Not everyone fares well from drinking and driving, but in the bigger picture, nobody is concerned about that issue.

You lost me at Toyota.

Okay so survival of the fittest is the solution?..

Do you accept that humans are a mammalian species, and very different from a plant, or a slug?
We all want to live. We also all want to live in a world without Polio, without Tuberculosis, without lead in our drinking water.. a world without drunk drivers infecting others with their own stupidity.
I had my Whooping Cough immunization redone a few years ago. So, that's not good enough? Do you think we should all get infected with malaria at a summer camp? Leper Colony with the opposite of intentions?
You know it's 2020 right, we don't have to live like primates? You don't have to use a toothbrush, either, or a lightbulb, but it's 2020. Might as well take advantage of what we got.

I've been climbing trees all fall & hunting from them. I need a good climbings stick, however. I'm attached to a life line with full body climbing harness once I leave the ground. I wish that I could climb like a monkey. I would save a lot of money on hunting gear!
I sort of believe early men were scavengers that ate animal carcasses & bone marrow from larger game killed by carnivores of that time period. We are pretty useless killing live game with our bare hands! Thus, I am glad bows, arrows, crossbows, and rifles have evolved. Taking out a deer with my Mirage doesn't sound fun either!
I enjoy reading the different perspectives on the COVID topic. Whether someone believes in microevolution, macroevolution, or creation doesn't really matter all that much. I also learned a person's sex drive is not lost while having COVID today. All good stuff!
It's OK to have different opinions on all this. There are still many unknowns.
If someone reading all these posts lost a loved one (because of COVID), they may look at this differently. That's why I always say every life is precious, & it is!
The Black Plague killed approximately 50 million western Europeans in the mid-14th century. The Plague still exists, but do we worry about it now? We have learned how to deal with it. My parents grew up worrying about polio as children, but my generation didn't share that concern. Thankfully, our learning curve is much sharper these days.
In the meantime, we should do whatever we can to protect those who are elderly or have pre-existing conditions. Wearing a mask in public & washing hands more frequently is not that big of a deal. If doing that saves one life, it's worth it.
If you think otherwise, that's OK! Just don't come visit me this week!

I'm not much for heights. I contract that stuff out with home renos because not worth it to me to save a buck, or possibly fall. That said, I have checked stuff on my roof before, and I own a 18' ladder that fits into my Mirage with the hatch closed!
Regarding beliefs on evolution and germs..Every person is different, and each household is different, and has different rules, and attitudes, and beliefs. The government has no business in the living rooms of the nation. But it's tricky when a party animal in 2020 shows up for work on Monday and doesn't follow protocols laid down for public health and safety, and becomes a spreader of infection.
Just like you said Mark: I want to say that there is no "opinion" on drinking and driving, if that was ever implied in this thread by anyone. Field cars when you're 17 is one thing that is stupid, but public roads is pretty darned evil.
