"They" tell us there is no effective vaccine or even a drug to treat this virus. Therefore the ONLY effective plan in place today is herd immunity. I don't oppose people taking measures to slow getting the disease and spreading infection rates out to align with facilities and personnel better. I'm pushing 70. Somehow this nation walked through the scourges of smallpox and polio without cures for many many years that were much deadlier than this thing without shutting anything down. I'm not going to dip myself in a pool of contagion but by the same token if I get it I get it i'm not worried in the slightest about it. I'd quarantine and make sure I was not contagious infecting others for the required clearance times. IMO this is all snowflake knee clacking I made it through smallpox and polio, I'm rather certain I'll make it through this. I'd attend a game at Neyland tomorrow if they had one. I refuse to live my life as an American on my knees in fear of any %$#@ing thing. Get a grip people.

Attend? YOU BET! I refuse to bow to fear mongering for the equivalent of a normal ailment. Remy hits it on the head!

...with no regard for the worldwide depression that would result from a prolonged shutdown.

There are common sense ways to keep businesses open and still minimize the spread of the virus.

I can agree with all of that. That wasn’t the original premise of the thread

What part of 10,000's of people dying every month don't you understand?? No true cure yet, and some getting the virus again after supposedly recovering from it...

I walked by a barred off compound where they are treating and keeping the homeless AND using it as sort of annex for city morgues...
I can only imagine what's going in New York or what went down in Wuhan China.

Media ain't got a damn thing to do with it! Wake up!!

Just a couple of stats to ponder. About 7,500 people die per day in the US. Around 60,000 per year due to alcohol abuse. Why do they continue to sell alcohol?

Can you get infected with alcohol by being too close to someone drinking it? Can you cause your elderly or immonu-compromised neighbors to become infected with alcohol by being around someone drinking?

You made it through smallpox? Damn you're old, I thought they had a vaccine for that over 100 years ago. And I remember everyone getting the first round of polio vaccine when I was 9-10 years old. It was given orally and they put it on a sugar cube that you ate in front of the nurses. I grew up in a small town and they did the whole town in one Sunday afternoon at the high school gym. Pretty much wiped the disease out in the US in a couple of years, a true miracle drug.

Well, actually, the overreaching government is stopping a lot of things....

You hit at it...personal choice...which is what this country was founded on.

If you want to work, you should be allowed to work.

If you want to quit and stay at home, then quit and stay at home. But you shouldn’t receive the same compensation as the person taking the risk. Unless you feel the Bern.

Government in the USA can suggest...but it never should be allowed to dictate individual rights and liberties IMO.

I think you need to research what they used to do with tuberculosis. Not only could they tell you to stay home, if you refused they put you in sanitariums. So yes the government can dictate for the national good. Not saying that's what they should do but don't say they can't.

You misunderstand my point. My point is directed at blanket government orders at the population at large.

Actually being close to someone abusing alcohol can kill you. Drunk drivers, domestic assault, child abuse. I stated 60,000 a year die from the abuse. Why doesn’t the gov’t stop alcohol sales if it is so dangerous? My other stat says over 2,700,000 people die annually in the US. Look at the CDC statistics and explain why the death rates for flu and lower resporatory deaths are down. I see you don’t agree but the data doesn’t add up for me.

Right, cause getting hit by a drunk driver is tantamount to an infected covid19 patient coughing on you at a TJ Max and you taking it home and infecting your wife and kids without even knowing it.

Definitely the same

Keep trotting out straw man arguments. It's not just deaths, it's continued transmission, and the impact on the healthcare system, and the doubling effect we saw prior to the implementation of social distancing.

The very thing you are protesting is what's slowing it down.

Honest question. I’ve seen the term straw man argument on here before. What does it mean? I want to see how my statement is related to the term. Just to clarify. I believe Covid 19 is real, just wondering why some deaths are so much more inexcusable than others.

Can a drunk driver crash head on into your car killing you instantly? Also can kill your entire family. Life isn’t risk free. You have the freedom of choice. You never have to leave your house again. Stay inside forever.

Your bad for being at TJ Maxx, or anywhere in public for that matter, if you’re afraid of coming in contact with the common cold or any other pedestrian virus.

It’s time for everyone to start recognizing that the only accomplishment of this ridiculous lockdown has been an ever-so-slightly eased burden on healthcare professionals in major metropolitan areas that really helped bolster their TikTok clout.

Guess what you can be arrested for? Drunk driving. Why? Because it puts people besides yourself in danger.

I have not spent my entire life inside the United States. Perhaps a collegiate class in Logic 101 would suit you better than me explaining it to you.

Better get your facts straight if you are going to encourage people to risk their lives by gathering in large crowds. Smallpox killed millions of people before a vaccine to prevent it was developed. That vaccine was available before I entered grammars school in the Fall of 1942. Polio was very infectious with millions of cases each year until the vaccines were developed. Fortunately only about 10 percent of polio cases are paralytic and must cases were sub-clinical, or were so mild that the cases were not known. This occurred because most cases were in infants and children under the age of 5-6 and were partially protected by maternal antibodies received from their mothers and had not disappeared in their blood. If you care so little about your life, then go right ahead at foolishly. You may not be infected by COVID-19, but if you are exposed , you most likely become infected because it is very infectious and you have no antibodies nor is there any vaccine to protect you. Good luck.

I would love nothing more than to be in Neyland Stadium as soon as possible but I don’t think it’s a great idea. It would literally take one infected person shedding the virus to sneeze, cough, or scream (likely expelling viral aerosols forward) without masking to expose everyone in their direct vicinity to this highly contagious virus. Those people then go home to their families and potentially expose them and a chain outbreak ensues. Given so many people refuse to wear a mask I don’t see how we could even possibly sit 102k deep without immense public health risk at this point. I have seen several people on here say they are willing to take that risk but my guess is that not everyone you interact with in a regular basis feels the same way and your actions may put those individuals at risk. This is awful and it makes me sick to think of not being in the stands this fall but at this point I don’t see how it would be feasible.
