CNN medical analyst wants to ‘cancel’ Christmas over COVID fears

Do under-nosers count as masked people?

Absolutely not!!!

It doesn’t matter whether it’s Mass or something else.

Is, or is not, reception of the sacraments vital to our lives?

 

[ThinkingSapien]

Absolutely not!!!

Then I see a lot of unmasked people in stores. Sometimes families of them.

Do under-nosers count as masked people?

Well just how far are we to go with enforcement?
Are we going to have someone at the entrance inspecting every mask to insure proper fit and size?
What is the standard here anyway?

 

[ThinkingSapien]

Well just how far are we to go with enforcement?

Can’t tell you. But the face of the matter is that despite enforcement attempts, there are people exhaling their unfiltered breath in places where people go to get necessary supplies.

In the middle of a pandemic when cases are exploding, and you are dispensed by your Bishop, yes, it’s risky behavior. To a certain extent, right now all indoor activities in public places are risky.

Well I’ve been going to mass every day and receiving communion on the tongue. so far I’m good. Maybe I caught it and didn’t know it.

Absolutely true, because there are people who apparently have no regard for said people at risk.

That is very mean and not true.

You just said that healthy people should refrain from risky activities, and then intimated that people with comorbidities should be able to engage in risky activities, except that healthy people don’t care.

If you feel you must engage is this risky behavior, then take that into account as you go out into your community. Consider having groceries delivered. Limit your number of trips to other stores or public places.

Think of other people.

I still go to my nail shop every two weeks. They are losing business and are worried about having to close. As a show of support, I’m thinking of getting pedicures this winter, even though I usually only get them in summer. These are Vietnamese refugees. I hate to see this. I’m encouraging my friends to patronize them.

You are required to participate in the Eucharist once a year, during the Easter season.

So do I. Blade calls that “Ice Skating uphill”

 

[PaulinVA]

That is very mean and not true.

I don’t say it lightly. I do believe it’s true that some people, not saying people here, aren’t thinking of others in these pandemic times but are thinking of themselves.

You just said that healthy people should refrain from risky activities, and then intimated that people with comorbidities should be able to engage in risky activities, except that healthy people don’t care.

Never said that.

Look, we obviously disagree. Okay. I’ve stated my opinion and you’ve stated yours. You don’t need my approval and I don’t need you to agree with me.

I also acknowledge it’s a big world and people’s experiences differ.

You are required to participate in the Eucharist once a year, during the Easter season.

So we have gone from the sacraments being risky behavior to studying up on what the least we can do actually is.
I really do not understand this.

When ISN’T going somewhere “risky behavior”?
