I never thought I would see a time when so many people would be so afraid of dying that they would be willing to stop living!

Great observation, me either. I'm not afraid of dying just how it happens, fast is my pick. The only real surprise in life is the day you leave.

I don't think it's about fear of dying as much as fear of dying needlessly we could of saved over a 100,000 lives by just wearing masks ,and I can do everything I want wearing one it prevents me from doing nothing .

Give it a break, people have not stopped living, except of course for the nearly three hundred thousand killed by Trumps bumbled plague. They are simply asked to spend a few months wearing masks when interacting with those outside their households and diligently practice hygiene until the vaccine has been distributed. Carry out instead of dine in and church service on TV and you whine like you were living in London during the Blitz. Being a decent and considerate person will save the lives of your fellow Americans, is that really too much to ask?

So far masks haven't worked so most people have stopped living in the way they were used to.
Stay well.

You say, “I am ‘simply asked’ to spend a few months wearing a mask.” What a joke. It’s to the point now that if I don’t wear a mask I’m verbally abused – not physically…YET – and/or “turned in” for not wearing one. I’m also not allowed in stores, doctors’ offices, my employer’s facility, etc. and am being told to STAY HOME! All for “simply” not wearing a mask. I’m not being “simply asked,” I’m being coercively forced to submit to a “simple” edict or I can’t function freely in society.

Even if it were the case that not wearing a mask somehow violates other people’s rights, this argument leads us to some troubling questions. For example, what kinds of communicable diseases function to make it necessary to wear a mask and void one’s right of free movement if one is not worn? How deadly does the disease have to be? How contagious?

You’ll say just wait until the vaccine comes out. Well, I’ve got news for you Kevy. These layers of government power will not go away when the crisis subsides, but will rather remain, becoming the new normal. And once the vaccine’s in place, it won't remain status quo but will only get worse. The powers that be have already proven what they can get away with and they won’t stop there. You’re a bigger fool than I thought if you believe they won’t Kevy.

And one last thing Kevy. You say, “Being a decent and considerate person will save the lives of your fellow Americans, is that really too much to ask?” Is that really too much to ask to be a kind and considerate person and quit murdering hundreds of thousands human beings each through the barbaric practice of abortion. Judgment is coming for that Kevy and it’s coming REAL soon.

I feel so sad for Trump. He’s been plagued by lies perpetuated by the ignorant.

Yes, it would be a sacrifice - something we have done before -just ask the World War II generation.
And make no mistake, we are at war the COVID.

Nothing like hyperbole to spread a lie. The lamestream media and the experts have EXCELED at it.

Sons of Liberty Loc: look behind you!

I'm having a hard time mopping up what you're spilling here. You want to bring up WWII...the war which many sacrificed their lives fighting to defeat socialism and a cartel of rich egotistical m/fer's wanting to control the world. That is what they're doing with covid. They're controlling our lives and the left is more happy with them doing so.

Carol Kelly

Well said.

There's a vast difference between sacrifice and controlling our lives.

Sons of Liberty Loc: look behind you!

So, what you are telling me is that I need to sacrifice my way of life, so they can control my every move. The two go hand in hand with one another and sounds like world dominance to me.

Leave the gun. Take the cannoli. Loc: Pa

You are exaggerating here. Sacrifice does not mean “they control your every move” or “world dominance”. This is not politics. We’re at war with a dangerous virus, and we’re all in this together. Individual sacrifices (and we’re talking temporary) are simply a tool to get through this. If we don’t slow the spread, our overwhelmed hospitals will be in a state of TRIAGE.

A very truthful comment. I hope you don't mind if I borrow that some time.
