The thing that irritates me, is that a large portion of the population use the excuse that it heavily affects the older generation as if that somehow makes it okay.

As a 29 year old man, sure I'm confident I'll get over Covid if I got it, however I don't think it's fair that some idiot who doesn't take it seriously, could potentially give me the virus and I accidentally pass it to my "At-risk loved ones," not knowing I had it due to being asymptomatic.

Thats the truly selfish part.

Covid had a 99% survival rate without any medical intervention. They’re not the same which is why it was dumb of AG to compare the two.

Deaths year over year have not increased outside of expected annual levels.

The selfish part is expecting everyone to live a certain way that you feel is best. If your afraid of it stay inside.

My dad had it, my brother had it. I’ve seen it’s impacts with people I employ and in-fact lost a employee that caught it. It’s real, but you should take precautions that suit you and stop forcing others to live the way you feel best.

I’m pissed that so many have thrown freedom to the side and it’s destroyed people lives by shutting down the economy and churches... I had to lay-off 400 folks last year because of restricting business here in CA.
