    I suppose I could answer that any way I want, right? Just like you did.
    I also never vociferously and repeatedly claim to be or not be something, which you do, eh, Hamlet?

    I'm torn. I wear a mask, social distance, etc. And I know my state's stringent policies have saved lives. But my county has about 90,000 residents and has only 34 confirmed cases and five deaths, three or four of which were from the same nursing home.

    I think it's time for a soft reopen. But we won't have one for at least another 10-13 days, at the earliest.

    Either way, I'll follow the law. And try not to endanger others.

    Agreed. It reverses some previous bad news, but still doesn't prove that people can't get it again.

    That wasn't even Alma's usual bullshit. He was just finding a way to make another excuse for selfish assholes because I asked him to stop doing that.

    Voting against Trump and W (once) means you're not a Republican? How did the rest of your ballot look, Alma?

    Northam's reasoning for waiting until next Friday was to give businesses a real target date and an opportunity to prepare for opening with safety measures in place. As opposed to Georgia, who just said fuck it, Katie Bar The Door, let's go this weekend.

    You are skeptical that climate change is occurring? Or are you skeptical about whether “green energy” is effective to battle it? Apologies that I have not see the Michael Moore documentary.

    If you can catch it again, herd immunity is impossible because it’ll keep bouncing around the planet. We may get herd immunity before we get an effective vaccine at the rate it’s projected to return to.

    Don't waste your time. It's even worse than the usual Michael Moore wad of bullshit.

    We don't know if we can catch it again. Also, it's not just a binary thing. What if we catch it again, but it is much less severe if you already have the antibodies. Maybe it sucks, but it becomes manageable in more cases. Even once there is a good vaccine, I don't think it is going away. I think the reasonable hope is that we can get it to be as manageable as the flu.
