    Good luck holding the whole world accountable, Q. Literally none of the governments of any civilized country agree with your steaming hot garbage takes on Covid. There are only a small marginalized group of idiots that think like you do.

    The number for the US is currently at 1.146 million dead. Obviously since you got that wrong, none of the rest of what you have posted is valid?

    Oh I know what to expect. I guess the question would’ve better presented to his fan club that tags every illogical, incomprehensible, and impossible to satisfy posts with likes and agrees. How would they solve the gross contradiction?

    If someone gets sick you just shut down the country for a few days and then reopen. Easy peasy

    Another question for Q, you’ve said that business is booming and you’re on this noble message board crusade to be the voice of the less fortunate. How many laptops have you donated to the less privileged children that were victimized by the pandemic? Just wondering…

    Do you really need me to post the RCT's showing masks don't work again? I can if you weren't able to understand it the first 3 times I posted it. I can spell it out for you if you'd like. It's easy. Here is all you need to know: Masks don't work. Next...

    The small marginalized group is your now. But I digress…

    Not a soul has died of a fictitious pathogen. 2020ff has seen a massive reclassification of deaths. As of summer 2020, the CDC had attributed 25 hanging deaths to Covid.

    Same basic approach we took in Florida. Though I would have allowed family to be with family if they wanted to. Locking people in assisted living facilities when we knew being outside was safe is the definition or cruel and evil.

    I think the memes and disagree bacons and come on mans and “I blocked his ass” are the strongest arguments.

    The models are wrong? Any evidence that backs up that claim? Probably not.

    On the other hand, the University of Maryland computer analysis estimates the vaccine saved 18 million hospital visits and 3.2 million lives. This supports the original computer models of 3 to 4 million dead had we done nothing. Though quandary. Whom am I to believe? Scientific study done by doctors and data scientists from U of Maryland? Or some random internet poster that works at a dentist office?

    And still nothing on how to actually implement a Great Barrington plan. Which in the US, would be impossible. Over 170 million of us have at least one risk factor. That includes a large percentage of adults under 65 as well. How do we keep schools open, and protect the vulnerable, if 33% of the teachers are in a high risk category? What if the number in some schools is closer to 50%?

    Oh, and let's remember what the Brits called their attempt at following Barrington. "Greatest public health failure in history!"

    I believe those all came well after many failed attempts at reasonable conversations.

    The irony here is that both sides are arguing over a fictitious pathogen. One side argues it was so bad we had to burn down everything so as to deprive it of oxygen. The other side argues that we now need to go to war with China.

    So cute.

    It really shows what an @$$ some of you are when you attempt to demean someone you disagree with like this. Personally I could care less that you are an arrogant jerk by trying to demean me.

    That said…our employees that work the front desk at our office are vital to the success of our Practice. Their job is important and meaningful. It is unfortunate you view others and their profession in an ignorant flippant way like you do.

    Do better as a person!
