So it starts to unwind.

Now maybe in their 30s. You dont even know their age, how do you know they were actually healthy?

This is why gossip is one of the sources of evil.

Well, based on their pics in the email, they weren't obese and certainly were young. I mean, they might've had diabetes or something, but they appeared healthy. Do you know anyone who has had Covid? If you did, you'd see how ****ty it is. Even us younger people aren't immune.

But since you know more than epidemiologists about this pandemic, you should get your research peer-reviewed. They'd love to read it.

No we won’t you stupid tampon.

The virus kills .1% of the sickest and oldest people in society. People are realizing this, finally.

Im a PA and ive done telemedicine with about a dozen of them. Ive had to send 2 to the ER I think. None of them were really healthy.

But my anecdotes dont mean anything. Im going by the current statistics.

the ppl complaining about a second wave, do you have a job you work from home from? stfkup - 30+ million in the USA ALONE lost their jobs. they got 1200 bucks, and the unemployment sites are trash.

"we should stay inside until theres a vaccine." easy for u to say.

It actually infuriates me to see people on the governments side - as if more lock-downs are a positive thing. Let people make their own choices. If you want to stay inside, go ahead. But if a bar or a beach wants to open up and people want to go to it, the government has no right to stop them.

The authoritarianism being spread right now is really scary. Way fuking scarier than covid-19 could ever be. Imagine if the government says: 40k people die from car accidents every year and we've determined it's too much of a health risk to drive in adverse conditions so we're making it illegal to drive cars in the rain and snow. How is this any different?

We should honestly lock down forever. The government can just send us all rations and government sponsored media.

Exactly. We were originally told that the lock downs were to flatten the curve in order to buy time for the healthcare system to prepare proper ICU bed space, medical equipment like ventilators, and PPE equipment to meet the demand for a COVID-19 surge. It's been 1.5 months now, and nurses/medical staff across the country are starting to get reduced hours, reduced pay, and laid off because hospitals don't have enough work for them anymore.

Clearly, that should indicate that we're at a point where it's time to start getting back to life as normal. Obviously we should still be more careful with hygiene and protecting the vulnerable, but keeping the economy shut down for even a few more months isn't an realsitic option. What good is slowing down the spread a little longer going to do if the economy tanks beyond reasonable repair and we've got 30-40%+ of people relying strictly on government benefits just to exist? It has been proven time and time again that governments can't sustsain that many people to that extent. They are already struggling to do it even though it has only been a couple months since this chit got started.

Also, does anyone really still believe that COVID-19 only made it to the U.S. by March of 2020? This chit started in China back in November 2019, and travel with Wuhan was still open until like late January if I'm not mistaken. So how can any logical person actually believe this started in March? The virus almost certainly made it to the U.S. by January at the latest, if not December of 2019. Yet the freakout and shut downs were delayed until March. Give me a break.

OP it's real damn easy for you and others like you to **** over businesses, employees, families, and livelihoods when it's not you who isn't suffering badly from these irrational BS shutdowns.

The shutdowns are doing far more harm than the virus itself and it isn't even remotely close.

I am high risk...mostly staying inside but I still take walks and will go to the store here and there. I don't think it makes sense for younger, healthy people to stay inside at this point, though. The virus doesn't just magically go away because you hide in your closet. I can work from home for a long time if I want...that's called a privilege. A lot of people don't have that ability, or even have a job right now. The needs of many should always outweigh the needs of the few. We can't keep doing this until there is a vaccine -- that's probably at the very least not until January, most likely mid 2021. Nobody is going to obey these orders much longer anyway, outside of those who are high risk, of which many will say fuk it anyway.

Fear and control.

It isn't hurting their reelection chances yet since most people are mouth breathing boot lickers who actually like big daddy government putting them on house arrest to save them from the scary virus.

no one is protesting for a haircut.

they're protesting because we have 50,000,000 people out of work and the govt has a blank check to keep it that way. I'm with the protesters. Stay home if you're old or feeble.

the purpose of the lockdown was to prevent the healthcare system from being overwhelmed and building the necessary medical infrastructure (ventilators, hospital beds, hospital boat hospitalss, etc.) in the meantime. now that
- hospitals are practically empty
- 90% people put on ventilators die
- hospital boats arent being utilized
- the US has more hospital beds than needed
- medical staff are having their hours reduced
- the death rate is much lower than initially thought,

it's time for the lockdown to get progressively lifted and re-assessed depending on location, demographics, and medical infrastructure. the economy cannot survive a prolong shutdown

a minority of those were white supremacists. many protesters were protesting while socially distancing (staying 6 to 8ft apart), which is fine.. some weren't, and yes they are dumb. but you are making a gross generalization.

the US is leading the world in testing and has a middle-of-the-pack mortality rate. that is despite the fact that they have a higher obesity rate and that new york, which is extremely dense and populated, is responsible for a disproportionate amount of deaths and cases.

the US has more medical infrastructure per capita than anywhere else in the world. the US is producing more masks than anyone else. trump shut down travel from china back when he was being accused of xenophobia when he did it by idiot libtards like yourself. nobody is dying from not receiving medical care when they need it.

so the US is actually setting the example, unlike our weak leader in Trudeau who is the the worst kind of leader a country can have at a time of crisis

negged for repeating verbatim the fake news that don lemon from fake news cnn gave recently, and trivializing, misrepresenting and failing to understand the reasons behind wanting lockdowns to be progressively lifted

Same. I work in downtown manhattan. I’ve never been around more sick people in my life than in November/December. People coming in coughing like wtf, stay your ass home. The guy who sits directly next to me was out 5 business days with a respiratory infection in December. Somehow I was only out sick 1 day the entire winter.
