COVID-19 - On the Ground

[MICHHAWK]

i rode in a car the other day with 2 other people. i wonder what the "conscience of America" will say about that.

It's the "having 15 people in your enclosed house" that causes the problem. Aren't we more than 18 months into this? Are you still unsure how this virus gets passed? JFC.

Aren't we 18 months into this and you're suggesting having people over to your house is a problem

The point being that there are a lot of people out there who claim they are doing what needs to be done but really aren't. Things seem to be calming down a bit these days as vaccination rates continue to climb.

That and the natural course of a virus leads to things calming down too

Shameful. I've done lots of things of things with lots of people. Because life is too short to let selfish people convince anyone they should miss out on experiencing their life because covid exists

Some people choose to error on the side of caution, some choose to error on the side of negligence.
Problem is I don't 100% know if/when I am "erring" or not.
Do you?

Humans are social creatures. Its a basic fundamental of our existence. There is nothing wrong with being overly cautious and locking yourself away with home, but there is nothing wrong with just existing and continuing to live your life either

Rabies still has the same lethality rate its always had if left untreated.

HIV has not become less virulent over time if untreated.

Ebola has not become attenuated over time.

Smallpox didn't calm down until it was eradicated by vaccine.

Secondary Immunity is adaptive and improves after the first exposure, but viruses don't become less virulent unless it improves their rate of infection to do so.

If that’s the case, I’d think you would wanna do everything you can to keep up your johnson

I'm not trying to express what I feel is and isn't true with you personally but in regards to your sentiment, there could be A LOT wrong with "being overly cautious and locking yourself away with home" and/or "just existing and continuing to live your life" in regards to how people have responded to Covid and the real, assumed, and fake risks.

You guys are all going to feel really fucking stupid when a comet hits the planet and none of this even mattered

And many thousands of people who feed at the same bullshit trough as you do, won't feel anything, because they'll be in the ground.

Cue 11 posts stating "Actually I'm not emotional. I'm the only one here who isn't emotional. I can't be obsessed because I keep an open mind by ignoring data. I once got kissed by a girl. I'm healthy. 99% of dumb is dumb shit. A coin flip is 50/50 so a bird in the hand, therefore you can predict a dice 1% of the time. Hitler killed people and now Biden is Hitler. I'm not overreacting, I'm just ignoring the fact that covid19 is tranmissible. The government is watching you via the vaccine. I am deathly afraid of vaccine. I am vaccinated, did it for a loved one. It's stupid to not get vaccinated to save others since the virus is a virus and viruses do virus stuff. Immune system strong, immune system smash!"

0.0014% of people bitten by venomous snakes in the US die (about 7 in 5,000)

i guarantee randy would want antivenom

So the question also becomes, what amount of but mah rights is worth watching your soft tissue rot away and your bitten limb fall off?

"Wrong, those snakes won't matter when Yellowstone erupts. Therefore nothing that happens today matters, except it matters enough for me to post about the things I say aren't important 95 times per day."

"You know snake antivenom was made by bill gates, and it's just these corrupt politicians who are in the pocket of big snake that want you to take antivenom cause its actually mind control, you'd know that if you had an open mind about things."

That reminds me of a joke.

Two doods were out in the woods one day when one of the guys gets bit by a rattlesnake…on the johnson.

The other guy runs up the hill to get cell phone service, and calls the doctor to ask if there’s anything he can do. Doc says, oh that’s an easy one, he should make a full recovery if you just put your mouth up to the bite wound and suck the venom out.

The guy runs back. “Sorry buddy, but doc says there’s nothing I can possibly to to help…”
