That's some pretty strong language and normally I object to that sort of thing, but I'd say in this case it's completely justified. The conspiracy theorists who think this worldwide health crisis is a joke, should take a long hard look at the facts and get in touch with reality.

Is The True Coronavirus Death Toll Undercounted?
The official death count in the USA has reached 200,000, but the actual death count is very close to 300,000.

Who's to blame? Those who care too much and think too little.

Exponential growth and epidemics
Great math lesson here and some lessons that might help us understand what we are currently experiencing with the coronavirus. Great line at the very end:

Great analysis of different situations and if you don't know what an "inflection point" or "logistic curve" are, then you really need to watch this video. Seriously, if you're over the age of fifteen and you don't already know these terms, then you're pretty much out to lunch. Do yourself a favor and learn something....

Instead of getting in touch with their feelings, stupid people on both the left and the right should do themselves a favor and get in touch with math. There is no better way to develop a clear understanding of reality than developing a deep understanding of the concepts of logic, statistics, algebra, trigonometry, geometry, and calculus.

Emotion is like a drug and many people would rather sit around and discuss their feelings, than get in touch with reality. Self-gratification is easier than self-improvement. It takes effort to learn something, whereas emotional self-gratification is basically just a form of masturbation and when people sit around in groups discussing their feelings, it's basically nothing more than what is sometimes referred to as a circle jerk session.

September 24th Special Board Meeting
Here's a short little mini board meeting. Oddly, the fella to the extreme right on the screen hasn't seemed to have figured out that sound can travel through a mask. He pulls his mask down every time he has something to say.

It's a difficult concept for some people to grasp....
