Let Darwin decide who dies.


Which country does that? The US obviously doesn't operate that way and
never has.


We do it with motorcycle helmets.
If you don't wear one, Darwin gets a swing at you and the government
doesn't care.




The original story was we wanted to limit infection to prevent
overloading hospitals
We are there and have been for quite a while in the US.

Then it was we need to build herd immunity.
Between the vaccine and natural cases, we are about as close as we
will get. They can't fill all the vaccine slots they have now. Anyone
who wants the shot can get it.

Masks have gone from "the general public doesn't need a mask" to "Wear
2". The CDC has finally relaxed the rule and said if you are outside,
all alone, you don't need one. (like people outside all alone ever
needed one).

The lock down thing is, at best, inconclusive.
States that are wide open like Florida are not doing any worse than
states that are locked down.

You folks really need to pick a story and stick to it.


What is it about science that bothers you? Why do you have a hard time
with
the concept of learning as we go and adapting to what we learn? Where is
it
written that "In the beginning everything will be known and no new
information will be discovered"? I haven't seen that written anywhere.


So they are basing policy on the latest guess.


Nope, the latest EVIDENCE, ****wit.

This is far from settled science


There is no alternative with a NEW virus, ****wit.

and you seem to be admitting that.


More of your utterly mindless bull****.

I am about to be done with all of this crap. I had my
shots, it's been 3 weeks. What else do you want?


A modicum of common sense doesn't seem like too much to ask.


Basically you are saying this will never end


Wrong, as always.

because there will always be the chance
of infection no matter what we do.


More utterly mindless pig ignorant ****.

If the vaccine is working, why are we still wearing masks?


Because not everyone is vaccinated yet, and it takes time
for the immune system to develop immunity, ****wit.

If the vaccine is not working,


We know it is, very well indeed.

what is your idea of an end game?


I doubt we will ever get to zero chance of an infection.


What matters is that the risk is radically reduced, ****wit.

There are certainly plenty of small businesses that will never open again.


That's what pandemics can do, ****wit.

reams of your even more stupid **** flushed where it belongs
