Sure have your opinion. Community issue? Yeah if by community you mean your own home. The reaction to the virus is affecting more people negatively than those who actually get it. This fat seems lost on your ilk.

It would be great if the virus discriminated like that.

I don't care about the snowflake tantrums over holidays and masks I care about medical workers and sick people.

So true. Lots of people, including more vulnerable older ones, are eagerly willing to risk that if they come down with covid that it will at worst only be a mild and brief illness requiring no professional medical attention.

CDC now advising against travel for Thanksgiving

Sorta makes sense. Any step in the right direction is a good move.

When this is all over people will really appreciate being together.

We get lots of choices: wearing seat belts, going for health screenings, exercising, eating well, etc. Each choice relates to the individual issue.

With a global pandemic, the choice to prolong one's life includes wearing a mask, avoiding unnecessary contact with others, washing hands and basic cleanliness. It may not be 100% effective, but neither are seat belts etc.

Well, you do own your self, no?

As long as you don't violate the rights of others hide under the bed, inject yourself with Covid, blow your head off, etc.

Enjoy.

Correct analysis so this means every single government employee needs to be told to step off regardless of letter by their name, no?

And that goes for their demands on Covid, how many guns I can have, how high my fence can be on my property, no?
