Nice attempt at turning this around. You entire argument is that we need to stay put to protect the vulnerable like yourself. Have you changed your mind? If you have nothing to be afraid of, then why do you care if people mingle in public and get this over with sooner rather than later? It's only going to last a long time if everyone is scared like you. Fortunately they're not.

It is not just a matter of protecting the vulnerable we are all vulnerable you to. Why would I change my mind, I'm siding with the medical professionals and the scientists, I'm not a climate denier either. I care because I don't want to see others die for no good reason. I don't think many would die just to go out and karaoke for an evening. Let's take your argument and see what will happen. Sweden did not lock down or change anything, they have had 23,000 infections, have not achieved herd immunity, and have had 2700 deaths due to the virus. That is better than 10%, they have a public health option which we don't, they have paid sick leave which most of us don't have, they publicly support families, which we don't. So when you say people are scared they have a good reason to be. At least 78% of those surveyed said they would not be going out to gyms, movie houses, riding on planes, taking trips, or going to bars and restaurants, the venues who hire karaoke hosts. No crowds, no profits, no reason to go back to work, and put yourself at risk. Are you really willing to put at risk 10% of the population or more just for karaoke?

If they all are out at karaoke by their own choice, I say a very loud YES! That's what we call freedom. The freedom to risk death is a God given right and shame on you for even thinking we should be forced to be wimps. I don't force you to grow a pair, so stop trying to force me to not use the pair I was given. Not really fair. Plus it's covered under that whole "pursuit of happiness" thing in our constitution.

You're just jealous of all those people who actually have a pair. Sitting home alone sucks a thousand times worse when you know people are out having fun. Is this how your senior prom went? Were you too scared to go so you sat home feeling sorry for yourself? Did your parents convince you that there was a risk of death due to drinking and driving, so instead of being safe in logical ways, you just decided to give up on the whole idea? Am I close?

There is a limit to individual freedom, your have rights that is true, your also have responsibilities as a citizen. Your freedom ends where your actions endanger the public good. You have freedom of speech, but you can't scream fire in a crowded theater, you have the right to run a business, but you can't cause a public health menace doing it, you can run a factory but you can't pollute the local water supply. So with any power comes great responsibility. Just because you have a pair doesn't mean you should be thinking with your pants Bob. It is time to use the head, and listen to the experts. This whole discussion as far as going back to work for many KJ's is moot. Bars and restaurants will be the last to open up, and the full effects of going back to semi normal will not be known until June First, not that far away. Then you can see in real time if it was too soon to go back, just have a little patience.
