COVID-19, Part 4 - what happens next?

[WrongVerb]

I disagree. These "anti-maskers" aren't going into people's houses and shouting at them. All of these people are willingly going out into public by their own accord. THey're a very loud, vocal, minority. I think you're really discrediting mankind in our country. Selfishness? I don't think so.

Very selfish. It's selfishness that always finds a way to blame other people for the consequences of your actions. Well, selfishness and immaturity.

To take 75's analogy a bit further, if you're out driving, and you're speeding send running red lights, and you collide with me, it would be selfish and immature to blame me for being out on the road with you.

Now, that analogy fails a bit, because the state opened up so the hairdresser could operate. But people like you were the ones agitating to open, exposing all of us to the risk die to your impatience, impertinence, and immaturity.

I would agree that if she was symptomatic, then she should be in trouble when she knowingly did it. Or hell, sue Great Clips for all I care. But I'm just saying that I go out in public assuming I'm probably going to get it at some point. But is this what we're going to do until the vaccine? Just post stories of random people across the country who infected others while at their job to try and fear monger everyone into a lockdown again?

I don’t want a lock down. I want to fear monger people into taking more responsible steps to keep people safe. I’m sorry I’m a monster.

Did she actually infect anyone? I thought they said that because she was wearing a mask, she didn't. I mean, for all I know the cashier at Kroger could be infecting people, but she is doing God's work in selling Bud Light and Pall Malls, not something trivial.

Unclear at this point they are tracking down everyone to test them. They said they hoped the masks stopped infections. That would actually be awesome if she was symptomatic and didn’t infect anyone just because she had a mask on, but I guess we will know if the next few days.

The same people that applaud the baker for not making cake for a gay couples wedding are the same people yelling at the baker for making them wear a mask in their store.

Gloves too? That's a new one. We don't have much of that here.

You in California? Maybe you can clear something up for me...I hear in S. Cal that you're allowed to walk on wet sand but not dry sand. What's the thinking behind that and how do do you get to the wet sand w/o first walking through the dry sand?

Gov Newsom is turning into Gov Moonbeam. All we need is the Dead Kennedy’s to write a follow up to California Uber Alles.
Even before Covid19.

And yet, no one really drives the speed limit!

Nearly everyone drive within the general traffic laws. Almost no one drives 55 in a school zone, and pretty much everyone obeys stop signs and traffic lights.

And that's what's happening with these stay at home orders. Most people are generally following them. Built into these regulations is that not everyone will follow them perfectly.

[NachoMan]

So? Didn't all these people VOLUNTARILY go to her knowing they could contract it? And just because she "exposed" it doesn't mean they're all going to die. I know, I know. Each of those 91 could give it to 1 person who gives it another. . .and so on. But again, a lot of people don't care. No one's forcing these people to go out in public.

This is one of the dumbest things I've ever read.

She's lucky she didn't visit a construction site and go for a jog in the wrong neighborhood.

You don't have to go out in public if you're so scared. Do what you have to do to stay healthy.

The irony is thick on both sides of the coin.

I bet the tiny house crowd is having second thoughts.

[Reds Freak]

I certainly don't want to be locked down any longer, but I want to do my part to stop the spread of this thing so we can move on with our lives. Sometimes I wonder how these freedom-loving patriots who refuse to wear masks or be dealt with the slightest inconvenience would have reacted in the 1940s when they were handed ration cards, had price controls imposed, and asked to stay off the highways.

Of course we want people to get back to work and get the economy moving again, but the more we have this selfish "I'll do what I want because I live in a free country" attitude, the longer it's going to take and the more people are going to suffer.

Why do you use the label "freedom loving patriots"? I wouldn't categorize the folks that fill up the California beaches and the young folks crowding the bars that way. In fact, I try not to categorize people at all.
