The 85% Nonsense

This thread was started as a political opinion. How it has stayed open amazes me.

Which sentence in the first post of the thread are you calling political?

At least it allowed me to see the cross posters in the presidential betting thread. Now I know for sure who is a partisan and why they write what they write.

People trying to downplay c-19 spread, disease and deaths and mocking personal protective equipment in a nutshell:

"I see people wearing winter coats and hats. What a bunch of sheep! LOL! I did my own research and found out that only 1500 people die from hypothermia in the US per year.
That's only 0.0005% of the population. They live in fear of something that 99.9995% of people won't die from.
It get's better, a lot of the people who died from hypothermia were wearing coats and hats, and they still died! Coats don't work!"

I wear a coat for comfort, not out of fear of hypothermia. Often I will not wear one if I am outside for just short hops. I sometimes keep one in my car for an emergency but do not wear one from house to car and car to store. Once at work a woman asked "where is your coat?!" I explained I park in an underground garage at work and a garage at home so I leave it in the car instead of having it at my desk at work.

Masks are not comfortable so I wear one only when I am absolutely forced to do so. If I worked in a high risk area like a hospital maybe I would see the need.

Jury Duty, Judges, and Law & Order will never be the same.
