I'm saying there is number for everyone where people who oppose lockdowns will stop, reevaluate, and reverse their positions.

And it probably is some threshold where you are personally starting to see the effects of the pandemic.

Wear as many masks as you want, because reducing stress has been shown to boost the immune system.

Note, these are not cures for Covid once you get it, it only controls transmission. Mandates cause people to resist, and should not be implemented in any way.

There’s a huge error in your thinking. X mitigation does not equal 1,000,000 lives lost while 100x equals 1,000 lives lost. It isn’t that simple, which goes to the silly argument that some models, with rather questionable assumptions, predicted 2,000,000 dead, so we saved 1,500,000. The model wasn’t possibly that accurate, very small changes in assumptions lead to wide variances in death totals. Models are not science, they’re models.

This was never going to be society killing disease like the plague in the 13th century. Then, Europe lost about 50% of the population, we GREW our population in this pandemic all the while greatly reducing health expenditures because no one was going for elective care. Loss of health care expenditures equaled half of the lost GDP in 2Q2020.

Speaking a lot causes my mouth to dry out and I don't want to contribute to global warming by drinking more water than normal. Eco anxiety also causes serious cardiac issues. Sorry, you're still going to need to pay for my existence and right to be safe.

I'm sorry, but the alkalinity of that water can't be guaranteed as I don't consume anything acidic to preserve my wellbeing. You also must take care of yourself and live forever as well as pay for everyone else so they have one less worry.

Not trolling and your condescension of my very real issues are signs of ableism rooted in white supremacy. I don't think you have any right to employment any longer.

YeeHaw.
