It's not really a chart, but I can post screen shots of you agreeing with just about any opinion you can think of on this virus, including you agreeing this virus could kill millions of people. Would you like me to start posting those folks can see who the world champion waffler really is?

NEVER! This virus is my destiny and you godless freedom haters can't take it away.

I don’t have to wear a seatbelt when I:

Ride a bike
Walk down the sidewalk
Shop
Fish
Exercise in a gym
Ride the bus
Ride the subway
Etc

You only have to wear a seatbelt for one thing, and you’re not forced to do that one thing, it’s a privilege, not a right.

Was that a statement or an expression of disappointed?

Again, there is no real data on the death rates. Every county in Texas responds to potential cases differently and some of those who have been counted as victims of Covid were never tested. If you don't collect the data in the same way then you can't compare it.

More people will die from the mental health implications of the shut down than from the virus itself.

Can I wear mt Darth Vader mask? How about my Dark Helmet helmet?

Nobody is going to force you to go into public. They have an app for that.

Not looking for everyone to agree, I do think it's a short term viable option that could get the economy going again. Just my opinion from what I see in the science literature. Looks like about 3:1 on this forum would be okay with it. Interesting.

And as far as the masks go.

1. Get a mask
2. Get a squirt bottle
3. Squirt water through the mask.
4. Watch the droplets pass directly through the mask

Anyone who's ever taken an OSHA or 3rd grade science class knows that that air and water particles are preeeeetty small and can pass through a lot of spaces, including those between the threads of a mask. Unless it's the N95 mask and worn according to manufacturers specs, all it does is make you look like a sheep.

Never tried that but would it also penetrate MY mask from 6 feet away.

You serious Clark?

1. Get a squirt bottle.
2. Squirt it out into the air.
3. Measure how far it goes.
4. Put a mask in front of the squirt bottle and squirt it again.
5. Measure how far that goes.

Why aren't doctors just wearing bandannas if they are so effective?

Have you ever heard of the Harm Principle?

in it's simple form it is translated as you can do whatever you want as long as you aren't harming others. This principle would be applied to your view of civil liberty. Because you can be infected with no symptoms and therefore a carrier of the disease, you would be infringing on others civil liberties by infecting them.

So yes, the Govt. very well can order you to wear a mask without infringing on your civil liberties because the legal argument would be they are protecting others civil liberties. LOL


As to the others talking about seatbelts.....

As to the whole Civil Liberties aspect of the seatbealt law? It's hogwash, because me not wearing my seatbelt only puts myself at risk, no different then the old motorcycle helmet laws, I'm not harming others, only myself. It is indeed infringing on ones liberty.

Apples and oranges....

The issue with this virus is you can have it for 10 days and not have any symptoms but still be contagious. No I don’t want to have to wear one forever but for the short-term going to the store I can live with that.

At my job it is not an option as of today you wear it or get sent home so yeah you have a choice.

I suspect I have been very consistent with my opinion of the massive over reaction. I think you know that but feel free as to make up whatever you want. You have a habit of it I suspect. And that's just my opinion.
