Keeping the male #'s down does Nothing to control population, in any species......like, deer or geese, for 2 examples.

@AnneWimsey in the case of deer, each dominant male has a harem, so if he gets culled, the younger bucks get a chance to mate. But they need to prove worthy, so it slows things down for a bit. But that is also why there are doe licences .Geese are not culled by sex, so the population control is pretty even. As for human males, those left over eventually catch up. But imagine how many more people would be around if the ten’s of millions of men hadn’t been slaughtered in WW I and WW II.

@Barnie2years my ex was an Avid Hunter & we ate nothing but game (& some bacon!) for 33 years, from the 2 freezers in the basement...doubt there is much I do not know about geese & deer, he even had a degree in wildlife management. And you are right about the dearth of males after the WW's, especially 8n Europe & after the Spanish Flu, as well...I have heard it said we (women) only really need one, lol!

Helluva way to go!

still learning

This is new and it isn't a drill. They're learning as they go. I prefer to look at all the available information as they discover it. People need to do more worrying about it. If we had central leadership, this would probably be on the decline, but with each state making its own decisions, the numbers keep going up because people refuse to listen to the best advice they have available at the moment.

@TheoryNumber3 frumpy just gave some failing lab 1.6 billion to "develop a vaccine" when they have never done any such work....that's what you mean?

@AnneWimsey Hey! he's a charitable guy, trump. Of course that's ridiculous. But I am trying to listen to the scientists. At least the ones not affiliated with the white house....

I always go to game show hosts for medical information. Don't you?
