It’s a huge obstacle to overcome. Even trump good hoodwinked by them and shouldn’t be accountable for his decisions. Personal responsibility stops at them.

They better bring their AR-15s, and wooden machine guns and rocket launchers to make sure they're well armed to fight the dark forces of TDS.

I don’t want to get anyone’s hopes up but I saw on the angle last night a chiropractor that says ground up kraakkans bones lessen the symptoms for people older than 45 but younger than 65. We have dropped all other research and are making ground bones available in all battleground states.

Who would have thought... it's a miracle. Previously we only used ground cephalopod bones for Le Hockeydad's erection pills. This is a miracle. I'm going to go out and buy all the cephalopod bones right away before the price goes up.

I'm sure they're safe. Le Hockeydad hasn't died yet and he takes them all the time.

Does Puddin' know about this? He needs to make sure he tells everyone too!

Good...good.... meanwhile, to make sure there's no shortage of this important therapeutic, we should start opening ALL the secret tehran tombs possible. It'll take a lot, since Le Hockeydad says there's a less than 2% chance of it being a Kraken in there.... but we have to do it for the good of our economy.

What's the bone yield on a giant cephalopod anyway? I'm sure it must be really high. I bet Puddin' knows.

This?

Should get one with a Kraken on it, so everyone knows the new important discovered therapeutic.


Maybe just the skeleton ....

Hey, with numbers like that what could go wrong. Though I am doubly blind so what do I know?

I'm pretty sure no experts stated an "everyone will die" number.

Most of the respected organizations dialed in their predictions as more evidence was available, and as people's habits changed.

That, and the important kraken bone therapeutic you're going to go tell the governors about....

That's an intentional misinterpretation of data. A 2% mortality rate is not the same as 2% of the population dying.

Look.... I'm all for killing off 2% of Florida. Especially if I can personally select them. But that simply was never stated by anyone of any repute.

hate to say it but it has 100% death rate over 60 years old. 50-60 is the 2% rate. We will just have a younger planet.

As for the kraakkan bones.... we just found out they actually increase the death rate. We also found out Faucci had invested in a Kraakkan farm in Kentucky.

And soilent green is people

Oh good. Le Hockeydad and Tail will be happy to hear their efforts were successful!
