Suicide him, I’d say. As fun as that might be, writing his suicide note would be the best. If I’m feeling creative later on, I’ll write a proposed, tongue-in-cheek suicide note for him, subject to ET members input!

Epstein his ass.
You are probably going to contract it anyway now so make sure you are taking centrum. More viral load exposure can mean a worse infection outcome, don't drop your guard until you are certain it is corona you have.
pure MAGA koolaidWhat are you even talking about.
The worst effected cities are the urban cesspools run by Democrats (LA, NY, etc). Places that had smaller and weaker lockdowns were comparatively unaffected.
If you want to stay inside that's fine. Allow your immune system to weaken to the point it doesn't even work anymore. Continue to comply with your state officials while they destroy your small businesses and pass more and more dollars to the Waltons and Bezos. Why is it that I couldn't get a hair cut but I could drive to Walmart to buy shit I didn't need? Why is it that I couldn't see my doctor for my yearly physical but I could consume product from Bezos? Why is it that I was encouraged to consume product from MegaCorp but I couldn't go to the local grocer to buy locally sourced eggs and meat?
The coronavirus is the perfect catalyst for the new age robber baron to truly shine and everyone who's afraid of the sniffles is complicit in their pillaging of American small business.
People are acting like a few hundred thousand people dying of some virus is new. The regular flu kills about as many people per year. Call me up when it's 2/3 as deadly as the Spanish Flu. The probability of having "permanent disability" from COVID-19 is still significantly less than Polio. I'll take my chances.
and remember "we're here with you" and don't forget put on your 3M brand mask and use your Purell brand hand sanitizer early and often:
I'm more of a nihilistic type when it comes to who will sacrifice what for whom, especially as groups and organizations are concerned. They'll all sell out to the highest bidder in the end.
Police brutality and overreach is a problem. So is government overreach and I have never in my lifetime seen a more clear abuse of power than has been enacted by governors and mayors during this manufactured Covid crisis.
You're right about one thing. Millions of people locked up with nothing to do but think. Idle mind equals devils playground and all that. We've been sitting on a powder keg for quite some time. Guess it's gonna blow and we'll all go to hell together believing we were on the right side.
The ingredients of a really large spike up in virus cases are idiots like these posters who think they are youthful, strong immunity, virus won't get them where they live. Personally I'm in my 50s and have a great immunity system ( going off a lifetime of relative health ), and I don't chance the virus in any unnecessary way. Going to the beach without a mask is not a smart decision nobody really needs their time at the beach. It was confirmed before the main US outbreak that a group of young people who partied in Spring Break a huge number of them got the virus and spread it to their communities.
Japan did not shutdown their economy and still doing fine. Compare their infection and death rates with the US. Of course, everyone wears masks. One reason people do not want masks is if you are older, it makes breathing harder because it deprives you of oxygen. So, use it in public places with lots of people like grocery stores, malls, hospitals. Remove it when you get to your car. Take a hot bath when you get home. Heat kills the Corona Virus in the oft chance you got some Corona Virus droplets on your body. That should suffice for the most part. Now, let the other younger people do their jobs and allow them to earn a living.
Not to mention they need to move the goal post up to cancer. This whole "lightnings, car accidents, the flu kill more people per year" argument is outdated:
Virus needs to spread, more cases the better at this point. Cases rising but long hospitalizations and dying still in decline. What does that mean?
Much of the truly vulnerable population has died. Earlier identification of virus leading to better treatment protocols. Doctors becoming more familiar with different variables of sick patients has resulted in more people surviving. None of this can happen if everyone is locked up waiting for a vaccine which is months away at best. Bottom line, if you become infected probability of survival is extremely high, EXTREMELY HIGH.
Use whatever protocols you believe to be prudent, but we must go out into the world of uncertainty as we do every day with every decision we make.

Brilliant, thoughtful intelligent post.

Congratulations on linking fake news. You need total disease burden to consider this data:
https://www.cdc.gov/flu/about/burden/past-seasons.html
35,520,883 infections of Influenza in 2019. Estimated deaths between 26,339 and 52,664.
COVID-19 IFR is presently estimated at 0.863% in the NYC. Less than one percent of cases result in a fatality with present data. Which means since NYC has the highest disease burden the IFR is almost too small to be measured in basically every other part of the US. This is still 8x higher than the Flu but infinitesimally small. You have a higher probability of fatality going for a jog in the park or tripping down a set of stairs in both cases.

Maybe one day you'll learn what a primary source is. 3M and Purell thank you for your service, however. Decision analysis is a hard subject for people. Especially when you don't understand how to divide by 100.
