Any idea ? Does Japan only test people VERY sick with covid symptoms... ? Would Japan have 10 times their published numbers with more common testing levels ? Think of the culture. Bow instead of handshake. When government says you don't do something, they don't do it. Japan is very steeped in a tradition of the community whole. People were wearing masks before Covid. It doesn't surprise me at all. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But those 150,000 will still be dying: old age, car accidents, guns, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post -DLC- Posted September 28, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted September 28, 2020 14 hours ago, bad alice french said: I wish... Covid fear spreading mongers on one side... people looking for answers and concerned about civil liberties on the other. Take a guess which side is the aggressor around here. Actually, we're taking the advice of Health and Viral specialists. That "fear mongers" deal applies on both sides of the coin because people "fearful" of a Government agenda are wary for their own reasons. People looking to protect civil liberties are awesome...I'm all in favour. As I am with people protecting others from dying. If you don't believe in COVID, please know that yours is only an opinion just like the rest of us. Some of us go searching for answers, some of us make use of the ones right in front of our noses. Like in knowing people who have had and died from COVID. In the numbers that are growing exponentially and are of concern. I'm tired of the "fear mongering" label that's actually weak in its application as an argument. Anyone NOT fearful of spreading a highly contagious novel corona virus that could potentially kill people or leave them with long term health issues is a little...suspect. 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally knowing someone who died from this, sending my kids off to an educational petri dish daily, seeing my business crater only to come here and have someone not even residing here essentially skiff it off with an air of superiority is infuriating. If people's feelings are hurt, I'm not even remotely sorry. This is serious. The scientists and experts agree to a near person it's serious. I'll give them far more heed than someone telling us otherwise on a hockey forum Sorry to hear about your loss, Hippy. I've been lucky as no one I know has perished due to the virus. I do have multiple family members in healthcare though, so I worry about them and my elderly parents quite a lot. My family in healthcare tell me of some harrowing situations they've witnessed, and I believe them. They have no reason to lie to me, and I have no reason not to trust them. I have three kids (one in elementary and two in secondary) who I'm also concerned about. I work from home, so I'm as lucky as one can get from that perspective, and I don't take it for granted. I hear the argument regarding civil liberties, and I ask myself, what liberty is really at stake? The freedom to not wear a mask? Is that really a serious detriment to personal freedom? Maybe not being able to see a concert or game? Is that really the sign of our freedoms being eroded? Were there a lot of people worried about their civil liberties during the Spanish Flu?

Were there a lot of people worried about their civil liberties during the Spanish Flu? I think because we have a relatively free society, there is always an element of the population that is convinced that there is too much government interference, regulation, involvement or however one wants to term it. They don't believe in vaccines, they believe that info being communicated is untrue, there isn't really a pandemic, if there is one, it's not as bad as we are told, people aren't really dying. There were similar beliefs during the Spanish flu from what I understand, just a lack of Social Media to spread their beliefs. I don't get it personally, without Public Health agencies and regulations, we'd all be dying from lead poisoning in our water and paint, disease in our salads, asbestos in our building materials, cancers from various toxins, and yeh, probably higher death rates from COVID just to name a few things that I'm grateful for government regulation to help control. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People were locked down in the winter/spring. And in some countries that has started again This was done without consent and done without any proper debate or discussion. This is what the deeper liberty at stake issue is and has been raised by some very well respected figures. And the fact that the OP thinks there is scientific agreement about the seriousness of the virus tells you another thing about 'openness' in our society.
