I have stopped staying in, stopped wearing gloves. I never wore masks. I don't wear disposable gloves anymore when I pump gas or go into stores, and I quit spraying bacteria killer whenever I get back in my car after leaving a store. I did all these things until a few days ago. Although I always suspected this virus panic incitement was a fraud. I have now determined 100% it is.

A couple of things have really influenced my decision lately:

1) The strident opposition by the media and Democrats to any attempt to re-open businesses in states with GOP governors (while giving the Democrat Colorado governor a pass.)
2) The barely-covered revelation by researchers that likely MILLIONS of Americans have had COVID and were unaware, because in most people, symptoms are non-existent.
3) The barely-covered revelation that nearly all the non-elderly COVID deaths have been extremely obese people.
4) The admitted manipulation of COVID death cause reporting by government officials.
5) In this information age, STILL a lack of consistent basic information on this virus.
6) It's April 25, and as yet I STILL do not know of anyone personally who has had the virus, nor do my wife, nor do my kids. I STILL have never heard of a single conservative with COVID, except for Rand Paul, who despite a damaged lung, did not comment on any difficulty. Conversely, I personally knew six people who had H1N1, including a friend of a friend in his 30s who died from it.
7) The silly dishonest "Lysol" attack against Trump on something he never said. I think THAT was the last straw. That, to me, shows what this is REALLY about.


So that's it. I'm not young, but I am in great shape, and actively getting out and going to stores is how I am protesting.

You took far more precautions than I have

No mask, no gloves, and used purell twice in the last 6 weeks

I have to work from home however as my workplace closed the office (all employees are to work from home if possible, at least for NA and European locations)
 
I go to the store to buy food. You do it as a protest. You are one strange dude.

I never wore a mask or gloves, hand sanitizer was gone long before I even started looking for it ... so, I guess, nothing changes for me.

I do, however, have a small mask hanging from the inside mirror in my car ... just in case Walmart freaks out like the rest of the world.

You omitted #8, having your affairs in order. Good luck to you and yours.
 
Good.

I didn't infer that. I just want people to to have their affairs in order. You know, like an advance directive?

I never HAVE done any of those things and it IS a big dog-n-pony show - a fraud if you will - this virus scare.

And I go every and anywhere I want - that's open at least.

I'm not really protesting, I just refuse to be a sheep. I refuse to give away my freedoms to some sad-sack, wannabe dictators.

These viruses, they come and go. Always have, always will. If people want to panic, buy all the toilet paper on earth whatever else, let them.

I'm not interested.

That's the way to be. Sadly, there are so many gullible people who carry the water on this stay-at-home stuff.

Looking at your thread title I see that your wilful ignorance has already affected your ability to spell.

Go ahead on and lick all the windows you want. Wear a MAGA hat so the public will know to give you the physical distance.

"Safe zone"

That's a fantasy if I ever heard one !

Life on this great earth is beautiful.

And dangerous. It's always this way.

I think the reason the left is fighting Georgia on their opening up policy is they're scared to death there will be no more cases, and more people will come to the realization some of us have, that this thing has always been a fraud. The left's game is to keep things shut tight and damage the economy as much as possible.

omg. The typo police working overtime.
 
In my county masks are required when you go to stores. So I wear one. But I don't wear gloves. I have always been using hand sanitizer after I pump gas so that won't change, but I'm going to stop being so germ-phobic and virus-phobic. After watching the video posted by Mycroft by Dr. Erickson, I understand better how to deal with this virus.



Hiding out at home reduces our immunity to this virus. Washing counters with sanitizer and trying to live in a bubble is not letting our immune system do its thing. The healthy ones need to get out and live again. No masks, no gloves, open up the restaurants, start opening up businesses and still do testing. If you have no symptoms, go to work.

Herd immunity is real. The biggest problem we are facing by all this panic we are doing with shutting down the economy and hiding out at home is when we do start opening up society again, our immune system will be lower and more people are going to get sick. That is the tragedy.

The Doctors in this video are microbiologists with years of experience. They are using data and facts about this virus. Well worth listening to at least to stop fear and get informed.
