If you are not socializing yet, then life is passing you by fast. You will die of complications from desocializing and never be around to hear that they got it all wrong to begin with. I feel sorry for the sheep. The wolf is salivating knowing you will soon be dinner.

Do most of this now!

No vaccines work 100% If people wait for a vaccine to start living again then you might as well pack it in now.

Will you ever feel comfortable sitting around your dinner table playing cards with friends? What will it take before you are willing to do that? I guess I am curious if a COVID vaccine takes 10 years to develop how many will spend that entire time living in a state of social isolation.

Wow, I have been doing all the things right along that you brought up. Golfing, bike riding, playing cards, going to happy ours and eating at restaurants. I did not buy into any of the paranoia. It’s a personal choice

Yes, A Scooter on the square event limited to 75 people; areas chalked off with 6' radius circles, not to be transversed.. Perimeter roped off. No seating in stands.

A proven vaccine...plus about six months.

check out the stats grand kids are not at risk at all that is just a bit of guilt shaming.If you are older and have underling medical conditions be safe and take precautions. More may get it but they call it a symptomatic another words you have the virus but there are no symptoms.

Villages Kahuna 06-25-2020 07:42 AM

And by doing so you’re endangering everyone you are exposed to. People like you are the reason the pandemic can’t be contained.

80,000 cases in Florida in a population of 21,000,000. I can't believe how many people have the impression that every other person they see out has the virus. :rolleyes:

80,000 ÷ 21,000,000 = 0.0038 x 100 = 0.38% have it, or in other words, 99.62% of Florida's population does not have the virus.

Social Isolation is not the entire issue, "social caution" is. Life will never get back to "normal" until there is a universally available vaccine and/or treatment for the virus. The 1918 flu took four years before it died away, but they did not have the extensive medical science that exists today. If we are fortunate, we may have something by next year. Until then, we just have to get used to a new way of living (like wearing a mask); something Americans are usually too selfish to adjust to.

Looks like this young girl had the underlying condition of obesity. With obesity, Diabetes is a possibility. Being young does not necessarily eliminate underlying conditions.

I believe we will go back to "last years" normal in 2023. We have to wait for the first "Safe" vaccine to cause mass numbers of cancer and those folks to pass. Once we put that little hiccup past us and we have a safe vaccine, then normality as we know it will come (Just in time for the Turnpike Bridge)

Yet you assume your conclusions are correct and are willing to risk your health to prove it?

What does it profit anyone to mock and deride other people's more conservative and reasonable approaches?

If they were ONLY affecting their OWN health...I wouldn't have a problem with that.

Unfortunately, they don't seem to be able to comprehend...it's OTHERS that are also in danger. :oops:


Be an American Patriot...and wear a mask.
