    And the fact you can never back them up tells rational thinkers otherwise.

    Individual liberty goes both ways. I did not write "personal liberty" for a very important reason, in fact, the very reason you point out. Individual liberty is mutual.

    Pssst, not to break your mind or anything, but when you have to go back more than a ****ing century to find something comparable, it isn't common. How do you not understand that? Were you seriously unaware up until this post that the Spanish Flu is not a common occurrence or did you not understand the question you were asked? Those are the only two options, and neither is flattering. Which is it?

    Dude...if you have to compare this virus to the single worst pandemic of the last 150 years in order to make your point that this virus is not serious, then you are ****ing up a creek without a paddle.

    Those who actually realize this mutuality accept the necessity of social distancing. If you can't accept that, then you don't actually understand the words you are copy/pasting.
    This is a lie, and a dangerous one. I know the admins don't like the word "lie," but this is serious. Please learn the facts and quit echoing lies that put the lives of others in danger.

    No, he's right. The CDC is counting all confirmed covid deaths as well as all probable covid deaths. However, as per a study released from Stanford on Monday, there are 28-55 times more unconfirmed cases of covid than confirmed cases of covid. Covid is no more likely to kill than the common flu.

    A) This virus lasts several days, so no, a good night's sleep isn't going to fix you.

    B) Yes, most who get this virus will be fine. In fact, 95-99% will survive. But the fact that this virus is extremely contagious and the fact that it does kill 1-5% of the population is a very ****ing bad thing.

    Cool, let's see the study. If you're being honest, you should have no problem linking to it.

    The worst epidemiological tragedy in more than a century is actually an annual normalcy and nothing unusual. #denialistlogic

    Even that study that you want to hold out as gospel put the mortality rate at twice the seasonal flu and that is WITH incredibly intense pandemic control measures in place.

    This, again, is a dangerous lie. Please, please start paying attention to the truth, as inconvenient as it may be for your politics. Not only are non-IC people dying, but even non-IC people who never suffer are going to pass the disease onto others.

    I live in Houston, Texas which -- if discounting the huge numbers of illegals -- has an official population of 2.326 million people OR if you do count an estimation of the numbers of illegals . . . three million people. As of today we have 4,977 infected and 78 dead. For all practical purposes, statistically speaking, NOBODY in Houston knows anybody who's been infected, much less died from this flu.

    The common flu kills 59,000 AMERICANS every single year. Why have we not shut down the country before for this?

    Yes. Two weeks of struggling to breath at night.

    Sounds great.

    I know we'll never get a response to this, but it bears repeating. Their indoctrination depends on ignoring facts like this; I've seen the same point made dozens of times and none of them have ever responded. In other situations, this might have some entertainment value, but their indoctrination is now a public health hazard.
