D&D and the rising pandemic

Slovania, Sparewenia, perhaps I mixed a name up.

Perhaps you should do a quick check and figure out what country- if any- you mean.

(Given that the COVID figures you cited- “81,349 cases and 1,592 deaths”- matched up pretty much perfectly with Slovenia, I’m not too inclined to think you made an error of identifying the country, but rather, believe you have either mistakenly or intentionally misrepresented their actual reactions.)

And I bet all you'll hear on January 21st is that Americans are all doing what they're supposed to do, always staying six feet apart, and wearing masks.
I've said it a million times, there is no "properly performed." It does not help, and even if it does, it is not worth it, I am tired of walking in this circle.

I looked up the cases to see if I was right, but like I said I might have mixed up the country. Just goes to say, neither my mysterious countries (it's virtually the same way in Scandinavia) or Slovenia are doing bad.

I thought I was finished arguing...
Whatever. To hell with your reputable sources.

And there it is!

0.

RNZ the source is kinda like the BBC.

Some people miss lockdown. Whole country was more or less on same page, more time with family.

Yay! Glad we've all come to an agreement. Bye-bye! See you when the masks are down and the smiles are up!

I live in Texas. There is no way in hell Americans will all fall in line because Biden asked nicely. So the first sentence there is a fantasy.

The second is a denial of reality- a task improperly performed cannot be used as an an indicator that the task is ineffective, regardless of its results. That’s bad science; that’s bad logic, no matter how many times you say it.

Your coda hearkens back to the hoary old doctor joke, “My arm hurts when I do this.” gestures “Then you should stop doing that.”

No agreement. Just disappointment.

Americans don't really fall in line unless battleships blow up in Hawaii or planes crash in NYC.

Europe's disappointed me more, different expectations.

Compared to the USA? Nope, but then, who is?

But by their own metrics, they’re concerned enough that they’re enacting the very kinds of measures you claimed they weren’t. IOW, they think they’re doing badly enough that emergency measures are required.
