If "hiding from it" is not the best action then what do you suggest?

Seems like you are going to get it regardless.

All I suggest is not to get people with underlying issues sick.

I have no idea about Emmanuel's other thoughts.

I’m going to take this to the coronavirus thread in PNR so we can discuss the Fauci BS.

It’s all about mitigating the risk.

Which is why i said, it's up to him. The only risk mitigation for this is to stay away from other people completely.  For me, the money paid for playing with safeguards in place would be worth the risk, since I am not going to cower to this virus by hiding in the basement for the rest of my life. When I go out, I take the "precaution" of wearing a mask, even though I realize a cloth mask does zilch, because it makes other people feel better. If I am going somewhere there is a LOT of people, I put on an N-95 mask.  I'm over 60 and have heart disease, so it's pretty much a death sentence for me. But if they told me I could make multi millions this year playing a game with other people who have also been tested, sign me up. I someone else looks at it differently, that's fine as well. There is no right or wrong to argue about.

Even if that is true, it's better to get it now than it was in March, and it'll be better to get it in January than it is now. It's all about buying them time to figure out how to better treat it or come up with a vaccine (which half of us won't get because they heard some quack say not to). The only way to buy them that time is to chill out a lil bit, and steer clear of crowds... That's not hiding.

Also... Many people don't know they have underlying conditions, and the virus has killed more than one young person with no underlying conditions. Yeah... If you get it, there's a good chance you beat it, but do you wanna take that gamble with the stakes being your life or life as you know it? There's a lot of talk of permanent damage from infection.

This is a weird thread all around.

Do ya'll make it a habit to congratulate people (who are 100% not reading this stuff) and adorn their person life events?

Lol.

Then, pontificate about their medical and career and family aspirations and thoughts?

Feel the same Sled, not going to cower to it.

No reason to argue, I just don't like the shaming going on for people who don't wear a mask.

Just saw a vid of some woman with a mask on throwing her hot starbucks on some dude who wasn't wearing a mask BTW.

Not cool.

I've also seen one with a woman coughing in another woman's face who had a mask on. I don't know what happened before it but it doesn't matter. I'm tired of shit like that, and the video you brought up. We need to be at each other's throats a lot less than we are. Personally I choose to wear one indoors in public... I have been since early April. Almost everyone here is now because they're mandated, and many businesses are enforcing it. Of course some still aren't doing it... No need to start trouble over it. I just see who to stay the furthest away from.

I'm gonna keep wearing one when this is over... Y'all don't deserve to see this pretty face.

Nah, we're usually out curing cancer but we take a stress break sometimes.

I'm as conservative as they come (hence why I posting this here instead of PnR), but not wearing a mask in public around folks is just selfish. I recently saw a video of a cancer survivor making copies/faxing at Staples. A woman came up beside her without a mask, the lady asked her to wear a mask, she got mad and tried to get in the lady's face, The cancer survivor was using a cane and tried to use it to make the woman keep her distance. The lady threw the cancer survivor to the ground breaking her leg. 

I personally wear a neck gaior when I'm by myself in the store I keep it around my neck but when folks approach and pull it up over my nose. I don't think that's too much to ask of anyone.

Damn that is some BS, agree, not much to ask trying to keep others safe.

That is selfish, I would wear a mask around people who are at risk no question.

As Jase said, we need to stop going after each other like this.

Congratulating a person you don’t know, on a platform they don’t read, on their new pregnancy is beyond bizarre

Birx has credentials, but she is a sell out sycophant.  She praised Trump for being "attentive to the scientific literature" while he has basically contradicted the scientific literature with his position on the pandemic.

And Fauci is an admitted liar. I don't really trust any of them.

When did Fauci admit that he lied?

(08-03-2020, 11:51 AM)fredtoast Wrote: When did Fauci admit that he lied?

He admitted that he told people not to wear masks because it would increase facial touching and increase spread, because they didn't want people to buy up all the masks and 1st responders not get any. I would have respected him saying don't buy masks because other people need them, but that's not what they did. And he admitted it. They told people "don't wear a mask". So if masks work, how many people died because he told them not to wear one? (not that I think masks are anything other than a feel good unless it is an N-95)
