Try telling that to a parent who has lost a child, or had one get extremely sick, due to covid. Or to the young man who got covid at a concert in Florida, who, though perfectly healthy, came down with severe covid, which destroyed his lungs, so that he had to get a double lung transplant last June. It was in the AJC newspaper several times last year what happened to this poor young man. When he got covid, his age group was not yet eligible for the vaccine.You mean we don't need a fauxccine and 5 boosters, masks, lockdowns and social distancing for a disease with a 99% recovery rate!!!????? Whaaaaaaaaaaaat?????
One percent death rate sounds miniscule--until it happens to one of our loved ones. One percent death of roughly 60 million who have been infected with covid in this country is 600,000 deaths--not exactly miniscule amount, is it?
There is nothing wrong with wearing good masks properly, and social distancing, to help prevent catching and spreading covid. Such things hurt no one. We still go to church, but sit at the back, by ourselves, while still wearing our N95 masks, except removing them temporarily, to receive Holy Communion. Our minister always wears a mask and disposable gloves, when he distributes the Elements, and changes gloves in-between families while he does so. The elder who assists him also wears a mask when doing so. Have they been brainwashed? Did "Satan win" because they wore masks and the pastor also gloves, during Communion? (A rightist on here months ago once stated that if we wear a mask, it means that "Satan won"--on of the most...preposterous things I have ever read on here.)
As Christians, we are to love our neighbor as ourselves, and focusing only on our individual liberties during this pandemic while ignoring the welfare of others is, in my opinion, selfish and unchristian.
