I think the answer is obvious, no, we take all prudent measures to avoid passing the flu, but we live our lives to the fullest extent possible until our days are done.

Of course, this is not an option for those Trump haters who just want to stir up shit and create an issue to use against him in the upcoming election.
Every issue Trump sucks on is a Democrat plot

Zzz miss me with the retardation bro 😴

Yes, quite. I have a plan:


  • Disable Russia through space-borne high-atmosphere EMP munitions. Use nuclear weapons to destroy Beijing, Shanghai, Berlin, London, Paris, Tehran, Istanbul, Madrid, New Delhi, Karachi, Rome, Mecca and Jerusalem. Declare a unified Earth, eliminate all national borders and use Japanese and Korean troops to enforce order.

  • Prohibit all birth control and abortion. Shoot the priests and eliminate all laws that interfere with procreation. Build impregnation facilities. Dispense lubricant.

  • Increase greenhouse emissions. Assign former communication majors as farmers to new arable lands.

  • Begin construction of colony ships.

Question

Would the impregnation facilities and colony ships be controlled by the state or private enterprise?

Also, what brand of lube and why aren’t we nuking Toronto?

id glide or wet platinum. I am pretty sure water-based lube is a Democrat plot to help rubbers to keep from breaking. Silicone is best. Colony ships must be voluntarist so we can have ethnoships, country-western ronald raygun themed heterosexual-ONLY trips to the sun with handwashing and bathing exemption, and also colonies filled with "beautiful, educated people enthusiasts". Which of these three most applies to this board? I think we would be the rayguns, if we're not considering lulz/cecily/etc white.

Nobody is suggesting you cower in your basement. There was a window where a short period of basement cowering would have been productive to buy time to make preparations and POSSIBLY contain the virus to manageable levels, but we botched it here in the US because BOTH SIDES politicized the virus and made it tribal, but whitie righties of course landed on the retarded side of taking no precautions and pretending it didn't exist.

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.

Its pretty obvious by now that it performed #2 on you. Literally no one gives a shit about this thing, except luvs-alot, lionheart, and a small number of other lesser known carebears such as yourself.

Do you ever get tired of imagining yourself in a life of constantly swinging your sword in every direction attempting to slay invisible dragons beseiging you on every side while the rest of the populace just mills about providing a wide berth for you in am attempt to avoid being inadvertently hit by your tired and aimless flailing?

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?

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.

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

Why are _you_ projecting your beliefs onto objective facts? Masks don't impact your ability to breath and they don't affect your level of oxygen.

Some people wear medical masks for hours on end every single day, its a part of their job, it is factual that this is not an issue they've been doing it for years.

Surgeon's don't wear a mask while they operate on you because they're afraid toxic shit is spewing from your body, they do it to prevent their own germs from entering _you_. Why the fuck does anyone think the opposite? Masks protect the people around you from your disgusting ass coughs.

Get out of here with that stupid Karen bullshit.
