Platinum Contributing Member Highmark Posted October 22, 2020 Platinum Contributing Member Share Posted October 22, 2020 (edited) I'm still waiting patiently for the WHO, CDC, Fauci and the administration (yes Trump too) to come out and talk about making or keeping yourself as healthy as possible thru diet, exercise and getting the proper vitamin intake thru whatever to help fight off ALL INFECTIONS much less heart disease and anything else that can be lifestyle related. The problem in America is you can't do that because hardly anyone wants to look in the mirror and say something might be part or mostly their own fault. Being a pretty bad asthmatic until my early 30's I was concerned early on. Completely changed my lifestyle, starting working out and lost some weight and got my blood pressure down significantly. Now I'm in the best shape I've been in over a decade and have little concern if I get COVID. I think in most cases the idea of never letting a crisis go to waste is political propaganda.....it wouldn't have been with this for people taking their own health serious thru their OWN ACTIONS. Its likely because of restrictions in lifestyle we are more unhealthy as a country right now than we were when it started.

Matt Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 This is why the Asian countries are kicking COVID-19 so easily and can't figure out why we can't do the same. Asian mentality: how can I best take care of the things I control to help myself and society succeed? Western mentality: fuck you. I'm thick but healthy. It's not my problem to solve. When's the president gonna make the virus go away? 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cold War Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 Our Governor went after health care workers. Putting the blame on their racism and shotty care. Enacted a executive order that they must complete racial sensitivity training. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spin_dry Posted October 22, 2020 Share Posted October 22, 2020 All one has to do is look at the lifestyle and attitudinal habits of trump to see what America is all about and why the infection rate is higher here than anywhere else. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When's the president gonna make the virus go away? It’s a double edged sword. Something that makes america so cool is we’re rebels. Highly individualistic. The “don’t tell me how to live” attitude is strong. Asian countries are more Borglike. The “collective” approach. They follow the rules. Both societies have their plus and minuses. Even with all America’s faults, it’s messy and fucked up.....I like it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That drunk of a Winston Churchill said it best. Americans will always do the right thing, only after they have tried everything else. I don’t think truer words have ever been used to describe America’s decision making on either domestic or international matters.

Trump and many of his followers simply aren’t. They don’t give a shit how their behavior effects others. Just look at the amount of trump’s circle that were knocked out of action because of the spread of covid and the attitude of “who cares”. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knocked out of action lmfao sort of like the loving caring hand of pole line oh i don't know the goveners of MN NY CA Pensilvania NJ those sort of caring people who are just looking out for the best interest of the people around them . Or the people like nancy who encouraged people not to be afraid of the virus and come down to china town dont be a zinaphobe.
