Anyone know what 2% of 330,000,000 is? Aside from that, is pandemic defined by death rate? The second question is genuine.

😠 makes me naggy

If you consider 2% death rate a pandemic then the flu is also a pandemic

@Beth demand your servitude.

Fair. Two pandemics then. I thought it might have something to do with transmissibility or something.

This sounds like a General Chat conversation?

Sorry, looked like it was going on for a spell.

It is a tangent of the topic but not directly part of it for sure

@Soburin, you just advanced to level 5!

Can't leave the country

No religious freedom

@Zuluzeit which items on the totalitarian list above do you take issue with?

I guess we could separate it into varying degrees...

All of them. I don't like them.

Like you don't like them in general or you don't think that I'm making a good point.

So we agree they are bad.

Hell yeah they're bad

I think those are things we should avoid.
