Man craving donuts, and a generalized rant

But what's going to happen when people's money runs dry? Are they expected to become homeless, lose their jobs, and not have anything but the clothes on their backs? At some point, common sense has to kick in. We have to work in order to make a living. The experts say this virus is going to be around for a year to two years. We can't sit home not working for that entire time. People need to put food on the table for their families. Virus or no virus, people are itching to get back to work. If given the choice of being safe from the virus but losing my house, my car and everything I own, or going back to work and risking getting the virus, I'm going to go back to work and take the risk. And I'm going to wear a mask and wash my hands every 5 minutes. They say this virus has a 97% survival rate. That means 97 out of every 100 people will survive. Those are pretty good odds. If you walked by a slot machine in Vegas, and a sign above it said 97% of people are winners, would you put your money in that slot machine? Of course you would! Sorry, not trying to choose sides here, because I see the benefit of both sides. But we somehow have to find a balance...a balance of keeping us safe versus the balance of keeping people employed and food on the table.

The President isn't, and hasn't been focused on the pandemic. He has, however, been focused on his campaign. A lot of what he has done, if not all, has been because of his want to get back into the whitehouse. That's all I'm gong to say on that. We can't trust what's coming out of the government at the moment, not that we should ever completely believe what they say anyway..

A few countries which opened too fast are seeing the second wave. I hope like Boris Johnson, he will get some sense knocked into his head if he gets into an ICU, but it looks like his a number of people in his crew are testing positive already.

I fully agree, opening too soon is a serious risk, more people risk to die. We are opening little by little, today is the second day with no new cases and no deaths in the south of Switzerland, but the authorities are still very careful, the virus is still in the air, we MUST wear masks to go out.

I saw this today and I find this more worrying than the virus situation in your country I would be surprised if the UK don't try the same. Dept. of Defense purchasing 500 million ApiJect syringes to inject every person in America with coronavirus vaccine the article says that these syringes can also insert a tracker with the vaccine and the number they have on order suggest that the vaccination will be not optional.

Here also the authorities seem to have lost all hopes about winning over this virus.

I dont trust the president at all. He just wants reelected.

Maybe he sees it as one way of lessening the numbers of unemployed. It is just insane that people are protesting in the way they are.
