Except this one has an internationally designated name: COVID-19. Or the novel coronavirus if you want to sound fancy.

But you already knew that. The thing about dog whistles is that they're easy to deny.

The source of the virus is irrelevant to this discussion.

What is relevent:

Yep. And what respect is shown by using the phrase "dog-whistle" when I use a colloquialism instead of an "internationally designated name"?

Really? We risk the loss of "a significant portion" of our membership from a virus that is over 99% survivable?

Please read my statement a little more clearly sir.

Sorry. So how does cutting our membership in half help us?

Quote from: Capt Thompson on January 03, 2022, 04:05:49 PMso these numbers completely support the statement that many hospitals were overwhelmed by COVID patients.
How?

If hospitals are denying non-emergent patients, and cancelling elective surgeries to make room for an overflow of COVID patients, most of which spend a lot more time in the hospital than an average non-emergent patient or elective surgery, discharges would trend down.

Seriously?

German Measles

Spanish Flu

Hong Kong Flu

Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS)

So "China Virus" is closer to what COVID should be traditionally named... regardless how "offended" Xi Jinping claims to be. Just saying.

Never said it did, if it helped, it wouldn't be a rock and a hard place scenario would it? I also didn't say we would intentionally cut anyone, I said we would lose a significant portion if we couldn't open up like everyone else.

And we're done. JohnnyD (and others) couldn't keep it respectful and factual, so like so many other worthwhile conversations on CAPTalk that get taken over by personal attacks, it's getting locked.

If you can't show each other respect and command decency, please show yourselves to the door.
