Okay so for those playing at home, tonight's thread de-railing will be: porn versus contact tracing.

If you had that on your card, you can collect your prize at the SR Shop link above.

Good question. I have a theory. Actually a couple. One, the relative health of the kids. That's purely a guess, and I tend to think it's not that.

The other, which I would ne be surprised at is the virus is beginning to act differently, and manifest with some different symptoms. Maybe it's mutating or something. I'm not sure, but it seems different than what's been reported in other countries.

I have a couple theories myself....1 I'll keep to myself. The other is that the dots maybe haven't been connected in the other countries yet which is the better of my 2 theories.

So speaking loudly, close proximity for 2.5 hours and a big group made for the perfect recipe of spread.

Can't wait to go to a Saints game.

You go right ahead. I'll watch from the comfort of my home. Break a leg!

Crazy. Feels like we keep finding more about this than we knew was out there. I'm wondering why we're only hearing about this many cases in children now? Did other countries like China, Korea and Italy not have this going on in children there? Such a head scratcher.

At this point, I'm honestly just sitting back waiting for reports to start showing up that people are developing mutant powers so we can go ahead and have a real life X-Men set up going on.

Yesss! I'm more about Avengers, but X-men works good too.

You obviously haven't been following along in the 2020 manual. That's not how 2020 works.

Pretty much our entire response to Covid at this point anyway.

OK I did a little searching. In the first link, the article notes what you said but also states that those relationships have changed from that time to now

Did The Great Depression Have A Silver Lining? Life Expectancy Increased By 6.2 Years

The Great Depression had a silver lining: during that hard time, US life expectancy actually increased by 6.2 years, according to a new study.

And this article notes that it was mostly a lack of automobile deaths responsible for the change...since people couldnt afford cars

Great Depression did not significantly improve life expectancy in United States, study finds

A new provides a fresh perspective on the Great Depression of the 1930s. A widely held view is that there were remarkable improvements in life expectancy of over five years. Using data from urban populations, researchers found that it was actually associated with an increase in suicides but...

I have no idea on statistics but I would imagine there weren't many people that had cars in 1918.

So I looked it up. According to this article there were 5 million registered vehicles in the US in 1917. There were about 103 million Americans in 1917. So would 5 percent of the population no longer driving be enough to increase life expectancy? I have my doubts on that.

Dunno but our society is far different now. I dont think this society could handle losing their toys or having to be self sufficient.

So it hasnt been peer reviewed, but it certainly doesnt hurt to get more Vitamin D

This One Supplement May Save You from COVID-19

A recently published medical study is showing a strong correlation between this key supplement and mortality rates that have come with the coronavirus: Vitamin D.

That's interesting. A novel coronavirus emerged worldwide in the pig population in the early 2000's causing very high mortality and morbidity rates. While a vaccine has helped mitigate some of the negative effects of the virus (Porcine Coronavirus Type 2), we've found that Vitamin D supplementation had a statistically significant effect on pig survivability even with the vaccine.
