Even though the COVID-19 curve has been flattened, mainstream media outlets continue to push doomsday predictions of an impending explosion of deaths.According to Stanford University’s disease prevention chairman Dr. John Loannidis, the COVID-19 fatality rate for those under the age of 45 is “almost zero,” and between the ages of 45 and 70, it’s somewhere between 0.05% and 0.3%So, the fact that young and middle-aged adults are testing positive in droves is not a warning sign of an impending onslaught of deaths, as the risk of death in these age groups is minusculeAccording to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the COVID-19 mortality — which had declined for the last 10 weeks straight — “is currently at the epidemic threshold,” meaning if it declines just a little more, COVID-19 will no longer be considered an epidemicThe sharp increases in “cases” are not proof of disease spread but, rather, the spread of testing.
How safe do you need to be? Maybe they should make the interstates 15 mph so one dies in a crash. This mask idea was good initially, but the window for that has gone by. The curve for moralities has been flattened. It now has all become a political football.
I’m impressed, I was expected at least one or two people being outraged at F- being political, and that “it should be moved to the editorial comics”, and “I’m never reading it again!” Like happened with Lio yesterday.

I hear a lot of people use the same excuse as to why they won’t wear a mask.

When in college at the end of the years you had to watch for falling TV’s thrown out the window

Repent at leisure, Freedom Fighters! (In hospital beds. Hooked up to oxygen.)

Yet you have no problem allowing your exercise of Freedom to be a serious threat to the health and welfare of others.

besides the act of throwing things that may hurt other people is my choice and telling me not to do it is against my freedom. Is in the constitution

This is so appropriate. It describes what is happening perfectly.

Yep, that’s the anti-maskers mindset.

No… it’s the mindset of people who understand we will ALWAYS have viruses among us… but I still wouldn’t throw things off a roof !!
