The thing that you're ignoring even though several people posted it already is that you can become a carrier and spread it to dozens of people before it even starts to make you feel sick. It is an incredibly selfish thing to do to ignore that probability (NOT possibility, it is probably, as in likely that you will do this and not even know until it's too late).

Look you wet blanket, the only life worth living is one where I put many other people at risk of painful death or disability without their consent. I simply cannot tolerate the possibility of having to chill at home and avoid consuming for 30-90 days once in my life and I’m sure you’ll understand if I compare the mental health risks inherent in this horrible sacrifice (no dining in a restaurant! For weeks!) to potential physical health risks. I might get sad! I may have to reflect on things! I can’t stand it!

COVID is so insanely infectious and deadly that nobody in Colorado has died of it in over a week. I literally don't give a gently caress anymore, I want to go to a bar and drink away my sorrows from being unemployed due to this dumb loving lockdown.

Around 40 people died of covid in Colorado this week. Over 400 new cases reported just today. Y'know why news reports are saying nobody died of covid today? Those people died from complications caused by covid. It's lawyer speak.

Alex Jones got 99.9% of things wrong, but holy gently caress did he end up being right about their being a hollywood and high level politics pedophile cabal.

I've seen it better explained as: pedophilia is a plague that is present in society at all income levels and regions. Being rich or powerful doesn't make you a pedophile, but it's a lot easier to be a pedophile - or any kind of criminal, for that matter - if you are.

He also didn’t say anything that wasn’t widely talked about in circles before. People just don’t like hearing bad poo poo like that.

sucks to be right
England is going to attempt to roll out a contact tracing regime sometime over the next month. They were well aware that it was needed way back in early February (weeks before they even had any deaths) but papers were just released that reveal that Public Health England advised they were only capable of performing 5 contact traces per day and at best might be able to increase that to perhaps 50 a day so they advised that it would be "sensible" to just not do it.
https://www.theage.com.au/world/europe/britain-could-only-cope-with-five-cases-a-week-papers-reveal-20200531-p54y5f.html

Of course they've since had the most coronavirus deaths out any country (except USA)

.2 IFR overall. With certain preexisting conditions it rises enormously, and virtually all of the conditions affecting it are much more common in the black population.

Here we are having an ongoing dengue outbreak. Weeks ago the local government stopped all work to contain dengue and diverted the personal and money to fight covid-19...which is currently going rampant.

A couple of days ago it started to rain heavily and it's gonna keep going for another three or so days, that means more mosquitos and more danger of dengue. poo poo's gonna be terrible everywhere once the sick of both illness start accumulating.

One advantage is that the protestors and those who support in person are generally younger so an initial spike will hopefully not have as many hospitalizations and deaths but there is the spread to their more at risk families and associates if they are living with or associating with them.

This is absolutely what I'm worrying about. Public attention will have moved on by that point so unless people start working on the problem now, it's going to be devastating for these communities.

Without contact tracing, opening up is just a crapshoot. And I don't think a single state is in a position to implement widespread contact tracing.
