JDog Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 I have been watching the Americas Cup races. Participants from all over the world and large crowds, no one wearing masks and no social distancing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walker570 Posted February 14, 2021 Report Share Posted February 14, 2021 Heh! the media have to keep this going, even if they had one case out in Mongolia it would hit the headlines although I see the Sussexes are doing their bit for global warming and doubling their contribution to the ever increasing over population, so that will be front page tomorrow no doubt.

Sounds like you are saying that you are fed up being inconvenienced by restrictions and happy to accept any Covid deaths caused by not following restrictions aimed at minimising casualties.

I personally would not equate some being selfish and not wearing masks as, We are over it. Some of us will die, some of us will not. If most Americans are thinking that, i would assume most are not getting vaccinated, as they are over the whole CV19 thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And how many Americans do you know of around 300 million. I know people that are happy to get on with it, with minimal restrictions around 4, the fact that i know that is meaningless. If i knew half the population and what they thought then that would mean something. Edited February 15, 2021 by ordnance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well considering that there are minimal restrictions in place in most States I would say that they are learning to live with it. People are at work, shopping, eating and drinking in bars and restaurants. If they weren't happy to do so do you think they would willing do this? I know you think we should be in a draconian lockdown but the facts are that the US has taken a different approach and seems to be getting along OK.

Mungler Posted February 15, 2021 Report Share Posted February 15, 2021 Maybe the Yanks have worked out that screwing over 99.9% of the population and consigning 2 generations to poverty isn’t worth it for the 0.1%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of us will die, some of us will not. If most Americans are thinking that, i would assume most are not getting vaccinated, as they are over the whole CV19 thing. Some are getting it some are not. My wife works with COVID-19 patients at the hospital so they originally said that hospital employees would have to get the vaccine. My wife and so many others said they would give their two week notice so the hospital backed off. To be honest if it would have been just made available she probably would have gotten it. But when your told you have to get something then that triggers something in most Americans. My wife’s aunt works at a different hospital than my wife and had the first one shot vaccine. She then caught COVID and gave it to my wife’s grandmother. She is in the hospital now. But now they are giving a more effective two shot vaccine but my wife still opted out of it.

I know you can’t sell alcohol after 10pm and you have to put hand sanitizer on your hands before walking up to the all you can eat buffets. But other then that I don’t really know what we are “supposed” to be doing. The hand sanitizer before you fix you own plate is a good thing and the bars have found ways around the no alcohol sales after ten. At 9:30pm you give the bar tender $50 to buy you alcohol for the night. Then he keeps the beer flowing until closing. The at closing time they refund you what you didn’t drink.

She will tell you as will her nurse friend. Wear a mask if you want, or don’t. Doesn’t matter. Life goes on or doesn’t. The hospitals aren’t nearly as strained as the news are saying. They are saying they are to keep the government money flowing. And son that money is flowing! 2 minutes ago, JDog said: Then you have shown yourself to be an ignorant and irresponsible person. Why?
