[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You must have a really charmed life if you think the minor restrictions during a health pandemic are wrong.[/quote] 1) these aren’t minor restrictions 2) there is no more pandemic Sorry to disappoint you [/quote] FYI. It is not over, though things are obviously looking better. But I note the contrast between your presumably pro life attitudes and the 500 Americans that are dying every day. More Americans will have died in the last year than died in WW1 and WW2, and likely will surpass the number of Americans who died in the Civil War. Those wars lasted longer than 15 months. The Small Man and his supporters will bear that burden until their own deaths.[/quote] How many people died yesterday of cancer? Heart attacks? Drug overdoses? Shootings? Committed suicide? While your one assumption about my pro-life stance is correct, your argument is full of holes. And yes, in the US, the pandemic is basically over. Yay for science. [/quote] If you voted for the Little Man, you bear the burden of voting for someone whose utter incompetence directly led to the death of thousands and thousands of Americans. And, no, the Little Man is not responsible for those who died of heart attacks, overdoses, shootings (except by right wing bigots), and suicide (except for 2 Capitol Police Officers). And, yes, Cuomo made some mistakes, but he at least tried to help the situation, and he faced it long before most anyone else had to face it. And, no, the pandemic is not over. We wear masks when appropriate (inside in particular), because no vaccine is 100% effective, because COVID vaccines are better at preventing death and serious illness than actually getting it, because you can still transmit COVID. The initial trials were focused on preventing death and severe illness, not simply getting COVID. The 90% plus figures for the vaccines relate to severe illness and death. The science today is less clear on transmission, etc. And no single study will provide a clear answer. And Fox will simplify what is a complicated and nuanced subject. And, of course, what happens in India will not stay in India, so variants are of concern. The goal is to stamp it out, and we are not there. So, with due respect, your pro-life stance is somewhat absurd. [/quote]
