Your being downvoted... but if we were actually worried about everyone's health, we'd shut down all fast food and ban sugary sodas. Health only matters when it doesn't affect the $$$ flow of the rich.

They're being downvoted because it's not a good comparison that's relevant to this topic, it's a distraction and a tired, oft repeated one to boot. Poor diet is not a communicable airborne disease.

Everyone here is getting their panties in a bunch about protecting people from covid when i could die just as easily from the flu. Nobody is making a case about wearing a mask because of the flu though, its about covid. Why are you guys trying to force this.

I don't think you, or anyone regardless of perceived health, should die to flu either. Again, why do you want a society in which your life has no value?
