What's better? Wear masks and socially distance for a few weeks, as needed, and still be able to go just about whenever we need to while mitigating poor outcomes (to whatever degree that may be)? Or is it doing what we're doing now, or worse? Even if the first strategy doesn't work as well as we wanted, at least it is something we can own. To rephrase the quote and philosophy for what I believe it should really be: "My rights end where another's begins." Do your thing, but let's consider others as well. BTW, pete--don't take any of my reply too personally. Mainly just using it as an entry point. Totally understand my take is no more valid than anyone else's. |

All I did was point out that for every serious case there are several non-serious cases and we need to keep perspective. that doesn't say anything other than we need to keep perspective. That's it. That's all. Some just don't get that. |

This doesn't take away anything from covid being a new and scary disease. I just don't get the comparison. |

That applies to other diseases like cancer. Do people normally minimize cancer?

Mu Boss had all kinds of cancer inside him at the age of 48, my age. He went through surgery and all is well now and he will live a long life. So what's your point? |
