Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

I find a lot of clothing to be a disgrace to the human body. I won’t go into it but you know what I’m saying.

Like a G-string on a Suma Wrestler?

Well I’ve never seen one up close but I think the whole wrestling and being overweight thing is quite awful. I wonder how long they live?

Seems clothing is getting shorter, tighter, and just becoming more like something a women of the night would wear.

Shorter and tighter, sounds like my wallet lately!

Do what you want. You will anyway. But look around you. Very few of those masks are protecting people who think this is all an overblown plan to coerce them into giving up their rights. Even fewer are hiding "mice" blindly following their leaders' instructions. What most of those masks protect are people who don't want to take the chance of losing a loved one, or a coworker, or of being responsible for making someone else lose the same.

Will the precautions hurt our economy? Yeah, probably for some time, but history has proven that our economy has bounced back from downturns and depressions of all magnitudes. It always does. It's the way We The People, as both a nation and as individual citizens, are built. We won't stay down.

Will wearing a mask hurt our rights? Which rights? The one where you can go out in public without looking funny to others, or the one where you have a right to protection from someone who doesn't know they're spreading a virus? You can go to work, just wear the mask. You can go the store, wear a mask. Requiring you to wear a mask isn't protecting your rights, anyway. It's the part that requires everyone else BUT you that protects YOUR right ... the right to LIVE! Not wearing a mask means that you think YOUR rights are more important than mine ... and that is just plain selfish.

Will the precautions help? Well, masks could have prevented three coach bus drivers from contracting the virus. The transportation shut/slow-down got those same three drivers out of circulation before they showed symptoms ... symptoms of a disease that they didn't yet know they carried, that showed no signs until they suddenly couldn't breathe ... symptoms of a disease that they would have passed along to every one of the 55 passengers who rode their buses twice a day ... and every one of those people's work contacts and family members. Those three, healthy, middle-aged men are not hypothetical test examples. They're real people. Two of them are now dead. The third just came off of two-plus months of ventilator life-support.

Okay, I was going to wrap this up, but I just took a gander at another post ... and a Time Warp calls ...

You seem to be of the mind that I am anti-mask. You are mistaken. I am only opposed to the Government suspending liberty. If a company wants to mandate wearing of masks, that is totally appropriate. Any company could protect their crews and passengers however they deem appropriate. They should not need nor depend on the Government to tell them what is best for their employees and customers.

I once worked at a hog confinement. Each day before going into the confinement building we would have to get out of our street clothes, shower and get into clean work clothes. This was to protect the hogs, not us. If a business can do that for hogs, they can do this for people. And I was obviously okay with it, since I worked there.

Thanks, @MROO, I did, lol! Take a deep breath, I mean. Then I found what she wanted, texted her to come get it, put on my mask and met her at the back door, where I stood and visited with her for about 15 minutes. Did not let her in. So it's clear to her now that, regardless of what anybody else may or may not be doing, we are continuing to protect ourselves.

You GO GIRL!! We've had to do the same thing, here. I did finally break down and let DD have a friend inside for lunch ... but we'd just spent the entire day outside weeding and mulching and I couldn't not reward the kids. They worked so hard. My front yard no longer looks like the set from The Munsters!!!

I'm trying to imagine wrestling with a rooster ... what about them spurs, then?

Has anybody tried the hot potato trick to remove overgrown spur sleeves? I haven't had to do anything about spurs, yet fl) but after reading about that, I'm definitely curious.

When we were kids, and we were broke $$. We would eat hamburger for a week. (Now I eat hamburger for a week, and I'm broke)!

No, not at all. You have every right to disagree with me. As I you.

Someone who comes along well after a long thread is established making remarks that inflame is generally along the lines of trollish behavior. This is a long thread and it happens every so often.... just the way it is. You are not the first and won't be the last. And it happens
by people who hold a variety of views.

Your whole post comes across as- "People who do not think like me, reason like me, and have the same ideas that I do don't deserve the same rights or liberties that I do and some chlorine could solve that.
Ergo if you are not like me you don't deserve to live. (count, matter, be counted as human...however one might like to say it)

....seems rather trollish to me.

So anyone that disagrees with the cool kids is a Troll. My understanding of a Forum Troll was someone who inspires flaming rhetoric or purposefully provoking others. I see how it works now, but I thought forums were for the exchange of information, not to isolate certain opinions. My error.

I did not realize that one is required to join a thread within a certain period of time to express a dissenting opinion. Where is that in the forum rules and etiquette? I did not think it would be IAW the rules to start a new COVID thread just so I could express a differing opinion.

Ad hominem attacks, such as name calling, is generally a sign of a bad argument or a bully and sometimes a Troll.

You really should lighten up a little. Humor is great medicine. It is also not about me, but about how this country was founded and the rights that each of us have. I am not willing to forfeit those rights because of a virus that is rarely fatal, especially based off the advice of an organization that is wrong as often as it is correct. Some of us take liberty seriously and if that offends you, then that is your issue to deal with.

**If everyone was concient

Ben and I have a special relationship. No one could ever really understand. If I was allowed to take him to church I surely would.

I'm allowed to take roosters to church! I always take at least one to "The Blessing of the Animals" in the Fall. They always let everyone know they're in attendance ... and are a huge hit with everybody. It's not just for fun, though. One goes to represent all of the animals in the food pipeline, those who deserve good care in order to provide for our needs, but don't always get it. One of my Nankin roos always goes - on a leash, not in a cage - as a representative of the endangered species for which we are ultimately responsible - domestic and wild. It's a pretty cool service that a lot of religious institutions observe. I HIGHLY recommend attending one ... and taking along a chicken!

** EDIT to remove an incomplete sentence.
The word was "conscientious" As in, "If everyone was conscientious about it, no one would need the reminders." Education shows.
