COVID19: Opinion and Discussion

[Will B]

My comment has nothing to do with Trump so no need to take it there. Has nothing to do with him but rather how numbers are being reported. Not going to engage you in any tinfoil hat conspiracy theory mumbo jumbo so if that's what you're gonna come back with it's falling on deaf ears, and you may as well not reply. So over everybody injecting politics into everything and even more sick of ALL politicians as a whole. They are all self serving asses regardless of party.

The course of this virus has and will continue to be at least partly dependent on human behavior. Human behavior will be at least partly dependent on laws, and laws will be at least partly dependent on people in power, who are often our elected officials. I don't think one can fully separate out politics from the situation in which we find ourselves.

I hardly even listen to the numbers any more. I had two sets of cousins on my wife’s side go visit the grandpa in New Orleans for Thanksgiving. Grandpa had a “cold”. Turns out he had Covid. Now four adults and five children have some rather severe cases of Covid. A realtor I talked to last week said she knew 10 people who have it. Those are the numbers that mean something to me.

I get tired of people with the YOLO attitude saying that you just need to go out and enjoy life. Well guess what? I haven't been out and about in months and I'm thoroughly enjoying life. Those days will come again.
