    Not a forum big enough, and not everyone will agree is my point.

    For starters:

    Turn signal
    Wash hands after using toilet
    Never buy another bottle of plastic water

    Varying degrees of importance, this also depends on how much people care about 'common' courtesy, hygiene, and the environment.
    These aren't my heavies by any stretch - these are ones I think should be achievable.

    I digress.

    Take care everyone, do what you feel you need to do to protect yourselves!

    I am going to assume that was supposed to read “plastic bottle of water”. But if not, please do indulge me because these days I wouldn’t be surprised!

    When you're putting the safety of the community at risk - at that point it's no longer a matter of your personal freedoms. It's a matter of national health and security.

    Imagine someone with HIV having the freedom to sleep around... they can't cause it's illegal. Philosophically - this is no different and yet hundreds of millions are getting away with it.

    It is different. Because they know they have HIV. So your comparison is actually: If someone who knowingly has covid goes out in public ( spreads it). (which I think anyone in their right mind should agree with 'can't cause it's illegal').

    In the context of COVID it's a grey area at best, but I fear that using this as a general definition will not be favorable for anyone's freedom in the long run. We are letting children go to school, to me that is a risk to the community and we are still allowing it. It is how this thread was born...

    I mean life can't just stop.
    But what is wrong with continuing online learning, at least for the older students. It may not work for all classes, but still works for some.

    Our firefighting group did it (and some of them are not the most technological - still with flip phones) and they loved it. We haven't done it for awhile, but winter is when the more class base things are done so can go back to that. Not only that, but it keeps you off the terrible winter roads / avoid accidents.

    The thread was meant to be helpful.
    Thanks to those that had something positive/informative to add for our safety.

    For those that missed it... this shit (the Delta variant of COVID) is headed north.
    NY Times map is behind a pay subscription. But if one looks at it every day, they'll see the density trending North.
    https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/...vid-cases.html
    (The strong, threatening density is now at the MI-IND-OH three-state border point...)
    (And W.VA is full infected... so that shit will cross over into Maryland and Virgina soon...)

    You guys MAY think you've seen COVID where you are...
    But you haven't seen this COVID.
    It's more contagious (I think 2.5x more, by R-not numbers) that the base virus from last year.

    It's boss and mean... and if you don't prep yourself seriously... it'll come get you.

    Is that white section actually from lack of cases or lack of statistical data?

    Lack of data.
    Some counties do not report (for some reason).

    Reading for the day:
    https://www.npr.org/sections/health-...-shame-and-ang
    It is important to constantly regard this virus with morality - that real people (opinions irrelevant) are dying from this.
    Don't ****ing joke/jest about this in this thread.

    I appreciate your post Pengwin7. It's unfortunate that so many people will just ignore this because they have been so badly manipulated. It's still worth the effort though.
