Best Posts in Thread: Social Distancing...

Fauci gives sound advice with the known facts of the day. He is in a position that requires common sense precautions to be advised with the limited information of the day. This is not his first go around with this type of criticism. What people are saying today is almost word for word of what was being said about him during the AIDS pandemic in the 80s. People criticising him then sound just as idiotic as those criticising him today. He isn't manipulating the data, he is giving advice off of currently known data. Any data manipulation is much more likely coming from those politicians currently in power, not from a guy that has been the director of the NIAID since 1984. No matter how badly the current administration would like to blame their incompetence on him that just isn't the reality. The man has reached the top of his field for a reason and it had nothing to do with party lines. I have far more respect for him than any POS politician (regardless of political party) ever will. I think the only reason Fauci gets pushed out is because he is ready to retire (he is nearly 80 years old) or is tired of the treasonous cowards in the Democratic and Republican parties.

Scientists can change their opinions when new information is presented and confirmed to be true, sh*tbag politicians cannot change theirs. Truly disgusting human beings politicians are. If anyone is manipulating data there is a 99.999999% chance it is a f'n politician.

 

The under 21 group shouldn't be restricted since there is next to zero chance of dying from COVID-19 for them. But I don't really care where anyone goes, just as I don't care where people with full blown AIDS or anyone else with a weakened immune systems goes. If they catch something that is their problem, not mine. Their disability/misfortune, their problem.

If someone lives with a high risk person then perhaps they should take extra precautions to protect their loved ones or employer, or not, I don't care, not my problem. If you have elderly parents or grandparents that live alone maybe help them out, or not, I don't care, not my problem. If an elderly person lives alone and has no family to assist them try asking the government, a church or a fraternity group for support, or not, I don't care, not my problem.

 

Seems that many want the young and healthy to stay indoors so they can go out and enjoy themselves. Their (the elderly) fragility, sicknesses and disabilities should not be our (people in the low risk category) burden to bear. Sure, everyone should take the basic precautions - social distancing, masks and hand washing - but that is where it should end.

 

The more data we gather the less scary this disease becomes...at least for those of us that aren't in high risk categories. People are reacting accordingly since most of us don't fall into these categories (the elderly and sick). If you are in one of these high risk categories (or unsure if you fall into one of them) then you shouldn't be going out. You shouldn't even know if restaurants are packed or not.
