So you can justify people losing their businesses and livelihoods over something that the vast majority of people have no ill effects from? The rest can self isolate and take precautions. So why force the lock downs?
Pa news had a story that they're alarmed that children testing positive for Covid has jumped dramatically( of course, now that they're being tested the cases will be much higher but MSM reporting is what it is). Then they also mentioned that in the vast majority of cases children don't have serious cases and that it's very rare they do.
You test positive for it but have no symptoms. So... it's not serious? Or you can still infect others. But this is airborne so its going to everywhere until everybody's caught it and then have immunity. Which is exactly what's happening in the East Coast and will happen in the South and West in a few months.
And the death toll numbers are so poorly reported. One day in Pa there were no deaths. Then the next day there were 31. A few days ago there were 3, then 5, then 17 then 1. Maybe they wait to report over the weekends?
I had this virus back in April. Would I still test positive? A coworker had the test and she said the bill was $800. Yikes. Even with a co pay and deductible, no way am I getting a test.

Not everyone has to observe something, for it to be scientifically proven, dysgenic.
Here's the thing. I often refuse to do things people say I "should". I don't clean my contacts or use contact wetting solution, and I've been wearing contacts since I was a teenager. I don't lock my car or my house. I don't wear sunscreen unless I'm at the beach and then it's only on on my nose. I don't let my car warm up before I start driving. Until just recently, I've never worn seatbelts.
But all those things involve dangers to ME, and my stuff, not dangers to others.
When my behaviors can possibly harm others, and I won't be the one absorbing the risk, I'm much more careful.
I wear a mask, because maybe it's true, that this virus can be largely curtailed that way, and I don't want to be responsible for having harmed anyone else.

Agreed. COVID 19 is so insanely dangerous that you have to be tested to even know if you have it.

So you are not sick, and wearing a mask will protect others from you.
