With restaurants, bars, hotels, salons, theatres and retail establishments being crippled here (and going out of business at alarming rates), you have to wonder at some point whether the lockdowns are even beneficial. The survival rate of this virus is 99.97%...
Seems like wiping out people's businesses, life savings and ability to even visit family and loved ones is more detrimental than the alternative. Not to mention the millions of kids missing school and the increasing suicide rates. The free states are currently no worse off than "lockdown states", with regard to the spread, so perhaps living in fear is not the best alternative. |

I guess that depends what you consider to be living in fear. Most people are advocating proper distancing, capacity limitations and wearing a mask. Doesn't seem alarmist to me. I might use the word practical.
On another note I've noticed that in the year I've been wearing a mask in all social situations I have not even had so much as a runny nose. |

Living in fear doesnt prevent death....it prevents life.
Nobody believes in fate anymore.

Oh, I've thought of that. I've been eating more fast food to balance it out.

They could open up most businesses and schools while employing masks and social distancing measures (being careful and practical). Some of these governor/dictators are on a bit of a power trip. |

Who is they, though? The government of the state has made their stance clear on the issue and the plan isn't what you're proposing. |

I am going to bow out of this. Nobody's mind will be changed, and everyone is entitled to his/her own beliefs. No upside to debating this in a sportscard forum. |

https://www.bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n579 However, there are more than the two outcomes from COVID than you're talking about - perfect health and death. COVID causes long-term problems in a lot of patients - heart issues, brain issues, and more. My brother is 15+ months out from getting COVID and still doesn't have his sense of taste back. It's a lot more complicated than just "you die or you don't". In addition to that, there is the significant burden that COVID places on the health care system. That has the effect of harming the care available to non-COVID patients. None of the above should be interpreted in any way as advocating opening of businesses or closing of businesses. |

My two adult daughters caught it three weeks ago and they seem to be through the worst of it. Both lost taste and smell, but it's slowly coming back. That looks more to me like a Wade Boggs rookie wrong front.

Not much different than cigarettes, alcohol, guns, motorcycles. People decide how much risk they want to assume. The gov't doesn't make the decision for them. At this point the cat is out of the bag. Texas and Florida have dispelled just about every liberal myth related to covid. Yet liberal states still choose to fear the boogeyman.

So, by it being "not that much different", you're advocating for government intervention. That doesn't jibe with what you said above. Texas just had a 27% jump in weekly cases. |

Stop getting your news from CNN. These sensational stories are so 2020.

Your feigned befuddlement is actually comical. As if sensationally false headlines, of which this is one, don't come out of CNN every five minutes. Feel free to point out the where the 27% increase is:

And by the way, in case you weren't aware, second-hand smoke can cause cancer in non-smokers. Because of that, smoking is banned in many public buildings in many places. You can use that in an analogy if you're so inclined.

Here's an analogy for you...Forcing everyone to wear a mask, was like the Gov't saying everyone has to wear a motorcycle helmet whether you own a motorcycle or not. After all, you might get hit by someone riding one.
