Cool story bro. Hope they can scrape enough bits of your carcass off the interstate for the funeral someday.

This could happen. But it’s not relevant to whether they should be mandatory or not.

People should be able to lawfully make their own choice for themselves.

I give you the biggest and most depraved politician in America, Bill de Blasio...

Is this real life???

Is this real life???

Unfortunately, yes, it is. Very sad and wicked on his part. He is single handily ruining NYC.

That sucks. Sorry. You seemed to have had an usually high amount of young people in your circle of life to die from this.

I sort of feel bad about it, but he won 65% of the vote. People knew what they were getting. He’s in his second term now.

I bet a lot of New Yorkers are thinking that old dic pic looks like a rationale choice at this point.

I was thinking through that a bit today. This is the first that is really in my direct circle - but second degree there have been a couple others. Co-worker’s sister and another’s kids’ soccer coach.

Yea, I remember the soccer coach. All seem young, that is the most surprising part.

Are other countries, including the US, testing asymptomatic people at the same percentage? Does anyone have any information on that?

I highly doubt it.

Sorry to hear that.

Your daily dose of Karen.

There shouldn’t be seatbelt laws, at least for anyone 18 or over.

Should there be safety standards on car manufacturers?

 

[volfanhill]

Your daily dose of Karen.

These people are the worst.

 

[clarksvol00]

Your daily dose of Karen.

So she consulted a lawyer to tell her if she had to wear a mask in the dentist's office? This is going to be an expensive day for her.

This one’s giving Karens a bad name.

I love it. I talked to my attorney and he said I had a right to sue. Stupid lady you can sue for anything

I suspect by "talked to my attorney" she really meant "consulted the internet."

Yup

 

[evillawyer]

And yet best case scenario is half a week of school in the fall.

Was the COVID-19 Test Meant to Detect a Virus? - UncoverDC

 

[lawgator1]

You are full fos because the whole thing is a hoax. President Donald "in complete denial" Trump said so.

We might not get football, but if you want to protest anything, quarantine rules don't apply. Can we stage protests at Neyland Stadium that involve a football? Getting so tired of the selectivity involved in "safety". Anyone who wants a return to some semblance of normal is vilified, while people tearing down statues are proclaimed heroes. People really are sheep to fall for all this bull ****. So ****ing tired of it. I get this virus is a serious threat, but I'm so tired of the damn fearmongers.

It's hard not to believe politics is in play with a lot of this. The same people reporting spikes in Tulsa after a Trump rally are the same damn people who have ignored all the protesters running free, setting up autonomous zones, and tearing down statues. We hear about how we must wear masks, how we reopened too soon, that cases are spiking here and there, and it's all Trump's fault, yet it was AOK for chaotic rioting and looting, and rampant vandalism to occur. All of those actions were seemingly defended, justified by outrage, and not one damn time did anyone scream about the spreading of the virus. But now, as people begin to cool down, virus fears rear their ugly head again. Why does this not seem like a coincidence?

And before some get the wrong idea, and I already know what the liberal response will be so I'm mainly directing this at the die hard Trumpers of the board, I am not defending Trump or making a case for him. He's an arrogant prick that has made some serious mistakes, and he's shown himself to clearly be another politician. But I do question how the media has influenced all of this, and I wonder if this is orchestrated to ensure Trump is not reelected? And yeah, I can understand why some would say "that's ridiculous", but if it's really ridiculous, where was all the outrage about virus spreading when chaos was breaking out on the streets? I mean, what the hell. If a Trump rally led to spikes in COVID-19, are you telling me mass gathering of protests and riots and such had NO effect whatsoever? Yet all of that was defended, justified, and even encouraged to a large degree.

Someone please help me understand, someone please offer up some sane reasoning as to how this all makes sense. Because I don't see it. And this goes far, far beyond the liberal reasoning of "Trump". The last several months have made me start considering conspiracy theories because none of it makes any sense. I feel like I'm losing my damn mind trying to understand all the bad **** that has happened. Yet some people seem to revel in it, fiddling Neros, enjoying watching it burn. And I find that sad. Tremendously sad.

How is everyone not severely depressed by all of this? Please, share your secrets, because this is one of those days I could use them. We're tearing ourselves apart, and it's maddening to me. I just don't get it.

Sorry for rambling, but I've had a tough day. I just want some sense of normalcy to return. Some shred of good news to brighten the day. But everywhere I look, it just seems chaos.
