The 8th Is A Good Day To . . . not listen to some social group or clique that wants to share ‘facts’ that are a distinct danger to your health. Under current conditions that likely applies to anyone who thinks they know better than the world’s epidemiologists. Though our knowledge of Covid-19 is growing and so changing every day, there are some solid established facts that those who are always looking for conspiracies (or looking to make a name for themselves), those who barely passed high school science but who now ‘just know’ how we should conduct ourselves, and those who earned their medical degrees on Facebook, will try to persuade you aren’t valid. You may be told that if you are spiritually and/ or biologically healthy you have nothing to fear, or that if you’re young it won’t be worse than the common cold (part of why this virus can be so deadly is that this is new to our immune systems–on an individual basis they may not be equipped to respond adequately), or that this is just Nature’s way of sorting us out–and with that last, I actually agree: survival of the fittest includes decimating populations who aren’t smart enough to respect the science of the virus, to learn, adapt, and so survive. Wear a mask over nose and mouth, social distance, wash your hands, do your part–when it comes to science, your beliefs don’t matter–and doing what’s suggested will, at the very least, show you care for and respect your fellow human beings.
A Good Day To . . . is based on the aspects perfecting on each day, Pacific time.
Too many people just don’t know how to deal with changing their life to adapt to what’s needed. Or too busy or distracted to invest the time for their own sake and others. Most every process or habit we have has been altered in some way by COVID. Most of our buildings were never designed for social distancing and we need to alter our habits and patterns to adjust. Culture seems to have too much momentum to change and adapt quickly. And sadly, there’s potentially worse pandemics than what we’ve experienced in the last 100 years.
Yes, though I would differ on one point: nobody needs to independently know how to deal with adapting–it’s not that each of us must figure out how to do it–we’ve all been told, repeatedly. I think it’s the way each of us thinks we get to decide exactly how to (or whether we will) comply that’s the problem. We can’t put our own filters on what must be done, we just need to do it. Thank you for your input, John. Stay safe.

99.6% if us will survive .U too are a dumbass for your lets punish us all equally for something science shows is less than the Flu reasearch it lol
If that’s your argument, then it’s clear you both don’t know what’s going on and are responding to the subject with the emotional maturity of a toddler. Thank you for validating my confidence in Darwinism, Troll.
And for my Readers: this person’s email address suggests they see one’s response to Covid as purely political–so that, also, speaks volumes. Ironically, the url supplied was to the cdc, which is plastered with the dangers of and instructions on dealing with Covid!

That would be an amazing survival rate, except it’s wrong. Ignorance isn’t a defence against COVID-19, but good luck with that!
COVID is not a form of Influenza (a common flu). For COVID-19 we don’t have a cure; we don’t have a vaccine. We still don’t know if it is capable of mutating. Many people are suffering long-term lingering after-effects.
Science is still studying the Pandemic of 1918, a H1N1 avian virus (it wasn’t until 2008 that they discovered what made it so deadly; it killed many healthy people of all ages.)
There’s another deadly avian virus out there (discovered 1997). While it is rarely transmitted to humans, it has a human mortality rate of over 50% – no cure, no vaccine yet. (Julie – will send you a link via email)
Thank you, John–preach, brother! Denial, as they say, ain’t just a river in Egypt–and it’s killing us.
