Origin
late Middle English: Latin plaga ‘stroke, wound’, probably from Greek (Doric dialect) plaga, from a base meaning ‘strike’.
as a 10th generation black plague survivor this is extremely offensive
So you’re only point is to disrupt while not adding anything of importance. That’s really cool.
I’d be more than happy to apologize if you could explain how my innocuous comment was offensive to you.

Here todays stats.
https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/
Coronavirus Cases:
304,031,568
view by country
Deaths:
5,499,418
Recovered:
258,427,221
Thank you
Those numbers show a mortality rate of 1.8% and a recovery rate of 85%. The other 13% are most likely currently sick and have not died and have not recovered.
5,498,418 dead is 5,498,418 dead regardless of the number of infected. Percentages don’t mean shit when you’re dead. 304,031,568 infected is 304,031,568 infected. I.E. sick.

The only question is the testing. Can't seem to tell the difference from a Corona based common cold vs the Covid.
I know you can’t. I’d have a hard time myself. It really takes a medical education, though I’m sure a layman in the know could make a good guess. Good thing we’re not in charge of research.

About 10 years ago there was an article about a Large possibly obese man in a studio apartment.
They speculated that he died from breathing fart gas, but I'm not sure if that's possible.
THE PLAGUE OF STUPIDITY... Did you see the title of this thread LMAO.
too bad there isn't some way to set the speakers corner so that US citizens are required to pass the citizenship test in order to post here...
maybe making voting contingent upon passing it as well? the GOP should be good with that, looking at their overt attempts at reducing the number of "real" voters & turn-outs...
when that is all that you have left to work with...
Educated on social media. These folks come up with the stupidest shit. When faced with it, they double down. Somehow they think dawning the title of “conservative”, which they are not, gives their stupidity a pass.
