The problem is the rest of you are too damn stupid and selfish to voluntarily stay home as well. And because you don’t, people keep getting infected and spreading it to other stupid and selfish people - like you - who also won’t stay home. So if you won’t do what’s right, and in your own best interest voluntarily, then you need to be forced to. I’m hoping we get a SAH order that has jail as a penalty for violating it. Because that’s the only thing that will keep you stupid trumpets home - the fear of going to jail and being some big Black man’s b!tch in the shower. If everyone would’ve just stayed home for 3 weeks in April, this would’ve been over by May. But thanks to you and your dumbass president, we now have like 8,000 people a day dying. |
| Best hand out masks at the border, because the flow is starting up again and over 11% are testing positive. We've had 17 border agents die of the disease. |
Why do you care what happens to “stupid, selfish people”? |
You're going to give yourself and ulcer with this perspective, and rather false narrative. |
Mmmm, yes, "too damn stupid and selfish to voluntarily stay home as well." I own a small business that provides essential services, and I've been taking all health precautions seriously since March. If I voluntarily stayed home, it WOULD be too damn stupid and selfish because I wouldn't be able to house, feed, and support my children. There are millions of Americans in this predicament. Some are financially better off than others, but our professions/jobs don't grant us the luxury of locking ourselves up in our houses and firing off nasty and ignorant messages on social media. Oh, and furthermore - I happily voted for Biden in November. You clearly need some help to work through some serious anxiety issues. |
Unfortunately this isn’t true. Pwcs is going full steam ahead with reopening despite having the highest positivity rate in NOVA of over 14% |
+100 How does he expect people to take these mandates seriously, when he is still allowing restaurants and schools in districts with over 10% positivity rates to stay open. |
This person is dreaming of people who have to work for a living going to jail and being “some black man’s b*tch” (WTF??). She’s very clearly unhinged and not normal. It is not worth engaging or trying to talk some sense into these people. I hate these people who think they have the moral high ground because they have the means to never leave their house. Honestly, I hope people like this poster stay bidding in their homes forever. Society would be better off without them. |
| Why do the states with the strictest mask mandates have the highest curves right now? Could it be that we're dealing with a seasonal virus? The fear porn is out of control. This is going away no matter what in a few weeks/months. |
| The only thing I thought it impacted was suggesting that you should not travel. You cannot be home then if you are away on a trip. |
We don’t have that kind of curfew. We only had a business curfew for 10 pm. It doesn’t impact private parties —many of which are essentially speakeasies. One of my adult children says her neighbor is running one. Three nights a week, he has people arriving and partying until 11 or 12. It’s gone on for months. Police knock on the front door, his guests go out the back and he claims he’s just disliked as a gentrifier. |
Let me guess. You don't own a small, family business. |
Everything you are saying is wrong, meaning, non-factual. Not sure if you are lying, misinformed, or just stupid, but please don't post anymore. And if I hear the word "fear porn" one more time from someone ignoring over 3000 deaths a day, 100K+ hospitalized, I am going to scream. I think Northam's orders are the best we will get right now because we do have capacity and so far, VA's metrics have not been horrible. A lot of spread comes from social gatherings which are impossible to manage/control. Indoor dining is an issue, but appears to be less so than people getting together irresponsibly. I meet my friends every weekend on the driveway with masks and distance, but I know several social groups who have moved indoors. They think they are safe, but they are exposed daily at stores and at work. Three cases confirmed among these groups and lord knows how many they have exposed... A stay at home order during the holidays will never happen. Maybe in January when our numbers do spin out of control, but Northam is in a bad position. Right now he is relying on so far compliant Virginians to continue to do so, and to let jurisdictions do their thing---like Prince William County's new restrictions this week. We will see. |
If it’s seasonal that means it will come back next year and we need to be prepared to avoid it getting out of control each year. But in answer to your question, you are reversing the causality. States have enacted the strictest mandates in response to the rapid rate of increase. They know masks save lives. |
This is the problem when folks at home try to become public health experts. Yes, there is excess mortality, but did you know that, "According to the United Nations World Population Prospects report, approximately 7,452 people die every day in the United States. In other words, a person dies in the US approximately every 12 seconds." This is 2017 data. So, all the breathless "more people than Hiroshima" posts reflect a lot of ignorance. Lots of people die, all of the time, because they are old or sick. It remains to be seen whether most COVID (classified) deaths just switched the cause, hastened some deaths that would have happened during the coming year, or actually killed a bunch of healthy people. It takes awhile to have data come in. We do know that any death where someone has tested or is presumed Covid positive is classified as such a death, even when they died in accidents. So calm down your screaming... |
