This is made up, but it reads like: "Spider-Man's last game really called it! But before I say how it did, who is Spider-Man? Well, Spider-Man is like one of those summer's you spent as a kid, a familiar friendly thing you can remember fondly. Did I say familiar? Because that is what the plot is compared to today's real life situation! Oscorp did something bad...bad! But what is Oscorp? Well the first thing you need to know is that Oscorp is all about Norman Osborn. Get it? I sure didn't, but read on to see how I did, and how you will too ..." I hate the current state of article writing, it's just so bad, and so obviously trying to game Google's horrible modern SEO. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She first asked him why he insists on making it a competition by claiming that the US is doing far better than any other country. "Why does that matter? Why is this a global competition to you if every day Americans are losing their lives." This is apparently the question he didn't like, presumably because it's implicitly critical, implying that he shouldn't be doing this.

Commissar SFLUFAN Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 What the hell, Belgium?!?!? I just looked at the JHU data - they have 8,700 deaths for about 54,000 confirmed cases. That's a mortality rate of 16% The Netherlands ain't too far behind with a mortality rate of 13%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At one point several weeks ago, more than half of their reported deaths had not had a positive COVID-19 test for the virus. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 BTW, I did Model Congress and Model UN in high school, and people always hated it when it was question time and you'd give a speech and punctuate it with a question mark so that it was technically a question.

In their case it's just about downplaying it. I had a team huddle and someone mentioned that everyone that dies at a hospital is being listed as COVID because there is more money if it's a COVID case. Which makes little sense. My understanding is hospitals are doing poorly financially because so much of their money comes from surgeries. In addition in NJ/NYC the hospitals were swamped with COVID patients.
