    Yes, it is. For nearly every single age demographic except those under the age of 15.

    Mantras 4b, 4f, 5, 12, 22d, 25g, 35d, 37d, 37e, 39b ignored on sight. No valid argumentation presented.

    The mantra list can be found here: https://politiplex.freeforums.net/thread/59/nights-numbered-mantra-list

    Textbooks do not define words. "Experts" are not "holy". A fraction of a percent of people infected is not a "pandemic". It is not even a "situation". It is statistically insignificant. You are fear mongering.

    If the virus does not have a new warm body to infect (which is what happens when you quarantine), then the virus dies off.

    And yes, if you limit something enough, then you stop it.

    These are real ****ing simple concepts. Stop.

    Infected individuals have been quarantined, and guess what, the disease has still spread all over the world...

    In case you hadn't noticed, the virus has spread all over the world... quarantining has not stopped it...

    No one gives a **** about your list of mantras.

    And yes, Covid-19 is a textbook definition of a pandemic because it is "an outbreak of a disease that occurs over a wide geographic area and affects an exceptionally high proportion of the population"

    Do you think every person that was infected quarantined themselves?

    No it isn't. Half of the people who have died while infected with covid were people in nursing homes/etc. who were already on death's doorstep anyway... Healthy people with healthy immune systems are (with very few exceptions) recovering with little/no issues after contracting this virus.

    Mantra 34. You cannot speak for others; you can only speak for yourself.

    It's not my list of mantras btw; it belongs to and is updated by someone else who I regularly correspond with. I'm just making use of his list because the same repetitive mantras get old after a while.

    Mantras 4b, 39f, 39g. A dictionary does not define words, nor is it a proof of anything, nor is repetition of an argument a proof of anything.

    Even accepting that definition (I don't accept it), a small fraction of a percent of the world's population is NOT "an exceptionally high proportion of the population". A small fraction of a percent is not significant, statistically speaking.

    No.

    Even if they had, they already spread the virus to other people before they quarantined themselves (or their government unconstitutionally quarantined them).

    Quarantining does not stop a virus.

    ...and did you think that would somehow make Covid-19 less than multiple times more deadly than the seasonal flu?

    Yes, it objectively stop spread the spread of a virus. That is explicitly the reason why quarantining is the proper and recommended course of action for every single infectious disease on the planet.

    Covid-19 is the textbook definition of a pandemic. It is spread over a massive geographic area and it has impacted a significantly high percentage of the population in those areas.

    And agian, no one gives a **** about your list of mantras.

    When in the history of mankind has a virus not activated an immune response in its host? It's a fundamental principle of nature.

    There's no reason why we should be treating this virus any different from other viruses other than its novelty, and it's novelty diminishes each day as each new exposure occurs. Pretending that we can hide from it forever is an exercise in futility, and a direct front to our personal freedoms and liberties.

    It behaves how the seasonal flu behaves. It is no more deadly.

    There is no paradox to go away.

    If there were, you would reference it.

    You have never done that.

    For example, if you think BB is not science, you need to CITE IT. If you think nothing is science unless it can be duplicated in a lab (such as duplicating the emergence of manking through evolution in a lab, duplicating the expansion of our universe in a lab, etc.) then you need to cite that.

    You need to cite experts who substantiate these ideas of yours.

    Nobody here is likely to accept gfm physics instead of the actual field of physics.

    Argument By Repetition Fallacy. Dismissed on sight. No valid argumentation presented.

    You have absolutely zero proof that covid-19 behaves how the seasonal flu behaves and you have absolutely zero proof that covid-19 is no more deadly.

    But I'm sure you claim some idiotic and meaningless mantra instead of actually providing proof.

    The original argument was already valid, you presented zero reason to deviate.

    Fester on it.
