Joe, do I really need to explain why I included the last sentence?JoeMauer89 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:17 amMD,MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 8:37 pm ^
Less funny, I know 3...and I know doctors who dealt with at least dozens of deaths each.
Thankfully, zero in my family and closest friends.
All wore masks when around others and all are vaccinated.
Why the need to add the last part? What if they hadn't worn masks when around others and didn't get vaccinated? Does it make me a bad person that I have some friends who did exactly that and are "still around" and no worse for the wear? The sentence should have ended with, "Thankfully, zero in my family and closest friends". There's no need for the last sentence. Nobody thinks it's funny either. You really let Petey take up real estate in your head, quite sad!

Or do you understand and just don't like it?
The troll who keeps decrying masks and pitching Gilead stock, seems to think no one died...though we're over 600K Americans now. And in the many millions worldwide.
To be clear, it was definitely not intended to be "funny", just as the deaths of people I do know, and the deaths that doctors I know had to deal with, are far from "funny".
The point is simply that masks and vaccines reduced the chances of people in my close orbit from getting seriously sick (others, mostly younger or living in the south, who did not wear masks, and were around others who did not wear masks, did get sick, but thankfully, the most vulnerable among our cohort were rigorous in their efforts...I should add that we also had the luxury, due to economic and job circumstances, to be able to socially distance pretty rigorously as well. Fortunate.
No, it doesn't make you a bad person because you have friends who made different choices. Why would you think anyone is saying that?
However, it does mean that those friends made choices that may well have contributed to others getting contracting COVID, and contributing to that chain of death. We'll probably never know.
Bro, you laughed at MDlaxfan because you think someone takes up real estate in his head... right after you went on a rant about a single sentence MDlaxfan included in his post???JoeMauer89 wrote: ↑Thu Jun 17, 2021 10:17 amMD,MDlaxfan76 wrote: ↑Wed Jun 16, 2021 8:37 pm ^

I don't need the same stock explanation you have given countless times. Live your life as best you see fit, you cannot control others and there are MANY other things in life that you CAN control that you would be better served worrying about. And if you think that mostly younger people in the south are the majority of people who do not wear masks, you clearly have zero clue what's actually going on in reality, you just repeat what you hear on whatever mainstream source that fits your narrative that you glean your news from. For pete's sake, quit with the preaching. Everybody KNOWS that 600K are dead from CV-19, there's so much more nuance to it than that it. I'm out of this cesspool thread, back to lacrosse for me. Not wasting my time with such narrow-minded thinking.
" We'll probably never know."
You just proved my point, WE WILL NEVER KNOW. Your getting hung up on something that you will never ever have the answer too.

Kram, Singapore has about the same case rate as Maryland (I assume you're still in MD?), yet is in complete lockdown.
They're understandably freaked by the variant and insufficient vaccine protection...they're getting supply now from China but the Chinese vaccines are less protective against delta...which is both more infectious and deadlier to a wider swath of the pop, including younger.
Thank goodness we have a high percentage of vaccinated here and are looking like we'll be able to vaccinate younger too, and thank goodness the MRNA vaccines appear to have high effectiveness with delta.
We have a decent chance of keeping this thing going lower as long as we keep getting more and more vaccinated and if the scientists keep ahead of delta or any other variant.
Meanwhile, it's wonderful to be able to get out and be with people more freely again!
