Wuhan Coronavirus: Megathread - Got too big

"You must save grandma she is your responsibility"

So "grandma" (meaning any elderly or 60+ relative) doesn't have her own agency? She doesn't have a brain with free thought and her own opinions? She can't weigh a situation herself? My Grandma 1 hasn't given a shit since March, and has continued to go out in public to stores multiple times a week. We just had our traditional Thanksgiving sans the lefty millennials. Grandma 2 cares more but not to the "don't come to my house" level; she just goes out less. Had Thanksgiving with her as well.

COVID isn't the only thing that can kill "grandma." If you go 6 months without seeing your grandma because of COVID, but she dies from a stroke, was it worth not seeing your grandma during the last 6 months of her life to not give her corona? This really goes for anybody; if you go 6 months without seeing your friend because of COVID, but they die in a car accident, was it worth it to not give them corona?

People in the CV19 thread have told me I'm an evil asshole for pointing out that masks don't really work as well as the mass media campaign says they do and that CV19 is mostly killing off old people (backed up by CDC data). As well as the lockdowns causing much more harm to everything, and the "lockdowns" being good but massive people taking to the streets to protest ORANGEMAN and burn down their own cities is somehow a good thing.

Yes the Kissed by Corona thread is pozzed.

I've been accused of being turbo-ultra-mecha hitler for suggesting we should have from the beginning put all our resources into helping the vulnerable people and only them. Just letting it burn through the rest of society. Sorta like how firefighters during a wildfire only protect people and structures and not every tree in the forest.

The ironic part is that in this case, the "people and structures" would have eventually been protected by the very act of exposing the "trees" to fire. If enough younger, healthier people had gotten sick earlier on, we might have reached herd immunity by now.

That and, you know, not putting patients with active infections back into nursing homes.

And we wonder why wildfires in the west keep getting worse.

There is this whole way our society handles prevention measures and crisis that is fucked up. It's all about stomping it out everywhere at once because it looks bad rather than focusing efforts where it matters and letting nature take it's course everywhere else.

Did you know that every hour, 65 Americans DIE of covid. At least according to Yahoo news headlines. It isn't like I can read the comments on these articles cause that feature was taken away at the beginning of this. No need to question anything now stay the fuck at home or else you'll kill grandma.

I'm so tired of this BS

Wait till you tell them that people dies everyday and it ain't from covid. How did people become so afarid of their mortality less than 8 months?

They were forced to face it.

The west, collectively, has become insulated from death, to the point that it moves from a reality of life, to an existential threat that should be avoided at all costs. Whatever any particular individual may profess, as a society, we're in complete denial about the idea and experience of death. The only time the vast majority of people are forced to face it, to any real degree, is when their parents die. Everything else is a play-acting.

This pandemic isn't remotely the death wave they promised us, but the response to it has revealed that most people are so unfamiliar with, and so deahtly afraid of the concept of their own mortality, that they refuse to accept even the slightest disturbance of their comfortable denial of its reality. That's why their reactions are so extreme: they unconsciously understand that they are living on borrowed time already, especially the deathfats, and others with godawful lifestyles, and that even the smallest imbalance will end their precarious existence.

Shit, wanna make them sputter? Tell them 100,000 Americans die of heart disease/cancer EVERY MONTH, per the CDC, or 1,200,000/year. But we haven't fucked up the country to stop those diseases, have we.

Got a new mask Wednesday. Says, "This mask is USELESS". Goes with my other mask, says, "Wearing this IS STUPID. Think for yourself". No, I don't get any negative comments, not that I would give a fuck anyway.

What happens when the numbers don't dramatically spike after Turkey Day and Everyone Doesn't Die?

You think we're still headed for Biden Lockdown?

If the numbers don't spike from people getting sick, they will spike from people writing down larger numbers.

Lockdown will happen, it's just a matter of whether or not people are actually dying.

Mac’s Public House, in NY, has declared itself an autonomous zone and is refusing to shut down.



They have been fined, and have made a rather scathing video here laying out their case: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2cc...Sl292B1fqe7pum4JCnku19Ytlen_VuRS57nwhhtVKhZQA

Freaking A...why didn't I think about that before. Just call yourself an autonomous zone. Nice precedent you left behind Leftists.

If there's no one around or camera present, either write GFY or rip that apart.

Wholeheartedly agreed. Modern American society in particular seems to have this deep-seated need to hold somebody at fault when anything is wrong, no matter how minor. There is no acceptable amount of risk or loss because even if 9 out of 10 things go right, somebody needs to carry the blame for the one thing that went wrong. People have long said that we're a litigious society, but I don't know if that's the cause of this "culture of blame" mindset or an effect of it.

If this isn't sarcastic, it's the perfect illustration of the state of news these days: "You need to comply with this. I heard it from Andy, who heard it on the radio, so it's totally true."

My building has “required” masks since July. I have never worn one inside. There are cameras and the building managers have seen me, but nobody has said a word. The delivery people often do not wear them either. No police have shown up to do random checks because lol
