"She Made Her Decision Before You Finished Your Sentence"

Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.

She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.

Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.

So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.

The words come later. The impression comes first.

Know a few people who got it had minor symptoms for a few days, no long haul or nothing. They are perfectly healthy. No one in my community caught it. One of the people who got it said the flu is worse and they had a mild fever that's it
I would say 3 out 10 people get long haul cover.. In the UK the figure is around 80.000 people
 

"I just moved here from Florida."

That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?

She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."

She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.

I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.

Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.

I personally think the strain of covid19 going around in March and April was deadlier

Possibly. Though keep in mind mask mandates started emerging in April. That likely had a huge effect on the severity of infections going forward.
How did NY manage to hv currently only 63k active cases and Florida 460k?

Don't you guys hv a health department or centralised ministry to control this thing? The disparity is just too large.

NY, NJ, and CT were part of the “first wave” so had the harshest containment measures. As of now the three states have the lowest covid positivity rate in the country and have for months.

Florida’s covid strategy was to ignore it, blame the pandemic on NY, have no statewide mask mandate, and force business to reopen. It’s not surprise they’ve done terrible with COVID-19.

The Federal covid strategy has been to just ignore it, blame blue state governors, sell hydroxychloroquine, brag about a potential vaccine, and now go for herd “mentality.”

Is anyone surprised at how this played out?
 

"Nervous Around Beautiful Women? There's a Rule for That"

I could talk to any woman I wasn't attracted to. Charming, funny, relaxed. Then a gorgeous woman looked my way and I'd become a sweating, babbling mess.

The fix took me years to find and ten minutes to learn. Nervousness and excitement are the same physical state — pounding heart, adrenaline, flushed face. Your brain just picks the label. And you can pick a better one.

Rule 16 shows you how. You feel the nerves, relabel them as excitement, and let that energy pour out as enthusiasm. Women notice the guy radiating it. They always do.

Ny sent positive Covid-19 patients to nursing homes, inflating the numbers with a vulnerable population

Lol. No. In some states they can advise the governor to issue enforceable executive orders.
That's ridiculous, public health should be left to health experts, a panel of recognised experts in their field and not politicians whom by and large just experts at making empty promises.
