Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Bell Tolls for Thee" data-source="post: 131807602" data-attributes="member: 1812660">"Humanity includes ALL people, not just the young & perfectly healthy + fit. Our Laws are for everyone, not just for specific religions, races, body sizes, or age groups. We kinda take the whole "All men are created equally" seriously, its what makes this so great, along with individual liberties."True, but the dangers of infectious disease to those that are not young and healthy have always existed.  Multiple people, such as those on chemotherapy or immunosuppressants for autoimmune diseases, are at increased risk of infection.  Sure this guy is an *******, but the prevailing implication from so many is that EVERYONE else has responsibility to protect these vulnerable folks rather than the vulnerable taking the responsibility for their own risk assessment and safety.  This is the way it was done until 2020 and no one offers a good explanation as to why it suddenly should change."Im not sure why you think a conversation with my X wife about what shes treating in the hospital with regard to COVID is her having an axe to grind. She loves her job, she was expressing concern about it, because the delta variant is worse then some media outlets are discussing. Compared to the original variant, shes seeing a far higher % of younger people, and a higher % of serious symptoms."Perhaps I shouldn't presume motive, but if it is not an axe to grind, it is unintentional anecdotal evidence that clouds the issue.  No matter what she is seeing, that does not mean the overall data are reflective of her work environment.  Delta is more infectious, but a significantly higher percentage of serious symptoms is not the case.  Again, the increased number of infections results in increased number of serious symptoms compared to the alpha variant.  This is particularly true if your area was not hit that hard with the alpha wave which makes up most places outside of NY and NJ.  Increased total numbers does not reflect increased total percentage."The entire point of this thread was not about individual liberties, vaccines, partisanship, etc.... It was a kid knowingly endangering peoples health & lives by going to a very crowded & close proximity public event and intentionally spreading COVID. If its wasnt a stupid joke.... Which who knows at this point. Either way, very idiotic. After all the BS the govnt has done the past year, and everything they are trying to do, its actions like this that works against those who are trying to source reason, fairness, & balance. Recklessness & Negligence like that will only further an outcome we both do not want nor support."Yes the kid is an ******* for doing that.  He would be if he did the same with flu or the cold.  Just be intellectually honest with what is going on.  Coming to a game with COVID is closer in danger to coming to the game with flu or cold than say Ebola.  DUI is far more likely to harm someone than doing what this guy did.  Hence, if you hold this kid in such higher contempt than the other examples I mentioned it is not based upon facts, but rather political manipulation.</blockquote>
