[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Get a grip.  CV is going to be a permanent feature of human civilization just like Ebola and AIDS after they emerged.  What, are you going to stop the economy and spend trillions of dollars every single time a wave of CV comes? Fauci just warned today about multiple waves of the virus.  Deal with the fact that it exists, it'll kill people, and the vast majority will get over it after a slight fever and some coughing.

Emotional arguments will only hold for so long until economics takes over and people are staring at the threat of losing their homes and starving.[/quote]

What part of "health care system collapse" do you eldercide fanboys not get?

It didn’t collapse last year and it won’t collapse this year. Stop being so dramatic. [/quote]

It nearly did, and it's in the process of collapsing again. States with high rates of infection are running out of hospital beds (if they haven't already) and medical professionals are not going to hold up under another wave like this - they are burned out and many of them are leaving their profession and not looking back because of the non-stop stress. We had a nursing shortage before COVID - how do you think this is going to play out?[/quote]
The panic porn media highlights hospitals in some areas that are running out of beds and anxiety ridden people like you jump to the conclusion that it is happening in all of the thousands of other hospitals in this enormous country. [/quote]
We can have a real argument about how the media covers things (I’m in Eric Boehlert’s camp: they cover it poorly. https://twitter.com/EricBoehlert?ref_src=twsrc%5Egoogle%7Ctwcamp%5Eserp%7Ctwgr%5Eauthor) but it is actually pretty noteworthy that hospitals are - over a year into the pandemic, after vaccines have been made widely available, after every knows that masks and distancing slow the spread of covid - having to shut down departments and ration care. [/quote]
Is this happening everywhere though? No, it is not and it never did. [/quote]
Who’s claiming it’s everywhere? They’ve been pretty clear where it’s happening, and my doctor friends are pretty burnt out after the last year - and I live in a lower covid area. Is it less bad if it’s only in certain states? I thought you guys treasured life, but you’ve been pretty careless and/or gleeful about its destruction for the last year plus. [/quote]

It comes down to the "you're not the boss of me" school of adolescent tantrums. They all talk about personal freedoms and conveniently ignore the social responsibilities side of that coin.
