Remember the conspiracy theories about COVID internment camps?

A 1 to 1.5 percent mortality rate is fairly low.

Great- so if 5 million people died that would still be a pretty small mortality rate. When would you think this is a big deal…when 20 million people died?

He didn’t say that number wasn’t a big deal. He said it wasn’t a large risk individually.

This I wholeheartedly agree with.

So would you like us to do it too?

Too late for the 700,000 dead in the US.

Large chunk of that are people who didn’t have much time left, covid or no covid. Take my mother for example, she is in very poor health, a bad cold could take her out at this point. Does it matter that much if its covid instead?

I think if he is scared he should hide n his basement.

If you are afraid I would suggest you get vaccinated.

Getting a booster on Friday. My best friend was vaccinated in the Spring and just had a breakthrough case that left him deeply sick for two weeks. His girlfriend had just got a booster and never got it.

We all should be afraid. Anything that tortures 3/4 of a million people to death is worth being afraid of.

Ten times that globally.

[zantax]

None of that is applicable to personal risk.

I don’t deal in what if’s generally. It is sad that anyone has died but there’s no way to save everybody.

Living in fear avails nothing. Life is too short to live it in fear about everything.

Is that what you tell people who carry firearms everywhere they go?

Can you imagine them doing this with, I dunno, HIV?

[Rurudyne]

Hopefully soon the criminal element will again be in fear of what their potential victims might do to them … then riots and looting will be suppressed.

The people of Coffeyville, Kansas had the right idea when dealing with criminal gangs.

Doesn’t sound voluntary to me.

True. But still not definitive.

Ordered is not definitive?

Not really. Made an order for transfer.

It doesn’t say “made”.

I understand that, hence no quotes. Just pointing out a possible interpretation.

Of a different sentence? Is that honest?

Nobody tells me anything.

Why would somebody with a gun be afraid?

What? I’m talking about the quote below and specifically the use of “ordered”.

@zantax

The government of Australia’s Northern Territory has ordered the transfer of 38 Australians from a remote Aboriginal town to a quarantine facility.

Order, the verb, has multiple meanings. The first is as you say, an authoritative directive. Another definition is a request…

request (something) to be made, supplied, or served.
“my friend ordered the tickets last week”

[zantax]

Any way you care to parse it, they are prohibited from leaving.

[WuWei]

Is that honest?

[Borgia_dude]

@WuWei

Is that honest?

Someone said there was not certainty in it being mandatory which you disagreed. I am just attempting to show, via the specific language, that it is not certain based on definitions of words. That’s all I am saying.

No. In today’s world it’s the people that are scared that want you to hide in your basement. And they’re trying hard to get the government to force you to do so.
