Jesus fucking wept, dude. Healthy people are getting sick, too, and suffering from sequelae that may be lifelong. The economy can be rebuilt, but people can’t come back from the dead.

Look, of course healthy people are getting sick too. And most are healing just fine. Long covid is as yet unproven. The effects unknown but not likely to be much diff. than other respiratory viruses. I never mentioned the economy. This is about not just life but *living*...

Bullshit The first SARS was a respiratory disease -- COVID-19 is not 12% of hospitalized patients in China came out with cardiac damage, 30% with kidney damage A cytokine storm is a known, predictable "phase 2" of COVID-19 symptoms if you survive the "phase 1" pneumonia

Cytokine storms are not unique to covid and they occur in critically ill patients. Whats your point? They happen with many other, wait for it, *respiratory diseases* including common colds, flu, SARS, MERS, and a host of others. This is *not* indicative of "lifelong sequelae"..

Quit being so absolutist. You dont have all the answers and neither do I. I've proposed multiple solutions that grant individual deference to you and your individual concerns and decision making. Everything from you is "shitstain", "murderer", etc. Good luck changing minds.

I don't care about my "individual decision making" I mean big fucking whoop, I *always* had the power to make my own decisions Unless Trump were to actually go so far as to ban masks and make a law demanding people eat at restaurants, I always will have that power

And that power was fucking useless at actually stopping the plague or protecting anybody when all this started and it hasn't become any more useful in the nine months since

Fucking useless libertarian platitudes People getting killed in traffic accidents -- "Well, everyone has the power to drive more slowly and carefully" People getting food poisoning from restaurants -- "Well, everyone has the power to only buy from vendors they know and trust"

And yeah, actually, as far as the Machiavellian political strategy of it all goes, it's very clear that once people like you are allowed at the negotiating table, all will to do what needs to be done is eroded very quickly

As soon as it becomes a negotiation at all, the will for collective response crumbles The needed policies only get passed in an atmosphere of "panic" and "fearmongering" which means that it is absolutely incumbent on people like me to continue to fearmonger and demonize
