    It's that kind of selfish attitude, why millions will die from poverty and starving and wars, but hey there is a 2% chance if could kill your old man, likely ontop of a 10% chance he'll die this year anyway, but hey lets just screw up the entire world for everyone.

    Snowflakes, should not be listened to.

    Touchy subject.

    People are hurting. They want to go out and make that $3000 a month. But when they do, they will probably get the C and end up with a hospital bill that's multiples of that or worse.

    This is probably the best time in history to socialize medicine. Whether that is the correct thing to do is another debate.

    Such a small amount will need hospital care 0.5% maybe, for most of us ( me + 20mates with symptoms and the 60 with no symptoms ) it's a nothing.

    There is a lot of fear mongering and disinformation spread by fake news liberal media. Remember so called experts saying do not wear masks? Yet, doctors and nurses wear masks as protection? Now, granted it is not 100% protection but, a lot of nurses and doctors died because there was not adequate protective equipment and I am talking worldwide. Look at South Korea and Japan, low infection rates, low death rates compared to most countries. What did they do differently? Everyone in those countries are wearing masks, reducing infections and therefore, reducing deaths as well. It is not rocket science people but, people have lost their common sense. More falsehoods, liberal media said heat does not kill the Corona Virus. Remember that? Consider India which has 1 billion population and very dense that people are very close to each other so, infections should be plentiful and deaths even more so, right? India has a much lower infection and death rate than the US. Let that sink in. Again, what did they do differently? Nothing really except, India is a very hot and humid country. A recent article, came out now saying that heat does kill the Corona Virus? Duh.
    Now, to opening the economy. Remember keeping 6 feet away and social distancing? That is fine but, when you are outdoors, do you know that your risk for infection is at its lowest? You are outside, you have the wind blowing any viruses and germs and dissipating it, wearing a mask and social distancing, your chances of catching the Corona Virus is slim to none. Again, just common sense. Compare that to hospitals, cruise ships, airliners, convalescent homes, all enclosed areas. Now, there is no wind to dissipate the Corona Virus in those areas so, if you get hit, you will get the worst symptoms as the Corona Virus droplets you get will be plentiful and make you very, very sick. So, is it a wonder that so many people get sick in hospitals, cruise ships, airliners, convalescent facilities? Airconditioning merely, circulates the Corona Virus all around those facilities so, raises your risk levels. "Wear a mask, wash your hands often, take a hot bath after you return from the grocery store or pharmacy, use hand sanitizer, open your windows in your rooms to flush out any viruses and germs trapped inside. That is your best move to protect yourself and your family. Ignore the idiots in liberal media."

  7. My take it should be smart and weighted decisions. You seams only will listen yourself and only.
    Btw I never told we should sit home. My point we have to think and make smart move and do not be clueless.

    Without enough testing how do you know the risk? Reopen with people that are healthy enough to survive the virus and that will increase herd immunity. Less healthy people could shelter until a vaccine is ready and send them $1200 monthly.

    But your obviously not smart, not capable of making weighted decisions, but millions of scared little you sheep are demanding that wayyyy more harm for very little lives saved, to be done.

    More lives are being lost from the Lockdown than the lockdown is saving from the virus in the UK, do you not understand this ??


    You are literally KILLING PEOPLE while achieving very little or maybe even nothing.

  10. Republican convention should be rescheduled to May. This will truly own the libruls. If too many get COVID, that is minor sacrifice to get "herd immunity" for all of us.
