Or $5k for your grandmother's funeral because you infected her. The choice is yours. It all costs money either way.
I think they just got cheap bottom of the barrel chinese masks. I got a whole stack of 50 surgical masks and I found myself reusing the same 2-3 masks over the past 6 weeks with no issue

There is a flu shot, over the counter medication for the flu, etc. This is a new virus that scientist don't really understand. i wish people will stop comparing this to the regular flu. It isn't. Otherwise, let's just use regular flu medication to heal all Covid19 infected people.

The flu shot is rarely even 50% effective. "Health experts" and all of the bleeting politicians that were screeching about staying home told you that it's ok to gather in the thousands to protest "white supremacy," but you can't go out to eat at a restaurant. How can anyone take this virus seriously anymore?

it's absurd that they are condoning protests while also saying to social distance, wear a mask etc for everything else.

i've never been to to subscribe to political correctness which is all it is.
while i'm not afraid of getting the virus myself, i am afraid of passing on to my grandparents who i am running a lot of errands for. i don't want them going into places with a lot of people like supermarkets.
as much as I love baseball if they were having baseball games now I would not attend.

while I think it's insane the same politicians are forcing people to keep their businesses closed, while allowing protests I am acting as though the protests never happened and doing what I can to keep from getting covid.

The virus doesn't care whether you take it seriously or not.

No, let our C-D doctors guide us

It's almost like free health insurance

nothing wrong with comparing to the flu
  • in the worst year (12 months) with no safety measures 60,000 people die of the flu in the US
  • with massive safety measures & shutdowns 100,000 already died in 3 months from COVID-19


so in that sense alone this is 7 times more deadly that the worst case flu WITH the protection

but go ahead, don't wear a mask and cram into a bar on Miami beach. Whatever works for you

Wow, that sounds scary! I can't wait for all the rioters to inevitably drop dead then. How long would you say until that happens? Maybe 2 weeks?
