Unfortunately, most people don't understand probableistic risk assessment.

I'm 50, overweight, and take medication for high blood pressure. My risk is higher than my kids who are teenage athletes. But I had COVID, so my risk goes down in regards to getting it and getting really sick in the future - immunology 101. My kids? They have a higher risk of side effects from an unapproved experimental vaccine (and that is exactly what they are. The FDA takes *years* to determine approval of new drugs and therapies, and all previous coronavirus vaccine testing proved unsuitable for human use) than they do of serious COVID outcomes.

What can you say about a US President who gets a note about something on his face and he eats it.... while being televised?

Yeah except if Trump were to do such a disgusting thing on camera you'd all still be talking about it daily. Partisan hacks pretending to be psychologists (like some here on this forum) would be on every talk show explaining how it is a sign that he's lost his mind and needs to be removed from office immediately.

The different reaction by the press ought to tell you a lot more.

Not me! Said it so many times I do not care who's your President and I would have said the same if it had happened to Trump.

Yeah, that was really disturbing but business as usual for him at the same time.

It reveals a *deep* psychological problem. Adults wipe it off. Either he still eats his own boogers, or it was an inadvertent reveal of the depth of his Alzheimers. People suffering from Alzheimers often revert to behaviors that they outgrew in going from childhood to adulthood.

I understood it.... Let me paraphrase it in plain English:

That pretty much sums up your statement.

The way I see it if I get it I have a 98% chance of recovering (if I could get those kind of odds in Vegas, I'd take up gambling), If I don't recover and I die, my wife gets all my stuff.

Nope. My statement is don't cry for an ambulance when you fail to beat the odds. Fight your last fight on the top of fool's hill. Here's hoping your wife doesn't inherit more than your toys. Good luck, Def.

As I mentioned in the "virus" thread, the smaller community hospital I work at is essentially at capacity now. The crunch is from the unvaccinated during the summer, it's not flu, season. I guess it's just tough there's no room for accident victims etc.

The arrogance of some people never ceases to amaze.
