As many have already pointed out, this is a terrible argument for a number of reasons.
- Access to a vehicle is already heavily regulated, requires licensing and numerous measures in place specifically because it is dangerous
- These are annual numbers. So 1 million deaths in a year vs 200,000 deaths in 4 months with COVID. The bulk of which has been in the last 3 weeks. How do you think those numbers will look at the end of the year?
- Road accidents are not contagious. Things like drunk driving that do put others in danger are criminal offenses.
I mean come on, you have to know by now that a lot of people have made this dumb argument already and it's been destroyed over and over. It's the same stupid talking points from Fox News.
The way you are downplaying this thing is supported by nobody credible. The best you got is Alex Berenson on Twitter who's credentials include writing some shitty spy fiction and a book that says if you smoke weed you go to hell.
The virus has been around for 2 months here, you expect us to redevelop our entire elder care network and build a bunch of new buildings for them (during a pandemic) in that time? That's your idea?
Nobody is saying stay indoors forever. But there is nothing about the current situation that says now is the time to start relaxing measures. We have substandard testing capacity and steadily growing infections as it is. You think now is a good time to start removing mitigation measures?
If you're so eager to get it, and you really think it's nothing to worry about, why don't you go get it right now? Go to St-Henri, check out the parks on St-Antoine near the big fountain. They are full of homeless people coughing their lungs out right now, you can pass by and give them a hug.
I actually got something in january, felt i was going to die i had 40 degrees for 2 days, i took some advil then i started feeling a bit better but it still took me about a week to get back to a semi working condition and i own my business so i dont have any pressure from a boss, still took me another week to feel 80%.
I'm pretty sure i already got it, i had all the major symptoms. But maybe not who knows?
From all the research that i have done online a good health is key againts any kind of diseases. Viruses that are man made don't survive long in nature because nature tends to reject them.
When the whole world shuts down it's your responsability to question what is happening and try to see the bigure picture.
As for credible people, i mean that is entirely subjective to your perception. I don't think any one is credible, i have to see it for my self to be 100% sure. However there's tons of doctors and researchers who are saying this virus doesn't justify lockdowns.
No1 that comes in to my mind is John Ioannidis
John P.A. Ioannidis' Profile | Stanford Profiles this guy has all the pedigree you need to qualify him as credible, in fact alot more credible than most you hear on the media.
In sum, his saying Covid-19 is not deadlier than normal influenza and we should be optimistic not in fear.
And finally my only beef with you is that you think its ok to rat on people and call the police. That just shows how small you are.
