STOP DRIVING ALONE WITH A MASK ON


Mate, there was someone on here even trying to lobby a British minister just to try and get us to consider chess a sport.
And if that isn't silly enough: the best part of it? He was lobbying the wrong person! LOL.
Seems like you've run the gamut of nonsense within a simple discussion, doesn't it?
Multi-accounting, misdirection, misquoting, grassing/snitching, ad hom, passive aggressiveness, gaslighting, tone trolling, etc etc.
It's quite usual lefty safe-space behaviour though, I think. Translated from gimp into English, it's really saying "I don't like your comments. Please stop."
People on here expect me to hang out with guys like Roland - I'm not having it for more than 5 minutes. I promise you that lmao.
When in Rome, either do as the Romans do (play the victim, address character rather than content, etc), or just ignore it. If you mirror as a righty, even using the exact same language to the very word, then you will be criticized for it without the least bit of self-awareness, so I suggest not playing that game. Strange game: the only winning move is not to play (famous film quote).
There was someone I know who was extremely obsessive compulsive last summer and wouldn't go out or anything, and even she has lightened up since the vaccine roll-out over here. A lot probably depends on area, but a lot is just unrelatable also.
In fact, I see nothing on these pages about the Euros, freedom day, or much of anything people are talking about. People must be on Mars.

Kids under 12 have an infinitesimal chance of dying from Covid. They have a FAR FAR greater chance of dying from seasonal flu.
...how come ALL THESE YEARS no masks in schools during the worst flu outbreaks?
How come no quarantine?
Do you personally social distance and wear a mask during flu season because children have a MUCH greater chance of dying from flu than Covid.
There are flu vaccines for kids under 12. Also flu was pandemic but then it stopped because it spread too much, search it up. Also this year flu almost was gone because of coronavirus.

Why should we identify you as fully vaccinated when you are not. That's like treating adult like a newborn baby.

The original post is just 20 days old, and this newer post by UnclePeet is so outdated even though there was data about this already for a few months, that the variants are dangerous to kids as well, which means we should be vaccinated, I am under 16 and I have gotten both doses of the Pfizer vaccine, and on the 15. June, I have finished waiting the 2-week bodily immune response.

“0.1%-1.9% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in hospitalization”
“In states reporting, 0.00%-0.03% of all child COVID-19 cases resulted in death”

You STILL have a FAR FAR greater chance of dying from flu if you are a kid
Get real


Why do you completely change the subject?
A person said Covid is dangerous to kids and that my data is old
I present data from this week stating an infinitesimal death rate for young people complete with a link....and somehow I’m angry?
Now you’re on talking about what if governments did nothing...what does that have to do with anything I’ve said?




Is that what you’re saying?
And I haven’t been ranting about Covid...I was ranting about how I identify as fully vaccinated
All side convos branched from there

I think the govt had a negligible affect on this and possibly a negative one in states like mine
We have REAMS of data now a d it ends up that states with lax Covid restrictions did no worse than states with the toughest restrictions...in some cases they did better
We could then theorize air travel would have been a nightmare, and it would have, but the threat of lawsuit should would forced the airlines to suspend air travel on their own I would presume
The only place govt was helpful in any of this was president trumps administration removing regulatory hurdles to creating and making this vaccine available
Having these vaccines available in this time frame was a borderline miracle and only extreme partisanship prevents his admin from getting the credit it deserves on that

Do you believe all the data that the government provides you?
