Which Aesop? The one that when everyone else was saying, “This doesn’t look good, guys” was calling everyone a bunch of chicken littles, except not as nice? Or the one that’s running around like Kermit the Frog with his head on fire?--The Other Other Andrew
Seriously, back when the rest of us were going only on what was (or wasn’t) coming out of Com China, and were extrapolating that the ChiComs were taking it in the short and curlies, and that bad things were possibly coming (like most all flus) from China to the rest of the world and that we need to secure our preps and our shores from diseased Joe Chinamen and people traveling from China and that quarantining, like what President Trump enacted, needed to be enacted, Mr. Aesop of the magic medical background was calling us a bunch of worry-worts.
Then he went all into panic mode, at the time the rest of us were going… hmmm, not seeing the spread into the real world like what we’ve seen and extrapolated from what ChiCom has allowed to get out.
South Korea? Handled it, handled it quite well. Japan? Same. Hong Kong? Same same. Macao? Same same same.
Italy, where a bunch of Joe Chinamen from Wuhan suddenly flew to before ChiCom shut down? F. u. u. u. u. u. c. k. e. d.
But… One of the Flu Cruise quarantine ships, in a closed environment, with tons of old people (because, really that’s who takes cruises) only has shown, in possibly the most perfect of flu environments, a fatality of 0.5% or less.
At the time that we, the US of A, are curb stomping stupidity, tossing money at vendors like a groom at a strip club, now using manufacturing parameters for making bullets and beans during wartime on manufacturing medical stuffs.
Aesop? Yeah, nah.
Seriously. If you live in a democratic poop-pile and are an old person trapped in a nursing home, yeah, you have a chance of contracting and dying of Corona-Chan just as you would, maybe even less than you would, as you have of contracting and dying of seasonal flu.
Chill. Take reasonable precautions. Enjoy the death of Globalism one cough and one death at a time.
We’ll economically take it in the shorts for 3-6 months, and then come roaring back gangbusters as wuhan recovery takes over.
Seriously. Chill. Wait. Enjoy. Watch all the sheeple, enjoy the blatting of the dems, and relax.
Aesop's a massive dick about just about everything and a half decent troll.
He also has a large number of people who read his site and have bought into it.
Yeah, know the other other Andrew personally. Hell of a guy. I think he uses that handle over at Wirecutter's and other blogs in order to not draw negative attention as a semi-regular poster over at Old AF Sarge's blog.
ReplyDeleteSeriously. Aesop flip-flops quicker and farther than Nancy Pelosi's colostomy bag in a high wind. Man needs to take a frickin chill pill.
I, at first, thought he was a good resource for Ebola. Then... well... much like Alex Jones, the novelty wears off, rather quickly, especially once he jumps on you like a screaming, foul-mouthed Antifa thug on a Trump supporter just because you offered a potentially possible alternate interpretation of an issue.
Had his heels on my shoulders one too many times. Had enough.
Though at least he allows comments on his blog. Unlike some certain gun blogger who drops edicts and opinions from on high filled with dripping condescension without allowing people to respond to her.
What is especially nice about the Busted Knuckles comments is, well, basically everyone else is tired of his stuff, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd when confronted about it Aesop says 'nuh-uh.' Apparently he is self-delusional about his reactions to people.
Said it elsewhere, say it again. Aesop is the Alex Jones of epidemiology.
He loses a lot of people by not replying to people but just rephrasing what he's previously said.
DeleteHe lost me because his first response to anyone confronting him (and some he decided weren't supporting him right) by being as big a dick as he possibly can be.
That's a great way to win people over.
It's key to why I stopped reading Miguel too. Him and his buddy decided to be pricks about the open carry issue rather than actually debate the merits.
I read Miguel and his buddy because they do track various legislative items. But trust them? Nope. And if I find the info elsewhere I won't click on them for further information.
DeleteStill can't understand how supposedly pro-2A supporters can actually support anti-2A measures. I mean, do they need the definition of 'Infringed' tattooed with a laser onto their corneas?
I call myself a classic liberal. I enjoy debate, looking at all sides of the issues, don't really care much about what other people are doing as long as they aren't hurting other people or me. I'm open to opinions, and hope that others are as open to discourse, mild bickering, smart-assed comments and snark, much snark, as long as it is reasonable and not down to the intellectual conversational skills of your average unwashed Antifa member, or Moms Demand member.
Which is why I really enjoy the snappy repartee found here and on other blogs.
Don't want me reading your blog? Go full TDS and acting like a child when you don't get your way. Don't like Trump, tell me why, in a way that makes sense. Don't have a sticker on your blog that says "In your guts, you know he's nuts." That's how you lose me.
