There. Fixed it for you. Btw. The Spanish flu was spread by the vaccine given to soldiers. Do some research. I shorted the rest of your post because it was mindless drivel being parroted by all the other sheep. Or should I say Braaa-rroted?
You must be one of the fortunate ones who has not lost a loved one to this virus. I have not been so fortunate. I hope you luck lasts as long as your arrogance...

It’s interesting how people want it to be all or nothing! Some say masks work, and some say they don’t. Social distancing is necessary for almost ALL of our daily life events, but you can be a part of ginormous protests without thinking twice.

People compare COVID-19 to the flu. Realize that there have been several Flu pandemics in the past, with devastating consequences. The Flu Pandemic of 1968 killed 1 million / the Asian Flu of 1956-1958 killed 2 million / the Flu Pandemic of 1918 killed 20 -50 million / the Flu Pandemic of 1889-1890 killed 1 million.

Eventually, flus either run their course – or now with our technology, a vaccine is developed. Although we've been successful at finding a vaccine for recent flus - we still have no vaccine for COVID-19.

We have become a society where we make decisions based on what we want, while the needs of others, as well as public health and safety is secondary. We have never been through this particular pandemic. We have no vaccine. We have not learned enough about it yet, and it continues to evolve. Is the act of wearing a mask and social distancing so vile, that it cannot be tolerated – even on the off-chance that it might at least slow the spread of the virus?

As of today, there are 10.3 million documented COVID-19 cases worldwide, with 506 thousand deaths. It is believed that there are many more undocumented. Since the reopenings here in the US alone, and subsequent removal of masks, some states have seen an uptick of 9000 cases in just one day.

We are only about 7 months into a pandemic that can literally last years. Trying to slow it's progress by ANY means until we can find a solution should be our most fervent concern.

I am in no way negating the shattering effect this is having on people of all ages, in all walks of life. The domino result has been unfathomable. I realize that this terrible pandemic is financially crippling to many. It's true that for some - their situation is already desperate. But knee-jerking a “quick fix’ now could cost us tremendously later.

We don’t need to split hairs about how much of the uptick is social gathering, and how much is mask related. We need to understand that this virus might be long-term, and that being bored, “getting tired” of dealing with it, and selfishly assuming that you know what’s best for YOU is exactly what will spread the virus quicker than anything!
Is the act of wearing a mask and social distancing so vile, that it cannot be tolerated YES AND YES!! Have you ever heard of building your immunities by exposure?

Looking back, through many, although per,haps, not all, shows however much of, a, know-it-all, he is, he does not know how to, use, a comma.
You must be our new grammar specialist? Welcome aboard. And as such, you should know, that a, "comma", is used as a pause, and a punctuation mark that separates words, clauses, or ideas within a sentence.

Your medical knowledge is astounding....

...ly incomplete and incorrect.

Tell you what. Why don't you find a COVID-19 patient and build your immunity and tell us how you feel in about three weeks. It'll be a great case study.

Fortunate? The newbie comes out boxing. Death is all around. An every minute of every hour of everyday occurrence. Loved ones I've lost plenty over my life thus far. And I'm pretty sure it will not end even after my own death. I empathize with those who have lost a loved one due to this coronavirus. However, my concern is that of my immediate circle of family and friends. I will not tip-toe around an issue because some people die. What I write, about this coronavirus, I believe to be truthful. Not speculation.

Back to your, "fortunate ones", statement. I'm fortunate no drunk driver killed any member of my family or friends. (No. I mis-spoke. I did lose someone, many years ago. And how I loved her. To a drunk driver. Writing this made me remember). I'm fortunate that no member of my family, or any friend, died in their sleep. Or died from a heart attack, or a stroke, or a brain aneurysm, or cancer, or pancreatitis, or the myriad of fatal illnesses and diseases. Including this so called "Novel" "COVID-19" coronavirus. If any of the preceding do happen to happen to a family member or friend, I will grieve, as all who lose someone close does. But I will not be on here chiding someone because of their position using my loss to forward a BS agenda.

Adios you pompous dick !

Good day, Bonehead. I do not care for your tone nor for your anti-American "oprima numero dos para Ingles" way of dismissing me. If you are too much of a safe-space-needing, self-centered snowflake to accept someone's light criticism of another user's grammar then I am pleased to be done with you. If you ever wish to speak to me again I will first insist on a public apology.

Good day, indeed.

No one designated me as any sort of specialist, at least not to my knowledge. Thank you for the reminder on how commas are to be used and what purposes they serve. However, if you take but a small sampling of your many posts over the past several years, you will find that these pauses are often awkwardly and mistakenly placed, giving your speech the tone or cadence of, say, Christopher Walken as well as obscuring their intent or meaning.

I point this out not because perfect grammar matters to me. I do so because I have been given the impression that you like to present yourself as intelligent or witty and these simple errors undercut this ongoing effort.

I would like to think of you as intelligent, too; certainly it would make agreeing with your points a lot more palatable. However, your flawed attempts to sound intelligent read as transparent, desperate and doomed. Perhaps, If I may, thinking a bit more critically, again only if I may, about your bizarre over-reliance on commas and their frequent misplacement -- begging your pardon, again, and only if I may -- could improve matters.

I do not think you understand the word "empathize," at least not in this particular context. There are other issues with your poorly phrased, tonally dissonant reply, too (not least of which is the feeble tug on readers' heartstrings by reciting your litany of losses, trials and/or tribulations -- boo hoo, snowflake; get over it and pull yourself up by your bootstraps), but in the interests of forming and preserving a budding alliance between us, perhaps I will privately message you.
