You should get your numbers straight before you write things like this "like the great plague.".

Do you really think there is any politiction out there who likes to shut their country down because of anything? Tanking the economy just because of some flue?

No.

Pandemic Experts (our experts, your experts) estimated that if we wouldn't do this, we would see a very bad outcome and Politictions decided that its more important to not hit this scenario and tank the economy instead.

Now your expert expertise on this is something like 'but let's not treat it like the great plague.'?

Funny enough, i'm in Europe and i do feel fine sitting at home. I'm quite happy that we don't have that high numbers as USA has.

The problem in the USA is not 'wearing masks outside and having no other restrictions' but 'coronavirus is a hoax' 'i can't breath with a mask' 'a mask is against the amendment' 'my freedom'.

And yes we have this stuff here as well. 20k people demonstrated because of masks. Like since when did our society became so antisocial or dumb, that people think wearing a facemask mandation made their lives so much worse that they want to demonstrate it?



Do you realise how combatitive your tone is? What benefits do you think it brings to the discussion?


Text does not convey tone. You are ascribing tone in your mind. Text is language and does not bring along gestures, facial expressions, or eye contact.. things your brain uses to detect tone and subtleties in the words

For instance based on this text your “tone” is combative, but I bet you are reading it in your mind with eye brows raised and hearing a different accent on syllables. Maybe you would say that first sentence a little bit quieter to show compassion, but I’m reading it as if you had an attitude on the words “your tone is”


Can you please answer instead of trying to manoeuver away from it with a lame distraction?
