Of course people are afraid.
The MSM, Politicians and Public Health Officers (non-elected bureaucrats) scared everyone spitless.
The chances of dying from COVID-19 are 2 in 10,000. Higher for the elderly, lower for those under 60.
The amount of "FEAR" that people are still showing is "IRRATIONAL" at this point.

By the way, Trump has shown good leadership throughout this crisis.
Anyone who believes that he hasn't, has been hornswoggled by the Media.

Mandatory, as in you can't work or even go outside without proof of being vaccinated....

"VERE R UR PAPERS!?!?!?"

F that
Try enrolling your child in school without proof of inoculation.

If I were a restaurant owner I wouldn’t hire without proof.

Without proof I wouldn’t eat in one either.

Not talking about children in school. That's a different story.

What, you don't think I would vaccinate my children? LMAO You guys are whack.

Talking about adults.

You know...like the flu vaccine. Encouraged, but optional.

Flu vaccine?

At best, the yearly vaccine has an efficacy rate less than 50%.

I don’t think that’s what the world expects.

And no, I didn’t think you wouldn’t vaccinate your children.

Good luck with that.

I have a hunch that there won't be many restaurants that you'll be able to eat in for a long while yet.

I don’t NEED to eat in restaurants.

Palm Springs opened up last weekend. Restaurants are required to practice distancing, waitstaff wearing masks, disposable cutlery, paper plates, etc.

I’ll eat at home, thanks.

Stay at home, then. No sweat. You people that think living under your beds and never getting out is best for you, all the power to you

I have one life, don't want to spend it in fear. I'm out every day, have been since this started

No it is called "rational caution."

See Tiger Woods, Phill Mickleson, Tom Brady, and Payton Manning on the golf course together without masks? Watch Tom Brady and his receivers playing catch without masks?


Massachusetts golf courses open and doing a brisk business. Churches had to threaten the Guv with a lawsuit before he'd allow them to finally open. Supermarkets have been open for business as well as liquor stores, pot shops, pharmacies, and department stores.



But the rest of us are expected to remain under virtual house arrest. Really just a big pile of bullshit.

Walt Disney World Resort executives will submit a proposal tomorrow, May 27, to the Orange County Economic Recovery Task Force in Florida for a phased reopening of the resort's theme parks.
