Misinformation is an obstacle, indeed. But one thing that people don't seem to be saying is that, for a while, at least, a "COVID death" was often recorded whenever a dead person tested positive for COVID -- regardless of how they died, whether it was a car crash or an overdose. That's why the...

Perhaps "tyranny" was the wrong word. However, enforcing a policy of wearing four masks at once is not okay. Take what you said: Four masks. That's four times as many masks being purchased. Four times as much money. And with so many being bought, they'll become scarcer and scarcer, and their...

It can be. It definitely can be. It may or may not be the case here, but where there can be corruption, there can be tyranny. It's one of my bigger fears -- that I'm going into a field that will degrade farther and farther until we've lost sight of the original purpose of medicine: Helping people.

Yeah, I'm not wearing four masks at once. I'm sticking with one. I like being able to breathe at least somewhat normally. The most I'll do is wear a mask under my plague doctor mask. Two masks, one of which is cloth-covered cardboard. Nothing more.

Oh, gosh, that's terrifying!

Didn't intend for it to be, sorry. I'll drop it now.

I can be very blunt (assuming that you were talking about my post). Very blunt. 🤣

They do. It gets quite annoying. I think that people should do research before protesting -- look at several viewpoints from several different sources. Look for facts. Maybe that would reduce the amount of pointless protests.

Really? You must be very well-tempered. I've been having that feeling a lot lately. (Partially because I, too, have realized that I'm being prevented from doing things that I also choose to do).

That would be so cute! Not that I'd do it, but still.

Something "affects" something else by having an "effect" on it. Does that help? (I have the same issue with "lay" and "lie").

(Quick correction for later on -- "affects" :)).

An equation that I understand! (This was interesting -- thanks for linking it).

Oh, yeet, the student loan average makes me so very sad/disappointed... that's so much, and it would take ages to pay off....

Whoaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah so many numbers! 😵 (I'll make sense of it... eventually... finance isn't my thing, ahh!) (This is interesting, though).

Amen, Mark.

I don't understand, I'm afraid. Drop the subject?

What do you mean? I'm late, but I don't understand what happened -- could somebody explain, please? In a PM, even, if you don't want to bring it back up again where people could get offended.

... No, no it doesn't. They've all been exposed....

Maybe they are. However, they can't afford to give every small business the thousands of dollars required to stay afloat for long periods of time. These restrictions have been going on for months. The larger businesses get enough income regularly because they have customers constantly. Small...
