I'm not even sure what you're arguing now. The world locked down as much as possible in March and April, and COVID still returned. My initial point was just not to get caught up in hysteria and hyperbole, and you responded with more hysteria and hyperbole...

And there are tend of millions of COVID survivors. My point still stands that Ebola mortality is around 50% whereas COVID is a few percent, if that, so saying "What part of death don't you understand" is needless hyperbole. Bottom line is the choice isn't as simple as saving lives vs. not saving lives - putting millions of people out of work and isolating them socially has a human cost too. As for your "leader of the free world" bit, look at deaths per capita rather than the total numbers - the U.K., Belgium, Italy, and several other European countries are worse off.

No need for that kind of language here or the hyperbole... COVID isn't a death sentence like Ebola, particularly for the young and healthy.

Yep, this is looking like the Dot Com bubble all over again. Uber generated a bunch of hype and is cashing out before the burst.

Bit of a clickbait headline... The implication is that he was arrested just for refusing to wear a mask, whereas previously passengers have only been kicked off the flight for that. In reality, he was arrested for refusing to leave once ordered off the flight (trespassing).

My reply was to Thomas Raveney saying that Robert Cowling's comment did not have any reference to Trump.

I thought we just needed to slow the infection rate so that hospitals wouldn't be overwhelmed with critical patients? When did the goal suddenly become stopping all infections? That isn't really possible while maintaining any semblance of modern society.

This isn't about the first A350 for Delta, just the first delivery since the hiatus due to the pandemic.

Hard to take anyone who resorts to childish name-calling seriously...
