[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The entire dialogue around Covid is insane.

Year to year - according to CDC - more folks die of heart disease and of cancer - not combined but in each of those categories.

It is unclear why children are being sacrificed.  Yes - they can spread it but can we do an intelligent cost/benefit analysis on this?

In the DMV during this whole almost year now, nobody has focused on children or their needs.  Its all about the teachers and their rights, darn it!

But great news, obese folks are priority for vaccines.

It's absurd.[/quote]

410,000 Americans have died in a year of COVID19 and tens of thousands more have long-lasting severe medical conditions (including heart disease) as a result of having had this highly transmissible disease (which makes it quite unlike cancer or heart disease) and you’re still going with this absurd take? My uncle died of COVID19 last week, having believed exactly what you are saying, and we are almost certain he got it from one of his kids who is a high school teacher in a part of the country that’s open for school.

Your elderly uncle should not have been socializing with people who could be contagious. [/quote]

Well, I guess that’s told him right off. I mean, it’s hard to avoid socializing with the people you live with, but ... 🤷‍♀️ [/quote]

Exactly. Your uncle and his adult child are both adults who need to take responsible for their living arrangements, life choices and risk level. [/quote]

WOW. Take a hard look inside yourself, PP, this is ugly. And I say this as someone who sees value in school reopening. There's no need to minimize the tragedy here by insisting anyone who dies had it coming,[/quote]
