[QUOTE="Volatility_rivals135605, post: 131807453, member: 1476288"] IM sure there are other infections that could also cause death for those with Asthma, but it wasnt another infection, it was COVID. He was pretty healthy guy, very active lifestyle, worked out, an outdoors guy who loved fishing, deer hunting, & morel hunting in spring time... Just because another less common or rare infection could be a potential risk factor, does not justify knowingly & recklessly spreading COVID. There are many infections, viruses, bacteria, etc that is dangerous to humans, we all do what we can to reduce those risks by bathing, washing hands, etc... These other infections dont warrant a public strategy to mitigate because of the rarity. The GOvnt did not shutdown the economy, ruin businesses, ruin lives, caused more suicides, etc or seek to reduce our liberties by imposing vaccine passports for these other rare infections. MANY people have paid a very steep price for the betterment of the community. COVID, specifically the Delta is extremely contagious, so we as responsible citizens must hold ourselves accountable for the betterment of our community, for those who are at higher risk. That doesnt mean you should be forced to get the vaccine, it doesnt mean you are required to show a vaccine passport to engage with society, it doesnt mean you dont go on vacation or change your lifestyle. It simply means be reasonable & careful, wash your hands more, dont touch door handles with your hands, be cautious when you visit your grand parents, and if you are unlucky and get COVID, stay home, rest, hydrate, take your treatments, and dont intentionally & unnecessarily spread it and put other people at risk. While COVID is particularly dangerous to approx 2% of humans, I dont believe it rises to the level that justifies a reduction of individual liberties, individual freedoms, etc. However, I also believe we do what we can to reduce its impact, and part of that is not going to a College Football game knowing you are contagious. That is criminal negligence, and its not even a debatable. Any prosecutor or attorney will agree.. Intentionally infecting other people with ANY illness is illegal. If this story is true, and that kid wasnt just making a stupid joke, I would imagine he will be criminally pursued, esp if someone comes forward that got covid at/after the game. As he certainly should be. Just because you or those you love may be at a lower risk, does not justify reckless behavior that seriously jeopardize other citizens. I have no false perspective about this virus. Its not Ebola, but it is far worse then a typical flu, which is also potentially deadly to high risk people. If you got COVID and was down and out for two weeks, because someone knowingly infected you, you would absolutely be irate about that, even if you didnt have serious symptoms. I dont think people should have to change how they live their life, as long as that dont endanger other humans. When you look at all the laws we have in the U.S., a very large % of them are there to protect the health of its citizens. Its a pretty simple and morally justified perspective to generally care about the welfare of your fellow humans, WVians, & community. [/QUOTE]
