    That's inefficient, ineffective and stupid because you're suggesting playing god and Russian roulette with people's lives when you don't know what you're talking about. This diseas…

    By that "logic," childless individuals shouldn't pay for schools either. Or people who don't have fires shouldn't pay for the fire department. Get a grip and pitch in to the common…

    Hope isn't reality. Overall 20%-50% infection rate is most likely because of the multiple infection waves due to cycles of shutdowns and the extreme infectivity that will occur bef…

    There are only 62k ventilators in the US and 12k held by the SNS. Ventilators aren't simple machines and nowhere near as simple as residential -PAP machines, so this untested "open…

    I'm glad I didn't study at all or have any coaching for the 1600 pt SAT I in the mid 90's because it would've been entirely unnecessary. I missed one question on the math section a…
