I shouldnt say this but I dont fucking care anymore because if we arent already in hell we are certainly all going there soon - I hope every single COVID denier gets COVID, just so you can see that its real, its bad, and your fucked - enjoy the lung scarring.
To the people doing what they can to survive and make this shit easier, thank you.
To the essential workers whom have to deal with the scummiest most ignorant people in the country, Thank you for everything you do and deal with.

Ignorance may be bliss... but it also means you have no clue what the fuck your talking about.
No no no, not the whole thread! I would say maybe 30%, and it's mostly people who are full of outrage and they say stuff like I hope you die of covid or I hope your whole family gets it and you have to bury them, and then there's people who want to inflict specific wounds, like hope you get brain damage or lung scarring.

You should quit your job as soon as possible. It's going to give you PTSD (I'm not health professional, just an auteur, but I believe it has already started). You think I'm being facetious but your job is best performed by sociopaths who can just mouth the right words and go about their day.

there are like 1000 covers of the song "wicked game" by Chris Isaak and most of them are pretty good. I suggest enjoying them to anyone.

All I want people to do is wear a fucking mask and take some simple precautions, like maybe don't crowd into a bar for a while then go visit your elderly grandparents. It's entirely plausible that some of us can make it until they develop a vaccine without getting this. Not good for the economy but neither is being ravaged by a virus which has a small but non-negligible random chance of either:

1. Killing you
2. Damaging your brain and/or peripheral nerves
3. Damaging your lungs
4. Using you to get to someone vulnerable

To those of us who subscribe to Jesus's teachings, killing somebody else through your greed, selfishness, or carelessness is as wrong.

Though this virus is typically mild, it is must worse than the flu. It has a much higher chance of picking a random, otherwise healthy person and simply detonating one or more of their organs or clotting their blood and causing strokes or vascular dementia.

the part about this that I find terrifying is how you've somehow turned people who aren't afraid of the virus and/or don't want to wear a mask into selfish killers? way to generalize in the most ignorant way possible.

the truth and irony here, is YOU ARE being selfish by expecting someone else to adhere to YOUR idea of health and safety protocols. Not mine, yours.
Maybe I think breathing in Co2 all day is detrimental to my health and safety?
why does your fear and concern over this virus now over ride my ability to make my own choices for my own health?
if you're so concerned, then you can wear the mask and protect yourself.
forcing others to wear masks so YOU feel better is fucking asinine and 1000% wrong.
Why are you projecting your views and beliefs onto someone else?

0% chance if I got it that it'd killed me or most people.

Odds are I had it and experienced no symptoms, again like most people (99.94%).

Quaruntine the elderly and those with serious health issues, absolutely, but this shit is 10x over.

We need serious class action lawsuits and licenses revoked over falsely reporting this stuff.

so while you think you need to white knight the entire public for the 'greater good' because your scientists over at the CDC told you the 'truth' -- other people may not share your beliefs as truth and that used to be OK in America. We start treading into some sketchy territory when we start forcing beliefs and ideals down one anothers throats...
Ideas have merit. Some ideas are better than others. My idea of health and safety protocols is objectively better than yours because it is backed by evidence. I'm not sure what the CO2 comment is about or if you have any background in physiology but we literally breathe CO2 in and out all day every day, it's in our blood, our blood is buffered, and we have homeostatic mechanisms to regulate the CO2 we breathe far in excess even of what you erroneously think is being trapped by a mask. Unless you are literally hitting your VO2 max walking up stairs, in which case you shouldn't even be leaving your house with a pandemic respiratory disease about, masks have no effect on your respiration. Masks do far more to protect other people than they do to protect the wearer, which is why it is so important everyone wears one to decrease the aggregate infectiousness of the virus.

You signed away some small part of your ability to make your own choices when you were born into a social contract with everyone else in society; it's the same contract that says you can't drive drunk or shit in the water supply when the rest of society decides they don't want that, or why people in general expect other people to wash their hands after they take a shit.

You're misinformed; best evidence is currently about 35% asymptomatic with fatality rate .4% among people with symptoms. Stop spreading lies.

I love the "I hope you get it" like tons of people aren't testing positive and have no symptoms. Furthermore, I showed direct documentation from the CDC about what a positive test means - it can be any number of viruses from the coronavirus family especially something minor. "Spreading lies" lol... linking CDC documentation... whew.
