What I found odd about that is the implication that there is such a thing as acceptable losses. Open up the schools and send everybody back to work in crowded offices because "not that many" people will die. Where's the line where it becomes "not too many"? In Vietnam apparently that was about 58,000. in World War 2 it was about 407,000. So in this context, people should be welcomed to shoehorn into every bar in the country because, lord knows, "IT'S OUR RIGHT" to drink and drive? And spread the most heinous virus we have known in our (yours and mine) 70-ish years of life? Who accepts the responsibility when that mother of 5 who is given the choice "Come back to work NOW or lose your job forever" dies from Covid 90 days later?

THIS is the mentality that is going to make this worse before it gets better.



This CEMENTHEAD wants to send kids back to school WHILE ADMITTING they are going get sick.

"Acceptable losses".

This is NOT the flu and all the morons who compare it to the flu should be lined up against a wall and shot. Until THEY have Covid, on what do they base that assessment?

I had to go get dog food yesterday. As I was in line paying, the guy in front of me did not have a mask on. I asked him why. He said he didn't need it. I dropped my stuff, stepped up chest against chest and said "I say you DO need one. And I am going to kick you out of the store myself if this cashier doesn't." He glared at me and left. I then asked for a manager. The manager came out and I asked why they have a sign on the door demanding masks. He said what I though he would say. And I asked. Then why was your employee here happy to wait on a customer who defied that demand and was willing to put all the rest of us at risk? More importantly, is this the norm? You post a sign but don't enforce it? I think maybe this kid needs a week off without pay, and if you don't I will follow up the ladder until YOU are unemployed. Your serve." HE tried to duck me by saying "I'll handle it sir." But I did not relent. I said "I'll wait right here and see HOW you handle it. And this is a public place. You can't force me to leave. Feel free to call police and we can all talk about why you refuse to enforce the governor's order that customers must wear masks. Still your serve." And he glared at me and told the cashier to take the rest of the day off. I am going back tomorrow. If she's there, it starts again.

When I am at risk because others are rude and inconsiderate, I will stand my ground. Every time. To be honest, I kind of wish the customer I told off had become ignorant and stood up to me. That would not have ended well for him.

Why can't everybody cooperate? "Acceptable losses" my a**.
