    Almost everyone is getting unemployment insurance PLUS an extra $600/week. If that doesn't cover your mortgage...you got a hell of a mortgage

    People working are not getting unemployment.. While you sit on your ass and get paid more not to work many of us have to still work.. We also know all those little shops around town will not exist if people like you get your way.

    How long do you think a society can function with this going on? Do you even care?

    We have a 25 year old on ECMO. No comorbidities. Had a woman in her 90's walk out of the hospital with minimal ventilatory support.

    No rhyme or reason to any of it.

    bored and need a haircut? Specialized retail stores with local manufacturing are shut. Those are not just retail employees. Medical employees are being laid off or working at reduced wages. High tech firms which serve retail and other non-essential businesses are decimated.

    You provide to us one example of a younger person who had a bad experience

    Allow me once again to cite to you FACTS

    my county is population 430,000

    6-week period there were 106 admissions for covid

    average age of all admissions = 70 years

    average age of those who died = 80 years

    % with cardiac, diabetes or pulmonary conditions = 86%

    those are the facts

    if you do the math, over a 6-week period, .000246511627 % of the population were hospitalized and if you use the 2-week time period from getting covid til really feeling it, then that is 3 cycles of incubation within these facts

    You really need to stop reading the agenda-driven stories. It's OK for you to hate Trump, to hate liberty, to hate conservatives. That hatred should not cloud your desire to get facts, not fiction. I am no fan of Trump for letting the bogus Washington State panic models drive his decisions. But, that is what he was being told by his medical advisors, to use mathematical models with no basis in facts.

    430,000 means that your county isn't even in the top 50 of the country. How many tests were conducted in your county?

    That reminds me, Auto accidents are a leading cause of death among young people. Think about that when you're bored and want to provide for your family!

    This guy heard that 90% of auto accidents happen within a mile of where you live. So he moved!

    So why do you want the infection to spread exactly?

    The OP is fine with kids suffering as their families go broke, as long as he feels safe.

    Then he post this mess about young people as a warning ?

    Easily the most selfish person I've ever had the displeasure of interacting on here.

    Because the spread is inevitable.

    We either live like hermits as the world crashes around us or we face the danger of the virus and open the economy. As the virus presents a danger to such a small group and the collapsing economy to such a huge group the choice is easy.

    Why would you want the economy to collapse exactly?

    Gonna spread anyway. The lockdown wasn’t to stop the spread but slow the spread or ‘flatten the curve’. Instead it is flattening hospitals since the hyper hysterical numbers never arrived.

    You ask this like -you- aren't willing to sacrifice a number of people so the economy can open back up.

    I already explained the impact of homogenous society to you, but you refuse to grasp it. I'm not interested in doing so again.

    I've no ideal how you can look yourself in the mirror as you promote a ideology based on "you" that will result in the suffering of millions of people including children across the world.

    I've had enough of seeing your heartless prattle about "you".....

    Going on my ignore list.
