You mean those of us that care about ourselves and others ? then yes and no we do not think that it is akin to killing someone.... take a breath

 

You're only going to get the "you don't care about others" crowd to comment on this. To them, going outside without a mask, even disagreeing with the mask control but still wearing one, is akin to whipping out a 45 and putting 1 between the eyes and 2 in the chest. You can't convince them otherwise. The evidence is in the replies.

I still believe, despite any evidence to the contrary, that the ONLY way to avoid COVID-19 is by taking it upon yourself to stay away from sources of the infection, which right now seems to be just about everything. UV lights to sterilize deliveries left outside your door before opening, UV lights to sterilize the contents, and other biohazard mesaures, taken by the person or persons wanting to avoid COVID-19. Anything less and there is a chance of exposure.

I won't be using those measures, but I will be wearing a mask and washing my hands often, as requested by any establishments I visit. If you really want to avoid infection, I'll never see you.

 

Yes. But there are solutions that we can strive for that keep the economy open while minimizing the impacts.

Many countries have beat it down to where they can open the economies fully. Australia, Thailand, Finland, Hungary, Malaysia, Niger, Norway, Slovakia, Slovenia, Taiwan, China, Japan and South Korea.

I do not agree with your implied belief that we should let it run amok and overrun the hospitals.

 

FREE FLIGHTS, FREE FLIGHTS, FREE FLIGHTS!!!

I am willing to pay for free flights to @jimeve's Party in Manila. He has agreed to provide accommodation AND BEER!

Should he not be able to do so, then my free offer is cancelled. It will be June 8th, no 16th, no 23rd, no 24th, no 29th, no 31st.

This is so confusing for you all and you are not used to that ... sorry. I need to fix a date and stick to it.

29th February 2021.

At the risk of "beating a dead horse," I'll throw in a couple comments. (you have to be over 60 to understand that politically incorrect phrase):

Every forum of which I am a part (half a dozen or so), require everyone to be respectful of others. ("You will not attack others--even if you strongly disagree with their views.") Keep your comments focused on the issue, not the poster.

"Misinformed" is a very strong word. As I've always said, you can always find a blog somewhere on the internet to back your position. "Facts" may, at one point in the past, been the latest information, but later proved incorrect. It's a simple matter to direct the poster to the latest research.

"Trolling," of which I have been accused when discussing politics (not here), is a fine line, for which the moderator must use his discretion carefully, and usually does. Admins are hard working, and we should respect their decision. If you are accused of "trolling" often, you might re-evaluate your posts' wording.

You might consider restricting your posts to "controversial subjects," which I believe was set up for "ranters" and "semi-trollers."
