haha...exactly. Malaria is the worst analogy ever to COVID. Malaria can't be spread from person to person.
Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?
Previously loved, slightly demo'ed....etc.
Gosh, when I sell the old car I should not list it as "used" ....perhaps "formerly observed", "slightly touched", "once considered", "only driven by a Little Old Lady from Riverside, Ca."
But thankfully no items sold are "used" any longer, really helps my faith in the market.
"Creative writing and the Internet" should be a required course for all "Semi-liberal arts" degrees"

The point about malaria is, it has been a world wide issue for MANY years. It is somewhat controlled. Yet every year thousands upon thousand are affected. It is an ongoing pandemic... There are some lasting long term affects.
It is on the RISE again because of bans on DDT for one, and a few others. Influenza on the other hand does not have as many long term effects. BUT the same principal apply as far as prevention. Social distance, mask. 50-100K per year, die. 50-150 million infected. It's pretty darn contagious. SARS, same as Covid, VERY contagious, Ebola the same way VERY contagious... Higher death toll per infection, capital, and many more long lasting effect on some, heart, kidney, lung issues.. The problem was a treatment, we had treatment for most of the other illnesses. We now have a vaccine, things are a lot better. But I haven't been vaccinated, yet either.. As for the pandemic is "Only if American have it", you haven't traveled much have you?.. You know out of the US. When you have to work outside the US, I mean WORK!! You understand how clean it is in the US, and how good working conditions are.. We have a lot going for us in the US, a whole lot.. Regards |
Well, checking the "facts" shows more than 308K deaths from Covid so far and that exceeds WW II American deaths by quite some margin. Just yesterday, 3,400 died and they're expecting over 3,000 dead per day for the foreseeable future. At that rate, expect 40K more dead by Christmas and maybe hit 400,000 by end of year if it rises at present rate. If anything, it's blushing in comparison. All the best, Nonoise |
@seekerbob You'd think this organization might know a thing or two about what happened. Check it out and scroll down a little. https://www.nationalww2museum.org/students-teachers/student-resources/research-starters/research-starters-us-military-numbers And while we're at it, let's compare oranges with oranges, US with US. |
