Oso planning to go pro
Because it’s a mid sized apartment community and everyone talks. The point was that she wasn’t a random stranger. My wife was talking to another of the group she spoke to on the way out. She’s just simply freaked out about getting Delta COVID. And she’s not alone.
And you are saying an over abundance of caution is as bad as being anti-vax. To which i say horse feathers. (Or paste) One is annoying. One has far more dire consequences.
Things we know slow the spread of COVID. Vaccines, masks, social distancing. I am sorry you are weary of it all. News flash, everybody is tired after the last 18 months. But the virus isn't tired. It has shown itself to be more determined and resilient than society.
Illogical happens everyday. Remember when we used to judge crazy on whether or not it caused harm? Wake me up when the masked swimmer is the one preventing the pandemic from ending.
Which exaggeration, pray tell? That everyone is tired of it? That the virus doesn't care? That vaccines, masks, and social distancing are the best mitigation strategies?The woman by the pool harmed no one. She chose her level of comfort.
She’s being illogical. Your second paragraph is just goalpost shifting.
Since I didn’t establish the goal posts I guess shifting them are an accomplishment. I said she was harmless crazy in my only other post on the topic.
“ But the virus isn't tired. It has shown itself to be more determined and resilient than society.” That’s eye rolling stuff right there. And again, I never said she was harming anyone. She’s being illogical.
And again, I never said she was harming anyone. She’s being illogical.
People like to blame 'the media' for everything. The reality is that a not insignificant group of people are going to be scared until wacky stuff stops happening. Two major cities in FL asked people to conserve water so that more Oxygen was available for hospitals, Rural areas hospitals are being over-run to the point health care workers (Louisiana) and Governors (AL, ID as examples) are begging people to take public health precautions, Sen Bill Frist wrote a breathless tweet chain to implore TN government to take this seriously and put in public health measures, Everyone probably knows someone with a breakthrough by now. The silver lining is that vaccines are holding up incredibly well and remain the best measure we can all take to end this (in addition to a few others when spread is high).We all want this to be over but its not....until that time I will take crazy swimmer every day of the week over the people harassing health care workers and MANDATING against public health measures. At least she is the kind of crazy that isnt going to harm me.
In many Asian countries they wear masks to avoid getting colds/flus, and sometimes just because of air quality. They view the fact that we do not wear masks more regularly as...illogical.
How do you deem it illogical. Maybe she simply doesn't want to risk getting sick at all, and possibly missing work, getting others sick etc. In many Asian countries they wear masks to avoid getting colds/flus, and sometimes just because of air quality. They view the fact that we do not wear masks more regularly as...illogical.You are forcing you views of things on others. If her goal is simply not to risk getting sick at all, and the mask doesn't bother her...she is being the most logical. Benefit outweighs cost to her.
This isn’t an attack, cause I always respect your perspective and opinion on this topic, agree or not, but I keep seeing this pop up when people talk masks. I’ve been fortunate to travel a bunch in Asia for work. HK, multiple parts of China, Thailand, Japan, Singapore, Indonesia, etc… and I’ve never seen this to be the case. Do you see it more than in the US during non-COVID times? Of course. But in all my travels, it’s still infrequent enough that you do a double take. One of my trade shows is in HK in the heart of flu/cold season, people traveling from all over Asia to visit, and you won’t see more than handful over the tens of thousands of people in and around the show. It just feels like people use evidence from the SARS epidemic and the masks surrounding that and the years after to make it seem like masks are widespread. (Granted this isn’t talking somewhere like Beijing where smog is literally hazardous to health)
I think the whole argument here is cuz Fluff is trying to do to Tower what chicos does to everyone. He was/is looking for an argument using any flimsy excuse to attack.It's not like the rest of us don't see it.
And you call me preachy. Logic and evidence say this is nowhere near over.
Well, it's over for me since I am vaccinated as is everyone in my household. I mask where it is required, but otherwise am pretty much doing what was doing beforehand. I mean, that was the whole point of being vaccinated right?But my risk tolerance seems higher than many here who are like the lady at the pool. Oh well...
