Covfefe-19 is a virulent coronavirus with an highly infectious 1-2 week asymptomatic period, and is primarily transmitted by proximity in circumstances where indoors and/or longer exposures are statistically more risky than outdoors and/or shorter exposures. What is it you don't understand about this?
And every situation is unique what dont you understand about this? This is the big problem. What is good for the goose is not always good for the gander.

3 years from now, some of you will look back & admit that you spent an entire year of your life wearing a mask, cooped up in your house & avoiding all the people you love. A year in your life that you’ll never get back.
And let me say this, I am not saying this virus isn’t real, or that there aren’t people that could be/have been really affected. If you’re at risk, take precautions, stay home when sick, absolutely.
Every single day is a risk.
Car accident, flu, etc.
Our days were numbered from the moment we took our first breath. Life isn’t a race where we win against the inevitable! That has not changed since the beginning of time!
BUT, we should not be forced to live in fear.
We went from being a free nation to being told we:
couldn’t go to school
couldn’t go to church
couldn’t go to our grandma's house
couldn’t pay respects to a loved one through a funeral
...and when we were allowed to do these things, we were told:
- how long we could be there
- how far apart we have to be
- what to wear...
Yes, our health matters.
But you know what else matters?
Family.
Friends.
Church.
School.
Hockey games.
Family vacations.
Neighborhood BBQs.
Life.
Fitness.
Hugs.
One day, you’ll hug your grandma, mom, dad, or brother for the last time.
One day, your best friend will cry on your shoulder for the last time.
One day, your child will play their last hockey game.
One day, they’ll have their last day of school.
One day, you’ll spend your last day laughing with a loved one.
One day, you’ll dance your last dance.
Don’t waste the days you have by living in fear.
Your time here on earth matters.
Live your life while you have the chance.
God is gonna call you home when it’s your time.
Virus or no virus.

We don't usually eat carnivores, at least land-based ones. Though pigs will eat you if you hold still long enough. Fish get a pass, we don't care what they eat. And chickens eat bugs.

My mum said something interesting this evening while we were talking on the phone about not seeing each other over the festive period: "Well, in 1938 your Uncle Bob joined the Merchant Navy and we didn't see him again for eight years! I think we'll cope."

Conspiracy =/= conspiracy theory. In fact "theory" is a misnomer.
I still don't know what you were getting at, but Russian Collusion by the Trump team was a conspiracy theory, and I think some ass-hat got a Pulitzer for it lol
Watergate was a conspiracy. Your belief that the Russia investigation was a plot by some dems and the deep state is a conspiracy theory.

Belief has nothing to it though. It was a weaponized investigation with no 'fruit'.
To keep things simple, the accusations were as real as the peepee tape that has never been seen.
Swalwell said that Trump was DEFINITELY in bed with Russia. I wonder if he got that info from his intelligence work, or Fang Fang...
Schiff said he saw evidence. He lied, or later decided to bury the evidence to help Trump.
It was fantasy, smoke and mirrors.

Nine,
Purely conjecture. We dont know the right way to approach this virus as every situation is unique.
You cant make a list of rules as that operates counter productively. The next virus could be a completely different beast. Lockdowns dont work in a densely populated modern society. Comparing Australia to the Netherlands is ridiculous. Both are opposites on almost all levels.
Yup. One defeated the virus, the other didn't...
No contest. A sparsely populated land. Comparing a social desert to a civilised modern society. Please Jim.
Bloody New Zealand miles from anywhere cant even control itself. JFCOAPS.

Maybe Scot is (rightly) sensitive about the attacks on the infected/infecting, because he was overly stung by this kind of attack on AIDS patients in decades past.
I know that when I hear people getting shitty about 'spreading covid', I think about how bible-thumpers used to talk about the gays spreading AIDS.
When did it become ok to vilify humans over virus transmission?
