There is no justification for going after innocent people and destroying, looting and burning businesses. You say you don’t care until it happens to you. My stance on covid is simple. It’s there and it ain’t gonna go away so we must deal with it. Or better said one must deal with it and manage risk. If you are past the age limit or have a pre condition, stay home and wait for the vaccine. Stay away from everybody else or come out at your own risk well protected. Leave the majority or the rest of us alone. For the rest of us it’s just the flu and it’s not worth all the damage that is being done to middle class families. Kids can’t play soccer cause we are trying to protect some old man who should be protecting himself by staying home. Take your socialism bull shit out of here. We are not all equals. If you have pre conditions cause of what you eat or ingest, that’s on you and it’s your problem not mine. We can’t stop car accidents from happening but we don’t take away everyone’s right to drive. If you don’t put your seat belt on or drive carelessly it’s on you.

You also have the right to not follow put on your seatbelt, but you do it because it's the law and you'll get fined if you don't. You have chosen a side because the gap in policy and leadership allows you to. You are mad at me because I've chosen the side of public health and common sense that is being practiced in practically every country in the world that has shown leadership on this topic. And you're also making up a lot of stories about me and are 100% incorrect. I just don't tell everyone that I can do what I want when I want and spread disinformation because the forum allows me to.
There’s no justification for not doing your part not to spread C19. When you fail to do so, you are “going after other people” far more than when you throw a brick through a window.
Regardless, @MSK357 specifically said we have the right to not give a s**t about other people. So screw them and their businesses, right? But, like I said earlier, if 400,000 people dying of C19 is not a big deal, .006 percent of that is nothing.

Covid has been around for less than a year. That picture will look a lot different in a year. But, you're short sighted. Thank you for proving that.
Fixed it for you.

im not mad at all, its on local leadership to enforce the laws. blame your governor. Not every state is in the same position. no need to set a "law" at the federal level.

EOTL doesnt want to admit health officials literally said COVID doesnt have to be the cause of death to be listed as a COVID death. He apparently believes everyone listed as a COVID death died from COVID.

Nice cut/paste. Uh, being former military? Who are you talking about?I think the fact that trump restricted travel in january 31st and created the coronavirus task force, while his expert was saying this in late February is impressive:
Top disease official: Risk of coronavirus in USA is 'minuscule'; skip mask and wash hands
Should I wear a mask? The U.S. infectious disease chief says no: "In the U.S. there is absolutely no reason whatsoever to wear a mask right now."www.usatoday.com
Once again our other choice (Joe Biden) said he wouldn't have restricted travel initially and called trump xenophobic for doing it. Now he admits it was a good call. So I'm choosing the president with better decision making skills. We all know how our democrat leadership has and would have made it worse like pelosi and deblasio in february telling people to come out in large crowds to chinatown.
Other than that, tax reform. Lower taxes is great for people and businesses. It creates more jobs here in the states which resulted in the lowest unemployment we had in 50 years for all every man, woman, and race until covid hit.
First step act, helping to correct the racist crime bill that disproportionately put people of color in prison. A bill that Joe Biden literally wrote and did nothing to fix after decades in politics.
Being former military he has funded our defense department allowing us to gain control after the gains we lost to isis during obama and Hilarys rein.
I'm pro life and pro school choice which biden is against. After all he prevented busing people of color to rich white schools. He's on record saying he didnt want his white kids growing up in a racial jungle.
I can continue if you'd like but I think you get the point.

It's not about laws. It's taking what the CDC says seriously and using common sense and not telling everyone else that the problem doesn't exist. Why not just start there?
You should really read and interpret some of the data the CDC puts out if you feel that way Francis. Or just continue to listen to politicians, the news (absolutely CNN for you), and using your common sense. Hope you’re cozy under the covers.

I'm glad all those people who worked with you are still among the living. Did any of the 9 have symptoms? The people who I know that got Covid and had symptoms felt like they were going to die. Are you aware of those who have long term health affects from this virus? Can you definitively say that, unlike the normal flu, people who get Covid don't all just recover and return to normal life? Since you don't know the answer because this pandemic has been around less than a year, what is the value of you telling everyone else who you are living during this pandemic when others are suffering either form the virus itself or its affect on society? And why is this a man up thing? You think somehow that your machismo will kill the virus? We already have seen enough of those who were proven wrong on that.

Now I understand. You don't listen to politicians, you know more than all of them.
I would venture to guess we all know more than some. Even you and me. Have you seen and heard some of these people? Don’t have to be smart to win a popularity contest, be rich, or successful. Does help though.
Im not saying any of that Francis. Never have. I’m saying we approach it differently. That’s ok. People have different perspectives - many divergent from yours and mine. You seem to have a real problem with that. Just lighten up.
I will use “My Machismo will kill the virus”...I think it is funny and will give you full credit.

On this we can agree. My point is, our access to information is limited and those in highest office know a lot more than us and have continued to provide misinformation that has and will continue to add to the death count, unnecessarily. This is a public health emergency. People are suffering all around us despite the fact that we can complain that our kids can't play soccer at the level they could a year ago. It's going to get worse in the fall and it's going to make the naysayers even more frustrated when the schools and restaurants are restricted again. We need to be fighting this virus at the federal level where all the resources are, and practicing common sense at the local level. Toughing it out, manning up is following the science chilling out until it ends, however much it sucks.

I only want to take full credit if you live through it. Don't try to prove me wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion but no thanks !!!
It would appear that job is now a full time job and I don’t spend that much time on this forum.
Which is why I was hoping we could get the personal attack posts back to the off topic section and focus on informative, civil soccer topics in this section . But it appears that’s not in the near future. Fine with me .
I do find it ironic that some of these posters who talk about respecting others don’t practice what they preach . And the way they approach it you would think this forum alone has the power to determine the fate of the USA . The off topic section is where they can go to fantasize , debate , argue , cuss and name call to their hearts content .
