Also "seems like a dumb way" to make a problem (providing health care) a lot more difficult. Solving the challenges of Covid by reducing staffing makes no sense.

Nothing about any of this is funny to me. Saul Alinsky opined that "Ridicule is man's most potent weapon," and it seems to be a popular one here. I am not, will not, and have no desire to, fight(ing) anyone or ridicule anyone. Sharing statistics, articles, discoveries, views, and ideas seemed to be the point of the thread. If the point ot the thread is to continually affirm that Covid is real and dangerous, that would seem unnecessary because we all agree on that. If the point is to ridicule anyone not echoing the firmly held stances of the most vocal, frequently vulgar, and ridiculing posters, how is that helpful in any way?

I was trying to have a productive conversation, and in return read posts asserting thar that my life experiences are "BS" and that my perspective is twisted. Those are opinions, not facts....and opinions that lent nothing at all to a rational discussion. The statistics and life experiences I posted are facts.

We agree on a few things. The newest one we agree on is that my further involvement in this place is useless. It's too bad. Before a lot of true personal ugliness came out in this thread, we had a lot of laughs and even helped each other out a bit over the years.

All the best to everyone, regardless. May we all care for each other and live fruitful, productive lives with joys to lift us through the sorrows.
