    I think the way you put it is blunt but a lot of people feel this way.

      I’ll always speak my mind, and these people will never accept the fact they got played. They will all just listen to every little thing the gov tells them to do, like the good little sheep they are. If they brought vax camps and train rides to them, all these people would jump on with out hesitation.

          Lmao I do not give a single shit what you dumb fucks on the Internet think or say. Y’all got played and you’re scared to admit it. You’ll learn eventually, otherwise have fun living the rest of your pathetic lives in fear of a cold. 😂

            Yeah, the way you speak and argue clearly shows how much of not “a dumb fuck” you are. Veeeery convincing.

              The question is why are you so scared of the cold in the first place? 99.6% survival rate. How is that scary? Genuinely curious, explain why that’s scary to people. Bunch of downvotws but no one to explain why the cold is so scary? Hmm

                If I answer, will you actually listen? I’ll believe you if you start by answering my question of what the survival/mortality rate of the common cold is.

                  Either way you’re not gonna change my mind and I’m not gonna change yours, but I’ve always been curious why people are so scared of that bullshit when you face hundreds of other ways to die every single day with out batting and eye. You have a higher chance of being hit by lightning than dying from Rona. So what’s so scary about a cold?

                    Where the fuck do you live that more than 1/200 people get struck by lightning?

                    Fuck it. You say 99.6% survival rate, as if you can effectively round it up to 100% and say it’s totally harmless. What it really means is that about 1 in 200 will die. Here in the Denver metro area, where I live, that’s almost 120,000 dead. No doubt they spend time in the hospital first. We don’t have the hospital infrastructure to support that kind of influx, and that’s not even counting those who need medical care but survive.

                    My daughter was born just over a year ago. She was 3 months early, and I WISH she were 2 pounds because that would’ve been more reassuring considering her actual birth weight would be rounded down to a single pound. She only got fully released from needing oxygen about a week ago. I can only imagine how things would’ve been if all the wonderful doctors and nurses we were fortunate enough to have were assigned to COVID units because the world ran the way you wished it did. Hell, I’m thankful we didn’t have to deal with it the way things actually were in 2020. Because what gives us a cold could send her straight back to the hospital and hopefully she gets out.

        You don’t do much critical thinking in your free time, or do you?

          Coming from the one who is scared of a fucking cold. You have a higher chance of dying from the flu than you do Rona, but keep living in fear see where that gets you. 😂

            Have you heard of the psychological condition of paranoia? Maybe you should look into it and talk to some professionals.
