@Sheik What did Kimmel say?

You wonder if these influencers know their talking points are wrong or if they're actually that clueless and brainwashed themselves.

Did any of you catch Bill Maher on Kimmel? Could have been last week, maybe it’s older.

He’s a true prick, but in some instances he’ll say some shit that makes sense.

Kimmel was going on about covid and Maher asked him if he’d seen the poll that The New York Times did. It asked Republicans and Democrats what percentage of people need to go to the ICU if they get covid.

Democrats, no surprise considering how stupid they are, thought that over 50% of covid positive people have to go to the hospital.

His point was that the media has soscared the shit out of their viewers that they think they have to go to the hospital if they get covid. That’s what’s overwhelming the emergency rooms, not covid itself.

It’s been one big scare campaign and the dolts who lap up their lies on a nightly basis have helped manufacture a crisis that didn’t need to be.

BTW, the number is between 1% and 5%, but democrats think it’s 10-50 times more than what it really is.

Will Anderson Cooper or Don Lemon have to answer for their fear porn? Nope.
Maher is at least a honest liberal. I can live with that.

I would even go so far as to say he is my favorite liberal. At least nowadays he is.

Old school liberals hate the new school ilk. Even old school lesbians cannot stand the wacked out far left and their BS.

Not much of anything in the clip I watched.

I’m certain he was learning something in the moment. He just had that homer pile look on his face like someone was telling his audience something he wasn’t comfortable with.

He’s good in spots. He’ll still contend that Trump is a dictator that wanted to ruin the US with help from the Russians.

But I will give him credit for the ability to look at some issues like cancel culture and stuff like covid and call balls and strikes fairly.

I’m curious if any of you are surprised that only 1-5% of people who contract covid actually need to visit an emergency room?

I hadn’t even thought about it in those terms. I figured the infected with severe symptoms go to the ER.

If someone would have asked me the question, I would have guessed much higher. Nothing like 50%, but maybe around 20% or so.

I would guess it's even closer to 1% frankly. But no I'm not surprised by those numbers at all. It's a disease that spreads easily and infects a lot of people. Most of those people never have serious complications. In fact most have essentially a cold with some lost of taste. And no I'm not saying that Covid is just the FLU or a cold. I realize that it can cause more serious problems. But the majority of cases aren't really any more serious than that. It just spreads much easier than the cold.

I doubt anyone who is surprised would admit it.

At first I freaked out. I was like has he posted since he got tEh COVIDs?

Yeah, he has.
Knew he had but figured we should get the final verdict. I know he was debating in the game day thread.
