I used to buy gluten by the lb. Add a T or two for each loaf. I don't make bread much anymore so just freshly ground hard red wheat, freshly ground oats, and store bought bread flour.

I did not arrive at my understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe through my rational mind.

According to new estimates published today, between 291,000 and 646,000 people worldwide die from seasonal influenza-related respiratory illnesses each year,

@freemo @stevenroose
Last number I saw for seasonal flu was ~640,000 per year worldwide.

@freemo @stevenroose

And yet, there are more deaths than that every year due to seasonal flu. Why is that not a big deal?

1) Fear of COVID exists only because it's been intentionally created.
2) Flu vaccines are ineffective.

Apparently your definition of "debunked" is different than mine, but you may recall I've already conceded.

Beat the dead horse if you wish.

@freemo
You initially said:
"...his actual response to covid has been exemplary..."

Then down the road you say, "The point wasnt to prove trump was handling the situation well. "

If the point was first to say he's exemplary, then the point wasn't to prove Trump is handling it well, then I'm just completly lost in this thread. To me they both mean the same thing.

@stevenroose @freemo

So then we just have to know the criteria for testing. The propaganda last night showed a drive-through testing site opened in NJ which had lines of cars down the highway.
Clearly in the US, self-selection of people healthy enough to drive is a factor not present in the NL.

@snow
Well, yes, that's what politicians do.

@snow
Not sure which thing Trump did you're referring to.

@freemo
Ok, I give up. That proves that Trump is handling the situation well.

@freemo
I have no idea how many tests Netherlands have conducted.

@freemo
The numbers change every minute. Your data is outdated. As is mine. If only 100,000 tests have been conducted, we have no idea of the scope of infections because 330 million people have not been tested.

@freemo
So, the number of tests all by itself means... what?

@freemo
Since it's your assertion he;s doing so well, let's have those numbers.

@freemo
He "deployed" the second ship weeks ago. The recent news is simply that it's going to L.A. instead of Seattle.
