Straight grain lumber from Lowe’s or the Home Depot? Get the fuck out of here with that fantasy...
The best way to combat this “virus” is to shut off the fucking tv and internet and go about your day!
Sweden is not really having a laugh and they are far from done, first of they have 10x the death tool of their neighbors and second they have a 40% larger drop in GDP than the neighbors.
One thing folks touting Sweden omit is that oh yes they don't have mandatory masks and lockdowns but they are far from doing business as usual. most of them worked 3 days per week on 6h/day schedules if not working from home for months, so the economic impact was larger than comparable neighboring countries that had lockdown Norway or Finland and they have about 10x as many dead so there is really nothing much to show for. The only reason they don't have a secondary spike yet is they didi not vacation much abroad nor did Tourists flock to Sweden.

YES! Information, data and understanding of the problem as best as possible is the enemy of all good decision making processes. Just do what feels right. STOP TESTING, noone will be diagnosed with anything if we never tested for anything. ...
I suggest we find out if the dead people ever drank in thier entire lives.
That way we can just call any problem alcohol related death.
It's done everyday in America with compleat blessing of the establishment.
Less paperwork and time for all.

Because if it's on TV or the internet it must be true, right?

What a dumbass
As if we needed another reason to rally everyone to vote for Trump, apparently the spoiled side of the British Royal family are telling us we need to "do the right thing" and vote for Biden.
Whats the quota on pompous Brits on this site?
We have to be near max with @ManUtdManiac and @Lawrence60 .

ok - please, tell me, where you do you get your information from? The Smithsonian I believe has been fully uploaded online. I learnt a lot about shooting, reloading and firearms online. I learnt how to become very proficient at archery, field dressing game and planning and executing a solo hunt in the backcountry online. Most of the content and more, of what's in the world's museums is online. All manner of music, analysis, papers, thesis across almost every conceivable topic and viewpoint is online. It may take a critical mind to determine what's useful and what's shit, but then, noone should be doing your thinking for you anyway - unless you listen to Limbaugh, Hannity or that Transgender ghoul Ingraham.
So what, pray tell Mr. Fuckstickface, do you have against information that's online?
Id disown being British on the existence of those two alone.
Harry was a pretty cool mil dude it seemed at one time but than that British habit of having their balls wither and drop occured.
Why is Dunkirk such a victory when in reality it was the British running away while the French fought a desperate rear guard for them.
Probably more Enfields dropped than MAS 36 dropped yet the French get the ridicule.
Brits all about Brit propaganda - smoke and mirrors.
PS - "Spoiled Side"?
Its a round table.
As long as you only read the official government sanctioned truth you'll be fine.
And put your mask back on.
And put your mask back on.
Quite honestly I don't have the time or inclination to dismantle your strawman argument. You're just not worth it.

Please read about surgery next and film your practical application on something non functioning like your appendix or cerebral cortex.
Sorry to disappoint but I'm actually English, been around for a while on here, but only post when I've something useful to say (hint
)Not too sure on the pompous bit, been called a few things but never that, you might have to ask those on here who know me for an honest answer though?
It's ALL TRUE!!!!!!!!!!!
Alex Berenson: Media focus on coronavirus death count designed to make virus seem more dangerous
The mainstream media continues to focus on the total coronavirus deaths, where the United States leads the way, instead of on more illuminating data like per capita and per reported cases -- but author and former New York Times reporter Alex Berenson feels it's simply the latest way to stoke fear.

You seem to be the type of Englishman that might avoid coming here to preach their superiority with a tone of smugness.
An admirable trait.
oh look, the resident alcoholic has arrived. I'll wait for you to post the 'how to' on YouTube first.
hey nigga, has anyone told you it's not 1776 anymore...?
I'll bet that comment about did it.
You can call people all kinds of names here but there is a line in the sand.
By the way what advise would we take about government from the brits anyway.

thank you, don’t believe I did when I lived in Tx for a few years, try to fit in as a guest, not criticise and enjoy the country ( and shooting

Prince Harry needs to realize this is a place of refuge from his wife and stop fighting with us.
His gash is approaching the cost Bozos paid.
You're correct, it's not 1776. We're already way past kicking the lobster backs out of our country, then doing it a second time in the 1812 war, then saving your ass 2x in the assorted World Wars. You're welcome.
And the thanks we get is the self-neutered royal family telling us how to vote?
Bugger off.
We had people hoarding toilet paper, ridiculous behaviour.
The elderly were being shoved to the floor in supermarkets, blatant cruelty to people.
Disappointing.
I love the English! Love England. The man who is tired of London is tired of life.... I stole that from some Englishman. Not that he fought back.
But since they are disarmed subjects, not armed citizens... just wondering what the argument is about here on a gun forum? The best gun with no insides? Airsoft? Webley Pellet guns that really rock? Their prowess at Bisley? Marksmanship at Isa Mbulwana? Monty and his Arnheim plan? Jaguar's that don't catch fire at random? Pedophile Princes and castrated grand-princes? The Comet? Clement Attlee? Saratoga? Meh... what's to argue? What's to make fun of? There's no failure... there's just character, kind of like Hogwarts.
Never laugh at the Brits, BTW. They will stiletto you in the back anyway.
England is a wonderful place. Like Disneyland, except people living in the island theme park continue to think of their global relevance as, well, releant. You know... like Canada!
Did you know you can get an E-ticket to England? It's called an American Express card...
Cheers,

You're taking his comment out of context on purpose, limey. He said nothing about stopping testing, etc. The mainstream media is only reporting what seems to be the worst possible view of the numbers available to advance a narrative of needing to explicitly follow exactly what the government says without question. Wrong. The actual mortality rate expressed as a percentage of those infected, deaths per 100,000 of the general population are the main numbers that matter. But, alas, the news isn't reporting that. If they did, the general public would see that of all (about) 6,950,000 positive cases so far there were about 202,000 deaths.
That amounts for a 2.9% mortality without regard for any age ranges or comorbidities.
Math is a thing.
I dont want to delve into the mortality rates of different age ranges. I'll stipulate on my whiskey that the average age for those who die of coronavirus is already higher than the average life expectancy.. take it for what you will.
Here's a plethora of numbers for you to crunch if you want cure your ignorance:
COVID-19 Provisional Counts - Weekly Updates by Select Demographic and Geographic Characteristics
Tabulated data on provisional COVID-19 deaths by age, sex, race and Hispanic origin, and comorbidities. Also includes an index of state-level and county-level mortality data available for download.

When the government actually starts to implement "restrictions" based on science, statistical data, I'll be shocked.

I thought Megan was a Loyalist who went and supported some future sub-king? Why do we care what she thinks? Can't judge England by Megan Markle. We should only judge the stupidity of the state (California) that spawned that stupid whelp... while reminding England that if they had been smart, the Queen would have sent Meghan on a Mercedes ride through a Paris Tunnel.
Isn't that how it's done? The world would have been better off. Certainly the 'Brits would have been had they stuck to their normal equine-faced fugleys like future Royal Consort Camilla. Woah, Seabiscuit!!!

It's not a title, it's half the Hide after 7pm EDT. Some, a little earlier...
I'd bash on the Brits while I was here, but I was raised to not hit women.
Well this thread went over like a
There's no reason to be so cruel to horses as to compare Camilla to one.
Brits, like Yanks, are not all the same. There's actually not nearly as many Royalists as there used to be even 20 years ago. As for Meghan, I believe she's still a US citizen so whatever she wants to say/do about the election is her right.
I am surprised at the level of animosity though towards the Brits. but then, I suppose it's the season of 'get orf mah lawn' so whatever.
Perhaps because 244 years later some of you are still trying to dictate how we do things.

So, here's the thing. I've seen lots of threads here and elsewhere, on these 'what's the important stat' and there's usually some merit in many of them. But I think, and this is perhaps wishful thinking (and If I"m wrong I'm sure my War of Independence OG PMSclaine will set me straight in a genteel manner), that the real issue is not so much that this is a deadly disease like ebola, but that IF you get it, and IF it manifests itself into serious symptoms, THEN without treatment, you will die. It's that last part, I'm hoping, is the thinking behind all else because if the concern is "we don't have enough beds and capacity to treat a lot of people if they get really sick", then the mortality rate of those infected and with serious symptoms, would increase.
I'm fairly sure I've had it, I went throug a week of serious headaches, bad congestion and shortness of breath but no aches or cough or fever. I wasn't too worried for that reason, I wasn't seriously sick. But if I got sick, and the beds were full, then that'd be a bit of a cause for a sphincter clench and a fox hole prayer of the atheist.
As to being a Limey. Well, I'm American (as of 2012) and not to brag, but I'm pretty sure I'm more fluent in the Constitution than the average born American.
I'll say this though, I'd like to see some of you chaps who think we're all a bunch of poofs to play a couple seasons of rugby.
Tally Ho!
usually id be all in laughing at the brits but considering all the crap happening in the US and the looting and rioting that's still allowed to take place Laughing at someone else's country seems really petty and small were not that far from being in the same situation here . its not like there isn't food being made .
Brit here 
Must admit this is an entertaining thread... You'll find that Brits don't mind having a bit of fun poked at us, just as long as those throwing it can take it? Glass houses and all that.
Saw Trump in the paper this morning commenting on Harry and Meghan, he pretty much nails it and it's what much of what the UK is thinking. I feel bad that you guys are having to put up with them but please don't send them back...

You take Trudeau, we send Harry and Sparkle Farkle to Montreal and we’ll take Bieber. Oh, and just for equity’s sake, you have to take Jim Carrey too.
Deal ?

No Deal!! Hopefully like the Brexit negotiations....
no deal until Canada take back Justin beber or what ever its name is we could even put jim carrie and john carry in on the deal . A trade I would love to see all those from japan waving the pro American flag waving protesters , for all our pro socialist wannabe's protesters . ocd and her squad should go as well where they go I don't care just not here that would be a good trade .
Here let me put my rye down and answer this.....
Are you over 80?
Do you already have a life threatening illness?
If not.....what do you fear?
Our own CDC stats show only 9000 people have died solely from Covid. Everyone else had a comorbidity.
Get a grip on your fear.
You likely think of yourself as the more humane and caring for your position.
I think you are fearful and selfish. You are motivated by the concern for your worthless skin.
My concerns include sympathy for the sick, the elderly and the relatively few healthy people that died from covid but I look at a larger population harmed just as grievously by our reaction.....
Business owners that have seen their lives investment ruined. Employees for those businesses out of work.
Young people that had built a savings to buy that first house or have that first child now spending it down trying to survive unemployment despite their ability and desire to work.
The guy that had a dermatologist appointment or a colonoscopy scheduled in March being told this coming November "Sorry. Had we caught it earlier we could have saved you."
The depressed walking off into the woods with rope or gun for the last time....its a fact its happening.
I care about those people too and all you care about is yourself.
You are not an American.
American Freedom is enjoyed with the understanding life has risks. You are provided great opportunity but not a security of outcome. You are expected to be responsible for yourself not nannied by the government that only rules legitimatly based on our acceptance of its policy and only within the constraints of the Constitution.
Americans dont defeat so easily.
Wife had a co-worker (IT guy) over the house last night to help set up the home office/work connection. He is naturalized American of Indian (Asian) decent. Wore his mask the entire time in our house. He is defeated. In our short conversation about covid, which his wife survived with no symptoms - but tested positive for - probably a false positive - so much for stats, he summed it up as this is the way the world will be from now on.
Are you shitting me? Total defeat. Usually a gregarious guy that I can converse with but now seemingly depressed and resigned to a dystopian covid 19 existence.
He is not American in spirit its a shame.
Immigration is good and necessary. It brings people into our country with the balls to leave home and hearth for the unknown. Something has changed though.
In the past they came from shit and only asked for a chance that their home country would not provide them. They wanted opportunity to succeed based on their willingness to work and their brains.
Now they come here either looking for a handout or they want to lecture us on how their former countries were smarter and we should be like what they left. They acknowledge our Constitution and as they express an appreciation for its blessings the always add the word "but" to their opinions.
"Freedom of speech is absolutely necessary BUT....."
"The Second Amendment is absolutely crucial BUT...."
"The 4th and 5th Amendment matter BUT....."
It is disheartening that people are unwilling to accept freedom due their fear of others abusing those same freedoms.
Why should we have any freedoms at all than if the possibility of abuse is reason to limit the freedom of those that would exercise it responsibly and lawfully?
Not impressed with the current batch of immigrants Id suggest we only take people from behind the former Iron Curtain. They seem to appreciate what the US Constitution recognizes as natural rights and its limits on the ability of government to meddle in their lives. Im guessing Cubans and Venezuelans would come up here and bleed Red, White and Blue if given the chance to.
Pompous tea totalling Brits though? Im not impressed.
