Effective Outcomes are probably better achieved with voluntary participation rather than Force.

2020-12-16 17:24:26 UTC  

No in this case

2020-12-16 17:25:08 UTC  

I understand that measures need to be put in place to “slow the spread”. If we can’t stop the spread, excuse my french, but what the fuck are we doing? People’s lives are being destroyed by lockdowns etc.

2020-12-16 17:25:10 UTC  

I hate conversations about quarantine because nobody has the full discussion. And nincompoops just say errmygheeerd trump has blood on his hands. He must have personally killed 300,000+ people 🥴

Really.

2020-12-16 17:25:34 UTC  

Lol. One of the best masks I’ve seen was someone wrapped some lulu lemon leggings around their head and called it a mask over at a sushi joint.

2020-12-16 17:26:27 UTC  

yes the real deaths from the covid will come as a result of the many social consequences. For example, how many people are getting cancer treatment right now?

2020-12-16 17:26:28 UTC  

@Phil, you just advanced to level 17!

2020-12-16 17:26:48 UTC  

True true true

2020-12-16 17:26:51 UTC  

This is the point I was just trying to make 🤔 @meglide

2020-12-16 17:27:07 UTC  

👍 🥵

2020-12-16 17:27:42 UTC  

unfortunately, we're playing spin the wheel in a game of the law of unintended consequences

2020-12-16 17:27:47 UTC  

@busillis any news with regards to aliens taking part in the coup?

2020-12-16 17:27:58 UTC  

How about just because we are doing less business with other small countries who relied on that for their own survival. There has been a doubling of debt and there has been a three-fold increase in child malnutrition.

2020-12-16 17:28:15 UTC  

No yet...

2020-12-16 17:28:28 UTC  

I worry about what will be left at the end of all this...

2020-12-16 17:28:43 UTC  

This.

2020-12-16 17:28:48 UTC  

yes this is a good point. many charities in the developing world will see a massive drop in their donations. i think even the WHO admitted millions could die as a consequence

2020-12-16 17:28:49 UTC  

I personally wear a Mask in places that they request them. I do it as a sign to put the Employees at rest. I don't wear it expecting any Benefit from it.

2020-12-16 17:29:18 UTC  

I do the. Same.

2020-12-16 17:29:23 UTC  

@William Dinan Do you, like me, draw a cat's face on it?

2020-12-16 17:29:32 UTC  

@William Dinan dont forget to move your mask out of the way to cough

2020-12-16 17:30:07 UTC  

Like the corpse (Biden)

2020-12-16 17:31:01 UTC  

Only mostly dead...and the most important thing not Trump.

2020-12-16 17:32:22 UTC  

Maybe put "If You Can Read This. You are Too Close"....lol

2020-12-16 17:32:49 UTC  

Same. If people like to believe the masks 🎭 are some magical shield, I’ll play along. There’s plenty of conflict in 2020, making some McDonalds min. wage employee make a scene kicking you out because store policy seems unnecessary.

2020-12-16 17:32:53 UTC  

If trump said wear a mask im pretty sure they would say he was authoritarian and oppressive

2020-12-16 17:33:26 UTC  

@Phil pretty sure you're right about that.

2020-12-16 17:33:49 UTC  

oh yeah ... and the long-term consequences on health and well-being of millions, there's a trade off space here that we have very much failed to navigate properly

2020-12-16 17:34:40 UTC  

Did you see the studies suggesting that covid makes men sterile?

2020-12-16 17:34:45 UTC  

I agree. Causing Drama or Stress over a Minor Inconvenience is not a Hill I want to Die On.

2020-12-16 17:35:39 UTC  

I heard anecdotally that the use of ventilators drives the virus deeper in the lungs.

2020-12-16 17:36:25 UTC  

correct just keep the grocery stores open and I'm happy to wear a mask while shopping

2020-12-16 17:37:07 UTC  

True. That seems reasonable. There’s plenty of space to keep your distance.

2020-12-16 17:37:45 UTC  

Yes. Eating is more important to me rather than making a Political Statement in a Grocery Store.

2020-12-16 17:38:18 UTC  

What’s the general consensus on small restaurants? IMO if Walmart can be open and have a few hundred customers a mom and pop shop can support their light traffic.
