Do you have any opinion about the subject at hand? The words in the thread title? +++ I'm not given to panic and I'm not panicking now. I do admit to being overwhelmed with the way this has affected the country all the way down to how I experience my everyday life. I just don't understand everything going on, given the data we have.

I don't trust most of the mainstream press in the US. How is the average French citizen, including you, reacting to this dramatic and forced change of lifestyle? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay, yeah, a lot of people are struggling with this. The data so far shows that this thing is moving fast, and like I said, deaths are doubling every 7 - 10 days. This video will help explain. https://youtu.be/mCa0JXEwDEk?fbclid=IwAR2fGgU0QB09-QF72ffBD_800GmE_w4btUVVwWDFXlHoRlOhM7a0zdewK88 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to work on your trolling. No, it was not meant to be a joke. And to be clear, I'm not mad at anybody. It's just the last few posts from folks seem politically oriented. I am late to the thread seeing as how I am desperately trying to avoid the subject. You may have had some good thoughts early in the thread I didn't see. For that, I apologize.

Deang Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 The political posts by all involved were tongue in cheek. I think everyone here can survive a light poke in the eye every now and then. Anyways, back to the happy topic of suffering and dying. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators dtel's wife Posted March 17, 2020 Moderators Share Posted March 17, 2020 The moderators and Chad are watching this thread. Like Chad said “tread lightly”. It would be a shame to get this thread locked...and the next one on this topic. Even worse would be having to ban someone.

KlipschFish Posted March 17, 2020 Share Posted March 17, 2020 2 hours ago, CECAA850 said: LOL, I had to look it up. Trump Derangement Syndrome is a term applied by some writers to describe critics of US President Donald Trump, including liberals and progressives, whom they accuse of responding to statements and political actions by Trump in a manner verging on the irrational, without regard to his actual position or action taken. I'm sorry but I didn't have to look that up. Trump's Deranged Sycophants has alway been the definition as I see it. What is politics doing here? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm doing another project now so I'm short on time for the moment so I can't dig up the link, but I think Ben Shaperio also did a nice presentation on why all this shutdown is necessary. It had to do with regression towards the mean, and flattening the (bell) curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
