So my little pokes resulted in some people thinking about the drawbacks of parlay betting.
That means the folks over there do learn. Never got a "Thanks for pointing out how lazy I've been," but the work is reward enough.
Actually they all probably died from COVID and stopped posting, like you told us we all would a year ago.
Like society in general, and even with an older membership, as far as I know not one member on either forum died from the Vid.
That said, you are right about the parlays. But then again even a total piece of shit asshole like Fauci is right occasionally. You know, when he said masks don’t make a difference.
Boz, if you think my Covid-19 death estimates were more wrong than your death estimates, God bless you. I actually was low. Michael Osterholm's original numbers were dead spot-on, and I thought he was being overly pessimistic. He was so on target, it was ridiculous. But objective science and a lifetime of infectious disease estimating will do that for you, I suppose.
Now, remember when you posted early on that only a few had died, and 3000 died in 9/11 and what was the big deal compared to 9/11? Or do I have to look that one up and quote it?
I mean, c'mon, man, as far as Covid-19 casualties go, you were unbelievably wrong. Go back and read your own posts.
