Special “it’s just the chicken pox, bro” edition of “It’s just the flu, bro”.
Chicken pox is relatively benign for children but is more serious if you are older. There have been four ways of handling the chicken pox: 1. Ignore that it exists 2. Seek out the virus for your children so that they get infected, often at a chicken pox party. 3. Try and hide from the virus and avoid it. 4. Get vaccinated. Pre-vaccine, it was options 1 and 2 that were the most popular and option 2 was often seen as the best option for families to protect their children long term. The thinking was to get the disease now and avoid difficulties as an adult. Avoiding the disease permanently was thought to be near impossible and could lead to a riskier exposure later in life.
There are clear similarities between the chicken pox and coronavirus as it relates to being more serious if you are older and less serious if you are younger. So one could easily make the case that government closures of schools and elimination of youth sports has the effect of increasing deaths due to CV long term. Why are Dem governors, who have the most draconian lockdown rules, trying so hard to kill children with these mandatory lockdown rules?
This similarity between CV and chicken pox should be emphasized in the media, among health experts and among right thinking politicians. Perhaps Corona parties are the key (reportedly already happening in some spots)?
Good point

No matter the topic, they get passed by. Not worth the time.
Yes! Lol
Nice try. But the garbage posted on that thread doesn’t even approach the level of intelligent thought.
Complete trash.
That's what makes horse races.
