Cause it’s a computer lol. I don’t know how to even open a tab on my phone. Plus who uses phones anymore lol. They are so tiny, hard to see, and my fat fingers can’t press those little buttons.

Still though!! How!? And I only use my phone

Not a kid but sorry

Come on.
Having a view is fine. Making assertions that are to the best of my knowledge are misleading and factually incorrect isn't. In this particular case your assertion, if read by someone not particularly well informed who assumes you know what you are talking about because you have presented yourself here as a nurse, is dangerous.

If your worried about an asymptomatic person then social distance, wash your hands or stay home. Its not that difficult

Many, many people work in environments where doing those things is not possible. Many of those are essential employees who must be at work to keep things up and running for everyone else. If we can't look out for those folks, what kind of society are we?

If you think our government has your best interest at heart you are extremely naive

It's actually quite difficult for

• agricultural workers who harvest our food and reside in close quarters so they are near the fields
• Beef and poultry processing plant employees who must work on a line shoulder to shoulder for hours
• police officers and first responders who must assist people who are injured or impaired
• daycare workers and teachers
• subway train employees in large cities

I could go on but I think this is enough. Also, I'm not sure how much good washing hands does for thwarting an airborne virus; but washing hands is always a good idea, covid or no covid.

I agree with you.

I do not think our government has my best interest at heart and here's why. The whole purpose of a government is to BALANCE and PRIORITIZE many competing interests. If I am wealthy, my interest is in protecting my money from taxes etc.; but if I am low income, my interest is in finding ways to feed my family and getting assistance for medical needs etc. If I am Libertarian, I want to avoid the government as much as possible; but the government still needs to collect taxes from me in order to build roads, pay police officers, staff national parks and on and on.

So, no. It doesn't. And I'm okay with that; it's the price of living in community.
