I've been on a bunch of those, way overrated. The view going through the Suez is nice though. Full moons on the ocean are spectacular if you can get past the cruise missile launches.

You .....”your chances of dying with it are .07%” Does the above statement not assume you have the virus then? And yet you use total population Was there something wrong with total cases against recovered vs dead?? Those are the odds if you get it, not .07% |

The odds right now of dying from COVID in the U.S. is 0.08%. Period. Math is hard. |

And your math assumes number of deaths stops.....as of now. That’d be wrong too

PROLONGING LIVES would be more accurate. But we all do risky things every damn day; every time you get in a car, on a plane, play a sport, swim in the ocean, engage in just about any activity, drink alcohol, use recreational drugs, even having sex, you are taking some level of risk. But we take reasonable steps/precautions/actions to mitigate risks, such as wearing seatbelts, protective gear when we play sports, wearing condoms, etc. This seems to be the first time in history I am aware of that we just disregarded the whole "reasonable" aspect and are doing literally everything and anything we can think of to mitigate the risks, no matter how illogical it may be, or how ineffective it may be and without considering or giving due merit to the consequences of those measures. And in addition to the infinitely fearful and ridiculously risk averse that are in favor of all of that (mostly due to misinformation spewed by the mainstream media), there are people profiting from the situation both financially and politically, which leads critical thinkers to question everything. Yet when anyone raises questions, they are silenced or labelled as a 'conspiracy theorist'. If this whole thing doesn't scare you just a little bit, you're either one of the people profiting from it, or one of the people being spoon-fed a pile of lies in order to control you and believing them. Yours Truly, Mildly scared critical thinker FLEX |

Well said. In my profession we've had a concept about evaluating measures to reduce radiation exposure to "save lives" that's been in use for decades; ALARA, or As Low As Reasonably Achievable. ALARA evaluates how reasonable something is based on cost, benefit, etc. Over the past couple of years I've seen a trend towards ALAP, or As Low As Possible, where reasonable has nothing to do with it. So, if we spend a billion dollars to "save" one life, it's not ALARA but under ALAP we'd spend that money - which could be much better spend elsewhere to save a lot more lives. We can't get rid of all risk, nor should we try to. |
