No joke.
Forget the ventilator on this guy.
They need the blowers from the Macy's Day Parade.
Which by the way there isn't one of anymore.
“In America, I claim the right to make my own decisions, and reserve that right for other citizens.”

The problem with that claim will be evident if you claim the right to take a dump on the middle of the street - even if you claim others can do it, too, if they’re so moved (or “movement”). Good luck with navigating such claims through reality.
“I’ll be going to work.”

Tell that to your boss when you find work, not me.
Besides you could have worked at any number of places that were open due to being deemed “essential” - from fast food places to nursing homes. You could have been working at any such spots but were terrified of coming in contact with the virus. So you’re still hiding at home and complaining here. Sorry, no sympathy. Yes - get a job and go to work, by all means. Enough talk and fake bravado at the keyboard, just do it.
The states are beginning to open up.
The next challenge will be to get folks to participate in the economy.
Hint: Name calling and finger pointing is not a winning strategy.
You are clueless, pal. Yes I am essential. Have not missed a minute of work. I am virtually certain I had a mild case caught from my oldest son. Did not miss time then, either because it was before the liars with the CDC admitted it was already here. My son had all the later disclosed symptoms, but tested negative for the flu. The medical community in my local came to realize COVID was probably here in early December 2019 . . . lots of "flu" cases that tested negative for the flu. We were coping just fine here until the politicians got involved.
Were I not in an essential business, I have plenty of skills to make my own way and the balls to do it. Clear to me that the keyboard bravado is coming from your end, not mine. I have walked the walk, not just talked the talk.
My bad. I made the mistake of thinking everybody on FR could read. . . .
“Have not missed a minute of work.”

When you get done debating yourself as to whether you’re out of work and need to get back (per the previous outburst) or the latest claim above, get back to me. Thanks.
“Nowhere in the article does it say they tested positive for the virus!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Before you need to replace your exclamation key - the NY Post story was just a summary of a full article elsewhere, which the Post linked to:
see post 65.
“Which one of you Flubros is now singing a different tune?”
When they said Coronavirus was NO WORSE than the flu, they were, in effect, saying that the virus was a hoax.
Now, with 90,000 dead, they’re having trouble coming up with ways to appear credible...so they deny they ever claimed it was nothing to worry about, and what really bothered them was our response to it.
...of course when they were calling the virus a hoax, we still hadn’t started responding. But those are details, I guess.
How does stopping Suzie Tight Buns and Joe Six Pack Abs from working out in a public health club help that bed ridden person at all?
You are correct. However; the virus has statistically had a much greater negative impact on those with underlying conditions such as obesity, COPD, etc. as well as those who are of advanced age.
Everyone is not at the same risk of dying, being hospitalized, or even showing symptoms the way we are being conditioned to believe by being shown raw death/infection numbers with no context.
Those who are in the higher-risk buckets like the person who is the subject of this story, should exercise greater diligence in protecting themselves. Meanwhile; the rest of us should be able to examine the information, evaluate the risk for ourselves, and continue to live a normal life without these over-reaching restrictions under which we are now forced to live.

Very few people who became infected expected that they would get it. Although I’d count the urge to dismiss every case by going on non-stop tortured health-sin scavenger hunts (”well, his great granduncle was known to like an occasional cigar!”) as an obvious sign of being in denial, that’s completely ignoring that those who become infected - no matter their health (or whatever perceived health sins) - become carriers of a highly contagious disease.
As I said, diseases don’t care, they just latch on to whatever’s passing by and keep on going that way, ad infinitum.
