Where was Bruce? Maybe there was a “No Shorts” policy? As for Covid: this is a deadly medical emergency. It’s not about your rights or my rights and there will be NO economy if everyone is dead or in the hospital. This is not a joke. And talking about how states under lockdown are still seeing cases rise is a non-point because folks are not adhering to mask wearing or any other guidelines designed for their own good. People wear a mask to Trader Joe’s, sure, but they still gather with friends etc etc. Sometimes the most free people in the world are the absolute worst at freedom. Sometimes the most free people give up there freedom a bit too easily. I don't trust a guys like Cuomo with anything. He killed 11,000 people plus and wrote a book about it. Didn't he get an Emmy?

1% of the population still translates into a whole lot of people who’d rather be alive.

Did you read the part about people being social creatures? About the 99% who because they are social creatures are willing to risk that less than 1% chance of it killing them? I know millions of people who went to war for their countries and risked being or who were killed, but at 18 years old probably figured they would survive it. It's that human kind of social thinking. Besides, at Mara-Lago or whatever it is called, I'm betting that most there have already fought their battle with the virus. Why would anyone 18 assume they’d survive a fucking war because of their age? Wasn’t it mostly guys around that age getting killed? This is what I’m talking about: all the mental gymnastics to deny a simple medical emergency that has zero to do with anything other than its own deadliness. Sure most of the idiots at Mar-A-Lago might have already gotten over Covid, but they’re rich people with resources to better care than so much of the country that doesn’t even have health insurance. And what about all the other people they might have infected? The staff and the house cleaners etc etc? Because 18 year old's think they can survive most anything.

Which has no bearing on if they do or not. I’m sure most drunk drivers assume they’ll get away with it too.

Folks, I am getting out of this quagmire. My beliefs are different than many here and that is great. I am glad that we could have a difference of thought and peacefully discuss it here. Like most of you, I follow the rules and try to keep myself and others safe. It doesn’t mean that I agree with it, and after 9 months I haven’t seen any real results from all of the rules, but I will abide by them.
Anyway, everyone stay safe out there.

Not to try and shit stir this thread back to life, but Teri Nunn of Berlin, who performed solo at the event, just released an apology statement.
