Covid-19: American Acceptionalism

Doesn’t everyone who says this gets handed a billion bucks...?

 

Everybody Dies
Ayreon
This isn't good
No this is not good at all
Mayday, mayday, mayday
You're all gonna die
Everybody dies! dies! dies! dies!
Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!
Abandon, evacuate, get out of here!
Oh no, you live like you did and you thought everything would be fine?
Now you scamper and run, but you've already run out of time
It's rotting and deteriorating from the inside
There's no way to stop it
And clearly there's nowhere to hide
Calculation of survival rate 0%
Doom, gloom, the world goes boom
None will be spared so don't assume
Not ragged clothed nor silver spooned
You're all the same when extinction looms
No food supplies, no water supplies
No powers supplies or other supplies
No compromise, just say your goodbyes
And everybody dies!
No explanation or clarification
No…
Oh no! it's not like your screaming can some who elongate your life
You best off to shut up and calm down and wait for it
The world is black, there's no way back
You're way off the track, no plan of attack
So recognize your pending demise
And everybody dies!
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!
Oh no! now holdin' your breath isn't going to bide you more time
You're best off to lay down and curl up and wait for it
The ultimate blast will be the last
And when it's passed, so terribly fast
It blinds your eyes, you're paralyzed
And everybody dies!
The soil'll be red where people have bled
The cities all dead, radiation will spread
It's no surprise, we swallowed the lies
And everybody dies
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasting out
Then ominous skies materialize
And everybody dies!
Don't give up, we are still breathing
Don't give in, that's what they want
Don't despair, just keep believing
Don't lose heart, we'll blast our way out of here
Danger!
Warning!
Mayday!
Abandon! Evacuate!
Follow me to a place beyond us
Follow me to another world
Time is short, the hour's upon us
Follow me to the stars
Oh yes! not the ideal conditions, but stable enough, you could try
The chances are slim but perhaps you could make it alive?
And in the end when all is silent
The core is melting down
A quantum supernova's blasted out
And in the end beyond the violence
No humans will be found
A quantum supernova's blasted out
Then ominous skies materiali

 

I'm still not sure of the logic, as most of the actual virus within an infected person is reproduced within their own body. The severity of infection IMO has more to do with the reactions of a persons immune system rather than if they wear a mask or not, or how much of the virus they are initially exposed to. The logic of wearing a mask to reduce the risk of an infection makes perfect sense to me, the logic of a mask being able to alter the progression of the disease once exposed doesn't. I will add that I'm no expert so can't really describe the actuality, I can only describe how my brain pieces together bits of information.

 

Viruses don't reproduce on their own; they infect a cell. I think this makes a difference in this theory. 1 bacterium can become many on its own. Each virus can infect a cell. Ergo, I imagine it goes, the more virus, the more cells that can be infected (more quickly?).

 

Ok, I'm dense. I don't get Acceptionalism. Can someone please explain the pun.

 

The severity of the reaction could be dependent on the number of viruses entering the body. So could it be the immune system cleans up without much upheaval a low portion of viruses due to the mask reducing the chance of getting into the body, while a high dose causes the hyper reaction?

 

Just don't lose focus.

 

We'll give it a shot.

 

I'm helping you not believe bullshit. Whether or not you accept my help is up to you.

 

If it ain't Bettie Serveert, it's crap.

 

So mama, don't take my Kodachrome away.....from me and Julio.

 

Have you figured it out by now?

 

This, all the livelong day.

The level of concern for Trump's economy is higher than the level of concern for the lives of the people who'll be forced to prop it up. Live to rebuild once he's out of office and the virus is defeated, sometime down the road.

Callous and stupid are the words we two can shaaaaaare...

 

...and Emily, if somebody can track her down...

 

We are exceptional in how readily we are seeming to accept this carnage.

 

I have a new addition to my list of news sites.

 

You’re just gonna hafta accept that our current infection rates are over 20 times countries we’d like to consider peers...just like you’re gonna need to accept that schoolchildren will be massacred every so often. It’s the price of our freedoms and what makes America so gosh darn exceptional.

 

I only accept this if we move to a 13 month calendar.

 

The early favorite for the next COVID-19 thread!
