Has "politically correct" killed the used audio market?

Previously loved, slightly demo'ed....etc.  

Gosh, when I sell the old car I should not list it as "used" ....perhaps "formerly observed", "slightly touched",  "once considered",  "only driven by a Little Old Lady from Riverside, Ca."

But thankfully no items sold are "used" any longer, really helps my faith in the market.

"Creative writing and the Internet" should be a required course for all "Semi-liberal  arts" degrees"

I am not sure what Malaria has to do with all of this, but it may not be the perfect example of diseases that are less common these days because of Coronavirus pandemic.

The mode of transmission of Malaria is hardly affected by the measures we are using against Coronavirus (masks, hand hygiene, social distancing around two meter). These measures may not prevent Malaria, save for social distancing for which two meter may not be enough as long as the mosquito is not severely crippled.

Just for kicks, go and google. "we want them infected" and see where it gets you. Actions like this should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.

All the best,

Perhaps for the prevention of malaria, one should call a SWAT team!
Sorry.

haha...exactly. Malaria is the worst analogy ever to COVID.  Malaria can't be spread from person to person.

The point about malaria is, it has been a world wide issue for MANY years. It is somewhat controlled. Yet every year thousands upon thousand are affected. It is an ongoing pandemic... There are some lasting long term affects. It is on the RISE again because of bans on DDT for one, and a few others.

Influenza on the other hand does not have as many long term effects. BUT the same principal apply as far as prevention. Social distance, mask. 50-100K per year, die. 50-150 million infected. It's pretty darn contagious.

SARS, same as Covid, VERY contagious, Ebola the same way VERY contagious... Higher death toll per infection, capital, and many more long lasting effect on some, heart, kidney, lung issues..

The problem was a treatment, we had treatment for most of the other illnesses. We now have a vaccine, things are a lot better. But I haven't been vaccinated, yet either..

As for the pandemic is "Only if  American have it", you haven't traveled much have you?.. You know out of the US. When you have to work outside the US, I mean WORK!! You understand how clean it is in the US, and how good working conditions are.. We have a lot going for us in the US, a whole lot..
