ABATE Rally in Algona
- Thread starter NWICY
- Start date
If an infant hops in a car and drives to a beach to gave drinks with a bunch of other toddlers, then YEAH - that infant put himself/herself/itself at risk.
I keep forgetting there are so many people who have zero nuance and who think the exceptions ARE the whole story. Seriously my bad and I burned myself again and it was MY fault - nobody else's.
If you are an adult, who posts on this board, and you get the virus, it likely means you have put YOURSELF in the line of fire. Unless you think sick folks are out purposefully chasing down people to spit on them in their sleep or to infect you in the parking lot. Nursing homes are a tragedy and those folks have little chance, but if you are fully functioning adult and you get sick, you have put yourself in the line of fire.
If I should get sick, it means I didn't "catch" it from someone, it means I let my guard down and violated the basic health protocols espouse by all health professionals.
Sorry board, I'm still a personal responsibility / personal accountability guy.
There was absolutely zero mention of any nationality in my post. There are tons of workers from everywhere that got it. And I said they go to work and it spreads like wildfire... I’d say that would mean work environment.
lol....Uh don't be sorry, because you are not a "personal responsibility" guy at all. Try "right wing victim."
Ask the meatpacking workers who were forced to work so that we all had bacon. But hey, to you, they're just brown people that need to work so that we can eat.
Ask the teachers and parents about going to in-person school.
You need a wider perspective into the world.

Nuance? Your post was unmitigated garbage, and I mocked it with equivalent hyperbole.
Oh my God! Oh wait:
"A county judge later clarified that Nueces County did not have a sudden surge in infant cases, KIII reports. The number referred to those who have tested positive since mid-March."
Never mind. Just more Fake News propaganda.
Covid is less of a risk to school-age children than is the seasonal influenza. And barely more risk for adults under 60. If I worked in a packing plant, I'd go to work. Most of those who have tested positive had no symptoms.
The point remains the same whether it was in one day, one week, one month, or several months. Babies cannot "take themselves out of circulation", and thus were NOT responsible for their infection.
But golly gee, you got me with that YEAH BUT IT WAS OVER A LONGER PERIOD OF TIME. Well done.
an adult being forced to go into the office to work and can't quit or they go homeless?
a kid (in Iowa, ironically) forced to go to school and can't social distance?
a teacher in Iowa under similar situations as above?
you can't just label everyone in the same brush here.

High numbers of Immigrants work in packing plants because Locals won’t. That’s not a coincidence. Makes it easier for Companies to operate unsafe work environments with impunity. Work environment is an obvious concern.
Don't forget all other food manufacturing plants who continue to work so we can eat. And all other large manufacturing plants that supply the goods/machines we depend on. And all those large distribution centers that ship most of the goods we use everyday.
COVID hasn't been easy these on any of these businesses and their employees, but they continue to move forward.
Agree but all will not wear them unless mandated and even if they do it won’t contain 100% of the spread.
I’m well aware of who works in packing plants and well aware of the the work conditions. You are arguing with me for the exact same thing you are saying..work conditions. I just so happened to have also said where the fire starts from.
