I don’t disagree with you in that People are generally stupid. And above all, criminally selfish. But I think it will vary on a lot of things- including the impact locally and the culture.
my point still stands that using the CL match at Anfield on March 12th as an example of anything is stupid. Same with ultras standing outside stadiums in France in early March.
rvery country, state or locality that seems to thumb their nose at this gets burned incredibly bad. We’ll see how it works out.
I think 'burned incredibly bad' is an overstatement and really depends on your perspective. Many would argue the lockdown itself is affecting way more people and causing many more issues for people, and for a long time to come. There have been roughly 160,000 COVID-19 related deaths and we have a population of about 7.6 billion. You're looking at something like 0.002% of the population that have died, and again, most of those are of a demographic where people can rationalize as to why it would happen. There are way bigger issues in the world, and that have affected and will continue to affect the world, that have been around for a very long time.
You guys talk about selfishness a lot but there's so much more to this than just calling one group or another selfish because they believe different things.
What you are clearly having a hard time understanding is that the small(er) percentage of people affected by the virus is precisely BECAUSE of the stay at home mitigation practices in place. If you want to see cases skyrocket and frontline medical workers besieged and the greater populace die at even greater rates, by all means ease the measures.
The "personal freedoms" stuff is just right-wing talk radio garbage that I don't particularly have interest in engaging in. Just pure selfishness, as ECB pointed out.
I have a hard time understanding something because the concepts of general society are over your head? What you don't get, and are clearly incapable of doing, is that I'm having an objective conversation not related to my own personal opinion or actions. I know people affected on both sides of the issue and can see why people feel the way they do on both sides. The close mindedness on your part is not overly surprising and is shockingly common in supposed "leftist" approaches. This isn't a black and white situation as there are far reaching impacts regardless of the course of action.
