If having the anti-bodies becomes the ticket to get back to work, how many of you would purposefully contract the virus if you didn't already have it?

Posted on 04/08/2020 5:08:41 AM PDT by BuckeyeGOP

It's starting to sound like they are kicking around the idea that folks who have had corona already can get off the bench and get back into the economy.

So basically we will be rewarded for contracting corona.

I own a small business. Straight up... I'll find the damn virus and get infected if that's what it takes. I imagine I won't be the only one.

Have already been thinking of that. Stupid liberals, they’re going to put all of us into abject poverty. My dislike for them can not be described in any language. The words don’t exist.

I'm working from home and have been for the past several weeks.

I"m just as happy continuing that as anything.

My golf ball landed next to a 12 foot alligator at Venice Lake Golf Club the other day. I could have played the ball and maybe shot a par.....why tempt fate?

My answer is predicated completely on whether I have ready access to a week long regimen of HCA/Z-pack/Zinc. If so, yes. If not, no.

There is also a chance you could die, slightly higher than whooping cough and small pox. Now, there is risk in everything - you could choke on your morning bagel. But this wouldn't be like a chicken pox party.

Of course, the stress of seeing a business being vaporized is pretty high too. So I get it.

I’m game. This hysteria has to stop. Grow a set America.

because not playing that ball only results in a potentially higher golf game score.

Not contracting corona could result in the loss of livihood for a small business owner.

Your analogy falls short.

What if you find out those antibodies are short lived and you can get it again? And again.

On top of damage your organs suffered from the first round? ( you now have an underlying condition)

What if you find out this virus never does away, like hiv! It only retreats until triggered to emerge again. And no one yet will admit that or to the need to develop long term treatment for a chronic condition.

What if you find out it damages male fertility?

These are the scenarios suggested by anecdotal reports since January. Its obvious people are not being told the truth, just yet, until more answers are known.

Same here. I wouldn’t mind being able to do F2F meetings. Some people don’t communicate well remotely. They still think vague is a good means of writing specs.

“Do that thing we talked about in that meeting we didn’t invite you to”

Either one becomes trivial if you die...

For those in New York City and New Jersey and the deep blue states with anti Trump governors like California, Washington etc.
22 out of 24 Democratic governors have instituted statewide lock downs. * Many Republican governors have not.

An initial study from Italy suggests that with a 65% infection rate of a city the death rate is 2% of the population.

Italian town with about 65% COVID-19 positive has >1.7% death rate

What if a giant asteroid hits us tomorrow?

What if the Yellowstone supercaldera erupts next week?

What if there's a Great Depression II as a result of whimpering inside in fear instead of working, and that causes a Civil War II killing hundreds of thousands, and then china uses our internacine conflict to launch a nuke attack that kills tens of millions?

What if I get a hemorrhoid from lack of proper TP?

Worrying is no way to live.

Many show no significant symptoms.
Many describe it as worst disease they’ve ever suffered.
Many die.

Don’t like those odds.
I’ll keep my distance and continue working from home as I have for years.

Maybe we will find this out from our good man Sen. Rand Paul. BTW, looking at those comments, the leftist are a horrid bunch. Maybe you don't like his politics, but this guy is taking his apparent immunity and doing what is most needed right now.
