If you get it deep in your lungs and sit on it for a few days longer than you should you can be Bruce Lee but you'll still die of it.

LOL

maxk: We all have preexisting conditions in terms of Genetic variability. Simply, we need to get more evidence.

[maxidi] 09/6/2020 12:29

Where it says no pre-existant condition means they are not undergoing treatment but lots of them will have hidden problems.

M2: "The question of your faith will be asked in the last few days of your life. I'm betting the fear of the atheist will haste conversion."

Done that trip a few times, even had a Priest give me the "last rights" on one occasion. Seeking Religion seems to be a natural function in most cultures in the hope of reduction of uncertainties. However the plethora of forms of belief would indicate that no culture has anything approaching a system believable by all.

I don't see what the point is whether you have a pre-existing condition or not. Does it really make any difference apart from making those who think they are fit warm and comfier? Listen, this disease may kill you if you get it and it spreads VERY easily - that is all there is to it.

Statistics don't save you, you do.

First posted by mad dog on the JTC thread.

Can anyone make sense of these figs as opposed to the headline news horror stories?

mm2: Time and development have produced many languages, religious belief systems and cultures . . however all are human. It is in the interest of rulers to blur these facts. You can't have the troops identifying with the 'enemy' on the battlefield.

[bbalanjones] 09/6/2020 11:02

5xy: trouble is . . . .some may think that 'others' are already amongst us.

[mikemichael2] 09/6/2020 11:00

Maybe, fat lot of good that will do for me and my familly.

mm2: History and Archeology are persuasive in the view that in the course of time, all religions fail......

maxidi: Nothing wrong with atheism or any other world view that dose not promote violence. What is lacking is a large dollop of tolerance. (Plus perhaps a humane method of reaching 'agreement'.)

Alp: But this is a 'wormhole' leading to better understanding!

Since the financial crisis of 2008 - 2009 every man and his dog knows Central banks are not Independent...and even more so now with the power of the big hand of Trump era...Nas hit all time highs again yesterday...a handful of Fang tech stocks is all they need to pump and the rest follow in the their coat tails...just 5 tech stocks have a combined total market cap of over $6 trillion dollars...probably near the entire FTSE100...






Are Central Banks independent? Central Banks, Covid 19 and the era of President Trump and the German Constitutional Court

By JOHNREDWOOD | Published: JUNE 9, 2020

Yesterday, I delivered a talk about the independence of central banks. I am reproducing the slides from my lecture below:

Four assertions to test

Central Banks are not independent, and never have been. They are the agents of the state or regional grouping they serveEuro area government bonds are not sovereign bonds as the governments which issue them cannot create money to repay themThe Karlsruhe judgement underlines the lack of a transfer union in the Euro area to ensure smooth running of the currency and banking systemNational Central Banks are now working closely with national governments to try to offset the huge economic damage done by the anti virus lock down and social distancing policies

Joy Division Still: Well said, however you will likely still attract some similar comment! Let free speech rule without acrimony. Positions be debated with reason.

Newbank, you have the right to be offended, but don't expect anyone else to stop thinking and talking how they want. And please, don't bring your invisible mate into the real world and "ask" normal people to respect him/she/ it's just a made up story for humans 2,000 years ago.
