Because one party has politicized a pandemic and made it about identity politics and "freedoms" and the constitution or whatever. The house is burning down and while most people are trying to fix it, one specific group of people is trying to say we should be trying to move back in because 5sqft of the livingroom is fine.

Yea, but he's saying because you're immune for 4 weeks, that my statement of "no immunity" is technical false bECaUsE 4 wEeKs iSnT zEro.

I already did. People are reporting no antibodies after weeks or months. When we've had a raging pandemic for 5 months with no signs of slowing down, that means it could continue in perpetuity. Politics? Maybe from you. I only care about my country.

That's just semantics. It's effectively true.

Why should our starting point be that "schools need to reopen"? Who agreed to that? I'm not saying its wrong, but why do you get to set the terms? This comes down to the value of life in preventable deaths and disability, and the party of "pro-life" and "family values" has taken a very hypocritical, but not unsurprising, stance here. People talking about re-opening are looking downfield before they've caught the ball, and we all know how that works out.

When people think of post-virus immunity, they typically think forever, like measles, smallpox, etc. Not a few weeks or months. That type of immunity is effectively useles sin a country that's operating like the US. https://www.the-scientist.com/news-opinion/studies-report-rapid-loss-of-covid-19-antibodies-67650

Every time I see people talk about herd immunity, it just seems they have no idea what it actually means. If everyone has to get a virus for you to have "herd immunity" than there is no benefit at all. You might as well put everyone in a room and spray them with the virus to get it over with. Herd immunity is only useful when there's a vaccine or natural immunity. Otherwise it's called getting infected. This is also forgetting that there may be no post-infection immunity from this virus.

You might as well wear a flashing sign that says you don't understand science. Letting it "run its course" sounds like something my grandpa would've said in the 1950's. There's absolutely zero benefit to that. Viruses don't die out when they get bored of infecting people, but when they can't continue to spread. First of all, it appears as though there is not immunity from this virus after contracting it. Second, in order to "let it run its course" you're talking about million dead in the US alone and millions more with permanent organ damage, strokes, etc. Stop the spread, kill the virus. No amount of "toughen up" fixes that.

Is Australia "most countries"? Take a glance at the graphs here and tell me whose company you would like to keep? https://www.endcoronavirus.org/countries Yes, there are more small nations that still have problems, but among the first world, only the US, Canada, Spain and Japan, and Israel are still surging. Canada is also way down from highs.

I didn't cite australia

Who's losing their mind? If we miss out on the NFL season, it's no one's fault but ourselves. As a society we didn't take responsibility for our actions and do what was required to end the outbreak. We're the only country treating it as an inevitable part of everyday life. Most other countries are already past it.

I'm sorry, are you saying that the only reason someone would shut them down after an outbreak would be for partisan reasons?

The Smithsonian, to start.

It is, but it's a bit limited to Elmwood, strip clubs and diners. At least that's what I remember ?

The bears are also a complete joke top to bottom, so there's that.

It took them realizing how wrong they were. Some people are capable of that - others, not so much

Wouldn't hate it for obvious running downs or situational pass rush.

He's very talented. I would've loved to have been able to take a flier on him for a late round pick.

Shazier compressed his spinal cord and was paralyzed. They couldn't possibly be less related.

Damn. Imagine being forced to move to the 'Rona epicenter right now.

For a player that's been sacked 410 times for that to happen on a routine play? I call that a freak accident. It's not like he all of a sudden has brittle bones.

Considering there's no such thing as a "blue life", probably. Black people don't have the ability to just stop being being black whenever they want.

Around $70 million. The fact that it happened once was a freak accident. If something that unlucky was to happen to him again, it's Final Destination for him anyway.

He's on the second year of a 4yr/$94 Million dollar deal. His heart will find a way.

You could always cross-train in the renewable energy sector. Unless you're 50, your job will be likely gone long before you can retire.
