Covfefe-19 The 12th Part: The Only Thing Worse Than This New Board Is TrumpVirus2020

I get masks aren’t fun to wear but if people just wore them in crowded places we would have Covid under control.

No, if people got vaccinated it'd be under control.

Masks don't eliminate the disease, they just slow the spread. Masks would not have eliminated measles, or small pox, or any other major illness, either.

Bingo.

I usually get two nasty colds a year, and if I am unlucky it might be that the year is one in the every few where I get the flu. Since the pandemic I haven't had any of this and that can be directly equated to wearing a mask, social distancing, etc. I'm still going to wear a mask once in a while. Not because I am afraid, but because I don't enjoy being sick.

I had never had the flu until a few years ago and I thought people were being big babies for a bad cold.

Then I had it and whoa I will never make that mistake again. Except for food poisoning I have never been even half that sick.

Same. In my 20s it seemed like every flight gave me a cold. Less so now so maybe I've built up resistance over time. But if it's cold and flu season and I'm going through an airport where everyone is coming from every corner of the world and possibly bringing the bug-of-the-month with them, I'd prefer to wear the mask if I can and not end up spending half of my vacation recovering from something when I'd much prefer to be having fun. There's a reason passengers from Asia always have them on.

So if a car has seat belts it shouldn’t have any other safety features? Honestly it’s hard for me to understand your attitude(and I know a lot of other people feel same as you.)

This is a bit self serving for the argument. Jay Leno, and millions of other people, have old cars with little more than brakes for safety, AND many with NO seat belts. He, and they, shouldnt be allowed to drive those cars at all? Or driven in the presence of people with brand new cars with ALL of the latest safety features? These cars should be confiscated and crushed so as not to cause unnecessary deaths? (and to whom?) As unofan said, do you wear the same triple layer fireproof nomex underwear, fire safety suit, HANS Device and crash helmets as a race car driver? Because think how much safer you would actually be?

Maybe you should start a new thread about creating the ultimate safety situation in cars and see the responses you get. Just remember, as the Covid sayings go, it is all to protect the children and Grandma. Have a nice time suiting up your kid like this for the 5 minute trip to the soccer field. Oh and also try suiting up your 86 year old mother, the same person who has survived all these years of driving in cars with;

- No seatbelts
- Steel dashboards
- No safety glass
- Drum brakes
- Bias ply tires
- Sharp edged metal and plastic interior pieces
- NO CAR SEATS FOR THE KIDS, just held them tight on the ride home from the delivery room

Remember everyone, humanity survived for all those years where our waste just went into the streets, so there's no need for indoor plumbing.

Plenty of places worldwide where waste just goes in the streets and indoor plumbing is an afterthought. Have you been to Baltimore or Mumbai lately. Are masks real prevalent in either place? Not seeing the citizens falling dead in droves from covid. From gun shots, fentanyl, BLM riots and general pollution, absolutely.

[Handyman]

And that is all very smart. Everyone should do what they feel is best for them and no one is advocating anything different. Well, no one who isn't a complete and total nutbar...

[Swansong]

speaking of open sewers, here's whalers!

Right, plenty of places don't have indoor plumbing and not everyone died there. So we don't need it. My point exactly. If not everyone died, how bad can it be?

I assume this is a response to he whose posts I cannot read?

Oh, I don't care if they kill themselves. But they need modern brakes so they can't murder someone worthwhile.

Likewise with Republicans. I actively encourage them to experiment with alcohol and pills late at night home alone. But not when a human life is at risk.

Yeah that's why even some classic cars are not road-safe.


This is a ridiculous argument.
