You missed the memo about advances in science.

You missed the memo about advances in science.

And you’re the science experiment

[agstar77]

So far the experiment is working. You cannot get a redo if you are dead from covid. I would rather go with living over dying, but that 's just me. You might be going on the afterlife theory.

Stop with the belittling already agstar. I thought we had a choice in all of this...or do we?

[flea beetle]

I see you have not been fixed yet. That shows there are part shortages. BL needs some parts too, that's a catastrophic breakdown.

You may have already been “fixed” by taking the vaccine. 😉

You have a choice , take your chances with covid. But don't use up medical resources when you get sick.

I told you, I will bring my own bottle of oxygen. Sheesh, you are such a “Karen”.

That isn’t how the health system works though. The obese still get treatment, the smokers still get treatment, the drinkers still get treatment, the...well you get the picture. So what makes this any different?

Like said above, provide a vax that has gone through the appropriate testing procedures, and I will gladly get it. Not some rushed mish mash of hopes and unicorn farts administered with a waiver to sign before hand. Or as you said above...shut the f up.

Same to you Agstar you have opted to take the risks of an experimental vaccine without any long term data on its safety. When you become immunocompromised with neurological issues in 6 months time due to the vax. Don't say no one told ya so and suck up health resources. You may try to sue the pharmaceutical industry that manufactured the vax but guess what they are absolved from any liability from vaccine damage, it's codified in legislation.

And the odds are in my favour of survival. I will gladly take a 99% plus survival chance IF I EVEN GET COVID, as opposed to a vax that nobody knows what will happen to you down the line.

This calamity is not being caused by the handful of people attending an occasional church service or the few who don't wear a mask, but by the chronic inability of a socialized healthcare system to respond to changes in demand. At present, there is literally no way for this to happen, or at least to happen promptly, so the rest of the economy must be throttled to whatever decrepit pace the central planners can run the healthcare system at.

And, naturally, that means effective house arrest for the entire population. At this point, I'm wondering if my golf partner can legally pick me up in my yard for men's night now. Or should I wait for him on the road? Once we get to the course, however, it's perfectly legal for us to share a cart. Not saying we shouldn't be allowed to do that, just pointing out the absurdity of the rules.

The mind boggles at the incredible complexity and contradictions that occur when your only tool is the micromanagement of the entire population.

It's all about obedience. Just do what your overlords command. That's worked so well so many times in history.

Seriously more conspiracy theories! A commie behind every rock. The free market U.S. did not fair any better, so you can shove your comment about socialized medicine. The healthcare system could never be ramped up to account for every emergency , you would call it too expensive. What we do need is a better response to detect and contain viral outbreaks. I blame the WHO and the world community that runs it.

"Seriously more conspiracy theories! A commie behind every rock. The free market U.S. did not fair any better, so you can shove your comment about socialized medicine. The healthcare system could never be ramped up to account for every emergency , you would call it too expensive."

Pointing out the ineptitude of central planning is not a conspiracy theory. It's a well documented historical fact. It explains why the West shipped grain to the Soviet Union instead of the other way around.

"What we do need is a better response to detect and contain viral outbreaks. I blame the WHO and the world community that runs it." Don't you think the authorities have already thought of this? Why were they not able to achieve it? WHO? That's a central planning agency if there ever was one.

Because central planning as such refuses to use price signals, there is literally no sensible way left to balance supply and demand for medical care. Socialized medicine is headed for total collapse and no lockdown can prevent it.
