We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Using old people as food? That's a bold strategy.

What's your feel on where the "acceptable level" of deaths is for this situation?

People in the military sign up for that shit, that's a bit different than average person.

If your family is big enough, it could easily exceed the 10% occupied capacity at some restaurants.
Thank you. I'll now leave the thread and allow the typical CP arguing to continue.

Donger, I've read your shit for years. You have little to no empathy for anyone so it's not surprising that my post completely evaded you.

You can just continue sitting in your cushy home, working from home as you've always done with no worry about feeding your family and believing that because you're ok everyone else is too.

Because if YOU'RE managing it well, certainly that means everyone else is too. So why open back up right?

Because if comes down to "Maybe you get sick" vs "Maybe that kid won't eat tonight", well fuck that kid as long as you and yours are safe, right?

Well consider that many are like, "Fuck Donger and his if that means i stay unemployed".

This is why many states/cities enacted anti-mask laws in the first place...

I admit back in the day there were times Donger annoyed the shit out of me but now years later as I've mellowed and looked at things better, Donger amuses the shit out of me.

Well no, it would probably turn into dust if you clutched it at all.

Fuck everyone but me sounds harsh. That's fine. Sometimes reality is harsh.

But when one makes arguments in favor of continuing a lockdown because they're worried they or their family may get sick, well that's a "fuck everyone but me" argument as well.

What about when about 70% of the country favors staying in lockdown?

I've never claimed to be the most empathic person, because I'm not. I'm just trying to understand your logic, if any.

No, not fuck that kid. I presume that that kid went to a food line and did get fed. At least I hope so.
