We learned? No, you were told. News about the virus changes daily/weekly. Young children weren’t being infected by the early strain(s). But they were still asymptomatic and carry the virus infecting teachers, and bringing the virus home with them to their parents and grandparents. Know what your talking about before writing.

The new GH strain going around is infecting children and young adults now.

You are simply peddling fear. You want to lock everyone up based on what you fear not what you know and many will want to join you.

Others of us would prefer a more measured approach that takes into account the health and economic costs of a lockdown and compared it realistically to what we know of the risks.

You, however, are free to isolate yourself indefinitely if you want to live that way. You can also, by the way, keep you kids and their grandparents separated, even though there is no evidence that children are infecting others.

I’ve never heard this. Not only is it wrong, I don’t see that Governor Waltz is to blame.

How? Don’t talk for me! I’m telling it like it is. While I’m immune suppressed, I’m not scared of dying. But I’m trying to do what’s right for me and others. Do you even wear a mask when out in public?

The ONLY reason Minnesota is where it is compared to the rest of the states is because of Governor Waltz. Thank god he’s a Democrat looking out for us, and not listening to Trump and others opening up and doing things too quickly. Otherwise, we’d be like California, Florida, Texas and Arizona. They opened up THE WRONG WAY.

Why thank you. And I will, but I’m not going to turn my back on the obvious.

Look, if you are immune suppressed, then you need to take precautions. I certainly would never minimize the risk to you, just like I would never minimize the risk to the elderly and ill members of my family, but not everyone needs to take those same precautions, and by insisting that everyone behave in the exact same way, no matter where they live or what their own situation, you are simply undermining the seriousness of the entire issue.

Good luck to you but please let the rest of us out of it.

What is with the accusations with you? ‘Insisting’? Where did I even say that people should do what I’m doing? And what is it that I’m doing? Save the imaginary rhetoric and accusations. Everyone has to do what they think is best. Hopefully they have half a brain.

You don’t understand the seriousness of the dangers from this virus.
