Which TV host was it that got pimp slapped by Lawler on national TV? Lmao....I was a toddler or maybe not alive yet when that happened, but have seen the tape and laughed my butt off. IIRC ...much like Jim Rome...the guy was warned to quit running his mouth before he was smacked up.

* also JG wreaks havoc on the Vols hopes, and nobody else.
LG reeks of alligator poop when he chases ambulances in florida..
Go Vols. Beat that bye week!

That Chris Everett scene was about the best thing I ever watched on TV. I remember that puss Rome calling Manning "Pussargent" pn his radio program in that era and always riled me.

Unlike yourself ..... many on here realize the average age of death is 80.... with additional comorbidities. If you fall into this category .... stay at home and isolate yourself. The rest of the world needs to get on with life.

I’m not sure why it’s so difficult to understand how a virus makes our lives interconnected. What would be your plan to protect everyone, keeping in mind that almost half of Americans have chronic conditions, many of which make them vulnerable to severe complications from Covid? If you’re “protecting” the vulnerable then why all the fuss about wearing masks? What’s the big deal? I wear one nearly every day for work, I’m not “oppressed”, I’m protecting my patients from whatever I might be carrying. The problem is we can’t trust any of you to do the simple things to “protect” anyone.

Then there is the practicality. If someone is 82, lives at home alone, can’t drive, and has family checking on them/helping them, how do you protect them? The family that helps them has to go into public to get groceries where all of the “oppressed” citizens refuse to wear masks or distance, directly affecting the 82 yo in turn. People who study viruses for a living have made these facts so simple with easy instructions but too many idiots are too self-important to care.

I don’t know how to explain to another person that you should care for others.

My father is 88 and mom is 81. I know and they know they’re very fortunate to have had such a long life. They have been very compliant with the recommendations here in NY.

They now have decided they’d rather see their children and grandchildren than continue to live their remaining days/months/years without what means most to them.

I don’t know how to explain to others that people in their 80’s can make their own decisions.

IDK or care if the dollars or numbers are inflated or not. I personally know 21 people who have covid or had it including wife's dad and a nephew, niece and great nephew. Three have died including one classmate. In 71 years I never personally knew anyone to die of flu or its complications.

Sorry for your losses. Very sad. With that said I have had over 40 confirmed cases for employees of mine. Zero hospitalizations. We can play personal story game all day. CDC says even for people over 70 there is a 95% survival rate. It increases to around 99% younger then that. Think about that when considering what decisions we should make.

Of course they can. People of any age can. My mom is 63 and has a severe chronic lung condition. She prefers to live as many years as possible to watch her grandchildren grow up rather than dying of covid, but everyone in her community who doesn’t take any sort of precaution because it’s apparently an inconvenience is making those decisions for her.

Hyperbole.
She still has power of self determination. Authority over herself. She's capable of taking precaution.

She should stay home. Have you or other family deliver necessities. You can talk to her with the door open standing several feet away. Joe X shouldn’t lose his house because you want your mom to be able to see her grand babies for as long as she likes. Joe X probably would like to keep his house, feed his family, earn a living, so he can see his kids grow to be successful.

She’s a teacher, she can’t affect what the parents of her kids do. Not hyperbole. Not even an exaggeration. Just facts.

She’s a teacher and has to work for a living. In this wonderful country of ours that keeps moving retirement age up she can’t retire yet and is reliant on the parents and family of kids to be responsible enough not to expose her. We live in the real world, not some mythical world where people don’t affect other people.

Great. So the people whose occupations you want to shut down have lives too. Why should they be forced to suffer bc of your moms issues? I am not digging at your mom. But what I see people asking for is cripple others to help them. Not inconvenience others. A mask is what it is. We are talking government mandated shutdowns of business. Your moms life, retirement, financial situation, is no more important then anyone else’s.

She can mask, and glove, and distance, and wash hands, and ask her class do to same.
Her health and safety is in her hands. Not mine.

I’m not talking about shutdowns at all, if I have anywhere please feel free to correct me. What I have been talking about is the simple things that we know can matter that have been politicized. It has become a signal to everyone about your political beliefs to follow or not follow mask rules, distancing recommendations, or gathering size guidelines. What a ridiculously dumb thing to have to deal with, and it starts with the president.

It only works if most everybody is doing it. Maybe we need an infectious disease 101 lesson in here.

Gathering size requirements impacts numerous businesses. Rely on you and your family to take care of you and your family. It’s not anyone’s else job. And lastly can we look at CDC mortality rates for this thing. I mean we are acting stupid. Under 70 less then a 2% chance of death. Over less then 5%. Calm down.

You already told on yourself. She’s working to keep her retirement. And you agree with it. Her financial future is more important then others in your mind. I get it. It’s your mom. But it’s hypocrisy.

Being tone deaf about what this virus means for seniors and at-risk people is going to cost your party.

Lol my party? Nice assumption. Not understanding math is what’s going to cost us reasonable approaches to handling this. You are stuck in “my mom” emotional wold. While justifying her still teaching bc of her retirement while pissing on others. Yes those size requirements matter. And just for fun “that’s what she said.”

Oh and party of science my ass.
