    sorry to hear that, but I'm hoping your surgery goes well

    and I can empathize on a minor level....a few years ago I developed PVC's (pre-mature ventricular contractions), which is an irregular heartbeat. Fortunately it is a non-life & health threatening condition. I gave up coffee and in two weeks the PVC's were gone. Essentially, the node of cells above the aorta is responsible for organizing the heartbeat. In PVC's, a node of cells over a ventricle is a little too large or active and sometimes, jumps the gun and causes a bollixed heartbeat by trying to pump out of turn. The perils of caffeine

    the point I'm trying to make is when your heart is doing something 'wrong' you notice it...big time. It's a malfunction at your core that you can't help but focus on. And even though I had about the mildest form of heartbeat irregularity you can have, it was impossible to ignore it and focus on other things. I felt vulnerable to a degree, So, I can't imagine a severe form of heart problem not being terrible. Get well friend

    Well, unless they find out the virus can be spread over the internet, then masks won't be necessary. :bgrin:

    So in other words...

    You do you... but only some of you. Not all of you?

    If "you do you" includes opinions and one's opinion is that the majority of S2 are grandstanders, and you are pointing that out, then the you do you, is moot, no?

    Just asking, because it's like a, "what came first, the chicken or the egg", thing?

    But I'm saying I will wear a mask when I'm out around people, I am simply saying that I really don't want to wear a mask and so therefore I am simply doing everything I can to avoid being around people that much so I don't have to.

    The major cities are controlled by the police....the country is controlled by Republicans and the poorest in the nation live in the largest cities with the most crime and poverty.....it's not rocket science but go ahead....blame it on some mayors....when are you relocating to Bumfuck Texas to be with a more supportive population?

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    Sure are. Blame the Trump administration for killing off the police reform that the Obama administration had put in place. If that had continued reforming police departments, maybe this wouldn't have been a powder keg going off right now.

    you mean the major cities with large minority populations; cities that have been dealing with the seemingly intractable problems of racism & poverty for a century? LOL...yeah, why can't the current leadership of those cities solve problems that have been in the making since before the civil war and are completely welded to, and inseparable from the larger national issues

    where exactly did you get your PHD and what department did you specialize in to be able to go against pretty much any doctor specializing in this pandemic saying wearing a mask is essential when out and about.

    Well, on the one hand you kill several million people that didn't have to die. On the other hand, you have to wear a mask.

    It's a tough choice, all right.

    That is not correct. The more people that wear masks, the lower the infection rate, but it won't go to zero anyway (it is possible to transmit the virus while masked, it is just less likely).

    Not everyone/everyplace closed or social distanced. And some who did quit too soon.

    I never had a problem with this....I have a problem with mask denial and people who don't understand how this thing can spread....or that they may have it right now and be unaware they are putting it on surfaces or in the air …..on my walk yesterday I could smell cigarette smoke on a path I was on and nobody was visibly there....the smoke lingered....the virus can live 8 minutes in the air from several studies just like the cigarette smoke....we all need to change our views of how a pandemic spreads....I'm going to ask you this....have you been tested yet?

    Maybe means nothing. Maybe magical pixie fairies would come down from heaven and suck our dicks

    Lay off everyone from shutdowns

    Release criminals from Prison

    Mandate stay at home orders for several months

    And people will do this. But yeah, having more social workers out there would have done wonders. The violence happened in Democrat run cities. Cities. Not states, like you referred to above,, but the cities. They have been run by Dems for a long time.
