My cancers probably going to kill me. So this may be a bit more upfront for me then most, and let me say. Id rather die alone then harm those who I care about, or even random people.
I'm sorry that some on here are attacking you. You have said what you believe and it doesn't deserve snarky remarks, especially not in your case. Wishing you better health.

I don't know how to tell you this, but my cancer is not contagious. LOL. If it was I can assure you folks would REALLY freak out.

But if you mean I die alone because a pandemic is running around? Yeah, thats what happens when you protect others from disease. Thats how its been for thousands of years. People need to toughen up and protect others.

Meh, this is mild. I certainly have not taken offense from it. LOL. Having cancer is like a super power, you get to talk about death a lot more upfront, and you can make cancer jokes.

DeSantis lost my vote if he is the GOP candidate in 2024 if there are no restrictions on visitors. Negative covid test should be required before entering, for the vaxxed and unvaxxed.

You are more than free to require yourself to get a negative covid test before entering a hospital.

The rest of us free-thinking people don't need a bloated, unreasonable, overbearing, disgustingly incompetent government to dictate every part of our lives.

Republicans have always been for smaller government and less regulation. Yet, they are doing just the opposite in their states. Why are they making laws telling people what they can and cannot do.

To counteract the rules that said they had no choice.
