Yeah, no judgment on orientation here. Just pointing out the lunacy and mis-placed priorities in New York during the pandemic of the century.

Quoting this because it's all that matters. The corona flu bug is a joke! Plain and simple.
Get on with your lives, if you're fearful, stay in your home and grow a pair. I'm so sick of this.
Imagine if a real serious virus swept across the world? Americans are so soft and weak. It would be catastrophic.
I saw what happened to this random dentist from vancouver on the news last night... not pretty, and vancouver has some of the best health care in the world.
He had to learn how to walk again. And the inflammation goes from the lungs to the blood... and spreads around and causes strokes, permanent heart damage.. who knows what else. This is not a joke pal. And I don't think you're an MD?
Don't let your toddler fly a 747, they're not qualified to have that opinion

I hope your right but there's a reason Epidemiologists are stressing we dont know the long term ramifications of being exposed to this virus. We dont know if it will shift to become more deadly or if even a vaccine will be effective. It's too soon to write it off as a joke. The data simply isn't there yet. I hope I'm wrong and your right and years from now we learn something about all this.
I don't mean it's a joke that people have died. More that the way it has been blown sooooo far out of control. If that is not obvious to you at this point, then all I have to say is yikes.
99.5% + survivable? And people are running around like it's certain death if you get this little bug.
I've seen some insane stuff in life, this is not one of them. This has been propped up by the media and the paid for scientists.
Masks are a total joke!!! And the words "social distancing " should give you pause. Wouldn't physical distancing be a better choice of words? There is a reason behind that, probably a bit outside the scope of this thread though.
It was always obvious as to why this little virus has been propped up for so long.
In the beginning it was about "flattening the curve" and not to "overwhelm" the hospitals, now it's all about the silly cases. There is enough data out there but most people choose to get their news from Facebook or the media. Good stuff.

I actually signed in to say that I didn't mean to sound rude. Everyone doesn't have to agree about everything. So I'm sorry if I sounded rude and I won't go on about it.
I am naturally skeptical too. Maybe mask wearing is overblown in its real effects, I don't know.
I just want to be able to still go to walmart, so I don't have a choice. I feel the same way about wearing pants optionally but what can you do. Haha just kidding.

Can't we all just agree that boneless wings shouldn't be called wings period? They're just chicken tenders cut into chunks. I'm getting real fed up with this.

It's too bad that Samaritan's Purse has their stance, and that created tension with NYC and its residents. I don't disagree with the point you are making, but I don't try to make hay over it and can't apologize for it either. I find it disagreeable, but for different reasons. It strikes me as a political talking point.
That doesn't change what happened - that NYC ICUs were overwhelmed with COVID patients. They needed help, got help, and implemented efforts (lockdown, masks, distancing) effective in slowing the spread of this disease. And those simple methods continue to be effective in controlling the spread.
Just to be clear, I don't like this disease either nor how it has changed our lives. The sooner it is gone and the sooner we can get back to our normal lives, the better.

Honestly, with a situation like this, and the dire consequences, you have to learn from anywhere where things are working.
And like I said before, somehow the East Coast provinces of Canada have somehow largely avoided any real outbreak of covid. I see the numbers on the news every day, and I think they must have great community-driven action to have no spread of this contagious virus. When you have an alien invasion the world needs to unite against a common enemy.
Hats off to the East Coasters, and we should learn from them. Like I said to my friend from NL (but in Labrador now), hats off.
Probably helps they closed their provincial borders, so nobody is coming in from anywhere else in Canada.
