What about wearing a seatbelt when driving through Temple on I-35?
Are those same non-seatbelt wearing drivers also given passes on having drivers insurance?
What about clothes in general? If I wanted to post up at the bar at Cheeve's Brothers completely naked would the local law enforcement be okay with me doing so?

All your doing is reciting how much personal freedom and liberty we have given to government and received precious little in return.
I don't smoke, but I think that if you want to then do it if the restaurant is ok with it. I am in favor of seat belts, but if you don't want to then fine. I just don't need the government to protect me from everything. Maybe you do.
Oh boy, you've missed the point entirely. Because some like yourself won't, we now unfortunately need the government to protect us from people like you.Carlos Safety said:BaylorBJM said:Is smoking inside restaurants in Bell County legal?Carlos Safety said:gobears20 said:

It's neither ludicrous nor grounded in fear. It's grounded in science. A good number of COVID spreaders have been pre-symptomatic, if not asymptomatic. Unless you're testing daily, you won't know you have it until you experience symptoms, and by then you could have already spread it to a bunch of people, who will then go and spread it to more people.Carlos Safety said:bear2be2 said:The government isn't protecting you in this case.

Not exactly. I am not sick and I am not contagious. Moreover, the government has no legitimate reason to believe I am sick or contagious.
What the government is saying is virtually all of us are sick or contagious. That is ludicrous and grounded in fear rather than reason. But that seems par for 2020 so far.

A simple courtesy with a very minor inconvenience attached seems like a small price to pay to keep those around you safe.

Let me make this simple. Asymptomatic spread is a fairy tale. And I don't need to be courteous to you. I don't even know you. Grow up. It is a virus. We can live with it like we live with other viral contagion.

I remember back in the 80s when A.I.D.S. became the story of the decade. Primarily, it was gay/bi-sexual men contracting the disease, then ended up being a problem for heterosexuals too.BaylorBJM said:Oh boy, you've missed the point entirely.

Wouldn't it make more sense to recommend/mandate the use of condoms? You know, a simple barrier that helps prevent the passing of disease from one person to the next?HashTag said:I remember back in the 80s when A.I.D.S. became the story of the decade.

When HIV first became known, maybe the gov't should've banned gay sex, shut down gay bars, ran raids on gay prostitution, gay porn, etc....? You know, to "flatten the curve"

Enjoy living with COVID the next two or three years, while every other country on the planet (except Brazil) gets on with life. Because selfish, undisciplined *****s have all but ensured that's our future.

I know it makes you feel better to think this, but your logic is fubar. If you think about it, you will probably be able to figure out why.

Or people could have been smart and worn a condom, similar to wearing a face mask. Not 100% guaranteed and doesnt feel great but can atleast help slow the spread.HashTag said:I remember back in the 80s when A.I.D.S. became the story of the decade.
