Covid isnt going away ever. Eventually we will have to just face it and pick up whats left after it plays out
hardytardigrade
This remains to be seen. If the vaccines give lasting protection and the virus can't mutate enough to evade them, maybe not.
copperdomebodhi
Then it's masks and keeping six feet apart forever. Nothing justifies sticking people with lifelong health issues or letting them die.
Tired of hearing "Just face it" from the people who won't face reality enough to take basic precautions.

Covid-19 deaths saw a direct correlation to decrease in other leading forms of death such as cancer and heart disease showing that measures
Taken to mitigate spread done little to nothing positive when it came to decreasing critical cases and that these deaths were likely to have
Occurred regardless of Covid-19

Yup, we all will. Until everyone* is vaccinated, kids included, there will be virus propagation.

porkEatingCrusader
What happened to “my body my choice “? Masks don’t work. The “science “ is actually political science.
SlyWolf5
So wait, you don't want anyone telling you what you can and can't do with your own body? Judging by your past comments, hypocrite.
AnalWake
It's an infective disease. Masks work. You wear them and avoid gatherings to protect others as well as yourself.

When your stupid fucking choices are very negatively affecting those around you, then you lose some choices and it's your own fucking fault.

Wrong on all counts. You make someone sick it's not your body, is it? Science is a process, not an answer or spokesperson.
vicvalour
*your body my choice* is more accurate, thats how diseases work, thanks though
Don't be daft, this isn't about you, this is about assholes infecting others because they're to dumb to put on a mask
You don't have a right to infect other people. Masks work: countries who took COVID seriously were having safe sporting events months ago.

Their response is that disease isn't dangerous therefore they aren't responsible. And they won't be around for when their victims die.

It's unfortunately a big part of our society. The shoes you wear are made by kids, the phone in your pocket was made by someone who lives in
a shack and eats one meal a day. Every piece of single use plastic goes towards suffocating the planet. By you I mean "us" though. I wear a
mask but there's 10 others in the shop who just don't bother now and it's because of that mindset that capitalism has fed. "I'll look after
number one".
Fritzy19
I tried to wear push a "wear a mask to show you care" idea at the beginning. Turns out they don't. A depressing realization.
Sh4dowWalker96
Even "mask it or casket" didn't get the point across, and that was started early on.
kichigaimentat
I compare it to driving drunk: your actions can hurt others. They twist themselves into knots trying to explain how it's not at all alike.
That's a really good analogy.

Sadly, the final answer will be "I won't die, and I don't care about old people, they'll die soon anyway. My fun is more important".
HaveYouHuggedYourUndertakerToday
As a mortician, had a COVID victims family refuse to wear mask at service. Told them they were the reason she was dead. Kept my license.
LogRider
Some young people are like that, but around my area it's mostly just the older people that are anti-mask and ignoring safety procedures.
Lowslefthand
Around here it's "They had prexisting issues and where going to die anyways".
Nearly everyone has a 'pre-existing issues'.
A shameful amount of my coworkers feel this way
America seems to have a monopoly on selfishness and stupidity.

ahernandez
“Why should I live in fear?” Why won’t you get the vaccine? “I’m afraid of the side effects”
ThrowItOnTheFloor
Which is why they won't get it, so they don't have to live in fear of the side effects..
Well, they will get side effects of Covid - a little more nasty.
A lot more nasty in almost all cases, but that is no excuse for faulty reasoning
nerdasaursaysrawr
I know someone who said that and still wears a mask because “I’m not a complete asshole”

Sarah Palin is a great example; she didn't care until SHE got it. OTOH, Herman Cain died and still tweeted that it wasn't that deadly, so...

Not only there. In Sweden the minister of health has said masks serve no purpose so majority of people don't use them
Which is great. Keep distance. Stay at home when sick. Americans act like masks are the ultimate solution. That’s dumb.
Dancingduo
The reason its not mandated here is because no one knows how to use them = make little to no use. Sanitize, put on mask - - - >
No touchy the face, change mask often, wash hands, remove mask, throw it in bin, wash hands again. Tegnell o co. knows the public won't >
Do this. They said so in the begining. And that's (one reason) why they say it doesnt work. They dont want false security. Stay safe :)

Have you been to a rural state/county before? Many are still Trump crazy and think the vaccine causes infertility and is somehow a tracker.

What happened to “my body my choice “? Masks don’t work. The “science “ is actually political science.
SlyWolf5
So wait, you don't want anyone telling you what you can and can't do with your own body? Judging by your past comments, hypocrite.
AnalWake
It's an infective disease. Masks work. You wear them and avoid gatherings to protect others as well as yourself.
Hammertulski
When your stupid fucking choices are very negatively affecting those around you, then you lose some choices and it's your own fucking fault.
LambeauField
Your comment history is like the closed captions on a Tucker Carlson marathon. Sad, really.
ChrisMorray
The fuck are you on about? Are you calling medical science political or what the fuck is this?
WeylandYutaniCorp
Wrong on all counts. You make someone sick it's not your body, is it? Science is a process, not an answer or spokesperson.
vicvalour
*your body my choice* is more accurate, thats how diseases work, thanks though
TheArtistFormerlyKnownAsTheBabyAteMyDingo
Don't be daft, this isn't about you, this is about assholes infecting others because they're to dumb to put on a mask
copperdomebodhi
You don't have a right to infect other people. Masks work: countries who took COVID seriously were having safe sporting events months ago.

Fuck off you lie spreading ignorant twat. Go back to the Parler hellhole you came from.

Your body your choice ends when your choice effects someone else. You're allowed to get drunk, but not drive drunk for example.

Their response is that disease isn't dangerous therefore they aren't responsible. And they won't be around for when their victims die.

I tried to wear push a "wear a mask to show you care" idea at the beginning. Turns out they don't. A depressing realization.
Sh4dowWalker96
Even "mask it or casket" didn't get the point across, and that was started early on.
kichigaimentat
I compare it to driving drunk: your actions can hurt others. They twist themselves into knots trying to explain how it's not at all alike.
Fritzy19
That's a really good analogy.

Sadly, the final answer will be "I won't die, and I don't care about old people, they'll die soon anyway. My fun is more important".
HaveYouHuggedYourUndertakerToday
As a mortician, had a COVID victims family refuse to wear mask at service. Told them they were the reason she was dead. Kept my license.
LogRider
Some young people are like that, but around my area it's mostly just the older people that are anti-mask and ignoring safety procedures.
Lowslefthand
Around here it's "They had prexisting issues and where going to die anyways".
EalisLav
Nearly everyone has a 'pre-existing issues'.

ahernandez
“Why should I live in fear?” Why won’t you get the vaccine? “I’m afraid of the side effects”
ThrowItOnTheFloor
Which is why they won't get it, so they don't have to live in fear of the side effects..
EalisLav
Well, they will get side effects of Covid - a little more nasty.
ThrowItOnTheFloor
A lot more nasty in almost all cases, but that is no excuse for faulty reasoning
nerdasaursaysrawr
I know someone who said that and still wears a mask because “I’m not a complete asshole”
JustJoshinya9001
Sounds like they’re just tired of being told to put on a mask. That’s still not great lol, but i guess it’s an okay “bare minimum”
elcee50
Sarah Palin is a great example; she didn't care until SHE got it. OTOH, Herman Cain died and still tweeted that it wasn't that deadly, so...
nikkinikorasu
He even tweeted it wasn't that deadly post-partum, iirc
elcee50
Yeah that's what I meant. I feel like you can't say something's "not that deadly" if you DIED FROM IT.
cozybonfire
The thought of HC giving birth is nightmare-inducing; I think you meant posthumous

Not only there. In Sweden the minister of health has said masks serve no purpose so majority of people don't use them
ybarnet
Which is great. Keep distance. Stay at home when sick. Americans act like masks are the ultimate solution. That’s dumb.
Dancingduo
The reason its not mandated here is because no one knows how to use them = make little to no use. Sanitize, put on mask - - - >
Dancingduo
No touchy the face, change mask often, wash hands, remove mask, throw it in bin, wash hands again. Tegnell o co. knows the public won't >
Dancingduo
Do this. They said so in the begining. And that's (one reason) why they say it doesnt work. They dont want false security. Stay safe :)
