    “Ten times more lethal? Lethal than what? What does lethal mean? Does lethal kill you? Does lethal infect you? Does lethal give you a temperature of 102 versus 100? What does it do to you? It’s a meaningless comparative. Ten times more lethal?”

    I think he is just an imbecile.

    le·thal
    /ˈlēTHəl/

    adjective

    1. sufficient to cause death.

    I sometimes question if extreme conservatism is a mental illness.
    This says yes.

    To match Limbaugh’s pointless statement.

    This is a REAL quote, not like the one you fabricated for the Left.

    February 24, 2020
    RUSH: "Now, I want to tell you the truth about the coronavirus … I’m dead right on this. The coronavirus is the common cold, folks."

    I'm sure you are confused.

    It is called wrongful death and willful negligence.

    You can't yell "There is no fire!" in a burning theater.

    Limbaugh will go down in history as a mass murderer. It is unlikely that criminal charges will be filed. But he is going to be sued out of existence along with Fox News.

    If it was my call, they would be held criminally liable for the deaths of thousands. That will be the reality when this is over.

    I guess Pelosi and Cuomo should be charged as well. They were both encouraging people to go out and socialize, to attend events where large groups were gathered.

    Psst.. It is a strain of it...
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronavirus
    Coronaviruses are a group of related viruses that cause diseases in mammals and birds. In humans, coronaviruses cause respiratory tract infections that can be mild, such as some cases of the common cold (among other possible causes, predominantly rhinoviruses), and others that can be lethal, such as SARS, MERS, and COVID-19. Symptoms in other species vary: in chickens, they cause an upper respiratory tract disease, while in cows and pigs they cause diarrhea. There are yet to be vaccines or antiviral drugs to prevent or treat human coronavirus infections.

    Coronaviruses are a group of viruses known for causing the common cold. They have a halo or crown-like (corona) appearance when viewed under an electron microscope.

    The Coronavirus is not the common cold though, is it. That's like saying that mammal is just like a lamb. I know if I was locked in a cage with either a lamb or a tiger, I certainly would not choose the tiger even though lambs and tigers are both a strain of mammals

    Oh.... great... that's MUCH more accurate...

    :roflol:

    Karma can be a bitch, Rush..... Hope you are washing your hands and wearing a mask.

    (I don't care if the mask works or not... it's just an overall improvement).

    This guy is about as relevant to 2020 as the Edsel....

    He has been irrelevant for decades and is a dying man so no need to insult him
    He won’t be alive in a year

    to be fair, they increase the risk, the oldest person to have lived was a smoker who smoked almost 100 years of her life ... so it's not a definite, many things increase risk including the sun

    stress reduces risk, so if smoking reduces stress, could be a wash, if you constantly stress about wanting to quit, could increase the risk, many variables

    I would more say, excessive smoking is the problem.... like getting excessive sun exposure

    that said, this guy is rich and is probably isolated himself

    He's correct. Cigarettes don't cause lung cancer. A correlation is not a causation.

    A correlation is not a causation.

    For what crime, exactly?

    Lovely.

    You don’t believe smoking leads to increase chances of lung cancer?

    That’s interesting.

    Strawman Argument Fallacy.

    I specifically said that smoking does not CAUSE cancer; I never said that it wasn't a contributing factor.
