This thing is getting its ass kicked. DMB should announce a late summer/fall tour.

They're only a threat inasmuch as we don't mitigate the virus properly i.e. what I mentioned above.

Based on what existing science related to coronaviruses?
We’ll wait. Spoiler:

Maybe that's why influenza is so tricky? The human race couldn't get vaccinated when time was on their side.

Last I heard, COVID is projected to have something below 25 mutations per year. The flu has ~50+. SARS-CoV-2 is also - genomically - twice as complex as common flu strains. When you add these factors together, the seasonal flu mutates about 4x faster/more frequently than SARS-CoV-2. I’ll see if I can dig up where I read this.

I have tickets to 2 shows in April that are still being promoted. I'm not counting on them happening. And I have a ticket to Rage Against the machine in August in NYC. Not counting on that either

Covid is much more infectious and serious, thus there is no seasonality to it. |

This is all wrong as usual.

You specifically said that the flu vaccine isn’t ready until the season is over. That’s not true at all. People start getting vaccinated in September/October at the start of the flu season. There’s a vaccine available, even if it’s a “guess”.

Honestly at this point I’m kind of rooting for Mario to get a win in here at some point. I do have a heart.

It’s not even a win at this point, all I’d ask is to be humble. It’s ok to be wrong, we all are at some point. Just have the balls to admit when you are. Mario, you can’t always be right, that’s just not possible.

He’s already addressed that.
Part of the reason I keep busting his balls is back in the early days of this thread he said something along the lines of: “I never speak about something unless I know I’m right.” He meant it, too. Not an ounce of humor in the post. That’s when I dug in on him and decided to show him how wrong he really tends to be. He knows this all goes back to that post, I’ve mentioned it before. Dude’s a lunatic. He literally, whole-heartedly believes he’s the smartest person in the room. Always. He has all the facts and the other person is always wrong. It’s hilarious. Narcissism and disillusionment to the highest degree. Who even says that?
