You are going to die eventually. Stop worrying about little stuff.

Exactly. YOLO (at least on this earth).

Jumping off a cliff…

Paragliding under heavy clouds at the updraft side of a supercell thunderstorm is better. You can be carried up 30,000 feet if you catch it.

Sounds fun to me.

30k feet could be problematic for a few reasons.

Have to take your own O2 wouldn’t you…

Have to take your own O2 wouldn’t you…

Definitely. Not being able to breath is #1. The severe cold is #2.

Yep, thick longjohns won’t cut it…
I don’t like temperatures with a big minus in front.

‘Health care system is really hurting,’ but Florida isn’t under a COVID-19 state of emergency

Gov. Ron DeSantis declined to reinstate Florida’s emergency declaration, even as the number of people needing to be hospitalized for the virus exceeded previous peaks, and he’s also curtailed the ability of local leaders to craft their own responses.

WAPO? Really?

 

[Pierce Manhammer]

Yeah it's "just like a cold":

The 1,017 coronavirus deaths reported on Tuesday equate to roughly 42 fatalities an hour, according to a Reuters tally of state data.

A Florida county does not equal Florida.

 

[BriBri]

A Florida county does not equal Florida.

Exactly! Florida has 67 counties, most of which are similar geographical size. While south Florida and the Orlando and Tampa areas have larger populations, you are spot on that no one county speaks for the entire state.

I think it just shows more that we are in a Read Headline, React culture, as exampled by Pierce. Which shows that the bar for critical thinking has fallen drammatically. People don't sit and go "Hm...why is this company that has underwent so many lawsuits suddenly in the headline has having safe vaccines?" Or "Hospitals are known for turning people away that don't have insurance. Why now are they suddenly benevolent saints?" Or "5000 people out of a million is still pretty small. Sounds similar to the flu."

I'm pretty sure even CNN was shvtting on hospitals before 2020 when they were making reports of how bad healthcare was or how hospitals were refusing to accept uninsured ER recipients.

[Pierce Manhammer]

More misinformation about what's happening in Florida, I mean everyone knows that a cabal of baby eating Dragonoid aliens that kidnap chodlren by offering them pizzas have used their devil-worshipping Hollywood connections to stage these actors faking being affected by the fake Covid virus that was engineered by the evil Chinese in a bio-weapons lab owend by Bill Gates, right? Sheesh and here the MSM thought it fewld us!
