Are you, you know, sure?

When people lose their jobs they die. When GDP goes down, people die. They lose healthcare, they lose housing, etc..

Essentially, right now, the young and poor are being told to sacrifice in order to protect the rich and elderly.

People are often uncomfortable with the fact that we have to make choices about health and money. But the truth is we could save a lot of lives with various policies, and we choose not to implement them. People are uncomfortable, and hate, trolley problems. But we are still running trolleys, we just refuse to acknowledge we are ignoring the trolley problem.

Generally speaking, when we choose not to choose, we choose the poor to suffer.

I'm not advocating that we abandon the model of flattening the curve. What I am advocating for is we attempting some kind of rational analysis, and we actually consider the option of not flattening the curve, and judge the two from a harm reduction standpoint.

Just want to point out that coronavirus patients won't be the only ones who suffer and die if we don't flatten the curve. People are still having accidents and overdosing and getting weird moles, and they won't be able to get the medical treatment they need if the hospitals are slammed with sick people.

This is the case in Washington state. Traffic accidents were way down compared to last year even before the shelter in place order.

quote:

In my studies of John G. Lake this is true. He raised up over 600 churches, 1,000 ministers and over 1 million came to Christ during his 5 years in Africa!!

John G. Lake was a missionary to South Africa from 1908 to 1913. While there, a horrific bubonic plague broke out. John Lake was caring for the sick and burying the dead. Britain sent a ship of medical supplies and a corps of doctors to him. The doctors asked Lake how he had protected himself from the deadly plague. His answer was, “I believe ‘the law of the Spirit of life has set me free from the law of sin and death (Rom.8:2).’ As long as I walk in the light of that law [of the Spirit of life], no germ will attach itself to me.” In scriptural context, this verse speaks of Jesus’ work of salvation bringing the life of the Spirit of God to us and freeing us from “the law of sin” or, in other words, from everything evil that came into the world through sin, such as disease, poverty, addictions, spiritual death, and early physical death. The doctors were unconvinced, so Lake insisted they do a microscopic experiment on him. Lake showed them that if one of them took bubonic plague foam from the lungs of a dead person and put it under a microscope, the disease cells would still live. If they put the foam in Lake’s hand, and then looked at it under the microscope, they saw that all of the disease cell’s instantly died, proving what Lake said to be true.

Don't you tell me my business again.

Yeah, I'm not normally like this but it's increasingly hard to feel sympathy for almost all of these people.

It's past the point of just ignorance, which is forgivable and often understandable, but more and more a lot of these people are just loving MEAN, SPITEFUL and willfully ignorant. I try really hard not to wish ill will on anyone but I don't like mean, nasty aggressive people that actively seek me harm. Even more so when they come at me with that smug, self righteous religious bullshit that threatens punishment for me and many of my friends.

My ability to be the bigger person and constantly turn the other cheek is just about tapped out and exhausted, made more so because these are the motherfuckers waving that book in my face that's supposed to teach them exactly these qualities but instead preaches from the pulpit to vote for assholes like Donald Trump. And instead of learning anything from this, his followers are going to rationalize it as part of god's plan or, worse, invent some stupid conspiracy theory about why the virus singled him out and Soros is behind it somehow.

The world will be a better place if he takes out the worst among his congregation with him. I take no JOY in feeling this way, mind you, but I'm worn out being surrounded by mean spirited people who tell me I'm going to hell for being bisexual and that my son's mother will too for having an abortion once, pass laws surrounding it and openly put on harm's way many of the people I vote for in elections.

"Thoughts and prayers" I guess is what I'm trying to say.

This is true, but as dangerous as American roads are, they only killed 36,560 people in 2018.

Comparing that to CoVID is left as an exercise for the reader.
