I thought since we were talking about the coronavirus and we were looking at places where crowds meet with outside communities making the ability to spread it much farther than normal? What did religion have to do with the virus?


Nothing other than it is what brings the two million plus to the Hajj,

I was speaking about the importance of the event to a group of people and the potential disruption of the event of some folk's lifetime,

I did plan a trip to Disney World today. Headed there in April.

During the week of 15-21 Feb 2020, I do not remember hearing the democrats talking or being concerned about coronavirus. All I remember them talking about is Russia/Russia/Russia and President Trump/AG Bass/Roger Stone.

Now comes the week of 22-28 Feb 2020 and the democrats are going bonkers about coronavirus. President Trump is unprepared, the administration is unprepared, President Trump took all the money from the CDC/NIH/etc etc etc. and that emergency funding is needed to combat the virus.

Well, where is the appropriations bill for funding the coronavirus emergency from the democrat controlled House??? I haven’t found any. Why didn’t they pass one last week? Why didn’t the House work last week Friday or Saturday and pass one if it was such an emergency.

Hmmmmmm, is it just like usual that the democrats are all talk and no action???

Here is what passes for "science" in the modern world.



Other than finding out some review processes have become crap, that crap also gets sorted out when no one can actually reproduce the results claimed. Besides that, when a claim becomes public that is really concerning because of importance, it will get all the attention it needs for dismissing or confirming.

No one is going to die, if 10,000 dogs aren't studied soon to confirm some rape culture theory.

You are missing the point. The lefty feminists lapped it up as "science." Showing how these people will believe anything. As do those who fall in with them.

Not a huge Stossel fan (he deserved getting slapped down by Dr. D) but he has done some really good work exposing nonsense.

Dr. D really got hung out to dry on that one. I heard he went to Japan and did the same thing but as a planned work, which did not help his case over here.

I'll take the no if you want? Your $25 against my $20?

I think unless the virus is declared fully contained at least two months before they will decide to cancel. I'd be happy to pay my $20 to be wrong.....


Bet accepted! I sent a PM to confirm.

Which gender is Caster Semenya?



XX or XY. Only two choices.


I assume you know AZD but people with XXY and XYY genes also exist.


Male or female. Only two genders. As binary as 0 and 1.
So there are no non-surgical hermaphrodites then?

NOTE: Corona beer is reported to be still dealing with a public relations problem.


What kind of problem? That people are finding out it is just a very average beer at best?

Got a case of the Coronavirus right here in my county.
Scary
The person traveled to Italy
Whats really concerning me is how this is all affecting business travel
Just about all companies are banning travel unless its essential
Just doing a lot of cancelling today.
