As they have said, they are too old to merely exist through life for the rest of their days. Both have some form of underlying. Both are fairly active and healthy otherwise but they do have medical conditions.

What they told me was if they have to live like prisoners, being locked down, can't go here, can't go there, then at their age what is the point? Their fear I guess is by the time all this shit settles down and people are allowed to live their lives again they will be too old to live it the way they wanted.

Considering this primarily impacts the elderly I guess it's their opinion that matters over mine but it is what it is.
It is hard to argue against that. My parents were the same way and I am sure if we live to be old we will feel the same. Something is going to get us all. For me just don’t make it fire.

I know a nurse whose family had a party back in April when things were just getting rolling. 50 family members attended this party and of course they spread COVID to each other (many of them worked in healthcare!). 18 tested positive and 4 older family members died. It's a huge cultural thing for them.
Next time they'll stuff the piñata with masks and hand sanitizer.

Yeah, a lot has been made about demographic and geographic stratification of COVID especially now that death statistics seem to have uncoupled from tests, at least for the moment. But I think a lot of this has to do with cultural factors like you mention - they are more likely to live in larger, multi-generational households and they aren't as willing to avoid socialization. They aren't unlike Italians, I suppose.

There's also the fact that blacks and latinos are more likely to use public transit and work in jobs where transmission is much more common, but we shouldn't ignore the fact that some people are just a lot more likely to ignore the precautions than others because it's hard on them culturally to isolate themselves.

I guess making excuses is better than risking being called a racist.

Dogs are awesome, though.

But yeah. There's probably some truth to this.

Tempe bar Varsity Tavern under investigation for allegedly letting employees with COVID-19 keep working.

Among the alleged violations:
  • Multiple instances where management required or permitted employees who had tested positive to continue working
  • Management failed to take appropriate measures to notify the Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) or other agencies, employees, or customers that employees who had tested positive had worked while symptomatic
  • Management failed to create or enforce written policies in compliance with the executive order, CDC or ADHS guidelines
  • Management failed to enforce social distancing guidelines requiring masks or limiting groups to gather

The latter part of the article explains why this study is bogus. Yet you posted it anyway. This thread is not intended for your antics and are unwelcome.

No one says it's "bogus." You did. All these studies deserve skepticism. This is a fear propaganda thread though. Let's go protest, it's perfectly healthy.

There had to be 10-15 people at 630 am sitting in lawn chairs outside our express wellness. I saw two people running to the parking lot.

They offer rapid testing, only place in town. I believe the place opens at 8am.

I live in an 80% Hispanic neighborhood and we're always towards the top in positive cases in the city. Its fairly common to see 3, sometimes 4 generations of family either living in the same house or on the same block with regular gatherings. Add in divorced households and you have upwards of 20 people crossing paths at kid swap drop off times.

Also people point and laugh at white guy toxic masculinity but Hispanic males seem to be constantly maxing out their masculinity and mask wearing doesn't really fit into that, at least around here.
