Crappy health care? Try again...

I also would suggest that you look up the number of yearly deaths in the United States caused by medical error and lack of access before you go thumping your chest on how brilliant our healthcare system is in this country. Additionally, I bet no one in (insert other developed nation here) avoids calling an ambulance because they've been stung by a $2500 bill in the mail before. You know what I've seen in person? People who avoid going to the doctor because it's too expensive. How many people end up dying because of THAT?

Yeah, sure, it's great. Just make sure you bring your family and friends to provide changes of clothes, food, any other needs the system won't provide. Like I said, I've seen it first hand. And in the end when the finances say, they will let you die.

Because some people (reasonably) view mask-wearing mandates to be more about government control/social engineering of behavior than about public health.

For me, it is because there is (that I have been able to find yet, anyway) simply no scientific data that support the assertion that healthy/non-symptomatic people wearing masks has any impact whatsoever on the spread of coronavirus, and I inherently oppose the constraint/compulsion of otherwise lawful behaviors of free people based on nothing more than the offended feelings of the irrationally fearful.

I think such confidence in the point about compulsory mask wearing in the absence of solid evidence of effectiveness, is warranted. I’m not as sure about your confidence in motives. If you have some evidence that “they” are making people wear masks as some kind of social engineering to condition people for government control, I’m open to seeing it. Otherwise I’d be more confident that this is more about human traits manifesting in reaction to these events. Some people react this way, some people react that way, and some in between. To me that explains it better than, in the absence of compelling evidence, that it must be social engineering.

Yes, like the scene in THX1138 where the police have almost caught the protagonist but they give up the chase because it went 10% over budget

Optional...like seat belts once were....

Simmer down there, I’m sure this will all be repealed, along with the 16th amendment.

Is it ok to love your country and hate your government? That's where I find myself most days and I need confirmation that it's ok.

It's OK to love your fellowman when you don't like them.

 

[foszoe]

It's OK to love your fellowman when you don't like them.

Oh, I do follow that rule. I love everyone!

 

[OurDee]

Just because I hate what you are doing doesn't mean I don't love you.

Get a room. Sheesh.

Ahem...

I'd really like to know how the details of this chart were determined. It is a general guideline? Or based on some hard evidence? If it's evidence, what are the metrics? What are the variables? Is it being measured and verified as we move along?

They left off the highest risk activity. Attending a Trump rally. They also left off one of the low risk activities. Attending a BLM protest/riot.

I dunno, I heard the score was:

Jaguars: 2

BLM-Seattle: 0

Hey. Who am I to judge who people love?

Now do protesting the shutdown, and protesting racism. It’s obvious that they’re on different parts of the spectrum. I’d like the authors to take a swag at declaring by just how far.

 

[OurDee]

Get a room. Sheesh.

That's the spirit.

 

[nonobaddog]

Getting a room is now a "4" on the risky scale.

Based on this chart, I'm long gone.

That chart says I'm boring.

Good one!

me too.
