Good thing that the chance of being killed by covid infected people breathing the same air as me is very very low.

Specifically: no lockdown. Why it has better outcome? From the data we know that for vast majority of people who get infected it will be either asymptomatic or only have mild symptoms and the serious case/death is skewed towards the el

You posted link about ambulance delays. This is issue is not caused by covid, because it happened as well in the past where there was not covid. By implementing lockdown, now you have 2 issue : Ambulance delay and the damage from lockdown.

Same story happen in 2016,2017,2018,2019. This just show that the system need to be better managed, not lockdown. Lockdown is just cop out and not only it doesn't help it creates tons of additional problem.

As if grandma even want to be in isolation in the first place. My grandma would rather took the small risk of dying of covid to go outside, socialize with their friends and family.

Why would I want a measure that is more damaging than the virus ?

Except they are not, vast majority of people infected with covid do not require hospitalization. If the hospital can't handle this virus then the health care system must be really bad in the first place. The solution is to fix and impr

I think more accurate to say the fiduciary duty is to make money as much as possible. At least that I would want the my company to do.

Simply, union interest is not the same as company interest. Its maybe good for the employee but not good for the company. One example of negative things of an union: It makes harder for company to fire people. Look at teachers union right n

Not just clear and convincing cases, the threat must also be sufficiently dangerous. In regards of covid, the virus is far from dangerous. e.g someone with positive test case is not sufficiently harmfull.

I have no problem, let them pay more and subsidize for the rest of the people. At least for covid, the risk is low enough to not matter. I would happily be the last line to get one. Besides I'm not sure supply constraint would be a big
