Dude. Ixnay on the Illaryhay. Do you want us all to get infected with suicide?

At restaurants and grocery stores, anyone with a BMI over 20 can’t buy certain foods.

I’m ok with this, but I’d rather not use BMI but rather body fat %

- Raise the legal driving age to 21 and have licenses expire at 65. Also only allow essential workers to drive at all. The rest have to use public transportation.

frick this noise. Especially in the younger range. I’d be ok with the upper age limit being raised, but I really don’t like this.

quote:

---

Ban sale of cigars and cigs completely

Just don’t socialize health care with taxes and this wouldn’t matter.

quote:

---

- Must visit primary care doc once a year or face a tax penalty. Twice a year for 50 and older.

Not a bad idea at all. Also as you get older require vision and reaction screening. Once you get a % off your baseline you get your DL revoked. I’d much rather this than an arbitrary age cut off.

quote:

---

- No more large venue events during flu/cold season.

---

No. Just no

- ban and confiscate all guns
- ban consumption of red meat
- ban all opioid pain meds
- require everyone to exercise 1 hour 5 time per week.

Each of the above would save more lives than the current covid measures will save.

quote:

---

No more large venue events during flu/cold season.

for the months of September -January “large venue” is defined as a single building that holds over 800,000 people.
anything smaller is exempt.

Would you believe anything a used car salesman tells you? You d do well to look at your doctor the same way. The first thing they think about is ( billing & income ) 2 nd ? Can I get another visit from him ? Last is your actual health. Next one in line.

Cigarette smoking is responsible for more than 480,000 deaths per year in the United States, including more than 41,000 deaths resulting from secondhand smoke exposure. This is about one in five deaths annually, or 1,300 deaths every day. On average, smokers die 10 years earlier than nonsmokers.

2)The response to covid after killing tens of thousands of Americans?

I choose 3. The Response to covid before 100 Americans were killed.

creation of an entire surveillance apparatus

it wasn’t created. It was expanded.

Most wars were started over much, much less.

There were virtually no restrictions in place for anyone before 100 people were killed by covid.

Wrong. The shutdowns began on March 13th. I remember the day vividly because I was in Nola going to see a comedy show before it was canceled 45 minutes prior to starting. From wiki on that day:

quote:

The United States confirmed 612 new cases, bringing the total number to 2,816. One of the cases was 24-year-old Christian Wood of the Detroit Pistons.[595][596] Eleven more deaths were reported, bringing the total number to 60
