Just. Epic. Fail. On. All. Counts.

Smoke and mirrors, very. very tiresome.
What a lame post.

I am not the one having problems with logic.

If eating ice cream would prevent infection with SARS-CoV-2, yes, you should campaign for everyone else to eat it.

Comes down to this: Afraid or not afraid to get COVID. It's funny, because people are so quick to say, 'I'm not afraid,' as they wear mask and gloves, stay 10 feet away from everyone else and refuse to go see their family.

But they are NOT afraid. Right?

That's why the question was posed that way.

And I'm not male.
Fear is not a negative emotion or one that should be avoided. It’s your brain’s way of evaluating risk for the purpose of self-preservation.

None of the things you list indicate that someone is afraid. Simply that they are taking reasonable precautions to ensure that they and their loved ones are safe.


Seems to me that it's those who aren't wearing masks who are afraid. Afraid of discomfort, science, the boogeyman...

New normal?
First of all, people see each other's faces before they marry now, lol. I guess if they're living together or it's a small wedding or only them in attendance, they wouldn't see the need for masks.

I'm seeing a trend here that people just don't ever want to go back to normal. It's disturbing.
That's why they keep calling this the "new normal."

It's one way to keep people from forming groups. Any multiple people gathering would be 'reported' and broken up. It's easier to control people if they're in smaller numbers.

Nope, you are moving goal posts, have to change the post so it fits your pro-pharma, pro-vaccine, pro-mandatory vaccination and absolute, 100% stance AGAINST MEDICAL FREEDOM. Because you can't argue the basics. And of course, insert idiotic emoji because you can't use words.

Yet another epic fail of smoke and mirrors. Tiresome, tiresome, tiresome.

Unless they are doing what the government wants ... and in that case, group gatherings are allowed. I mean, they said it was OK to gather in huge groups if it was a specific type of protest only. Can't protest against what you would like, just this one ideology.

And of course, there is not ONE case of COVID from any of the looters/rioters/protestors ANYWHERE across the entire USA. None.

Not ONE case. It's a medical miracle. Really and truly.

I'm not afraid of the Covid -19 virus. I survived a nasty cancer, I don't have many things left on the bucket list, and the actual death rate vs infected rate is pretty low. That doesn't mean that I want to try my luck and catch it either.
