Yes, some physical exercise and a rational approach really help to keep our anxieties at bay, I think.

As covid drags on, with debates raging about masks/schools and vaccines, it's easy to lose sight of how things really stand. That's why this statistic surprised me:
US covid deaths are averaging 1500 a day. Remember 9/11? That much-lamented death toll is now happening every 2 days in the US.

By the same token, we've had just over 5000 deaths in what a year and a half about? That means we've experienced less than four days of deaths over that period compared to America. Yes we're a smaller country but it still gives you an idea of what a mess things are in the US of A.

Luckily the Grand Canyon is the world's largest pre-dug mass grave.

At the peak, the US was almost doubling the WTC death toll daily. I'm lucky to be living in Maryland. We're averaging maybe ten deaths a day and we're about an average state population wise. Yes, it's bad, but it could be a lot worse.

Norway is relatively tiny country in terms of population with a count of roughly 5,33 million in 2019.

We have 823 covid deaths so far from 168 469 known cases which is about 0,48% mortality.

The US has 40 866 998 confirmed cases with 666 608 deaths, so that's a mortality rate of about 1,63.

So if you're in the US and get covid, it seems your chances of dying are quite a bit higher than they are here.

He took a ****load of **** none of us can afford. I hear what probably helped was monoclonal antibodies, which cost thousands of dollars.

Tbh though he probably just got the vaccine and is lying about it to play to his dip**** listeners.

He totally got a vaccine. Joe Rogan is a character now. He's become like his best friend Alex Jones.
