Why do so many people not take Covid seriously? (Page 2)

[Roguehoneylife]

People believe what they want to but media propaganda doesn’t help either

[SaraSmithishere]

I live in Los Angeles, and everyone here takes it seriously. I even know a professional surfer who got it before we had the vaccine available and, at 34, he had to have a double lung transplant!

[Redstang88]

Because I’m far more likely to die at work. There certainly are people that should take it seriously, and more power to ‘em if they choose to. But leave me out of it

[grega239]

I don't know. Why do politicians impose various restrictions, lockdowns even mandatory jabs and then throw parties , completely disregarding the rules they imposed on us.

It is a joke, just not a funny one

[Twalli]

They hear that the survival rate is so high that they feel that they probably won't die from it. The thing is that even the 1919 flu pandemic had a high survival rate and it killed more than World War I did. And that's just the reported numbers.

[BillboBaggher]

Life is gunna kill us all

[Twalli]

@BillboBaggher yes, but not immediately. Those that aren't on roads won't die in automobile accidents. Those that don't get on airplanes don't die in airplane crashes. There are ways to avoid types of death and for COVID-19 the vaccine is a pretty good way to avoid death from it.

[acooke-13]

No idea, people are stupid and it's no wonder there's a pandemic

[Baredog69]

There is a pandemic because folks like Dr fauci are responsible for approving funds for gain of function research in Wuhan. Dr fauci should be in prison not the highest paid bureaucrat in the US government. The numbers are so skewed from bad data. Article from Healthline 12/26/2021Rapid tests, also called point-of-care tests, can be performed at:

home with a home COVID-19 test
a doctor’s office
pharmacies
school clinics
long-term care facilities
airports
drive-through testing sites
During the test, you or a medical professional will insert a cotton swab into your nose, throat, or both to collect mucus and cells. Your sample is then usually applied to a strip that changes color if you test positive for COVID-19.

Although these tests provide quick results, they aren’t as accurate as laboratory tests because they require more of the virus in your sample to report a positive result. Rapid tests come with a high risk of giving a false negative result.

A false negative means the test shows you don’t have COVID-19 when you do actually have it. PCR test which are the most accurate test also have a relatively large percentage of false positive and negative results. Meaning again for the third time I have typed this the number of deaths from covid is grossly over inflated because of the way they gathered the data. The number of cases is grossly misleading because of the inaccuracy of the testing materials. Florida right now is the lowest number of new cases of covid-19 and has a zero restrictions zero mandates for anyone. A fact is the states with the most mandates and restrictions have the highest number of new cases. People take a hint it should not take a hammer over your head to understand that you're doing yourself an injustice by following these stupid mandates. Free yourself from the tyranny and free yourself from the fear go to a state with less mandates and be healthier. by the way yes I've had covid and yes I've had colds that were way worse in my past.

[genericname85]

because the vast majority of people just have mild flu symptoms if any.

diseases kill people. that sucks. though this isn't new since covid...

[exitseven]

There is so much conflicting policies and a lot of them don't make sense so people just ignore the whole thing.

[Waldoe]

because the mortality rate is close to ZERO... the Spanish flu killed more people in a month than Covid has in 2 years... it's all a scam to control the population

[Better_off_here]

well we live in a world where many seem to think that the media is wrong and the that the media is trying to control us with rules and lies it is just utter crap. we mainly call these people republicans.

[slatyb]

They are sticking it to the libs by getting sick and dying.

[TylerDurden83]

It's interesting that all the females think it's dangerous and advocate masks, lockdowns, fear fear fear, etc. While all the males are posting proper statistics with logical arguments against the fear. Lol

[KostasKouvalis]

Because 1% lost their loved ones from it, and 99% DIDN'T

[Ms_Vanderquack]

Because people are idiots, why is this even a question?

[legalboxers]

*watches*

[Raven2004]

Honestly this is the best comment here

[legalboxers]

@Raven2004 you know the Trump / Fox News / OAN / NewsMax Trolls are probably jacking off right now and foaming at the mouth with this...

[Raven2004]

😹😹

[legalboxers]

To the 1 person who disagrees, did you like the deep throat from Hannity or Tucker? you MFer!

[Iron_Man]

I got COVID-19 last Tuesday I took it very seriously

[captain_voidwalker]

Not as contagious since mosquitoes are the primary vector of transmission but far deadlier it killed about 1 in 150 who got it. To giver perspective covid kills about 1 in 10000 who get it

[HappyCur]

People have politicized basic safety measures and so they avoid anything that makes them feel weak or the opposing political party.

[Vegasrunner]

Because it has had zero impact on their lives outside of the politicians and billionaires that have taken advantage of the situation.

[Anonymous]

I think they all do take it seriously but there are different levels of people standing against the response to it. Some don’t want vacations but still take precautions. Some don’t like the idea of take experimental drugs.

[crazyymann]

this is just a claim not evidence. have you done an otopsy for people who died after? any evidence from death due to virus? maybe they died cuz of drugs they took?

[Anonymous]

They are selfish.

[MCheetah]

And you are retarded and shouldn't be allowed to reproduce.

[888theGreat]

Masks mean nothing if you don;t have gloves

[joeldalton]

DrLeanaWen
: "Don't wear a cloth mask. Cloth masks are little more than facial decorations. There's no place for them in light of Omicron."

[NorthwestRider]

I got the vaccine and do not give a freak if an anti vaxx losing to Darwinism

[JesseJayNeak]

Because there were many diseases even deadlier than COVID and yet they didn’t restrict people as much as now

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

Because its mostly a cold or mild fever with a 98% survival rate. 🤷‍♂️

[Alexa121996]

Because they didn’t Get or don’t care. Or don’t like to told what to do.

[Baredog69]

New red-blooded American true American wants to be told what to do by the government. That is a left-wing liberal point of view they want bigger government they want everyone dependent on the government and if they keep going that's the way it'll be. On the other hand Republicans wants less government listed in your life list taxes less of them in your business every day knowing what you're doing and no we don't want you to be afraid to wear a mask or not wear a mask we want it to be your choice of free choice and a free country. Since the science is now saying clearly that the paper masks are ineffective.

[TheFlak38]

because more people die from alcohol and car accidents

[Dchrls78104]

"It can't happen to me. ": that is the way their minds work.

[Tomtom9494]

Nobody ever said it isn’t real. You need to stop eating everything you read and see on tv

[KatanaSlice]

Because people don't want to hear the truth they just choose to believe what they want to believe.

[jasco]

I do, I just don't take the vaccines seriously but I do wear mask and social distance

[Jouth]

because a covid is so small. Are you serious? Imagine like a bug and me were to fight. I just crush it. A covid is too little, it cannot get me

[Anonymous]

I don’t know why. They should be cautious because they can have long term effect. I personally don’t touch anything when I am out and wear mask tight indoor. I think people can avoid infection.

[Baredog69]

Yes and if we all wore the bright yellow bio suits we would be pretty much protected from anything. I better shut up I don't want to give him any ideas.

[Northernmost84]

They are uninformed or have listened to misinformation propagated by anti government or white supremacy organizations

[OddBeMe]

Because they’re idiots. And now it’s part of their identity to resist.

[Anonymous]

Yes, of course the ChinaVirus is real, and not very nice to be infected with... but the effects of the COVID Jabs are, and will be MUCH WORSE.
PLEASE take the advice NOT to be injected, SERIOUSLY.

[em21210]

there are lots of ignorant people out there that have no idea what’s going on in the hospitals

[Baredog69]

It all depends on who you ask government makes it sound as there is not a bed anywhere in the country and I'm sure in so over mandated areas that's true. Watching local news channels reporter standing around with nobody in site of an ER.

[lpoots]

people need to get on living normally
it does not they they take #covid less seriously

[Anonymous]

people won't take stuff seriously till it impacts them personally

[Anonymous]

Because a disturbingly large chunk of modern people choose to be ignorant buffoons.

[jimmy2]

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink.
Think about that

[Willoughby23]

I never cared to begin with, now that its been two years It feels like its not even a thing

[Edward02]

ok, we know people have died, but don't make us get an experimental vaccine

[Anonymous]

Most of them trumptards who take the word of their cult leader and fascist propaganda over the global scientific and medical community.

[Anonymous]

Everyone I know has had COVID and none of them have died.

[Opinion Owner]

I believe it’s real but I don’t think it’s as serious as everyone and so what. We’re all gunna die in the next 100 years anyways

[Anonymous]

Is it real? Yes. Is it bad? Yes. Is it the worst thing ever? Not even close.

[douride2]

Two words. Conspiracy theorist.

[crazyymann]

right. no evidence, no otopsy what causes to die underlying. where is the science? only covid19 causes to die without scientic evidence 😂 you should stop following ur conspiracy theories 😂

[douride2]

@crazyymann I never said I believed in them. LOL

[douride2]

@crazyymann It would appear 5 people disagree with me though.

[crazyymann]

hmm ok

[douride2]

@crazyymann Many of those who have died with covid not from it where well over 80 years old or had other major issues.

[Mango-man]

Why? Just watch satirical movie Don't look up.

[Apulu_3]

I seriously don't know.

[spartan55]

I have no idea, it's mind boggling.

[Shaggy_KW]

Hehe glorified flu go brrrrrrrrrrr

[joeldalton]

lol. How serious should we take it?

[Anonymous]

I never cared. It’s the flu.

[kitty71]

that is what you think I believe. I have relatives as doctors and tell that to their faces and y ou will be surprise to contradict you.

[globetrotter22]

So what do you think should be done?

[GhostMochi]

People just don't care about it anymore, I guess

[FunkyMonkee]

The facts, Ma'am, just the facts.

[es20490446e]

Because today everything is entertainment.

[SAMI_DABBAB]

Because they survived...

[Gal67]

Because the whole thing is a scam, that's why.

[Fuentes]

Keep telling yourself that it's real lol
