Latest Coronavirus - Yikes

You against traffic laws?
while I normally feel the same way I’m sick of Trumpers telling us this is a hoax and acting out stupidly at the peril of others. This virus is real. It will kill, and I have elderly family I’d rather not die needlessly. I’m just as concerned with these Bubbas as I am with the Bernie Marxist.

No one has said it’s a hoax but we also have to understand that healthy people have a better chance of getting killed by a polar bear than dying from COVID. The old and sick should be careful, the rest of us should live normal lives. No masks and open up. We can’t shut the damn country down every time some people get sick. We have tried your all’s way for 9 months, and nothing has changed

Perhaps. I remember talk of that when our deficit hit a trillion. Here we are and it still hasn't happened

That's because our notes are being purchased

There is a burger place here in the Boro and they are mask nazis, I haven’t went there since this started because these libs are in love with the mask they always post on FB about the mask. The places I go don’t make anyone wear a mask some of the employees don’t even wear one. And guess who has had to shutdown twice for positive cases? Hahaha this is too good to be true

Old people can’t think or make proper decisions for themselves and it’s not fair for healthy people to be able to do what they want.

Exactly. China can tank our economy, and they will down the road if we don’t play ball. China is ruthless.

Hey Roust,
Would you say that NY has been the most aggressive and done many things to keep their cases down?

So, what happened to Mick, anyway?

Covid get him? Temp or perma ban?

I think Mick is just waiting for a better ignore feature on VN.

Mick is a lost sheep.

Is there data which proves traffic laws save lives or prevent accidents?

The virus is deadly in a extremely narrow band of the population. The best defense for your elderly family members is common sense and normal precautions.

Yes, there is data that proves exactly that. God friggin grief.

Interesting how we approach problems in our country. It is generally more important for us to control and dictate appropriate behaviors of others rather than simply doing what we can to improve our circumstances.

The only person we can reasonably control is the person in the mirror. Ironically, that is the person we control the least.

I've always had problems with that SOB!

I think they can.

What happens when the government are mostly dumb.

 

[BeecherVol]

Let me know where you live and I’ll be sure and drive through the red lights and stop signs.

You wouldn't be the first.

I broke the speed limit driving to work today. Along with 80% of those around me. Passed at least 2 LEOs that didnt bother looking up from their phone assuming they were awake.

More laws should help.

An interesting note (or maybe not): I tested positive for CV19 on November 10. The clinic told me that someone from the health department would be contacting me. I guess for contact tracing purposes among other things. A month later and, nothing. No calls, no mail or email. Nada. Anyone else have this happen?

Supposedly in Knox County they are so far behind that they will only focus on children and those over the age of 60. I think contact tracing causes more problems than it solves. My family and I will not be participating with it should we get sick.

Most of the ones I know of claim the opposite actually.

They were out of options. The amount of teachers out at schools countywide was insane. That stuff isn’t public knowledge. I don’t know how many are actually sick and how much is from contact tracing. The school board and KCS did their best to keep it from happening, but really didn’t have any other options at this point.

It was mostly contact tracing not actual covid

Yep, Bo peep wouldn't have been more fitting though.

 

[Rickyvol77]

I think they can.

No they cant

 

[Rickyvol77]

I know first hand where a worker entered the work place with a positive test and didn’t quarantine. A fine for wanton disregard??

That’s not legal nor practical

 

[davethevol]

That’s what I figured.

 

[Rickyvol77]

You've assumed correlation. If traffic laws are effective at reducing deaths and accidents, the data should be easy to obtain.

Here are some morsels on which to masticate:

High speed roads (Germany, Montana) exist and the data of accidents and deaths per capita can be compared.
Traffic signals which lose power effect traffic flow/efficiency. Are accidents more or less frequent? What about deaths?
I don't have traffic my neighborhood. I live out in the sticks.

There are more traffic accidents when traffic signals are out.

Yes. My wife tested positive last month and got zero follow up
