Yeah its sad, oh i hate the idea of people dying it does bug me as a spiritual healer/mender/herbalist but sometimes karma has to show itself. After the lesson has learned then its fine to honor the dead. Maybe not many doing this but i feel its good balance when someone at least does this job. Part of what i do as well sadly i may be ridiculed for it and that is ok. Simply lighting white candles and saying a prayer/incantation/spell in whatever faith/following you have will show this respect and whatever prayer/incantation/spell you say will reach the deads ears.

BTW i love your sig, its quite good. I can't agree with it more 🙂

I think the above mentioned card with a shirt that marks you as well so others will know to shun and avoid you. Don't wear said shirt/vest and infect someone i think that person should be held accountable. Good chance they will die before answering perhaps but still these people need clearly identifying marks right?

The entire car would empty the second they stepped onto a subway. They could sit anywhere they wanted.

Yeah i saw a episode of i believe it was Twilight zone and there was a episode where in the future if your vile and nasty, society has to by law avoid any sort of interaction with you. This one guy does that vile thing, gets put into this code and before his year sentence is over the guy is BEGGING for interaction. At the end when his sentence is over and he is free to interact again he suddely feels sympathetic to a woman who then receives the same treatment and the authorities close in. Quite a powerful episode.

Maybe we can take from science fiction and make it more science fact? I love this idea entirely.

Edit: The episode i mentioned

Speaking of karma, there was a bar/restaurant owner here in the Milwaukee area that vocally announced he was going to open on May 1st in direct defiance of the Governor's Stay at Home order. Needless to say, it did not end up well for him. He's been a loud mouth online for years and certainly since COVID-19. All those posts (several painfully racist) were dug up and it spread line wildfire around here. Not to mention his criminal record was dug up and he has several past, and some pending court cases - including domestic abuse. The guy is a real piece of work and his quite popular restaurants are going to now go down in flames.

Your on the front lines dealing with this? If so THANKS for your amazing contributions and your bravery! Hoping i can soon help, i found a few organizations who work with hospitals to make approved ppe mostly masks. Got people who sew and use 3d printers in some causes. Some plastic injection mold factories as well i guess are ramping up on production of masks over their usual orders. I got experience in the factories so starting today i will prob make some calls.

This site here has files for those who got 3d printers, people are actually printing usable masks and i find it quite incredible. This one themed on Bane for fun 🙂

Bane Face Mask "Nurse Bane" by ya_nervous

I blended the Rowan Face mask with the Bane mask and hopefully got the angles and proportions right. The face mask is the Rowan size large so should fit most men its just a matter if I got the angle over the forehead right. Will definitely require supports and I leave it up to you to see which...

It's not good that he died, but for some reason we have a thread celebrating his death.

I'm glad you have a mask; my sister doesn't. The reason she doesn't isn't because of shitty Facebook posts, it's because of a shitty capitalist economy and a totally dysfunctional government.

Good riddance. Need this to happen more. It will take more tragedy to the idiots who think lock downs are dumb, only them getting horribly sick or losing one of their loved ones is a strong enough wake up call.

No. Just No. Left unchecked, Covid-19 spreads at an exponential rate. Once enough people are infected, the curve turns vertical & there's no slowing it down.

Poor judgement is quite different from willful ignorance that this man displayed. He openly advocated for people to make their own judgement, he was told it was a poor idea not just for himself, but for others too. And yet he still decided to gamble with his life. He lost. His decision, his responsibility to bear the consequence of his decision.

What gamble are you referring to? Do we know how he got the disease?

Yes, that's exactly what I was saying. Who did he infect?

Assuming he did not live alone, and that he didn't self-isolated even before he had symptoms, the odds are he definately exposed many people and likely infected some of them people.

For those infected, that's the price for handing around with stupid friends, for any family, well the average IQ of your family just went up.

What are those assumptions based on?

Assuming that your grammar reflects your intelligence, I guess if you died of Coronavirus, the average IQ of your family would go up as well. Isn't it fun being a cruel asshole?

I saw the idea of facial recognition being used to identify these people. Toss them in a DB and when they show up at the ER. Oops! Sorry!

Punishing them in this way sounds so attractive but it just means another dumbass roaming the world infecting others.

And I still wish he hadn't died.
 
I hope more of them die. These people aren't going to learn anything if a good chunk of them don't fall over dead and soon. And they'll take as many of you along with them as they can. I have no empathy for all of these morons that willfully are attempting to harm others.

lol. These are the people you think will listen to Bernie. Better get with reality, bro.
