But you are so narcissistic as to imply that you seem to know how others would react to a loss of a loved one. No one has stated that "the world needs to change because of my loss". You really need to quit making accusations towards others without the slightest bit of evidence that is what they think or feel.
"That's not what I did".
Of course it is. You are replying directly to Don and you are implying that is his thoughts or feelings, along with the "living in fear" strawman further above.

Feelings are not right or wrong. They prove we are emotional beings. But telling others how to live their lives based on your feelings is something else, entirely.

I leave emotion out of this equation. It has no place. It's the old baby on the train tracks analogy.

I'm not sure what you are saying here. Are you implying that those under age 25 should willingly disregard the outlines of what should be done to avoid spreading the COVID pandemic? What about all those over 25? Should they just plan to stay away from anyone under 25????????????

We will have COVID results in 12-18 hrs for symptomatic person, tests for others will take longer. I think a level of fear is reasonable ....

Sorry, but I don't see the difference.

Meanwhile, she really needs to find a doctor that will prescribe Hydroxychloroquine, Zpak and zink. It's absurdly effective in early stages to the point of having almost a 100% success rate.

Seriously. You all should be looking into it.

BTW, if you are under 25, you are fifty times more likely to drown than to die of CV19. But we're not closing down pools.

As to the first point: I suspect that you subscribe to some collating services whereby you get a bunch of right-wing extremist stories that allow you to pick and choose which ones you wish to parrot.

As to the second point, it is indeed important to try to prevent drownings, and steps are taken to do so, such as having rules about swimming in pools and on beaches and having lifeguards on duty at many places. So is it okay to also have rules that would help to avoid the spreading of the COVID pandemic? Or should lifeguards and rules about swimming be done away with so that swimmers have "liberty and freedom" to do as they please?

Well, if the pandemic was killing as many healthy people as drowning, perhaps. But even then, the drowning numbers are deceptive and actually much worse than they seem. You see, everybody breathes, but not everybody swims.

And I dumped TV in 1997. I've been getting my news from the internet for decades. I've gotten very good at getting to the information I actually need quickly. I get it from all over the world and peruse all types of sources. Even al Jezera and no small number of Australian sites.

I don't quote a lot of leftist sites (e.g. CNN and the NYT) because I dont' need to. Many here are obviously soaked in those sites. But even then I do sometimes, because sometimes their article/video supports the point I'm trying to make.

I've been doing this a very long time - actively so.

Like I said in the other thread, it makes it easy when you don’t actually acknowledge and address the inputs that others make.

I think I do more than anybody else here. But I don't respond to every single claim and rabbit trail. Nobody does.
