Telling people that they can't participate in basic social life is cruel and insane, how do you not understand this?

is that more cruel and insane than participating in basic social life if you know it will kill a bunch of nice old grandmas

I'll ask again because nobody ITT seems to have a real answer (other than "indefinitely" with Sheng claims nobody is saying). When, in terms of virus spread or an actual date estimate, do you think it will be OK for people to:

- Buy "non-essential" items at stores? This includes items like paint, seeds, furniture, etc. that the dumb CHUDs protested about

- Visit friends who aren't in their ~household~? In groups of 5? 10? 15?

- Do any sort of "normal" activity with precautions like masks and 6-ft distancing?

This is all I have ever argued about and asked about ITT.

1. they already can

2. they already can

3. they already can

this is the problem

I'm giving you explicit permission to go hang out at your friend's house. Go ahead.

Strangely, I don't think you have friends that want to see you or hear from you so you're raging at strangers on the internet because that's the only social interaction you have.

Go on. Get out there. Stop being such a whiny baby that since stranger might disapprove of your actions, unless strangers are the only people you interact with.

That is all I've ever been mad about. If you're seriously saying that it's OK, then I have no argument with you and I agree that we should continue social distancing.

The whole reason that I'm ~mad online~ is that a lot of people do NOT think it's acceptable to visit friends or buy seeds.

You can, many stores have pickup at curb options or allow social distancing in stores.

- Visit friends who aren't in their ~household~? In groups of 5? 10? 15?
You still can but its a jerk thing to do, might kill your friends parents/grandparents. But whatevs get your drink done.

- Do any sort of "normal" activity with precautions like masks and 6-ft distancing?

Yes, they are. How many of you ITT have visited anyone outside of your household in the past month? How long are you prepared to have zero in-person social interaction with anyone you don't currently live with? 1 year? 2 years? 5 years?

People are flipping out about people going to the loving park or visiting friends 1-on-1. How long is it going to be wrongthink to do that?

look, just because they open things back up doesn't mean that you won't be putting your friends' lives at risk by meeting with them

and if they're smarter than you, it DEFINITELY won't mean that they'll want to meet up with you (especially you) anytime soon

You need like 70% of the population to have immunity to get herd immunity. If people's immunity doesn't last until that point it might never end until we get a vaccine.

not exactly. the necessary herd immunity threshold to act as a firewall correlates directly with the R0. when roni runs wild, the R0 is high enough that anything south of 80% immunity will let it continue to propagate

1: You can already do this. They're protesting about this made-up bullshit because they read it on the internet and decided to get mad about it, the same reason they're all loving saying Bill Gates is trying to cut their dick off or whatever other loving dumb poo poo they have signs and complaints for at the protests.

2: You can already do this. I hung out with a group of friends the other day. Guess what, we've all been in quarantine with no outside contact so it's 100% safe to do so!

3: You can already do this. Also, "precautions like masks and 6-ft distancing" are an unreasonable expectation in many situations, which is why the restrictions exist in the first place.

nobody cares if you do curbside pickup for a bag of seeds lmfao

go visit your friends if you don't care about the risk or think it's acceptable.

We do know that being a hermit indefinitely is very, very bad for your health in a lot of ways. Dooming a large % of 300 million to chronic health issues is definitely more humane than a couple thousand potentially dieing, yes, I agree :v:

It is not acceptable to visit friends home. If your friends get it from you and they also make the decision to visit people oh look you've now infected a household you didn't even visit.

You can still buy seeds even in a state that's locked down. Even in those very states that are protesting!

How many dead people is okay if it means you get to visit your friends house?

I recommended a mask seller upthread and I decided to test it out and cut it up to actually see if its legit. So it passed the lil test everybody says but they actually lied about being 5 ply kn95 lol. It's a 4 ply. See now the thing is 4ply was the number i saw when buying from chinese sellers so they upsold it for the american branded one for no reason and made people more paranoid in the process despite it being legit lmfao.
