If you really want people to believe your fake Covid story, maybe don’t post such an insanely false thing like this...

I didn't really understand his judgment call. Apparently he's didn't take the vaccine AND he's hiding away from the virus. I don't agree with Duffman's choice either but at least I guess he's getting satisfaction of "living his life" out of it.


No more "hiding" than I did before other than working from home. I never liked crowds much so if I hit the casino I did so earlier in the day for example. I have not been to a concert or sports game for years. Well, only been to 1 concert anyhow, because......I hate crowds.

Getting "life satisfaction" as I did before. What I am getting is an education in how fear will make people do all kinds of things they said they will not do. And how pols use fear to take power. My fear remains not of the virus, but the reaction of people to the virus.

Desantis and big bad govt says no
Trumpers now support a government bigfooting on local policies

Even better, the people of the community have the option whether to wear masks or not.
At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a deterrent.

An awesome thing. Those that want masks are free to wear them. The rest not burdened by it.

If desantis doesn’t say parents have the right to let their kids refuse to obey school dress codes, he’s just a hypocrite.

That is fair, many employers charge an extra deduction for employees who smoke to cover the health care costs.

I don't see this as being different.

Quite different. Smoking is an active decision with known health risks for decades. The vax is new and unproven.
