We should also stop comparing it to the flu. MANY people go years without getting the flu shot, so if someone died from the flu, it is possible that they didn’t get the shot.

There is no shot for corona.

I'll give them the benefit of the doubt, they are thinking as an operator of the system.

There won't always be an economy to placate the system for all members of the state but there will be more people born in the state to replace the ones left behind.

It's a morbid philosophy and when trying to justify your point with many vs the majority you get into these talking points.

It's the old hypothetical of which parent to save if a train is coming down the track bound to hit one of them.

People are misled with two choices in a multiple option scenario. Stop the train.

Because it is simple: there are a lot of stupid people in this world, or more accurately those that lack critical thinking skills. Either because a lack of training from their parents, lack of mental acuity or just a low i.q. people form or adopt viewpoints that do not mesh with reality.


This has nothing to do with low IQ, but everything to do with emotional/social conditioning to be completely self absorbed and disregard anything you have to sacrifice for welfare of the greater community

Healthy young people arent dying from the coronavirus. But they arent about to work through it like a cold either


Yes they will..... I am almost certain I had that shyt in December after traveling for a week...... Hadn't had a cold in 5 years....... but this shyt kicked my ass....... felt that shyt in my lungs...... didn't miss a day of work since I had some PTO time over the holidays..... I even had to buy some cough medicine and some antihistamine type shyt....(old lady bought it) I've never bought cold medicine as an adult.... the few colds I've had as an adult have been dealt with in a few days just by sweating it out and resting..... this shyt I had 3 months ago was mad different..... didn't miss a day of work tho...

The only reality that matters is the one in which a virus that is sweeping the world threatens to kill millions. This virus doesn’t give a fukk about macroeconomics. :yeshrug:

All you really can do is control your actions to minimize your risk.

Bruh, enough with that "I got CV last year" shyt.

All of the sudden everyone had a strange illness last year :gucci:

shyt was barely off the meat market in December.

I had a weird ass illness last year too. Worst sore throat ever, tested negative for strep mono and the flu. Sometimes you just get weird bugs. Doesnt mean its corona.

So are you are willing to accept the consequences those being death of some your love one or possibly even your own death?
You can’t go in into lock down for 18 months. It’s unreasonable to expect a majority healthy population is going to willingly put themselves (sometimes solitary) into isolation. Mental health issues would be through the roof, economy in the tank and then what are you lift with if they find a vaccine? A bunch of people who don’t know how to act and a destroyed country. All we can do is do our best to navigate the virus, year give the HC system the couple weeks it needs to ensure it could handle more capacity but after that you gotta let some people try and get out there and most likely the majority overcome this thing with no complications and probably create a better understanding for doctors. This thread starter was talking about binary thinking, black an white when really thats what he’s doing. He likes X so he thinks O is wrong and thinking wrong just like O thinks he’s wrong. There’s really nothing but parroting from both sides.

Where are you getting 18 months from? And what exactly are you trying to say in the bolded? It isn’t clear to me what you mean when you say “but after that you gotta let some people try and get out there”.

Define some people, and what you envision about them getting out there.

Another question: are you an expert on the virus? Or you even in a position to make a suggestion about how it should be handled let alone your statement that most people will overcome this with no complications, if we were to cease the quarantine? If not.... *sigh*
