D. Earl Stephens@EarlOfEnough·3h
When you listen to the f*cking Tavern League and ignore the science, you have a really bad thinking problem.

Yes, COVID-19 cases will spike, and these people will infect those in their own tribes. I'm only sorry that their children will be affected.

But I won't be there with them. I'll continue to wear my mask and gloves, and I continue to practice social/physical distancing.

Let 'em, I say. Sure, there may be collateral damage, and it will strain resources, and that will be unfortunate, but it really is the only way these buffoons will get the point. I'm just getting fucking tired of the mask wars. Let 'em go.

They're all like, if you don't want to go out, stay home- as if that was all that mattered in this situation.

I've been going out since this whole thing started. Not as much as usual, and I wear gloves and a mask and practice social distancing. It hasn't been hard.

I think everyone should do that, and if you can stay inside, stay inside. These practices have saved lives. And continuing these practices will continue to save lives.

If you live in a red state where you've been given the all-clear, then, by all means, have a blast. I won't be joining you, and when I do go out, I'll continue to be cautious. But don't be surprised and don't complain when you and yours get sick and die.

It's actually pretty funny, the stay at home if you don't want to go out comment. It's not as if these two actions are equally acceptable. Hey, if you don't like vanilla ice cream, get chocolate chip. Or, hey, buy Coke, I won't drink anything but Pepsi. These are normal, everyday choices, not life or death decisions. Going out for a drink with friends or shopping in a crowded store right now is dangerous. Think of parachuting. A high altitude low opening jump at night during a thunderstorm, with an 80-pound back and out of a helicopter. for a first jump is life threatening. Jumping using a static line from 1500 feet during the day with beautiful weather and no wind is safe (ish). But, hey, sure, do what you like. I gotta say, though, if you're that confident, don't forget to sign your waiver of health care when you catch COVID-19.

equipment it's not foolproof. That's party why so many health care workers are getting sick, even the ones that have proper PPE. So I hope you don't get it but there is a possibility that one of those people could infect you too some way or another.

catch the virus and good riddance to them. But the problem with that is they could infect innocent people who didn't go to the bars and probably some of those people would die. So I am very fearful for the people of Wisconsin.

Yet, when them or a loved one gets hit with the virus, they'll be running to their doctor or nearest emergency room, demanding front of the line health care. Right in line with their "all about me" way of thinking.

"All about me!"
"I want a manicure"
"I want to go to Chili's"
Then, they go to work day after day and put those at risk that are doing without because it's the wise thing to do.
But, as long as THEY are happy...
