Covid isn't killing me. The governments reaction to it is.

The common cold has about the same chance of killing you as covid is.
Since Covid hit, I drive about 15 miles a day. Back and forth to work only. I'm a pretty low risk for having an auto accident, but I still wear a seatbelt.
I had the H1n1 virus and it was awful. I don't want to get sick like that again.
It's not just about death.
To be honest, wearing a mask to prevent germs from flying around the room is never a bad idea.
Its common decency.
 
Honestly I don't even care about the mask bullshit. It's nothing more than a placebo to calm the nerves of the paranoid.
Medical professionals with a wealth of experience in epidemiology have arrived at one conclusion based upon empirical data derived from extensive controlled studies.

Those who have refined their expertise in the discipline through multiple casino bankruptcies and a gig as a reality-tv performer offer an alternate opinion.

Who you gonna believe?

The danger to business is spreading virus not the mandates to address it. People are choosing not to go out.

There is nothing closed in my Democratic Governor state of NC. We can pretty much do whatever. There are mask rules and capacity rules. I’ve seen very few restrictions impact business but I’ve seen businesses impacted because people are CHOOSING not to partake in riskier behavior.

Yea Cracker Barrel has less seating which impacts them on the weekend. Yes a small restaurant with about 7 tables is closing til they can open all 7. But the vast majority of everything is open except where low demand is killing them. Went to a bar the other day and waited for my sushi. There wasnt a wait nor was the bar crowded like it used to be... all cuz of customers not going out.

Most folks want to live and not endanger their vulnerable relatives by contracting and spreading disease.

That means taking sensible precautions that include avoiding more risky venues until they no longer present a danger.

People exhibiting common sense until there have been sufficient vaccinations to eliminate the threat is a prudent reaction.
 
They have done a good job at putting the fear of God himself into people.

99%+ survivability and they have us locked down as if the Walking Dead were roaming the streets.
By this point we COULD have had herd immunity but instead we fucked around long enough to give the virus time to adapt and mutate.
Would more have died up to this point? Likely so
Would more have been saved in the long run by preventing suicides/overdoses and all the other social bullshit that the government has IMPOSED ON US? Likely so as well.

And now we're likely to get round 2 of the government mandates thanks to their own ineptitude.

And don't give me that herd immunity is not an answer bullshit because since the vaccine became a reality that's all they've talked about.

Instead we're gonna have a "Biden" response to it if the new strains make it here.

God help us
Too fn bad It needs to kill a few 1000 of you scumbags and then maybe you'll get the point
People die. Such is the thing we call life and the risks it entails. Did you quit driving because you might kill someone else? No? Didn't think so. Selfish bastard
But you moron we try to LOWER those risks and listening to what the doctors and scientists say does just that Morons who still worship the AH Trump are a blight on America
 
Only killing 1% who catch covid, is killing 3.3 million people in the United states.

99% surviving this virus, is 1% of Americans not surviving....seems small, but when the 1% or 2% killed by this virus is 3.3 to 6.6 million American people dead from it.... It's not as small as you think.
yet it's as normal as any year.....
Statistics Show that the Number of People who Died in the U.S. in 2020 will be the SAME as Previous Years, in Spite of COVID
simply NOT TRUE!!!


From January 26, 2020, through October 3, 2020, an estimated 299,028 more persons than expected have died in the United States.** Excess deaths reached their highest points to date during the weeks ending April 11 (40.4% excess) and August 8, 2020 (23.5% excess) (Figure 1). Two thirds of excess deaths during the analysis period (66.2%; 198,081) were attributed to COVID-19 and the remaining third to other causes†† (Figure
 
Morons who still worship the AH Trump are a blight on America
Presumably, the cult of personality slavishly follows the eructations of their object of veneration in all matters scientific and, specifically, medical.

"Ah ain't seein' no dang 'proctologist' fer mah hemmy-roids!
Glorious Leader will assuage mah malady wif his infinite acumen!
If'n he says, "tabasco sauce!', then tabasco sauce it is! -
Ah'd ax 'im now, but he's too dern busy pissin' and moanin'!"
 
Covid isn't killing me.
In that case, please show some respect for the 335,265 Americans it has killed, the 19,103,992 infected by it, and the heroic health care professionals across the land who are struggling tirelessly to save lives.

Ideological crackpots who flout common sense measures to prevent its spread and protect their vulnerable loved ones should summon a modicum of decency and stifle their cockamamy ravings until medical science has overcome the blight that persists in decimating so many decent folks.

Wear a mask in public. Avoid large gatherings. Wash your hands frequently. Confine your pissing and moaning to private self-indulgences.
I don't believe the numbers. In fact they remind me of Biden’s vote count total.
Complete horseshit on both counts.
 
Loser's dismal failure, leading the U.S. from "It's under control!", "There are very few people with it and they're getting better!" - They're all getting better!" to #1 among all nations on earth in infections and deaths, compels Loser to sulk and his lickspittles to wallow in denial.

They would do better to trek to our southern border and pleasure themselves by gazing up at Loser's "big, beautiful wall!" that he made Mexico pay for.

You go into any given thread and rather than discuss the topic you obsess over Trump.
You definitely have an illness and it isn't covid.

TRY to talk on topic if you're capable

I listened to both my doctors. Both said masks were worthless and did nothing to stop a virus. They don't wear masks. Neither do I. But I do social distance and have done that forever since I don't like crowds or people getting too close to me anyway.

The desire for avoidance is entirely understandable, but a thread that addresses "Covid" and "governments reaction" cannot easily escape that conspicuous pachyderm in the parlor.

Same here in parts of Florida, it isn't any mandates because we don't have any, people just aren't going into these businesses. It will pick up I suppose in a few months from outsider's.

I live in a country where we locked down early, we locked down hard, and we re-opened slowly. As of Christmas Eve, we back in lockdown for 30 days. There are mask mandates everywhere. We've lost 14,000 people, and we've had 500,000 cases. Our rate of infection per million citizens is #85 in the world.

But we've cancelled everything this year, and masked up when out of our homes. Our schools didn't open until late September, and they're closed after the holidays, for two full weeks. They may not re-open.

Canada followed the scientists - to the letter. The government didn't push to reopen as soon as cases started to drop. We got down to 200 cases a day in the entire country - before we re-opened at all. We started buying PPE in January, and never ran out. Our hospitals were never overwhelmed, although we are close to capacity right now - hence the lockdown.

As a result of our containing the virus, our economy hasn't crashed. Yes there's been damage, but unlike the USA, our people have sufficient money and protections to see us through to the vaccine, and we've already bought enough vaccine for everyone in the country.

Don't go to the grocery store then
 
People are manic right now. People I respect are cracking under the pressure.
One of my closest friends is literally scared to death to leave his house. Anytime his wife goes out I hear about how she put his life at risk.

IT'S FUCKING INSANE

I hope he comes though it okay. I can't wait to go bowling again. I didn't really like doing it much other than the fellowship of getting together and bowling and eating cheap nachos (which are the best). Right now, I'd kill to sit in the shitty bowling alley, and hear the same stories I've heard 80 times.
Stories?

Why I remember when you vote counted for something and government did not suck the lives out of while, at the same time, raising our taxes as government is giving stimulus packages away because people need the F#CKING money instead of retarded tax increases dementia JOE!!!!

But I digress.

Well I don't know about "you vote" but my vote counted. Really dude...your blob lost. deal with it.

Not really. They made a mockery out of your vote when they committed massive fraud.
