The US outbreak will likely never be tamped down as long as stupid people keep doing stupid things.

The places that do start loosening up once progress is made will have to worry about imported cases across state lines because of this kind of enormously irresponsible behavior. I would not be surprised to see some dramatic restrictions put into place by those same states if you want to come in.
 
I am really getting sick of the dumb fucks that think exceptions apply for religious purposes.

Go do your circle-jerk dancing, book reading rituals all you want. No one is preventing you from freely having your religion.

Where in our founding documents did it say thou shalt have freedom of religion... and the ability to gather with others of your religion at any time?

Umm... not for nothing, but it's kinda the First Amendment to the Constitution.

That said, the government does make laws that restrict freedom of speech, religion, etc. and this is certainly an occasion where that is justified.

But even if they hadn't fully recovered (and that's a leap to say that those specifically being closely looked at in such a study might still be infected, and nobody noticed) surely they should have antibodies?

Not if they were still very ill and had their status changed to "recovered" just so the government could fudge numbers. That is the scenario which was alleged.

The mask requirement is very reasonable. America's aversion to masks makes us a laughing stock to South Koreans. Korean doctors say it's common sense that almost any mask is better than nothing. However, many also believe you can die of hypothermia by leaving an electric fan running while you sleep and the government mandates automatic shut-off.

Every time I read a story about how South Korea is handling this event I am overcome with the most insane jealousy that I've ever experienced.

I believe in the fact that you can do what you want. As long as it doesn't jeapordize my health or life.

*Would it be fine to drink and drive?
* What about smoking in your presence?
*What if I blew smoke in your face. Would that be perfectly fine?

Just because you can't see something it doesn't mean it's not a threat. You should watch the documentary on the Spanish flu, and what happened in Philly.

I taught in South Korea. Many of my students wore masks. It's actually quite fashinable in Asia.

Same with fake braces in Thailand. All of the girls there had braces, and I had no idea why. It's actually shows that you have money since braces are expensive, and it's fashionable as well. And can be deadly. Sadly. 🙁

Doctors warn fashionable dental braces can kill

The Dental Council has warned teenagers wearing fake dental braces in the hope of making a fashion statement to be wary, as testing has showed the accessories are laden with toxic heavy metal.

As well as that 'assembly' thing, though those in favor of denying civil rights will debate the meaning of the term.

SKers being packed in to a tiny region like sardines is a laughing stock to me.

I'm specifically referring to the 2nd portion of my statement.... Yes, I understand you have a freedom to believe in whatever flying spaghetti monster you want.

That doesn't mean you have the right to gather wherever you want, whenever you want, with whomever you want.

South Korea?

Still density is density. No I don't know anything about South Korean life.

The current density of Seoul is almost twice that of New York City.

South Korea is facing a low birth rate and a rapidly aging population. By 2018, 14%of its population will be over 65, making it officially an aged society.

As a Christian I agree. Our church did the right thing and cancelled all services. (I don't think it was mandated at the time) You can have faith in God but he is not going to protect you from your own stupidity.

What I hate is that now that churches legally can't operate, they of course have an exception for mosques. They always do that for them. No, the rules should apply to EVERYONE.

Sure I don't recommend going to a hole-in-the-wall place...

The point being is that paying an extra $3 for Shell/Exxon/GroceryStore is not any different from Costco Gas...besides waiting in lines heh.
Click to expand...
i like how you didnt reply my post, well the extra 3$ is the price of shit gas, if you add another 3 then its exxon. so its actually 6$+ saved by going to costco. to top it off shell has been notoriously failing for shorting people on gas and other violations at the pump. (i used to ask the guy testing the pumps which stations to stay away from)

thats weird of course i dont have a great name insurance like state farm but my insurance goes down every year even with tickets every year ;P of course you like paying extra so i guess its not a big deal, i pay by the year so maybe you could get a better discount if you did the same.
