This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

The RPGPundit's Own Forum Rules
This part of the site is controlled by the RPGPundit. This is where he discusses topics that he finds interesting. You may post here, but understand that there are limits. The RPGPundit can shut down any thread, topic of discussion, or user in a thread at his pleasure. This part of the site is essentially his house, so keep that in mind. Note that this is the only part of the site where political discussion is permitted, but is regulated by the RPGPundit.

Covid, the "lockdowns" etc.

Hmm, yes? Recapping the past 2 years comes down to two words. Covid, Lockdowns.

Governments bought the press right at the start, who only report what they want them to. There is no political "opposition", because they were all bought, too. The judiciary are corrupt as fuck, and in on it. Wake the fuck up.

Wow! I find it impressive how you guys go on and on solely based in myths and rumors. If any of that were true, three things.

1. World intervention
2. There would be videos and footage of such
3. Everyone would be talking about Australia

Why would the corporate media report on this? It goes against their narrative and desired result. See the reports of white men getting shot by police in the USA, or the anti-semitism ranpant between their black population, and lets not forget the "Asian" hatred the same population shows.

Where are the articles?

Who is really talking about the kungflu being made in a lab in Wuhan?

Radio silence because it might hurt their masters in the CCP.

Therefore everyone has a mild case, because you did.

Fatties, oldies and people with broken immune systems, don't, no.

Healthy people, nothing to concern themselves about.


How many healthy people, of appropriate weight and age and immune system, would need to be in the hospital, ICU, or die, for you to believe there is actual risk to people outside those categories?

CDC Data: ~70% of Covid Deaths in 1 Year Were in People With 6 Comorbid Medical Conditions! 97% Had 2 or More!
https://newsrescue.com/cdc-data-70-of-covid-deaths-in-1-year-were-in-people-with-6-comorbid-medical-conditions-97-had-2-or-more/

As a headline ending with a bang makes me a bit skeptical, here's the link to the CDC paper that the article claims to quote; read it for yourself.
https://www.cdc.gov/pcd/issues/2021/pdf/21_0123.pdf

I think a better metric is relative risk of dying from covid vs the other risks of dying for your age and health. For example, more children 0-14 died of drowning (645) or homicide (893) in 2019
https://www.worldlifeexpectancy.com/usa-cause-of-death-by-age-and-gender (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention: Final Deaths 2019 Release Date 12/22/20.)

than children 0-17 from covid (621)
https://www.statista.com/statistics/1191568/reported-deaths-from-covid-by-age-us/

What I would really like would be for the data to be broken down by age and # of comorbitities. It would also be interesting to see how # of comorbidities correlates with age. That could then be compared to other risks of dying.

But if they released THAT data then how would they scare most of the population into demanding their rights and freedoms be taken away?

It comes down to having to serve a 14-day mandatory quarantine stage. The ones who got locked up were people who chose to break quarantine. I don't see the huge deal here, especially if you're even allowed to quarantine at home.

You never see a huge deal, because you're a fucking moron who can't see further than his own nose.

So he stoped claiming it was "Voluntary" and now is arguing for the fascistic concentration camps?

So it wasn't just denial, but he honestly doesn't see anything wrong with locking people up against their will for a not really that dangerous virus...

I'm confused as to why pictures of chicks in bikinis makes the quarantinen camps somehow ok? I've seen a fair bit of it on twitter. Like, are these Covid Cathouses where you get to meet Hot Covid Babes and fuck them?

I bet a whole lot more of men will be willing to quarantine now. Till the whole thing turns into one giant sausage party, then it won't be fun anymore. Nothing for nothing, both new cases and deaths are down significantly. If other things were happening in there I'm sure we would be hearing about it, real quick.
