Why are people bothered when you fail to wear a mask, or attend an indoor gathering?
Nothing to do with whether you "obey". We don't glare at you for jaywalking, after all.
By refusing to follow basic public health advice, you increase the overall prevalence of the virus. You're placing all of us in a viral environment.
Avoiding you does not solve the problem. The problem is not the direct risk from you to me today.
The problem is the overall amount of virus in the community. And, whenever we make progress, an self-absorbed minority keeps throwing a lifeline to a plague that really ought to be dead by now.

Follow basic public advice? You mean like masks in which they don't actually know they work?
Or them saying even after getting a vaccine don't go out because they don't know?
The onus is on them to KNOW these things before making advice. They shouldn't be restricting things if they really don't know what they are talking about.
It's called Flu A and Flu B Gracie
Hey Daddy of 4, this is the true solution. Clean up what's inside the body & soul first and live a clean & pure life on earth and you will have true abundance. Earth is a planet marked for life, not death, war, division, hate race bait & even more destruction with fear as the weapon of evil. What are you so afraid of sir? I'm down to 182 btw. I say this with a smile of accomplishment and some boasting, but boasting only to inspire every person who doesnt have crush ignored to flat out change. I swear if you eat Veggie, Fruits, nuts and salads, you will lose a ton of toxic waste around the waste line and root chakra area. My triple chin is no more. I have six pack of abs now too. I weigh way less now then when I got married. When one changes like me, then the wifey notices that her man is a changed man and things get HOT!!! Remember, HOT=Honest, Openness and Transparency. Dad, you are as cold as ice and that is a scary place to be bro. Seriously, as a pal from socal, dont be caught COLD handed.
It’s not even dead in Australia and New Zealand or Israel for that matter. The closer we get to this being over the more extreme your positions seem to be getting.
Depends on the virus. They aren’t all the same. I’ve seen a lot of colds. Never met smallpox.
Look at the prescriptions from your side. No masks, no vaccines, do all business in person, open everything. Are there any anti-viral measures you don’t oppose?
The annoying part is, if 20% of the country believes your nonsense, then there isn’t anything the rest of us can do to get rid of this disease. You guys will act as a resevior.
"get rid of"....so your goalpost is now at zero COVID as the goal?
The goalpost, as always, is sustained R<1.
Not quite the same as eradication, as we are both aware. But both fall into the category of "getting rid of" the virus.
Or "getting rid of" those who lost 37 lbs in 12 months and think differently and have zero fear of death?
Took roughly 13 months, but even CNN is now starting to understand that a healthy lifestyle can reduce the impact of this “deadly disease” (not my words or those of the extremes right media outlets....)

A few gems:
- The Kaiser Permanente study, published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, looked at nearly 50,000 adults with Covid-19. The research found that those who met the target of the US Department of Health and Human Services' physical activity guidelines -- of at least 150 minutes per week of moderate to vigorous physical activity -- showed significantly lower incidences of hospitalization, ICU admission and death due to Covid-19 illness.
- With all those benefits regular movement brings, it may not be that surprising that physical activity meeting these guidelines also would lessen the severity of symptoms of Covid-19. Indeed, acute Covid illness is just one of the many potential negative impacts of sedentary behavior, a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke and some cancers.
To date, the risk factors for severe Covid-19, as identified by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, include being of advanced age, being male, and having underlying comorbidities, such as diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease.
Many of the listed risk factors are difficult — if not impossible — to mitigate, so it's understandable if you feel powerless in the face of some of them. However, the results of this new study could, arguably, add inactivity to the top of that list.
Reduce risk of severe Covid-19 with regular activity, study says
Physical inactivity is strongly associated with more severe Covid infection and a heightened risk of dying from the disease, found a large US study published online in the British Journal of Sports Medicine. Here's how to get more active, with just 22 minutes of daily movement.

Well, with 40% of marines having refused the vaccine, the number of vaccine reluctant probably going up after J&J, people ready to move on from the restrictions now that soon almost everyone who wants a vaccine having gotten it, emergency authorization label still on the vaccines, children under 16 still ineligible, new variants that can break through the vaccines (however rare), even the mRNA vaccines not 100% effective, the border crisis (actually we seem to have 2 problem borders now for COVID) and most of the world not reaching substantial vaccination levels until 2022, it's going to be a tough haul. Or we can worry about deaths and serious illnesses instead of cases.....
Listen up to those crippled with fear and those who practice fear to their little ones. WTHUP!!! Stop eating all that red meat & red wine and stop acting like you read up on everything about this BS virus that you know nothing about. The gig was always up and the sheepish are always going to be sheepies. I'm hear to WTF up to the sleeping Lions who have been napping on the job. Lukewarm Lions are stupid and lazy and not using their strengths for good. Not too late to get healthy and join the fight. Time to wake up girls and boys. Game on!!!
No.
With 95% effective vaccines, there is plenty of flexibility for individuals to refuse the vaccine. The country will get to herd immunity with or without putting a needle in crush.
Congrats on the weight loss. That isn’t easy to do.
O.K. this is a bit of a conspiracy theory, but it does kind of make you go hmmm.....a poster known as Ethical Skeptic has, based on the latest WHO news that there were several variants (15) already in circulation in January 2020 has been speculating that China has had a low level outbreak since the winter of 2018. He points to the fact that it is unlikely that multiple variants could quickly develop from an emerging virus, along with that in 2018 China seems to have had an economic event that led to lower cell phone subscribers, a drop in Co2 and economic prosperity, and some secondary events in key Chinese trading partners and what seem to be high levels of immunity in those partners. Why hasn't it been noticed before? Because it potentially mutated along the way into something more severe. Again, total conspiracy theory but one that does make you go "hmmm".

If those measures work for 80% of the folks that believe your fact-less nonsense the 20% should be wiped out in no time. Problem solved. If the 20% is not wiped out, guess who the reservoir is?
Instead the media message was that we should hide in our homes.Took roughly 13 months, but even CNN is now starting to understand that a healthy lifestyle can reduce the impact of this “deadly disease” (not my words or those of the extremes right media outlets....)

OK so I gave Fauci the benefit of for a long time, but he said this morning the pause on the J&J vaccine would give people more confidence in the vaccine when it resumes. Yeah, may be in the mind of those that live in a medical bubble, but couldn't be farther from the truth for the general public. He is clueless. Any Covid public policy duties he may still have should be removed. STAT.
