Have to share this my covid chicken gave me a special surprise.

Spoiler: wow

That's been known for a long time. Not hard for any fool to look at the data.
But yeah it will be ignored and there will be no apologies.

That is what makes me so angry. No one saying we were wrong.
They wonder why we don’t believe them anymore.

I am so sorry things are this way. As others have stated it is not your job to control him. When you start manipulating he will never learn how to control himself. You keep him from the news you guide him to different things. What happens when you can't do this and he is completely unable to control hisself? I have been down this road. I do not want to over step and say more then what you want to hear so I will just ask you what really do you want? You will never change him, he has to do that.

I dont want to change him. All I want is for him to not be so angry like he's been. I love him for who he is and his anger as of late isnt like him. I know its stress related but I dont know how to approach the subject. I just want him to be happy

Economists pretend to be epidemiologists

These Economists are know-nothings who jump on stage and pretend to be Epidemiologists while being incredibly ignorant of that field. This is what needs to happen to the Economists who have such big egos that they think they're Epidemiologists.

The world would be a better place if we churned out 1/4 of the Economics majors we do.

Well since the epidemiologists have been wrong about everything, someone with common sense has to take over.

You can't 'change' him, but as y'all grow, it doesn't hurt to 'temper' him in the right direction.
Someone told me long ago "A woman gets man and tries to change him. A man gets a woman and wants her to stay the same."
Needless to say, it never works that way.

There is something you do not like and you would like it to change.
Changing anger issues is chaanging the person.... hoping for the better.
so,You have to talk with him. Show him your concern,tell him how you feel. He isn't able to conduct himself the way he should it sounds. This is what you are wanting to change. You don't know if counciling is off the table if you do not talk about the issue. I hope it all works out for you and if you wnt to talk more we can pm if you want to contact me.

Economists probably have the least common sense of any profession !

The messages from epidemiologists have been pretty clear. I respect that field of endeavor, which uses science to save lives. However, I'm a lot more interested in insects and parasites than in viruses..

The messages from government have been contradictory, erroneous, and often inaccurate. Economists have way too much influence in government. Scientists don't have enough influence.

An economist trying to run the show on COVID is like me trying to run the Super Bowl. I know next to nothing about pro football. The result would be chaos and a lot of very angry people who paid lots for their tickets.

Yes, everyone is tired of the doggone pandemic. However, politicians and economists wishing it away isn't going to make it disappear.

Quickie about bugs and parasites. Back in 2014, as Nicolás Maduro entrenched his control over Venezuela, he ordered the local public health people to stop reporting malaria cases. I'll bet some economists there supported this, to make things look better and because they supported Maduro.

Stopping reporting of the malaria cases didn't make the malaria go away....

Ways to deal with malaria-infected mosquitoes that come into a house and bite may not be liked by everyone. Sleeping under a bed net can be hot and uncomfortable, especially in a tropical climate. Spraying houses is expensive, involves insecticides, and can be annoying to the residents who have to take their dishes and food out of the house and cover the furniture. But, these measures save lives.

From a males point of view right when he gets home from work is not the time to be all up in his face. I get home about 2.5hrs before my wife and it gives me time to decompress before she hits the door and all up in my face about everything that happened at work. Another thing is women love to tell thier husbands how they feel but how are husbands? "I'm fine" when that's total bullshit. Men (at least used to be) were brought up to be the alpha, the strong one the one not to show feelings because that is a show of weakness. In my mind from the time I get home till the time I go to work tomorrow my head is crazy all over the place with work, with how I feel mentally and physically (mostly work) what I have to get done now or on the weekend how is my daughter how is her personal life how is her school and work life all this is a shitstorm in my head but what does my wife see? The calm collected husband listening to every word of how her day went while I sip a cup of coffee in the evening. Is what I'm getting at is men are programmed like that and it is how it is. If I were you I would leave him alone when he gets home. Give him an hour or 2 he'll slowly release some. Don't ask what he wants for dinner just cook something and offer if he eats cool if he don't he ain't gonna starve. I don't know about all men but what I like the most is when I do talk my wife LISTENS to what I'm saying and respond to what I said. Dont be thinking about what you want to say while hes saying something to you.my wife and I are opposites she will cluck about everything to anyone I on the other hand keep everything in. We get along great because she knows to leave me alone sometimes if I'm quiet and she knows it's not her it this whirlwind of life in my head. And on the flip side when she gets home I usually start listening about 20 mins after she gets home cause thats about when she gets out all that happened during her day at work. She told me long ago that when she's got problems I'm not there to try to fix everything just hear what she has to say

You sound exactly like my hubby lol. Maybe it was me coming home and complaining about work yesterday that set him off? I only work twice a week and I guess me complaining about being super busy at work was insensitive to him when he has to work 40 hours a week. I'm gonna try to listen more and hopefully he gets his frustrations out.
