145 People test positive at COSTCO in WA

[Thulian]

Yet OUTDOOR Dining remains banned everywhere

Are people dumb? If you ban resturants all people do is go to the food store and superspread covid. Its like no one is smart enough to realize its being spread at the food stores, when this started 25 people tested positive at the publix near me and they were night stock people filling the shelves, then people go in at 7 am thinking they are safe and bring the covid home

What do you guys think?

Logic and sense are increasingly rare while spin and ignorance are on the rise.

One of the few times I'm actually glad to be living in FL right now.

I'd have already moved if I were in a liberal shithole lockdown state.

[Bearsnowls]

I think that Costco is considered a grocery store, it has to stay open I think. I dunno. You take a risk when you go to the grocery store : /

[imperiouskitten]

should have regulated how grocery stores operate

[charmcitysking]

welcome to Costco, I love you

[Jibartik]

In a world where the argument is, is it a conspiracy to destroy our entire way of life, or we should do something to stop the spread of an influenza virus... then you get the situation we're in where none of the laws make sense.

[Thulian]

no one is trying to destroy anyones way of life, people just think if you do this or that you can help stop the spread

people just dont get it

you cant stop it because our population is too high

explain china, japan, goryeo then. with something other than a defeatist disinfo lie.

why can't we do things as well as changs? is it because you are spineless and submissive in the face of this disaster?

[Thulian]

in china they had a real lockdown, if you went outside you got arrested, here people just keep going to the store spreading it

We cant because americans have been told from birth that they are special and they are exceptional. They dont have to follow rules. They can be an individual, even if it costs the life of a loved one. They are trained to believe that critical thinking is useless and "god did it" is good enough to explain most things.

We have a divide and on one side, they literally think that science is fake, its all just fat cats getting rich. Experts are not to be trusted, unless they agree with you. Its a now a political statement to say "I agree with the experts in this field who used scientific method to come up with this conclusion.". How can reading a thermometer every year and saying "its getting hotter, every single year..." be such an unbelievable thing? In america, it is.

You cant be a republican or a christian if you believe that science is the best way to come up with an explanation, according to all our knowledge and until something that explains it better is found. They will abuse science for their own gain/survival but when it comes to actually listening to someone they dont agree with or dont have skin in the game, they just stop thinking.

I heard a phrase today and it said more people will needlessly die because of "toxic individualism". These pussies who just cant listen and give a fuck. Its the same asshole that runs red lights 4 seconds after it changed because they are special. Same guy that flicks you off when they sit at a light for half the green on their phone, then you honk at them. As far as they are concerned, they have the right to impede you and your life with their decisions.

Another good example, the clean air act. They remove the cats from their exhaust, run it straight out of the hood. It pollutes 30x more than a normal truck, now. When asked "Why do you think you can pollute 30x more than everyone else and never be questioned or face consequences?" and it usually ends in "fucking hippie libtard" its only a 10k fine, no biggie right? Literally toxic, thinks they are special and its ok because of who they are.

Now lets see the quote mines totally miss the entire point.

They wonder why they cant rise above the first level of management. They wonder why they are not trusted with more responsibility. They wonder why they dont get a company car and their rank equivalent in another department did. They wonder why people younger than them telling them what to do, how to do the job, even though they already "know". Ive had to deal with so many of these retards in my personal life.

The people around you KNOW you cant follow directions.
They KNOW you cant be trusted to do the right thing, even when nobody is looking. They KNOW your "muh freedom!!!!" attitude will hurt the company and its assets because of your stupidity.

Everyone knows Jersey is the biggest shithole state. Florida has cool stuff like alligators and miami and hurricanes sometimes (I like storms they are cool). Texas has great food and is simply huge which is pretty alpha. Jersey just smells like garbage.

[dcosper]

I have a philippine wife, when i am over there to see her parents, everyone has masks, they had masks before it all began, they are also forced to wear face shields, and in order to be allowed to go out into public they have to have a negative test and a certificate issued that they must show to leave their home, or enter a highly populated zone, look at the numbers they have infected, compared to our own, and i would think their population is much higher and denser than our own, we have unintelligent leaders, both democrat and republican, they are more worried about fund raising then doing the job they were elected to do, point of fact, the first thing they closed down in California was all the congress/senators offices, because they should not have to worry about being there for the public during a pandemic right ??

one time i rode a bicycle from east coast to west coast and it was literally like watching things improve bit by bit east to west everyday. Every day the ppl were nicer and smarter.

Carolina was where someone legit threw a rock at me but whiffed. Tennessee was where the black guy escorted me thru town in his car cuz he thought I wouldn't survive them streetz. Missouri was where the 80 year old German fundie guy fell in love with me for liking his traditional black bread and had a "no homo" mental breakdown. Kansas was where ppl started being White again. Once I hit the Continental Divide there was a HUGE leap in quality of people and their situations. It was western Colorado where the ppl finally started to have 100iq again.

Yes mein furor.

Btw I don't think anybody seriously thinks it's "fake" or a "hoax". If they do they are obviously retarded. It's just not nearly as dangerous as it's portrayed, and the collateral effects of the more drastic lockdown measures are far more destructive to communities than exposure to the virus itself. Biden totally dodged the question about that at the 3rd debate btw.

nearly 400k dead. Not that deadly.

[douglas1999]

nearly 400k dead. Not that deadly.

400k have not died from covid, 400k have died while having covid.

Yet again, how deadly it might be isn't even the point, are widespread economic lockdowns a sensible reaction to it? There are many perfectly valid arguments that they aren't. Reasonable people are willing to discuss it, rather than covering your ears and going "Can't hear you 400k dead the sky is falling!!".

If people were honest and reasonable about this, there would be two numbers: Number of people who have died *because* of covid, and number of people who have died while simply having it. The 400k figure is used to fear monger and is incredibly boneheadedly simple and almost useless for determining how risky it actually is and whether lockdowns make sense.

Boy you sure are reactionary and politically motivated by this disease, it's just bizarre man. I hope you're okay.

Why is covid different than the flu in terms of how we respond to it as a society? Why don't we wear masks, social distance, and shut down "non-essential" businesses to stop the spread of those diseases? They kill grandma too, and also kill the young *more* often than covid does.

Please re-capitulate it for me here incase I missed the answer at some point in the last several months where we've been kicking this ball back and forth.

Can you admit that perhaps some of the measures taken have been too drastic? Or would you argue that we *should* do these things for a bad influenza season?

are you saying we're hypocrites if we don't treat the flu the same?

No I'm attempting to tease out the justification for treating covid this way but not the flu (read: there isn't one). I am not suggesting it's hypocritical, because I do not think either disease should be treated this way.

If covid had a mortality rate of 5% or even 1% accross all age groups, yes I would agree such measures as have been taken against covid would be justified. I'm simply arguing that many of the strictest lockdown measures are doing more harm than good, and the only counter argument I ever seem to get is "400k (or whatever number) dead!!" full stop. Like, that's it, they never say anything more specific than that. Just... number dead. Do we know they all died because of covid? Well, no. Do you have anything to say about the overwhelmingly high survivial rate? Well no. Do you have anything to say about the huge uptick in collateral impacts, both economic and socio-political, brought about by lockdowns? Well, no. 400k though!

[Ret.SaxonAlex]

my boss flooded my streets to shame me about hurricanes. I thought covid was my boss doing something again, or a fake world doing something again so I didn't care. Still in a fake world, its now about me me me, not "Us us we we and us we us"

oh by the way sense I had to buy supplies during the fake street flooding, I wasted money on soup, and then I thought I got chemical in my microwave, and I probably coincidentally died inside at that point because then I couldn't use my microwave, because I thought the secret society would make me randomly feel high for things. Which lead to me boiling oatmeal every night before work which was a waste of 45 minutes every night before work.

Cigarettes kill 480k people a year in the US. The strictest measures we take against smoking is requiring smokers to go outside, sometimes, in some places. As if that stops people from smoking. As if that stops other people from inhaling second hand smoke. As if that stops parents from smoking in their cars. Where is the draconian governmental overreach to stop these deaths? Is there some kind of relationship between risk and freedom that we enjoy in our society?? Buhwuhhhhhh???

Your argument cannot possibly be "we are trying to save lives" with regard to covid, unless you also advocate for such measures against every other preventable form of death. If you can't concede that, then you don't really care about lives, you care about political purity tests and appearing woke with regard to this relatively unharmful disease.

oh age 4, interesting. I am thinking more like my cohort, 20-40, where it seems to be fairly dangerous no? Even relative to flu.

It’s interesting. All these extreme right people are so concerned about lockdowns and businesses yet they are completely happy to start anti-mask protests where they blockade businesses and force them into shutting down. Interesting approach for people who are apparently just sooooo concerned for the health of every business.

I am pissed I got stimulus money, why didn't they just figure out which people to give it to instead of to just give it to everyone? I dont need this spit in my hand they offered me, but so many people do need this spit, and they really couldn't figure out how to prioritize it to people that needed it instead of just sending me some spit in my hand randomly?

So stupid.

it's just a tax cut

no different.

[Jibartik]

It just feels wierd

I saw LA is going to try to make a Hero Check, or something they called it, for frontline workers.

Like, Id rather my check went to that.

I guess I can donate it.. or I can buy a bobafet helmet.

We all know which I'im going to do.

Florida and Texas are open, their populations aren't extinct

Quit being retarded already

[imperiouskitten]

rather be ded than floridian

[Gwaihir]

lol extreme right

Didn't you realize? Having a family you work to support, not being a drug addict, and being mindful of the subtext of the junk you subject yourself and your kids to, and not making a clown world circus out of your life is extreme right.

Your best bet is to just put the "normal" people on ignore. It's a major improvement to this place.

God bless

It would probably have taken a very long time to do that in any kind of accurate way, given our population of 350 million. I think the motivating factor was urgency rather than precision.

Also please note the complete absence of any mainstream news outlet giving trump credit for wanting to increase the stimulus checks to 2k instead of 600. They simply cannot say a positive thing about the guy; it would be blasphemous. Opposing trump is yet another of our insanely retarded modern secular religions.

Not exactly, we've gotten 1 check in 1 year that went out to "everyone", but there's been more stimulus in the form of payroll bonuses and business assistance and low interest rates than anything else.

Also please note, your political addiction to election based politics is irrelevant to this discussion at this moment.

And thirdly, a 2000 check is even MORE stupid than the 600 one that I am arguing against, so what are you trying to do here? Make trump look even dumber?

You need to find the dimensional portal and come join us in this reality. I read about this everywhere and heard it more than once on the radio during my commute.

Now, it was done as a "fuck you" to the chinless nutless piece of shit Moscow Mitch to put him in a position where he had to obstruct it before the runoffs. But the fact the he did it was well-covered in this universe.

[imperiouskitten]

who cares if he says "2000 good" if he doesnt arm rassle mitch. last empty signals of a "change agent" on his way out, who lost his millenial voters when he RINO'd out, but yet .......still doesn't control that party. He sucks, he lost the game, Mitch survived Trump and Mitch still runs shit. Mitch will have exercised more power in his life than Donald Trump, without ever even amassing comparable personal popularity. Mitch is the better player.

Bringing up the quacks of the lame duck as virtues are a big lol, but I'm unsurprised u find cuckoldry appealing. Can't stop the Mitch train, can only throw parting caltrops. Sick executive.

nevermind im responding to doug

[Jibartik]

same lol

As usual you are wrong. I watched both CNN and MSNBC the other week when the news was first hitting and they both applauded Trump for the 2000 aspect

Enjoy your echo chamber devoid of reality

[imperiouskitten]

^good point, it was def. covered in MSM. Had to be, since McConnell blocking it was the story. Doug talking gibberish again.

[kaizersoze]

Dont worry - the trump supporting omega karens are out on the front lines fighting the good fight. And out of breath within literally one swing.
