The term you're looking for, and seemingly intellectually unable to grasp anyway, is "spurious correlation".

Yes, because it goes

Sanctuary cities <----- Large population ----> Travel ---- > Infectious Disease

not

Sanctuary Cities --> Infectious Disease

You two are going to as lot of trouble trying to convince me that illegals from 3rd world countries... deal with the threat of coronavirus the same way legal citizens do.

So.... sanctuary cities ALSO happen to be the places where we see the fastest coronavirus outbreaks.

Yeah, I know. That's what my doc calls it as well... the gold standard.
But like I said to him... "this is 2020, there should be an easier way... for the patient".


As I also told him... "everyone in my family and all our relatives all die from heart attack and stroke. Not even a tiny skin cancer on any of us".


I'm still trying to quit smoking ciggs... and I definitely don't need the ridiculous fasting period that is required before a colonoscopy.
He finally broke down and gave me like 5 different "scans" that DO qualify as the silver standard and don't require fasting. :D

This may come as a shock to you.

You sound to me, just like a 14 year old would sound to you. ^^
