The Daily Bullets are brought to you by Hoboken Coffee: Perfectly Roasted in Historic Guthrie. Two Bags Ship Free. Order Now! Today marks the fifth-ish week of quarantine/working from home – good luck friends! Bullets Rundown • JT Thor tried to Kevin Durant-Easter • Cool digital breakdown of the Cowboy Basketball season • Calmly talking through the Gundy snags OSU Bullets • Regardless of how clear it seemed, JT Thor decided to go to Auburn instead of OSU. I’ve never felt more anxious about how an OSU Basketball team will fill its 13th spot. • This was a pretty cool digital review of the Cowboy Basketball season • I found a pair of quotes clarifying the outrage (against) Mike Gundy’s remarks and they’re done in the least emotional way possible. It stinks that the economy is endangered and we’re undergoing layoffs, furloughs and pay cuts. It is a major, legitimate stress on all of us. But we have to be so careful how we frame that as people are getting sick and dying. Gundy showed us how not to frame it. [TulsaWorld] And after really trying to see both sides, these remarks explain further where the remarks just don’t fit…
This entire situation is still very weird to me. COVID-19 is obviously a dangerous virus, and we need to keep it at bay, so the quarantines and shelter-in-place calls are warranted. But, after half a year of spread of the virus, you can still fit every death accounted for from the virus world-wide in a single football stadium. And that is including the non-COVID deaths that have been included in the count. On the other side, there have been almost 11x as many cancer-related deaths since the beginning of 2020 as there have been COVID-19 deaths in its existence, and almost 90x (!!!) as many abortion deaths.
The virus is dangerous. There is no arguing that. But with all the other issues out there causing far more dangerous and life-threatening issues than COVID-19, I’m still wondering why this particular sickness is the one that they have chosen to shut down the world for. This is a big issue, but we need to do a better job at illustrating and attacking the other, more dangerous issues we have as well.
