What's the shame in it? Maybe it's time people got familiar with and enjoy their own "back yard" before flitting around the planet, creating more pollution.
Prog shit.

Re: COVIDD-19 'Pandemic'

I saw a report that estimated that 15% of the population of New York state had antibodies for COVID, meaning the actual mortality rate is much lower. It's estimated that 2/3 of the population will need to acquire antibodies to COVID to achieve herd mentality.


Herd immunity would probably be good for hoof and mouth disease. :)

I think you meant "herd immunity." Sense and reason knows they already got herd mentality down pat.

Personally I love to travel. Tourism is also a good revenue generator for wherever you are living. It is also a necessity. I have a daughter and grand daughters in OH. My mother-in-law is in OH. My dad is in SK and my sister is in AB. And I live in Toronto. Hard to not have to travel if one wants to visit. The days where everybody works and lives in their parent's home town has been over for some time.

Maybe but it's their own decision. Except for a very few occasions, my Dad never got much more than 60 miles away from home in his entire life.
