  1. Yeah they cannot occur at all or develop much slower by simply taking care of oneself. Does a person really need a doctor to tell someone they are fat and heading towards severe medical issues if they don't eat better and exercise? Oh and by the way our mortality rate is half of what some UHC countries are when it comes to observed case fatality rate. The fact that we have a high infection rate has just as much to do with how American's live their life than whether or not our HC is run by the govt. In fact Canada's observed case fatality rate is MUCH higher than ours. What people have to wait in line to get treated there? https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality
  2. Funeral directors are responsible for getting the death certificate completed. In general, their duties are to: + Complete, or have completed, all items on the death certificate. + Obtain the cause-of-death information and certification statement from the attending physician or medical examiner or coroner. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/data/misc/hb_fun.pdf
  3. Fact is the average fatality associated with COVID has on average 2.6 of the underlying preexisting conditions. These are extremely unhealthy people. The one person who passed away out of the dozens and dozens I know couldn't walk to the car from the house without oxygen. A chest cold could have killed her.
  4. There is data from the CDC that sure make that look like the case.
  5. Lots of places taking the "precautions" and still have rising rates. In fact a much higher percentage of positive tests are from people who say they constantly wear masks. No stopping this even with a vaccine. Needs to run its course and we can't ruin the economy and society in general over it. Fact is it could be with us year after year now just like the flu. Get yourself as healthy as you can.
  6. In the Northwoods the past few days. Hardly anyone is wearing masks and plenty of people sitting close together in bars.
  7. Really have to be blind not to see where the dems will take this country.
  8. Can someone say "momentum." Trump Approval Index History DATE APPROVAL INDEX STRONGLY APPROVE STRONGLY DISAPPROVE TOTAL APPROVE TOTAL DISAPPROVE 23-Oct-20 -4 40% 44% 51% 48% 22-Oct-20 -2 41% 43% 52% 48% 21-Oct-20 -5 40% 45% 49% 50% 20-Oct-20 -7 39% 46% 49% 50% 19-Oct-20 -7 39% 46% 48% 50% 16-Oct-20 -8 38% 46% 48% 50% 15-Oct-20 -9 37% 46% 47% 51% 14-Oct-20 -8 38% 46% 47% 51% 13-Oct-20 -8 38% 46% 48% 51% 12-Oct-20 -6 39% 45% 49% 50% 09-Oct-20 -11 36% 47% 46% 52% 08-Oct-20 -12 36% 48% 45% 53% 07-Oct-20 -15 34% 49% 44% 54% 06-Oct-20 -14 34% 48% 45% 54% 05-Oct-20 -12 35% 47% 46% 53% 02-Oct-20 -12 35% 47% 46% 53%
  9. How Joe looked most the debate. Dude's got anger issues.
  10. Where am I wrong MC? Damn how can you not see it? Govt completely run HC, take away guns, take away speech they don't like, take away the internal combustion engine, shut down business' because of a virus that kills less than .01% of people who get it. Do you have any doubts the dems would like control or take over almost every industry from food to energy to medicine to you name it? Hell they want to try and erase our history. Face it dude they want a new start on a whole new country with them as the puppet masters at the top.
  11. Prediction might not be as crazy as one would think. Reports are Sanders is pushing for a cabinet level position. A environmental nutbag like that could have dire consequences for sledding on fed public ground as Sec of the Interior or head of the EPA.
  12. The statistics simply do no match your claim. Everyone might not have the exact same opportunity but its more to do with things other than income inequality and more to do with things like 2 parents in the home, being taught the value of education, hard work, being taught the value of budgeting, saving and investment. Lots of people who come from nothing get very wealthy and a lot of wealthy people end up living in squalor.
  13. The middle class is "shrinking" because more American's are moving up out of if than down. https://www.aei.org/carpe-diem/yes-the-us-middle-class-is-shrinking-but-its-because-americans-are-moving-up-and-no-americans-are-not-struggling-to-afford-a-home/ 1. Middle-Class Shrinkage. If the middle class is shrinking, where are they going? There are only two places/directions they can go: Up or Down. And in fact, the middle class really is shrinking, but it’s because so many US households are moving up to higher income groups, not down to lower-income groups, as the chart below shows (thanks to AEI’s Olivier Ballou).
  14. The FBI and IRS know the color of Trump's stomach contents. If there was anything there it would have been leaked and you know it. I'm not sure any person in our countries history has been investigated more by LE and the media than Trump and his family.
  15. No doubt. I look forward to solar roof that is reasonably priced. If you look at the science we are about as far as we can get extracting energy from sun or wind......its the storage that needs to keep up.
  16. Biden looked mad as hell most of the debate. Surprised his Botox could keep up.
  17. Agreed but this idea that we are going to end the use of fossil fuels in 12 years is absurd even as a far reaching extremists goal.
  18. Solar, wind, nuclear and fossil fuels all have a place in modern society.
  19. Wind and solar powered mine equipment.
  20. Meant the "family." Maybe not "hundreds" but I'd bet its shocking how much. https://www.forbes.com/sites/michelatindera/2020/10/22/how-the-bidens-earned-167-million-after-leaving-the-white-house/#3b6f723d1e42
  21. Yep. That story is being ignored and its in his released documents! I'd like to know how a guy who basically done nothing but govt is worth hundreds of millions. I want to be clear.....I have no problem with political figures making money after they leave office in book deals or speeches to a certain point. The concern with the Biden's is it coming thru his son and brother WHILE he was in office.
  22. Correct Joe.....you personally may have never taken money from a foreign country/company directly however your son did then that company your son owned paid you. Nice deflection.
