(sarcasm) The virus doesn’t make SJW unmasked protesters for systemic racism sick because they are fighting for a noble cause. (/sarcasm)
 
Sounds like mask-free people are the new victim culture. What a lot of belly-aching! 😒

You can have mine. It’s free. I only have one because I want to go to Mass and I will not be let in without one…and worshipping Our Almighty is more important.
 
There’s A Lot of bad behavior on both sides.

Case in point, my mother and other shoppers were yelled at and intimidated by a man at the local drug store for not wearing masks. My mom forgot her’s and was purchasing more masks. Likewise, I’ve seen reports of anti-mask people freaking out over seeing someone wearing one.

This Has To Stop
 
That car comparison Mike Rowe offers is flawed, in my opinion, probably for several reasons. One involves the notion of permanence. In the car example, we are keeping our car in the garage PERMANENTLY. That would be impossible on a practical level. In the case of the virus, however, no medical expert is suggesting that we have to shut down the economy or isolate ourselves permanently, but only for a few months. This is exactly what we have done in New York City, and we have, so far, reaped the benefits of our TEMPORARY, precautionary approach. The virus has subsided because of the enforced closing down of the economy and stay-at-home policy. But now we are in Phase 4 of the reopening of the economy. We are still not up to indoor dining, bars, and fully in-person schools, but WE ARE GETTING THERE, only because of effective leadership on the part of our governor and mayor and compliance on the part of citizens. Meanwhile, our leaders are carefully monitoring our progress, including possible outbreaks, so that we do not backslide. One of the problems with much of the rest of the country is that their leaders did not heed the advice of the medical experts and instead opened up too soon or did not close in the first place. Of course, if we had an effective national policy at the outset, we might have avoided the outbreaks that we now see in several states.

PAZIENZA, my fellow citizens, PAZIENZA. That is the key to saving lives and reopening the economy.

And those who live life recklessly will no doubt have a needlessly short and less productive one while endangering and shortening the quantity and quality of the lives of others.
 
The moment someone calls me a sinner, a murderer or grandma killer, they have lost any and all respect. And yes I have been called that here…by Catholics… several times.
 
Yes, I’ve seen that uncharitable behavior quite a bit lately. It’s neither appropriate or helpful.
 
If I wasnt so sure I’d think you just might be Arnold. I’ve seen every one of your movies… yes including Twins, but Predator is the BEST.
 
Yes. Very true. Fear of life is no way to live. Its confining and constricting and depressing. Our lives here on earth are to serve God but this life is short and temporary and our true home is in Heaven with Our Creator. Fear not my friend.
 
But a longer life, if well lived, means more and better serving of Gd, helping others, gaining knowledge and wisdom, and having the time to make the world a better place. As Judaism teaches, we will not be able to worship Gd in heaven (or elsewhere).

Therefore, is earthly life not precious to you from the moment of conception until natural death?
