Do you think that people are more accepting of following safety guidelines in areas where the average population is older and therefore has lived through more? How about In areas that have been hot spots with the highest case and death rates where people are more likely to know someone that has had a rough time, has long-lasting organ damage, or has died due to complications of the virus? In other words, If I haven't seen it yet, it likely won't affect me or mine so screw the masks and distancing..
It’s puzzling. I’ve concluded opinion simply fuels the debate on the side of science vs. science fiction and Red vs. Blue politics.

Interesting, I’m of the opinion it is simply a disconnect between ‘cause and effect.’ The typical stumble is emotion which creates a ‘knee jerk/feel good’ response. Given some time, the science prevails but it’s usually too late to be appreciated: the ‘history’ gets altered and we learn nothing. Then the cycle continues. The same can be said of ‘nurture vs. nature.’ Nature always trumps nurture but we again, and again, let emotion take over, often to disastrous results.

Eventually sound Science will surface on this CV problem, as it is now, the ‘cure’ might very well be worse than the cause. We won’t learn from it, too much ‘that sounds like a good idea, let’s legislate that!!’

One real tool in the reinvention of history that causes us to keep repeating mistakes is in the word ‘preposterous.’ Preposterous literally means ‘putting the end before the beginning.’ We do that all the time! We forget that there are junctures in thinking, thinking develops as true facts arise. The facts need to be objectively disclosed, unvarnished and unadulterated. Everything is ‘spin’ from selfish perspectives for personal gain or to push an agenda (typically political, sometimes with financial personal gain). We usually cannot revisit why decisions were made, at certain times, because we have so tainted and occluded the histories. We are so confused now that ‘bad is good and good is bad.’ If we don’t get back on track, our way of life is doomed.

Another fairly obvious thing is, one can tell which brand of ‘news’ spin (read: propaganda) one follows by his, or her, reaction to this ‘pandemic.’’

Here’s an Interesting math test! Plus it’ll test your ability to think beyond the facts:

The State of Maryland (with two highly populated counties bordering DC) just announced that their ‘Contact Tracing Task Force’ of 1700 people will now start ‘contact tracing.’ The ‘’task force’ plans on making up to 1000 contacts per day!!

Well lets see, you didn't say that each person will do 1000, so that means that each person is tracking .58 people, per day. I don't see where they expect the person to do .58 additional every day after either. So that must mean they need to hire more people. Right?

So far all the evidence points to the contrary, unless of course that pool is inside (yes, as in ‘out of the sunlight’) a nursing home.

Get outta my pool !!! ‘Government mandated’ is a pretty tenuous and weak position to hold, considering more than half of any and all ‘government’ has different and exactly opposite opinions.

Here’s an article citing that same pic! Small world:

Setting aside your inflammatory inference that ‘conservative politicians would see this [dwindling SS benefits] as a positive,’ it appears you may be unable to ‘see the forest for the trees.’ The economic devastation of capricious and politically motivated shutdowns and kneejerk payouts compounded by lax Gubmint scrutiny will exponentially eclipse your irrationally perceived Social Security ‘savings benefit,’ anyhow. Your argument fails on multiple levels.

Additionally, what do Antibody tests have to do with your position? If anything, a high number of antibody tests merely point to the likelihood of even greater numbers of people being asymptomatic.

I deleted my opinions regarding the COVID epidemic and how it’s being handled by our top political leadership. It simply doesn’t warrant debate. Speaking of seeing the forest for the trees it helps to listen to our President’s own words on how to control the Corona Virus:

I can see clearly now.

Since most our ‘journalists’ can’t report accurate news, its now even more sad one needs to rely on ‘comedians.’ Even more troubling is when one’s message is hosted by neither journalist or comedian, Ellen DeGeneris. ‘Nuff said.
