Well first you claim that the "2 weeks doesn't have an end in sight", which completely ignores the vaccine rollout.
And 2nd, not only did you tell the poster they are acting privileged by making their own risk assessments, you told them their "incremental thinking for the past 4 months has been wrong once you review it objectively".
Considering your forecast for the # COVID deaths is going to wind up being wrong by over 100,000, maybe you should consider that what you view as "objective facts" are really "objective opinions" and trust that the poster in question can handle their own risk evaluation.
Even if we want to pretend like your mathematical analysis and projections are correct (which based on your sub-200k death toll projection, we have no reason to believe they are), to somehow act like you are qualified to determine what one Thanksgiving or one Christmas or one month is worth to someone when it comes to their risk tolerance is downright pompous.
I've got no issues with those taking it extremely safe this holiday season. I've got no issues with those taking things completely normal this holiday season. People can make their own risk assessments. It's ridiculous to tell someone they are wrong in those assessments.
My forecast, i'm assuming you have that handy to post since you have made that claim numerous times. Please share away. Also i will gladly contest that fewer than 200,000 people in the US have died DUE to covid. Quoting a bloated number doesn't make one right.
The bold is a flat faced lie or extremely poor reading comprehension. I called him privileged because of his ability to isolate himself without fear of income on land he privately owned. His line when read indicates that he thinks others should follow the same course. Perhaps he wrote his sentence poorly.
Well I 100% stand by the fact that the assessment of an event by looking at the next 2 weeks without historical and future analysis will generate the wrong conclusion.
The vaccine rollout. When is that exactly? Please be specific as to when the vaccine needs to be rolled out in order for you to justify the decision. Cone has already said he/she isn't returning to normal till Q3 2021.
It is ridiculous to expect someone posting on a message board should not be called to defend his/her posted position. It is almost like people don't understand what the word "discussion" in discussion forum means. If you wanted to just post your thoughts without feedback find the proper avenue but this isn't it. So stop keyboard warrioring.
