Fear for the children of a disease that they aren't getting and aren't dying from but don't care at all about the economy and life they will live post pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read my posts/I am a realist and realize the economy must be opened. Also realize that until people take responsibility the virus will continue.

Isn't New York's situation much more "special" than North Dakota's? What area with a population density and demographic profile similar to ND has been disproportionately hard hit? With the positive cases to date, and the medical results of those positive folks, what leads you to believe ND will turn into NY? All the testing in the world is not going to eliminate the virus. We're still likely to get it at some point in the next 8 months. In ND we haven't flattened the curve, we've crushed it. Any North Dakotan that gets the virus will get the best medical care we can provide. Nobody is going to be shipped to the Fargodome. Protect the vulnerable, be smart and let's get back to work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that there's basically a 100% chance that my kids will get it (if they haven't already). Isn't that a given? If the goal is to stop any child from getting any virus at all cost we are truly screwed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because being told to wear a mask is not something I'm prepared to tolerate. It seems like overnight the smug, pompous crowd has shifted from "you stay at home" to "you wear a mask." Yet, nobody is out here telling them they must leave the house, or they cannot wear a mask. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
