When did people start dying of Covid here in the states?

Go ahead and shop at that grocery store that doesn’t require masks. And keep on bitching about how horrible things are.

What’s lunacy is your desire to share your germs with everyone around you. Thank god you can’t spread your droplets thru your radio waves. It’s still garbage.

Long term care facilities. They mentioned half of those tested had previously been tested. The mass testing event I was at a couple weeks ago Started turning away people after only a couple hours and they had 1000 tests that day. It sounds like you think we are over-testing but if we want school to safely be held in person this year, we are going to have to ramp up the testing like we have for long term care facilities. Not going to happen if the tests aren’t going to be funded and we are already turning away people that want to be tested.

Much of the use of the word was in this thread but its been used in other threads as well. Until now, it was unchallenged.

A quick search uncovers a number of posters in this thread using the word "libtard" over the years and unchallenged. Hmm.

And they also aren’t currently requiring you to have health insurance. But they are by law requiring hospitals to treat anyone regardless of their ability to pay. I know it’s not what you want to hear but there’s only one solution to this problem.

If having a body is inherent to life and this makes any product you are required to purchase a tax, wouldn't this apply to food just as it applies to health insurance? I guess we could always choose to just go without food, like one could choose to go without healthcare. Makes perfect sense.

Having a body is inherent to life, sure. So should the cost of buying food also be considered a tax?

Prices have gone up for every plan, but this started well before the ACA was introduced. The individual mandate was supposed to help push everyone to get insured, after all you can’t legally drive without car insurance so why should you be able to access healthcare without health insurance. Yet the mandate was found unconstitutional by the right wingers. What would happen to your car insurance rates of responsible drivers no longer were required to be insured? Thankfully Obama was able to rush the ACA through quicker than trump’s health plan. It’s four years later, where are these more affordable and better options?

Who killed your health insurance plan?

Trump ran stating he would replace the ACA with something better. Since then he has tried to kill the ACA multiple times with no replacement. If trying to make 20 million plus become uninsured during a worldwide pandemic, in which we are losing more than any other country, isn’t fueled by hate, I’m not sure what is. If someone was trying to eliminate your insurance plan, how exactly would you feel?

It’s only on par to be our third highest leading cause of death. No biggie.

Thanks for the honest and up front talk today. And thank you for wearing a mask!

Stay entitled and privileged.

Huh? I'll quote mikejm here, "Don't impose your droplets on me". It doesn't mean I'm asking you to take care of me. I'm asking for some common courtesy. Are you so reckless with your other decisions? Do you speed often? Drink and drive? Please just make the right decisions, they do affect others.

Yeah I know that. That's why I stay monogamous and and don't go sharing drinks with others. Unfortunately we can't say the same about Covid risks. A disease that continues to kill about 1,000 Americans per day. How many are we losing to herpes?

Yet herpes has been around for years, the medical community understands it and the risks, you know that.

One could argue that those going into public or to gatherings without a mask are also not capable of taking care of themselves or others.

Never said that but the governor in Georgia recently has done so and Betsy devos is also suggesting to do so.

We do? Or we just know there’s no immediate side effects for 40% moving forward?

Of course they’ve been deceptive. I’m not blindly following anyone. You may see the mask wearers as sheep, I guess that’s your opinion. While I would consider an anti-masker one of trump’s sheep.

Is altru selfish for requiring all employees, patients, and visitors to wear masks? Sanford? Mayo? Sorry bro but the selfish are the ones who claim it’s their civil liberty to be in public with no mask. It’s a form of entitlement and privilege, you should understand that right?

That’s the key, we don’t know. But many are ready to just go off the limited info they know or think they know.

I don’t know if they’d open everything up but I’d be ok with it, as long as known infections were isolated and social distancing was still in place. I don’t make the rules though, at this point we can only control our own.
