This seemed obvious to me. But apparently needed to be said.

"Half the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm -- but the harm does not interest them. Or they do not see it, or they justify it because they are absorbed in the endless struggle to think well of themselves." – T.S. Eliot

"The right of self defence is the first law of nature: in most governments it has been the study of rulers to confine this right within the narrowest limits possible. Wherever standing armies are kept up, and the right of the people to keep and bear arms is, under any colour or pretext whatsoever, prohibited, liberty, if not already annihilated, is on the brink of destruction." - St. George Tucker

A careful definition of words would destroy half the agenda of the political left and scrutinizing evidence would destroy the other half. - Thomas Sowell

"To ban guns because criminals use them is to tell the innocent and law-abiding that their rights and liberties depend not on their own conduct, but on the conduct of the guilty and the lawless, and that the law will permit them to have only such rights and liberties as the lawless will allow...

For society does not control crime, ever, by forcing the law-abiding to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of criminals. Society controls crime by forcing the criminals to accommodate themselves to the expected behavior of the law-abiding." - Jeff Snyder

Personal weapons are what raised mankind out of the mud, and the rifle is the queen of personal weapons. The possession of a good rifle, as well as the skill to use it well, truly makes a man the monarch of all he surveys. It realizes the ancient dream of the Jovian thunderbolt, and as such it is the embodiment of personal power. For this reason it exercises a curious influence over the minds of most men, and in its best examples it constitutes an object of affection unmatched by any other inanimate object.

Yeah...because us "old farts" don't do anything that "contributes" to a functioning economy.

Perhaps we should just institute a "Logan's run" policy...at say what...40? 50? 60?

I agree with the bullshit numbers...but the rest of your comment is bullshit.

You know the gist of what I'm saying. The most people that are dying from this are 70+, they dont work, many of them only put anything into the economy because they get social security.

If you are old or health problems stay home, let the able bodied people live life. We shouldnt be holed up because of a minority


That's a bullshit statement.

Just because people are on social security doesn't mean they don't have resources to spend and contribute to the economy.

Look at all the RV's, new vehicles, home repairs, vacation homes, travel, dining, season ticket holders etc etc that are "old people" financed.

I agree that if you have health issues or are more susceptible you should exercise more caution...but to blame the lockdown on old people is arrogance and ignorance.

People with their only income being social security arnt buying rv's....nor technically helping the economy


You just can't get it can you?

Just because someone is only getting "social security" doesn't mean they don't have other financial means.

I'll grant you that there are those who only get SSI and aren't "contributing" to the economy on the scale you may see as acceptable. But they still buy groceries, and other life necessities. So yes...they are contributing to the economy. Just not on the scale as a big spender/contributor like you may be.

"Flattening the curve" has never really meant that fewer people would get the virus; it meant that fewer would get it AT ONE TIME. Absolute number will probably be the same.

Add in mutations and this thing is a permanent resident of planet earth and a pernicious foe of humanity.

Add in that some develop 'chronic' infections (they never get rid of it)... China has suggested that the chronic ones be "isolated". For a life-long infection? Just give me the .22 behind the ear and move on, thanks.

That is just an idiotic way to say it.

Of course, at 61 if I was retired I would stay home. But I am not and I am some kind of factor more productive than some gen whateverthefuk who can't even understand fractions at the advanced age of 25.

Number 1 should absolutely be people with a compromised immune system along with retired people over 65. #2 should be fatties over 40 with heart conditions, #3 fatties with diabetes. And lastly fatties in general.

Update for the old fart list as of 5/1/2020. I got you all beat. I'm number 1 on the runway.

I take precautions for myself because I'm the king of old farts. That's about all anyone can do, but the elderly are at a much higher risk. I don't do much different other than I'm more aware of what I am doing and others around me. Amazing how careless people are. All gloved up with a face mask fondling everything in sight.

I created this because MSM won't report any details of deaths. Lazy ass reporting to keep the fear flowing.

I personally thank all you old farts for whatever free will you are choosing. Staying home, going out, you do you.

It ain't the old peoples fault. They're just the string attached to the heart that the opportunists are tugging on for this BS.

No different than the tricycle motors and guns. "for the children".....

My dad is 85 and anyone on here who can get him to stay home...I'll give you a gift cert to any steak house you want. Be forewarned, he fights dirty.

Can you explain in more detail the plan used to go about these phases? How you came up with the phased planning?

In other words, what is the process?

...with a caveat. It's not necessarily "old" people, as many old people have survived the virus. If you're vulnerable (no matter your age), you likely know it, and should take personal responsibility to protect yourself as much as possible. The government shouldn't take on the responsibility of trying to protect "everyone" because some are at higher risk.

I found this waiver for those that would like to protest and don't think they are causing harm to others. :ROFLMAO:
