The Coronavirus, not the beer

I know people are against funding for museums and the arts, but they do pay for themselves over time.

The construction creates jobs, and the merchandise and memorabilia they sell always have pretty good profit margins. The national parks are the same way. They are the best government programs that people actually use.

We should pass construction on a Smithsonian Museum of the Confederate States of America. Even charge admission. Will sell tickets like hotcakes.

My gripe is the felony charges for illegal streaming of movies and music. Good old fashioned crony capitalism.

We’ve had the warmest November and December on record by a long shot in the Dakotas. In ND our last spike began and corresponded with our one extreme cold shot in October. The warmer temps and mask mandate almost certainly explain the better conditions in ND.

It’s also not about magnitude of the cold. It’s about cold tolerance and what keeps people in doors more. A much warmer than normal for December in ND would still be pretty cold in the south but here a 47 degree day will bring people outside everywhere in ND in short sleeves and shorts if there isn’t any wind.

I've been assured that ANY drop in temperature is reason for rising cases*

You going with the extreme sarcasm that no one actually said again. Your favorite past time. You’re just arguing to argue at this point.

The board lecturerer is on record saying the rise of California and NY are due to temp decreases.

Considering NY and CA have been much colder than normal for this time of year which likely drove many people indoors... it’s not a stretch. Your argument was that he said ANY temp drop is the reason for more cases. Bet you can’t actually produce where he said that. You are the king of putting words in peoples mouths.

Lol.

Dakota increases are from bad leadership.

California and NY are from dropping temps. Could you imagine if they didn't make it illegal to live and not muzzle your face?!?

He doesn't like to discuss Florida.

More over the top sarcasm from the board hypocrite

What about my position (end lockdowns, masks are helpful, etc) is hypocritical.

The lecturer changes his argument depending on which state he is analyzing.

Unsurprisingly, he is a lot harsher on those dumb redneck states than the unimaginable failure of those super smart blue states who like to lockdown their citizenry

Sigh... you obviously don’t understand that it has to do with temperature relative to normal not magnitude... I know it’s a real tough concept
