what i find also very interesting is that a country that had no lockdowns whatsoever (Sweden) compared to france and spain which had intense ones early on, have similar death rates. so it doesnt seem to do much (far right figure per 100k)

If we die we die...
Actually, there's no "if" about it... when we die we die.... we die when we die.
None of us are getting out of here alive. With or without CoVid.
I'm more than ready for everything to open up.

Well, to play devil’s advocate, if you’re a Jehovah’s Witness, you believe you’re going to live FOREVER! 🤣
LOL! Well, I guess they won't complain one way or the other eh? They don't have to worry about CoVid at all!

Sure am happy you're not making the decisions for me or my loved ones. You can die though.

Absolutely. This is how you strengthen humanity against it. Let it kill the tiny percent of the population who would normally die from the flu anyway, and let the rest develop a natural immunity.

I would even be willing to wear a mask indoors for whatever venue I am at, as long as that meant it would open up normally.
Just don;t try to make me wear one outside, if its not crowded...

i say: you have been brainwashed. your opinion about the virus would disappear in seconds in a conversation with a real virologist. it's not about masks or whether corona is really dangerous. it's about an inner rage against everything and everyone. it's all about fear and anger. against every change.
i wear a mask when i go shopping. out of solidarity. it sucks, sure. sometimes i forget my mask at home. that's the way it is. nobody's perfect.
i went camping last week. i drink my beer in the sun, the beer gardens are open. in august i'm on holiday in france.
