Solid troll? I know you're aren't that smart though, so I'm just going with solid idiot.

That some can actually work very efficiently from home.

Do you think it's also possible to have concern for those dying but still think everything should be opened up?

If I send you a video of my running form, could you correct it and make suggestions? I'm also in the market for a running coach. Think you could shoot me over a sample plan?

That should there ever be a real apocalyptic situation, 90% of the population will die from stupidity and not knowing how to do basic things before I do.

The overwhelming majority of people in both my personal and professional life dont believe any of the hype. They've been acting normal throughout

We are apparently a country of sheeple who are scared of our shadows and not willing to push back on creeping authoritarianism.
Posted on 5/16/20 at 10:12 am to tiggerthetooth
We as a whole are dumb as frick. Most don't understand one lick about how our government is supposed to work, and will believe anything the media says. Not a surprise, but it's just more blatantly obvious during this.

You’re fat, aren’t you?

This, which I said way back at the start of this crap.
Young people just suck at life.

You have people fully on board with 1940's Nazi Germany intrusion (contact tracing). You have some people totally ok with prosecuting and tearing families apart because a lot of us aren't wanting to sit in the fetal position rocking back and forth and sobbing in a deep recess of our home scared to death of a virus. And let's be honest, this virus (at worst) gives a few negative symptoms (like a cold). And that's speaking for over 90% of people who get it. Most people who get the virus simply carry it with no symptoms at all.
I've learned that a lot of people get too much into the business of other people and critique things that really even shouldn't concern them - maybe just be concerned with your own life, and not get wrapped around the axle of others.
But we are willing to drive ourselves deeper and deeper into an economic depression as a trade off to being scared to death of that. Just because it's out there.

Contact tracing has been in practice for decades in studying and fighting infectious diseases. Some of y’all need to put the crack pipe down, and take the tin foil hat off.

It can actually cause permanent damage to the lungs, but yeah just a cold. Some people that have recovered face the rest of their life with An oxygen tank. And I’d say the worst outcome is death.

We will buy stupid shite like toilet paper in an apocalypse
We will turn a pandemic into a political fight
Conspiracy theorist become extremely popular
Hivemind thinking will explode in the event of a pandemic

Jogging is terrible for you. Walking or sprinting is far better exercise and long term better on your joints.

As it should be. Why care about someone who has no impact on your life?

I’ve learned I live across the street from a drug dealer. Every morning from 9:50-10:10 a guy in a Pinto comes right in front of my house and honks his horn that has the tune “la cucaracha”, and my across the street neighbor has some outdoor “exchanges” with the guy. That and the Saturday before last I saw like 12 guys go in and out of this guy’s house separately and only were there for like 3 minutes a piece, which would be strange even when there wasn’t a pandemic. They couldn’t be any more obvious about it.

To be fair that didn’t start and is not limited to the US. The first videos of it came out of Singapore and later Australia

It's possible to both take care of your inner circle while also having concern for strangers and people outside your immediate circle. The callousness people have shown for "just" ~85,000 deaths(and growing) is despicable. Somehow they don't matter to some because they're old or had underlying health problems or some other dehumanizing reason.

What about the tens of thousands who will die from delayed response to other health issues, suicides, substance abuse, domestic violence, etc. due to the COVID response? Do they not count? Never mind the tens of millions who can no longer support themselves or their families.
On a global scale, how about the tens or even hundreds of millions who will be plunged into destitution and literally be at risk of starvation? What about them?
The whole concept of “lives vs. the economy” is fricking moronic. The economy allows people to sustain their lives.
