At least if I kick the bucket I won’t have to read posts like this anymore. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe me, where you’re going it’s nothing but dark and evil posts. NEBrigand is just Gods way of reminding you what you’re in for if you wander out of sardonic humor. Ha! I kill me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deaths are going to happen because of this virus. The more we learn the better everyone is at counteracting the disease. Just like the flu. Do I believe the amount of deaths each year from the flu is acceptable? I wish no one had to die from the flu but it still happens. I accept that it still happens. I feel exactly the same way about covid-19. How do you you feel about the deaths from the flu? How do you feel about the covid-19 deaths? Yes any large crowd events should be discouraged. Rally's - Protest - Riots - Parades - etc. Its a mistake to do them. Can you agree to all of those events? Officials from "both sides" encouraged these types of events.

If there are folks here who really feel that 175,000 deaths is acceptable, I legitimately would like to hear from those people and, if possible, better understand what lead them to change their positions from March, when no one would have claimed a number like that was fine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have no idea what position I had back in March that you are referring to did I predict the numbers or something? Go ahead and let me know. I will await your clever pretzel post. I had a step grandfather commit suicide because he was unable to see his grand children back in March. Obviously the grand children not coming over to see him was a good idea. The trouble was his mental condition could not handle it. Is that a covid death? Have you stayed clear of bleach?
