The real reason why Patrick Chung opted out

[DonEagleston]

Willie, there is also something called the "greater good" If your boy Trump has simply shut the country down for a couple months and then reopened, the virus would have mostly gone away as has occurred in other countries. He failed to believe science and didn't act accordingly. I always knew that the red/blue divide would destroy the country; didn't think a virus would be the cause.

You emphasize personal freedoms. Don't forget that women should have the right to abortions if they so chose. I'm sure you don't believe this. This stuff works both ways.

BTW, the Pats won't miss Chung. He can't play.

 

[TomGshotput]

And you have the freedom to make those choices, nobody denies you those freedoms

Willie make a great point. Patrick Chung and other athletes and other members of the workforce are opting out of their jobs and working less for no reason other than they have the freedom to do so. These freedoms are what makes our country Great Again. Anyone talking there will be any Doom and Gloom coming from this virus are stupid and only think that because they believe what the liars in the media are telling them.

Lol. The idea the virus wouldn’t be here under a full scale national lockdown is preposterous. Let me tell you why.

Central and South America has been hit hard by this virus and the Democrats have insisted we have zero border security on the southern border for decades.

So how exactly would locking everything down stopped people who were infected from waltzing into California and Texas like they always have and always will as long as the Democrats have their way.

Please point to tiny countries like New Zealand as proof a lockdown can keep the virus contained. Totally would work in a country like USA that is thousands of times bigger!

Aside from welding people in their houses like in wuhan, this virus was going to run it’s course through the population. Anyone who denies that is a true moron.

It's always funny to me when Democrats blame Trump and Republicans for this virus spreading.

I live in one of the most liberal cities in America, and I went to the park yesterday and there were 35 people or more huddled around a basketball court, none wearing masks, none socially distanced. Glance over to the left and people are huddled near a tennis court, no masks, no social distancing. Glance over more and there's softball games going on, people are next to each other on the sidelines, no masks, no social distancing. Volleyball, same thing. One team won and then they shook hands and shook the other team's hands. No masks, no social distancing.

And probably the dumbest thing of all, a group of around 15 long distance runners ran by, they were in a pack, breathing all over each other in the easiest activity to do in solitude, running. No masks.

90% of these people are leftists, and yet, they don't give a shit about this virus when it comes to THEM having to change their behavior.

The idea that any politician on God's green earth could make America care about this enough to alter behavior they've led their whole lives is nonsensical.

Wrong. If you're in a high risk demographic, you can make your own choices. I even support employers not being able to fire high risk people if they say they can't come into work. Almost everyone supports that.

But why should healthy 25 year olds, who have a 1 in 100,000 chance from dying from this, more of a chance they die in the car on the way to work, literally, why the fuck should they be mandated to do anything?

You seem like the type of person who if by the chance they caught COVID, they would still not give a f*ck, pass it on to people, have someone pass away from it, and then make a comment like "people die from driving in their car. Should i stop driving then?"

I guess you do plenty of social distancing regardless b/c you dont seem like a likeable person who people want to hang around anyways

Actually, I've always been a germaphobe. I don't like other people giving me their germs and I treat people as I like to be treated. And unlike most of the idiots in this country, I haven't visited with my parents or grandparents since March, solely to make sure I don't give them the virus, because I have been living my life and going to bars and beaches and playing recreational sports.

Hope that post helped get most of the sand out of your pussy though.

 

[JavyBaez9]

This is a common tactic by dimwitted leftists though, so it's a great example. How dare you point out that young healthy people are not at legitimate risk of dying from this. You must go around licking old people!

 

[Knightrofins]

Per your post in post #20

1 in 100,000 people

If you are going to talk out of both sides of your ass as you usually do in this forum, you may want to mix it up in different threads!!

In order to protect the unhealthy from being infected by the healthy & hospitals from being overwhelmed.

hospitals have never been overwhelmed and the vulnerable should be self isolating.

if I go to a beach, and then a 75 year old fat fuck comes to the beach, your solution to that problem is to close the beach?

thats because you’re dim witted.

In any event, the UN suggested hundreds of millions of people globally will be on the brink of starvation if the global economy stays shuttered like this, so you must want those people to starve to death when you advocate for these lockdowns.

same exact logic as you use

"Small clusters of flu or other ailments may be poppin up for the same reason COVID-19 is spreading: ‘Strict social distancing isn’t in place’

And it never will be. Don't you understand that? If the most liberal city in America, who spends 8 hours a day whining on social media about how Trump isn't taking the virus seriously, if those people can't be bothered to give a fuck in how they lead their lives, it's not happening.

See, that's the problem with people like you and other leftists. You live in a pretend fantasy land where you can just send the cops away and violent crime won't sky rocket. You live in a pretend fantasy land where everyone can stay in their homes and not see friends and family for 2 months. You live in a PRETEND fantasy land that is never happening. And then you advocate for policies that assume that pretend fantasy land can happen.

Conservatives, in general, live in reality. They know strict social distancing is NEVER happening in America and they advocate for policies that understand that reality.

I posted a report the other day of choices being made between who lives or dies for that very reason.

Secondly, the extreme ways of safety implemented have prevented many hospitals from being overwhelmed leading to much more of the aforementioned above.

Nah. Hospitals have not been overwhelmed. Not even New York had to turn away a single patient.

Hundreds of millions, this says, were - already - suffering hunger even before C-19 was ever heard of:

"Famine in as many as three dozen countries is "a very real and dangerous possibility" due to ongoing wars and conflicts, economic crises and natural disasters, World Food Program Executive Director David Beasley told the U.N. Security Council during a virtual briefing."

"Before the onset of the coronavirus pandemic, 821 million people experience chronic hunger while another 135 million people face "crisis levels of hunger or worse," Beasley said while quoting findings from the agency's new report on global food crises."

"Beasley pointed to the economic crisis in Lebanon, wars in Syria and Yemen, and the swarms of desert locusts destroying crops for much of East Africa as pre-existing factors that were already setting 2020 up to be a dangerous year for hunger."

https://www.nbcnews.com/news/world/...hreats-coronavirus-economic-downturn-n1189326

Why didn't the world do something about this tragedy before C-19 existed? Epic fail.

Why can't & shouldn't the world do something about it now while at the same time practicing safe C-19 measures. Duh. Problem solved.

Children are particularly at risk as lockdowns in response to the coronavirus are keeping them out of school where they typically could receive subsidized meals.

Then send the kids back to school. Problem solved.

"I must warn you that if we don't prepare and act now — to secure access, avoid funding shortfalls and disruptions to trade — we could be facing multiple famines of biblical proportions within a short few months," Beasley said.

Do that, then. Problem solved.

The World Food Program is in need of an additional $1.9 billion in donations to stockpile food for countries at risk plus another $350 million to support the distribution of humanitarian aid, Beasley told the Security Council, the U.N.'s most powerful body.
While there are no famines yet, "we do not have time on our side," Beasley said, urging world leaders to act quickly in providing aid.

Ditto. See above.

These are great points. No one should blame Trump or any Republican for anything related to this virus. Anyone who does blame them is a liar and a retard. If anyone is impacted in anyway by this virus, they only have themselves to blame because of behaviors like this.

 

[X-Files]

And it never will be. Don't you understand that? If the most liberal city in America,

Maybe not in stupid America, which may end up being more like a Sweden than a Canada. But in much of the rest of the world they are already with the program.

As it is said, Rome fell from within.
