I wonder what they would think if presented the statistics on getting herpes versus getting coronavirus and suffering any sort of effect of coronavirus other than feeling like crap for a couple of days and having an annoying lingering cough for a couple weeks, which beats a lifetime of never knowing when you are going to break out in sores.
A fearful populace is easily controlled.
They are actually worried about taking it home to family. But their beliefs are unscientific. They believe wearing the mask publicly will make up for not wearing it privately. They install an app on their phone so the school can track where they are at all times.
I drove through campus today to go to the recycling center and more than half the students walking around campus were wearing a mask.
Corona and Floyd were the miracle for the left v Trump. I know some who generally are pretty conservative who are all in on the Corona fear. I can’t even reason with them with facts and common sense conjecture.The left has pretty much cornered the millions of new voters of the class of 2020 and millions of Karens and Chads. Be very worried.
Simple solution to the pandemic,,,,Make HCQ and Azithromycin OTC drugs so anyone who develops a cough and/or fever can go the nearest drug store and self medicate with the drugs along with Zinc Sulfate with correct dosage within 48 hours of symptoms and pandemic over.,,,,,instead of waiting a few days to get tested and 5 days for the results,,,,if over 60 years of age,,,,you’re dead.
The chances a college student with no pre-existing conditions will die of COVID is extremely small. That said, it’s not just the death rate, but the blood clots, the permanent lung damage, and the four- or five-figure hospital bills that are a disincentive to party on like it’s 2019. It’s not a choice between dying from it and just having the sniffles.

What doesn’t kill you doesn’t always make you stronger.
I love going down memory lane. The summer before my freshman year of college, soooo many moons ago, I was only concerned about getting as many hours at work to pay for school, chasing girls, swimming, golfing and tennis. I was going to a school where I knew zero people, so I was also a bit concerned about making friends. (That turned out to be nothing to worry over.) I suppose in retrospect I was concerned about being able to compete in college. That was one two levels, academics and sports (I had a partial sports scholarship, so it was important for paying the tuition.). I was more concerned about the academic side of things. I suppose these are good things to be concerned about. It keeps you from being complacent. The major scare of the day was the threat of nuclear war with the Soviet Union. It certainly didn't affect how I lived. President Reagan was in office, the economy was still in the tank from Carter (eff'n pissant POS peanut farmer that knew zero about economics or anything else for that matter.)
I had nothing standing in my way of having endless opportunity that summer. You know, I wake up every day thinking the same thing before I go to work, till and including this day. The ChiCom flu doesn't slow me down. It's a shame these kids are so worried over something so statistically insignificant. I guess they don't teach mathematics at government indoctrination centers these days.
And yet, we’re hearing of so many getting into parties, then in trouble or getting sick because of that.
Which view of the college kids is more accurate? Afraid, or careless?

This whole COVID debacle is pure mind control! I flew on a trip this week and saw this 60 something Karen in a damn hazmat suit on the same flight. What an absolute nut case! Too much CNN.
The children (Millennials/Gen Y) at my workplace are terrified.
Uneducated kids. Sad.
