Oh okay so everything he said is fine as long as they let them go


I'd prefer if they were tortured and/or executed/go missing forever like the countries he's comparing to. but we can't all win at these things

You can avoid covid by doing LITERALLY NOTHING. Where as the other 2 can still happen even if you're in a bunker away from the world. What a crock of horse shit.

We still have enough capacities to admit patients from Holland, which is necessary because your ICU's are already full. :bonk:

It should also be noted that Germany stayed farther below its ICU capacity back in spring than most other countries. Experts say that we could handle up to 20 000 covid patients in ICU if necessary.

Oh yeah I know you guys are still doing better in terms of ICU than us. But relatively to the spring peak, you guys are doing worse.

Yes, which is why I pointed out that we were one of the few countries who didnt come even close to their respective max capacity in spring. ;)
Simply put, comparisons with the numbers from spring make sense for most countries, but in the case of Germany, it paints a misleading picture.

You can however implement draconian measures to significantly reduce heart disease. We closed down restaurants because we don't want to spread germs, meanwhile we don't really do anything to stop restaurants or food companies from selling trash food that results in a higher death count.

Funny how we've been conditioned to arbitrarily set these lines in the sand of what's an acceptable killer and what's not. Some preventable deaths are okay but others are not.

I'm generally against invasive government but these things actually work. It worked very well with taxes on cigarettes in NY. I don't know how you'd implement such changes though. Like I like to have some cheesecake or a nice burger now and then so to ban some of these things wouldn't be realistic and would be too big brother and you wouldn't be able to set like a per month quota or whatever limit system. Simultaneously if you tax the shit out of some of these things you'd end up with cries that you're essentially pricing out poor people out of enjoyable foods. You really have to be surgical with whatever laws you come up with.
