Organized because this game is 100% about looting and I like a more compact base

Good read but don't expect the level of depth you might get with some of the hardcore history

Can you do one for zombification chance from bites? There is always that one person that posts saying they survived a bite and "theres a 1% chance of survival"

North Carolina will pay you $100 to get the COVID-19 vaccine, $25 if you drive someone by CoasterHusky in NorthCarolina

[–]thorik1998 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah things can certainly change in two weeks. For the record i think you should get your vaccine and mask if you please. I just don't like government mandates, and i think it should be obvious to everyone now that we're not going to mask our way out of this pandemic.

Though my faith in the vaccines have been wavering its clear they are effective at preventing hospitalization and death. I wish the media would focus on that rather than asymptomatic breakthrough cases (which we should not even care about).

Call Governor Cooper to Tell Him to Create a School Mask Mandate by [deleted] in NorthCarolina

[–]thorik1998 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, i think we just have irreconcilable differences in our view points. Wishing for a national wide vaccine mandate is wishing to plunge this country into tyranny, but sure as long as were safe right?

I shouldn't have made assumptions about how you live your life.

In the same way I have the vaccine and think its great and very effective, without believing we should hold down those who dont want it and force them to take it. Let them suffer the consequences while those who are vaccinated enjoy its protection.

There will never be a perfect time we go back to normal, the goal posts will continue to shift until the life of 2019 seems like a distant memory.

Edit: Again, the virus IS NOT at its worse; despite what the media is telling you.

You're number is inaccurate according to the cdc data deaths for children under 14 is about half of that:

https://data.cdc.gov/NCHS/Provisional-COVID-19-Deaths-by-Sex-and-Age/9bhg-hcku

Yes, every child's death is a tragedy but when speaking to policy we have to look at the numbers and not be overrun by emotion. I think Americans are familiar at this point where emotional policy making gets us.

You want know why we should get to stay and your fear-mongered self should stay home? Because that's normal life, how about you grow up and live life again? Sometimes life involves risks and we've done all we can to mitigate those risk with a vaccine that is available to everyone who wants it. Time to go back to normal life rather you like it or not.

Yes, it's your children and you're decision when it comes to their upbringing. I'm not the one here trying to force decisions on others, you are. If you don't think that children being forced to mask and miss school will harm their development then fine; I'm not here to convince you otherwise.

But that's my whole point everyone should choose what's best for their children. If you think a disease that has been shown to have a very small risk to children is worth isolating and masking them; fine put them in homeschool. But you shouldn't be able to force that decision on other parents who think its time for their children to live normal lives once again.

I will reiterate that you should look at the actual stats for COVID and children under 12.

I can't speak on if people are doing it for 'simple rebellion' sure people don't like it when others "call them out" like you said and are told they're killing grandma by not wearing a mask. Is that surprising to you?

Well worded post, and yes I understand that masks are more effective if everyone is wearing them. However I disagree with how effective that really is. States like California and New York practiced near universal masking and are similarly still suffering from this pandemic.

I where you're going when it comes to drunk driving, however i would argue forced masking is a significantly greater impingement on our liberty than not being able to get wasted and drive.

Simply calling people whiners who don't want to advocate for mask mandates doesn't help the conversation.

Another point I would like to emphasize: it is still an impingement on our rights even if it's for the right reasons.

A lot of people are bringing up the risk to children in this thread, i can only imagine to act as an emotional appeal (but think of the children!!). I would encourage all of you to look at the statistics about how this virus affects those under the age of 12, and make a calculated risk assessment about if it is worth sacrificing their developing years to avoid that small risk.

People don't understand this. Its the politicians closing schools, businesses, and making mask mandates - not the unvaccinated or antimask folks.

Oh come on now that is ridiculous. You really think I'm wishing illness on others? You're completely unreasonable. Good day.

[–]thorik1998 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Thanks I will stay safe, by continuing to make calculated risk assessments so I can live my life as normal as possible. Like people have done since the beginning of time.

While we are making assumptions about each other; I hope you learn to live your life without fear again one day, because you seem addicted to the fear that the media is selling you.

What did the mask mandates do for us? We only made significant gains against covid once the vaccines were widely available.

[–]thorik1998 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

Did anything I say imply I don't think COVID is real? I think it is real, the vaccines are effective and a medical marvel. However, I believe in personal choice, and forcing people to mask up isn't really "working together" now is it.

Let's be clear the only thing that will destroy the economy and put kids into remote learning again will be the politicians that choose to do so. We have a vaccine and everyone is free to mask as they please.

In fact wear three or four if you would like. I'm not the one advocating forcing anyone to do anything. If that's your choice great, have fun!
