    Yep, the bigliest bestest most beautiful and perfect pandemic team response EVER!

    The average American in WWII was not subject to a pandemic, but a common effort against enemies attacking us. You know, like viruses do.

    The point is -- they were willing to give up a whole fucking lot more than you anti-mask/anti-social distancing/anti-mitigation measures than were those ancestors of ours in World War II. Hundreds of thousands even gave up their lives.

    But yeah -- being told to wear a mask is just so painful for you.

    People who "think" like you are why we have the highest death toll and infection numbers per population on this planet.

    Thanks a whole lot.

    Fauci is right. We need to listen to him.

    We are in a war.

    This time it is the humans against a bug.

    All we have to do to win is work together in a coordinated way.

    Rut roh.

    We're toast.

    Americans think their fellow Americans are the enemy. No way Americans are working with fellow Americans toward a common goal.

    We can forget that, thanks to right wing hate media.

    Half the country is intransigent and refuses to believe the news. They think the real news is fake, and make up their own, and it's pretty bizarre. Actually, the more bizarre, the better. They don't want to be informed. They want to be entertained. And if it means hating and blaming liberals, they're all in. That's so much more fun for them than accepting reality.

    The way to stop the virus is by a solid 2-week lockdown. But Americans do not want that to happen. We are going through the Xmas, New years surge. In this America shots are our only way to normalcy.

    You're welcome. Sorry I won't rollover for a medical condition. Working to guilt people is weak minded.

    It's always good to know who the me-first, f-u people are in society. Thank you for identifying yourself. We have met the enemy, and it is you.

    They shouldn't want it to happen. The CDC notes 25 million reported covid cases in the US and 425,000 dead. That's a 1% death rate. Those at high risk should stay home.

    Thank you for your assessment but I'm not me first. What you think of me is irrelevant. Guilt isn't an argument. People in high risk categories should stay home. I am in a high risk group as I am old but I decide where i go and how much I want to expose myself to others. It's a simple think really. The current death rate due to covid is 1%.

    Rate of 1,7 . However, those who suffer long-term disabilities from Corona should scare you too. Many young healthy people so far, cannot return to their normal lives. They have lung, heart or even brain problems that stay with them. https://coronavirus.jhu.edu/data/mortality This is no disease to risk out of stubborn ignorance.

    If you run the CDC numbers it's 1%. Yeah that's a terrible problem of a disease starts by the Chinese. I am risking it not out of ignorance I am risking it out of a greater desire for freedom. I would rather be free than safe. If you would rather be safe than free stay home.

    These numbers? 425,000 / 25,000,000 = 0.017 = 1.7%.
    Or are there other numbers?

    If you're in a position where you risk acquiring it, you're in a position where you risk passing it on.

    Those were the numbers as of this morning.

    Then stay home.
