Coronavirus - What Happened?

[everybodygetsone]

So I gotta follow what zecarlo believes? All the time? Come out in 2025 if it helps you sleep at night.

Wow. I legitimately believe you now hate this country. Do you have any idea the amount of people who work at these jobs and depend on a paycheck. And who is to say someone is an “essential” or “non-essential” employee. EVERY employee is essential. If a business didn’t have it’s employees, it would fail.

Wow. Hates the country, eh?

[zecarlo]

@everybodygetsone

Proof our government is full of shit.

I don’t know anyone who died from AIDS. That’s proof it doesn’t exist. I don’t know anyone who flies airplanes. Pilots don’t exist either.

[zecarlo]

It’s not like I served in the military or anything…

@Aragorn

But it also illustrates an important point, which is that a) we don’t know why certain people are seeing things like this happen and others aren’t, and b) even in “cured” people it is causing damage the flu is not known for, in systems the flu is not known to seriously damage.

And why infants and kids appear to be relatively immune to the virus. (Thank goodness).

This isn’t talked about nearly enough, when a “key?” to the overall pathogenicty of the virus may be found in our youngest citizens.

I gotta follow what zecarlo believes

I gotta follow what you believe? Someone who uses the “word” gotta?

[everybodygetsone]

I’m not saying you have to follow anything. You can be apathetic. That’s your choice. But to say “non-essential” businesses should die (again, no business is non-essential), when their employees depend on their paycheck, is ridiculous.

[zecarlo]

@everybodygetsone

You can be apathetic.

You certainly are.

@everybodygetsone

to say “non-essential” businesses should die

Is better than saying non-essential people should die.

@everybodygetsone

when their employees depend on their paycheck

When their lives depend on not getting sick.

[everybodygetsone]

Would you prefer they collect unemployment until this whole thing passes?

[SkyzykS]

I’d ask if a business exists to serve the employees or if the employees exist to serve the business but that type of discussion isn’t even worth entertaining at this point.

[zecarlo]

Why not?

For @SkyzykS @Aragorn and @zecarlo

I’m not here for a debate, and to be honest I’m tired of hearing about this virus, it has basically taken over my life. As far as how things could have gone otherwise, look at Sweden, Holland, and Belarus where there was no lockdown. Infection rates could be higher, death rates could be higher, but locking the place down is only delaying the inevitable and doesn’t prevent those most likely to die from getting infected in the first place. Maybe some places like NYC shoud be locked down, but not the whole world.

[everybodygetsone]

Because I would prefer people not suck on government teet until the end of time.

[zecarlo]

@chris_ottawa

Holland,

Didn’t the Netherlands cancel the football season?

@chris_ottawa

delaying the inevitable and doesn’t prevent those most likely to die from getting infected in the first place.

This isn’t true. A good number of the people who died in Italy could have lived had the healthcare system not been overloaded and unable to treat everyone with the same degree of care.

[zecarlo]

Start with the politicians then.

How does that affect you in any way that it doesn’t affect anybody else, or everybody else for that matter?

[everybodygetsone]

When my taxes fund it, it affects me.

[everybodygetsone]

They don’t want to. They want big government to direct their lives.

[SkyzykS]

@everybodygetsone

Let’s try again, because you’re all about the greater good…

How does this affect You that it doesn’t affect Everybody Else too?
