With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.

Interesting link, says 90% of the expenditures are from chronic ailments (mostly heart disease) and mental health diseases. Prevention can cut down alot of those factors. Sedentary lifestyle, diet, and stress (inflammation) are all items that need an overhaulWe the people are the rightful masters of both Congress and the courts, not to overthrow the Constitution but to overthrow the men who pervert the Constitution. - Abraham Lincoln

On Wednesday, the U.S. reported 181,490 new COVID-19 cases and 2,297 deaths. The disease has killed more than 268,000 Americans (wiping the equivalent of St. Petersburg FL off the map) and infected at least 12.7 million (more people than Pennsylvania, our 5th largest state).
Also on Wednesday, Trump told the nation in his Thanksgiving proclamation that they should "gather" and made zero mention of safety protocols to minimize the spread of COVID-19. Another demonstration of the fact that he doesn't give a crap about actual people.
Happy Thanksgiving, my friends. Stay safe.Last edited by -Jrabbit; November 26, 2020, 15:37.Apolyton's Grim Reaper 2008, 2010 & 2011

No. Remember, last Spring the administration took quiet joy in learning that COVID was concentrated in cities and disproportionately affecting people of color. Equally stupid. That has changed over time, and we know that the virus does not discriminate.
There is no silver lining.

The virus doesn't discriminate, but medical care in the US does. The poor are being hit hardest and that will continue. And in the US, that will hit POC more than white people. But, as the Dakotas have shown, poor white people will die in droves too; they will not realize what killed them because they are believing the pathetic liars in the GOP leadership.

The Oxford vaccine seems to be ~70% effective (might be greater, they accidentally gave half-dose as the first of two inoculations to a small subset, and they faired really well, although were mostly on the younger side). This is great news, since it costs an order of magnitude less than the Moderna and Pfizer vaccines, only needs standard refrigeration, and AstraZeneca van produce more than twice as many doses as Moderna and Pfizer put together during 2021.Indifference is Bliss

It's November 28. That's 4 weeks of November. In that time, the US has so far recorded more than 4 million official coronavirus cases.
That's roughly 30% of the country's pandemic total of 13.1 million total official cases, according to Johns Hopkins University data. In under a month. And that suggests that it's going to get worse before it gets better.

Dr Scott Atlas, Trump's Covid non-expert, has resigned. Tho says his contract just run out.
(...)he said his advice had "always focused on minimising all the harms from both the pandemic and the structural policies themselves, especially to the working class and poor".

Atlas had no prior expertise in infectious diseases or pandemic response before joining the White House. His medical background is in diagnostic radiology, while his bio page at Stanford University’s right-wing Hoover Institution, where he is a senior fellow, states that his focus is on “the impact of government and the private sector on access, quality, pricing, and innovation in health care.”
Despite Atlas’ lack of qualifications, he confidently adopted a contrarian view on the virus early in the pandemic. In April op-eds for The Hill, he argued that “unprecedented isolation policies and near-total economic lockdowns” were not sustainable and that the “appropriate policy” was to “protect the known vulnerable, self-isolate the mildly sick and open most workplaces and small businesses with some prudent large-group precautions.”

With his bg in radiology he should have pushed for rayguns to shoot the virus. So we could have Pfizer guns by now...Blah
