That's a false dichotomy. #1, as @Montoya pointed out, we are much better at treating COVID than we were last year, and so deaths are not a good measure of the impact of the virus. (And, you can't believe what is on the death certificate anyway...I've said that all along, here is a recent...

The whole GPU market is mess, for several reasons...first it was because Nvidia was basically a monopoly that controlled the market, then cryptomining became huge, and then the pandemic. Based on a price/performance ratio, the vanilla 3080 is hands-down the best card, if you can get one...

OMG, Dr. Fauci has consistently been the one voice of reason. I'm not going to say the CDC hasn't had some huge mis-steps. But overall, as a scientist and as a spokesperson for his department, he has consistently been the voice of reason.

So, my rational thought process was: a. There is a highly contagious disease "in the wild"; b. based on previous experience, most cases of the disease get reported 2-3 weeks after the person was first infected; c. July 4th (big holiday in the US) + 3 weeks = July 25th so hey, let's see what...

I thought the C2 was a light fighter, M2 was medium, and A2 was the heavy fighter, lol

Woo-hoo, go Arkansas!

The answer is, by way of metaphor, is "a rising tide lifts all boats." If we can get everybody on board with getting vaccinated, we an end the mutations that keep cropping up that keep making this virus more virulant and contagious. The mutations definitely impact the vaccinated. If we could get...

Alas...I had to go away right before the launch to walk my dog. You might say that "Doo-ty Called" ha ha

And here is the live feed for the Bezos Blue Origin...liftoff in 14 min! View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ERLTF1xV-dY

LOL, so the Bezos space ship is scheduled for launch, but guess what? One of the people who purchased a ticket (for USD 29.7 million, as in, $29,700,000) can't make the flight due to a "scheduling conflict." Which begs the question, what kind of a conflict do you need to have that is more...

Give the Health Secretary a break, he just came down with COVID What were you saying? Oh, yeah: (edited because the "Quote" feature wouldn't insert the PNG of the meme)

I used to scoff at BloJo's idea of GB meaning "Global" Britain, but maybe this is what he had in mind? https://www.theguardian.com/world/2021/jul/16/englands-covid-unlocking-a-threat-to-the-world-experts-say

Exactly...in the long run, this doesn't really matter...this has as much to do with "Space Exploration" as Craigslist classified ad writing has to do with great literature..

That's what Neil DeGrasse Tyson (all hail!) said!
