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

It would be nice if more people ignored me. Then I’d have a lot less posts deleted because someone simply doesn’t agree. My way or the highway huh. Childish at best.

You could ignore them....or just not reply.

Tell me why one person doesn’t have symptoms and another gets seriously ill even when they had no underlying issues or illnesses. When you can show me a study on that I’ll be happy to read it. The reality is they just don’t know why yet.

So, just in order to keep from misunderstanding you, you are saying you disagree with SCIENCE then?


I think we may be finally to the bottom of the issue here.

hilarious. Running out of arguments now.

How does all this work when half the population aren’t even going to take the vaccine? Then what?

I read it. I don’t agree. Hard to understand?
I haven’t been rude to you yet so you may want to edit your post. Resorting to that just shows your lack of intelligence. We’re not going to agree regardless.

What part of my post do you find rude? I would not ever want to hurt your feelings, because I do have compassion for other individuals and do consider how the things I say may or may not offend them, I wish I could say the same for others I am engaging with.

Because people are individuals, and how they may or may not respond to a virus or an illness will vary based on their background, health status, and hundreds of other factors?

To be entirely honest... I rather dislike the masks. I do wear them, however, because I don't know if I have COVID, and I don't want to accidentally spread it to someone else. If I could not wear them, however, and not have the risk of spreading it to someone else, then I'd take it off in an instant.
Masks do not stop the spread of COVID-19 -- they merely slow it. How they slow it is by containing many of the germs that are spread by way of breath and cough. Not all, but some.
Not everybody can wear a mask, however -- but these people still have to go out and do things.

Personally, what bothers me the most about the lockdown is this: Gatherings are limited -- even funerals are limited. Funerals, which are personal, very important gatherings of family and loved ones to remember, thank, and bid farewell to a deceased loved one. What if more than 50 people want to come? What if more than 50 people were touched by the person and want to say a few words about them and comfort their loved ones? Who has the right to ban family from family? What angers me the most about this whole lockdown is that people are being kept from seeing their loved ones. Sure, it's to protect them, but in times of grief? Of sorrow and depression and need? People need their families in these times -- it's cruel to keep them away.

But yet you want everyone to stay home or just wear a mask?
Actually what is it exactly you want everyone to do?
