I'm sure people were tired of precautions with the Spanish Flu circa June 1918 as well, but that didn't mean it was going to end because of it.



I didn't write the article and it's obvious you didn't read it.

How it will end is simple. People will refuse to wear masks for the sake of other people and people will refuse to do business with those people. Not all, but many, enough. These same people will wonder why things haven't gotten back to normal, why the economy is still in the shitter, and why their business is still doing poorly. These very same people will eventually get the virus then spread it to people they do business with, potentially leading to liability because they refused to take even basic precautions. These same people will also spread it to their loved ones, neighbors, and friends, ultimately being responsible for getting numerous people getting sick and possibly killing someone in the process. Maybe some will change their perspective after being deathly ill, watching someone they love become deathly ill, or having their spouse/parents/child die alone in a hospital room. Maybe they still won't change their perspective despite this cuz AMERIKA!

This pandemic has taught me that some people are simply too stupid, ignorant, stubborn, and selfish. They care so little about other people that they can't even bother with the minor inconvenience of wearing a mask around others and backing the fuck up 6ft. They can't even handle basic, minor precautions for the sake of everyone, including themselves. They engage in self defeating behavior because it is convenient and well, because fuck everyone else that isn't them. Really, at this point I am just going to sit back and watch this shit show unfold and not even bother with stupid people. Natural selection has a purpose and part of it is weeding out people like this.

Come on Opie, you know you will back Trump no matter what, even if it is glaringly obvious that he lost.

Think about it, what has he done as president? No much at all. Now think about all the things he as done that you Republicans once hated? The ACA, still there. The debt, way fucking bigger than ever. Bail outs, he has even attributed his name to the checks. Wall Street, trillions in rescue funds. Fact it, he has played all of you as clowns since the day he walked into office. Does he deserve another four years? Fuck no.

Unfortunately in this case, the stupid people incapable of independent thought are the very same, fragile, people that think wearing a mask in public and backing up 6ft from other people means they are being ruled.

This is far from over. We have too many dumb and inconsiderate people in this country for it to be over. It's only just begun.....

In Brevard County, FL, out of roughly 600,000 residents, we have had 399 confirmed cases and 12 deaths.

So, 0.067% of the population caught it. 0.002% of the overall population died from it. And 3% of the confirmed cases died from it.

What should that tell you? If we can create this hysteria from this then we can create it for anything. In the fall, this could easily be repeated just using a new strain of the regular flu. I genuinely believe that the experts were worried this would be much worse than it ended up being. I also believe that plenty of others are taking copious notes on how this is playing out and how they can recreate it to suit their agendas.

3% of the people that got covid here die. You like those odds? 5.8% of the people that got covid in the USA died. You can water it down all you want. But the fact is we were distancing for 2.5 months and still have 100k+ deaths. Now we open up, FFS. It's going to get bad quick. The experts were right on the money. They predicted 100k - 200k deaths by June with social distancing.

The White House projects 100,000 to 200,000 Covid-19 deaths
At least.

Yes, COVID-19 will be with us for quite some time to come. Sure, it may be "calming down" a little bit but, for 2 to 3 years more years it will be the bane of ICU beds.

And, it does seem that this is all being handled in a half-ass way for sure. At many times we can see that the Clown Car is filled to capacity, not with Clowns but, simple Buffoons.

Well, , , , for sure enough, , , , it is very convenient to talk about "only so many cases, only so many deaths", , , but, , , , ,

Is it also convenient to not consider, or mention, that all these numbers would be MUCH higher if we did not get "locked down"?

I think the whole thing is pretty much similar to unprotected sex in the early days of HIV. You can take chances, and you might be ok. Or you might die.

The best thing to do is manage your risk, take precautions, and make sure those "in your space" do too.

This promotion of irresponsible behavior is political hysteria from the right, who desperately need to keep their followers foaming at the mouth over something.... anything will do.

Quick? How quick. There has been no real difference in the infection rate during stay at home or since we have opened up. The deaths will come regardless is what the data is showing. But why look at it when you can selectively post your worst nightmare stats.

The politicians may have "opened up" but most people are still hunkered down. The smart ones anyway. Travel is way down, people aren't getting off planes from all over yet.

My company has made it clear that they are NOT going to follow any opening guidelines from the US government. The view of the USA from Europe and APAC is not flattering.

1. It takes a couple of weeks.
2. People are still distancing regardless of "opening up".
3. Not "selectively posting nightmare stats". Posting actual stats not watered down stats.

Okay. A few weeks for increased infection to show up eh. Bet you got some stats besides wishful thinking for that statement.

Well keep your hopes up. No sign of it yet.

BTW no one said to stop social distancing or stop practicing good hygiene. That will keep you from getting it.

Nope. You say that from the comfort of living in Florida, and you're allowed to do as you please. I'm talking about the ones that live in California, Chicago, Dallas, all the other areas that are on severe lock down. The ones that are arrested for congregating at church. The ones that are arrested/fined for peacefully assembling and protesting. The business owners that are fined/locks changed on their operation because they needed to feed their family. You know, all the things the Constitution forbids government from doing.
