    The biggest concern is that they want to do this is by never-ending protocol of vaccinations and blank check of administrative measures. It is time to realize that there may never be a defined end of it. Just like there will never be the end of cancer, murder and rape. We have had to live with such and other pathologies fully aware of dangers and no existing cures.
    I wonder, how worse off we would all be at this time, if nothing was done of whatever so far has been done in fight with Covid.

    The reason widespread trucker strikes never work is: the people harmed are the very same people you think you're helping.

    Thinking you're hurting or proving anything to the government is absurd.

    That’s what the last President originally wanted to do before being forced to change course or 100% lose the presidency. Little did he know it was rigged anyway so lose/lose.

    I would almost guarantee covid would be over with. Look at was it SARS? During Obama? They didn’t do a darn thing and now it’s never heard of or talked about.

    That’s what makes all of this stuff political because it was politicized beyond anything anyone in history has ever seen.

    You’re not answering my question. Whether we “slow” the spread or just let it run its course it’s going to have the same outcome. The only thing that changes is the timeline.

    I hope nobody tries to deny that. It's LITERALLY what "15 days to flatten the curve" was all about. They knew everyone who will ever get it, will get it eventually. The 15 days were just to keep from overwhelming the hospitals.

    Man....y'all are something else.....you would rather let it run rampant than slow it. That makes no sense. That's also my cue to bow out of this thread. Yall be safe on the road.

    I think what people are saying is face it head on and it be really bad, but after that peak things get way better and eventually it’s a non issue moving forward. Sort of like just ripping a band aid off.

    Now, with these vaccines all it’s doing is making many more variants and each variant easier to transmit and more aggressive in making you sick. Vaccinated people cause this, not unvaccinated.

    Now, this thing will be around forever and in the end, maybe even a couple years, will end up killing many more then just ripping the band aid off. With many many years multiples of people more will die.

    Edit; And not even to mention we have NO idea the long term ramifications to ones health by taking these vaccines and GOD knows how many boosters for the rest of time.

    People who live in fear are not living. They're already dead...they just don't know it yet.
