    Under Joe Biden kids won't get sick at school
    Fun fact: During SpanFlu, NYC Public Schools deliberately chose to remain open, with reasonable precautions, because they predicted it would be in the best interest of the children.

    Negated: The Wilson presidency has been cancelled. Nothing of note happened between 1913 and 1921.

    Can you imagine in 1843 being a couple of recently married 18 year olds setting out from Missouri for the Pacific Northwest via wagon train to establish a new life being confronted by the question if going to school in the fall of 2020 was too risky? Our society is morally shot. Stupid and frightened by our own shadow.

    The irony is that those people probably died of a pandemic that wasn't treatable or for which there was no vaccine so they couldn't be confronted with that question anyway.
    And then as a society we were stronger because the weak sick losers died. Only in modern society is natural selection no longer a thing. We are worse off for it. We, collectively, are the products of the ones that could outrun the others before the sabre tooth tigers got them. When you go to WalMart and see all the fat asses, blame a lack of tigers and natural selection.
    Fair points and probably true, but you know ideas like Darwinism and herd immunity to this aren't going to play with a considerably large group of people since they think there are measures we can take now to prevent it that don't involve killing people off or intentionally letting it spread. Whether those ideas are tenable while keeping the economy afloat is another issue.
    Fair point as well. I know this is blasphemy now, but I do not mind some death. If the bodies were really stacked like cordwood full on Bubonic Plague shit then yeah, let's shut it down. But this is a glorified flu. Sometimes people just have to die. Been going on for thousands of years. Likely to continue.
    ^^This^^. I've been on the cold and calculated side of the argument for some time. The "one life" argument gives me the triggers. "The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one." Wrath of Kahn bitches! Spocks words to a young Knowledge sunk deeper than I thought they did.

    Frankly, I've always thought we're outcompeting each other too frequently for resources. How do you think the salmon population survives? It's not by wearing masks across their gills or social distancing while swimming upstream.

    This is a really interesting comment to me as my family had some horrible run in with the WL police. They were corrupt and probably still are.

    West Linn, for some reason in the last couple of decades has had a corrupt chief financial officer who stole hundreds of thousands, an incompetent city staff and an incompetent and corrupt police department. It's run like a banana republic city.

    But they held the line on no tennis. So, give them credit for the big things.

    Sounds like most Democrat-run large cities.
