Coronavirus


working out will keep you from getting the virus

That would be a nice marketing idea if he wasn't giving away free memberships to anyone that believed him.

Maybe start out with half price memberships, or your first two months are free or something.
 
Have you considered going full on Corporal Klinger?

Amazon has some great deals on some very lovely sun dresses that I think would just be fabulous on you.


won't work.
now days that's the military version of "resume enhancer"
 
Is this a Kennedy or is there more to the story that us non-yokels don't know?
Long story short...
He got drunk, he got in a car accident, he killed a 19 year old kid, he spent 5 years in jail, he’s out.

Not very fun private testing.

My uncle in law who lived by himself in Denver passed away 3 weeks ago. All his siblings went out to go out to get his body released from the hospital and to clear out his two bedroom apartment. My mother in laws brother from California decided to make a mini vacation out of it and brought the kids (like around 10yo) sister from Alabama flew out and brother/wife from Texas flew out, my inlaws + my brother in law drove from Omaha.

They were all careful, wore masks etc.

Entire California family - covid.
My mother in law - covid.
Sister from Alabama went into the hospital from covid/pneumonia (I think she is out now)
BIL who didn't go but dropped of my FIL's dog when they got back and talked for half an hour caught it.

BIL who went and texas couple have had covid in the last few months and didn't catch it. My FIL who is over 70 (oldest of the bunch) and diabetic and thus the only one of the bunch that was eligible for a shot (and only had his first shot until they day after they got back) not only didn't get it but lives with one that has it and is still so far unscathed. They have been back for two weeks tomorrow.
I'm really sorry to hear you've had so many affected by it. So far, my family has had only minor issues. But several friends and former coworkers have been in the hospital over the last few months dealing with it. Hopefully everyone recovers quickly.
 
I like the speed limit analogy;

If we all drove 25 mph, that would pretty much eliminate all fatal accidents. Very inconvenient, but a almost fool proof method to keep everyone alive on the roadways. But this is a free country, we raise the speed limits and take the risk. Some people even take the risk further and go way over the speed limit and try not to get caught. They take the risk, they suffer any consequences and other people doing the speed limit may also get caught up in an accident from someone going over the speed limit. But we all get in our vehicles everyday, we assume all these risks if we want to get somewhere. We are free to choose.

But the covid is different somehow. We are not allowed to think about the risks and make our own decisions on whether to take the risk or not. We are forced to wear masks. Some businesses are forced to close or change their way of doing business. But Walmart stays open with some sort of stupid rules on the number of people allowed in the store at one time.

So far it's our decision whether to take the vaccine or not, but then they may force that on us also. If you want the vaccine, we know there are some risks to taking it, and their may be some risks not taking it. You weigh the risks in your own mind and make the decision. If you want to go watch a ballgame with a bunch of other people, then go get the shot and then show your vaccination card to get in. Or, just don't go to the ballgame. If enough people don't go, then they may change their minds. All about the money you know.
 
Speed limit analogy is fine but I think you missed the point of it
Speed "limits" are set for situations, for everyone's safety
Say 20mph in a neighborhood, and 65mph on a highway
And the speed limits may be temporarily changed, lowered, in a construction zone or school zone, for example
Or there may be a Variable Speed Limit if there is snow or ice on the road
If you chose to exceed the speed limits then you get a ticket

If you chose not to wear a mask in a temporary "mask zone" then you get a ticket
If a store, bar, restaurant, or sports team or arena chooses to violate temporary rules of doing business then they get a ticket

There is no mandatory vaccine, its always a choice, a work place may require it but you can quit
Schools may require it but you don't have to go to that school, its a choice
Many countries require certain vaccines if you want to go there, but you don't have to travel to those countries, its a choice

You don't want people to force you to do something, I get that, but then you would have to except that they don't want you to force them to do something, or not do something because that's want they want

No shirt, no shoes, no service, F*ing commie dictators, lol

Yes, but isn't it totally irresponsible for the government to set the speed limit over 25mph? Someone may get killed, and in fact they do everyday.

But they do mandate and enforce cdc guidelines, even though there is some debate whether they do any good or not. The gov is making choices and stepping on some people's toes. I think this summer will tell the tale. I see already in my area, people are fed up. They are lightening the rules a little bit and people are going for it, they are tired of "playing the game" especially since the vaccine is out. And everyone is getting the vaccine, and the ones who don't keel over from it are getting tired of still having to wear masks.
 
Not quite following but why not just ban all personal vehicles and walk everywhere, better for health and safer

Its a Pandemic, new territory for our generations, but been done before with much less success in past generations
You can debate whether or not something is safe or unsafe or needed or not needed, just human nature to debate things, basically forever, lol

But if you CHOOSE to live in a society that has rules made by elected officials then "thems are the rules", don't like them, run for office, if enough people agree with you then you get elected, then you can change the rules
Or protest the "unfair" rules, I see people doing that now

No one has to wear a mask, or get a vaccine, same as you don't have to wear a shirt or shoes
But other people may think differently, and they may say "well you can't come in here or go there without shirt or shoes.............or mask or vaccine"

I get the impression you don't think the elected officials are doing a good job, which is fine, 49% probably agree with you, but at least 51% don't so...................we have the rules

They are working on that as we post

They seem to making the rules up as they go. Hopefully we can swap the 49% with the 51% and get different rule makers.
 
Yes, I think you will see alot of upcoming elections with platforms that support and oppose masks and vaccines, its the America way
