No, far more but that's okay, you dont have the full picture of my and JLMs interactions on this subject.

Really? The same thing? Well f-ck, I sure hope so. When I say the same thing to JLM I'm being mean and an asshole when he says it's not true and he can hide from it and anyone who does get it is stupid and an idiot.

Am I being mean to be an asshole or mean because it's frustrating?

Does that help fill in the blanks?

According to this site my chances of contracting Covid 19 are low, which is a far cry from being a certainly. This site should clear it up for pretty well every one.

I've searched high and low and so far I've found nothing that says contracting it is inevitable. The closest thing I could find was it is FEARED to be inevitable (which is pretty much the same for any serious disease).


They say with diabetes if you live to be 150 you are pretty well certain to get it, but that is far from inevitable. :)

Somewhat. You seemed to insinuate that you had knowledge above what is commonly knows as far as minimizing risk goes.

I still don't get the anger, seems counter productive to any conversation. We are all adults after all, right?

It is without a vaccine. That is your only out. If there isn't one soon and you do get it, it won't be because you were stupid, an idiot, a moron or anyone else's fault. You did your best and tried and in doing so you still reduced your spreading it.

Masks, googles, gloves, isopropyl and distancing are to mitigate the spread until there is a vaccine not to try to stop it.

Get out and live your life.

And get a flu shot.

That is the assumption we all make -at our own peril ;-)

Coronavirus vaccines won’t be widely available until the middle of next year, CDC director predicts

If then. And even if they are the vaccines are likely to be about as effective as the current flu vaccines. probably 90% effective against this year's virus but under40% effective against the mutated one that will be around before the vaccine can be manufactured and distributed.
