I agree that I might come across as callous in some of my posts but I'm not willing people to die or suffer. I've just been trying to get across that by and large people dont accept responsibility for their own health. This is easily seen through rising obesity and the illnesses associated with that. I understand that people sort of buy what they can afford but everyone can make changes to their diet and increase their exercise routines in order to prevent the death figures being so high again. As someone who exercises regularly and has eaten a vegetarian diet for over 30 years I do feel frustrated that my freedoms are being curtailed for the sake of others who have been less intelligent towards their own health for decades and I know plenty who share this view. Similar on a lesser scale in that I hated being put on class detention in school due to the actions of a few morons within our group.
Smiling in the masked world of COVID-19
People will have to learn to smile with their eyes and voices, and to read the eyes and voices of others more, Stanford scholar Jeanne Tsai says.

Turning a thread about a potentially deadly virus into why people should eat better and stop being fat is weird.
Because the healthy don't die of COVID. Oh, wait.
Why are young, healthy people dying of coronavirus? The symptoms to look out for
The patients who have been critically ill aren't just older people and those with underlying health conditions

But it's not. A significant amount of those affected by the virus are sufferingnmost because of illnesses due to lifestyle, it's not neccessarily the virus that kills them. The one in the government who got it and suffered most, yes, it was the fat lazy, wheezy boy Johnson. That's my point.

2 bachelor parties! No slowing us down
Just curious...what do you mean by "reality is coming for us"...You had mentioned in your post about Eric Weinstein that "When this 'revolution' goes off and someone is counting deaths in thousands instead of singles." Is that what you mean by "reality is coming for us"...some sort of civil war? Or is this some sort of religious thing...the 2nd coming of Christ and all that?
By the way, I watched the Eric Weinstein video you posted and--no surprise to either you or me--wasn't terribly convinced by it. Both Eric and Brett are smart, no doubt, but they are currently way to wrapped up in self-promotion rather than critical thinking. Brett has gone down some dead-end path thinking the Corona virus was made in a lab when hundreds of virologists have said it hasn't (he's a decent evolutionary biologist--but not a good virologist). I even read his entire dissertation just to make sure I wasn't short-changing him (it's available online). Eric, in similar fashion, is smart but way to self-promoting rather than helpful. For example, he hasn't published anything from his dissertation that I can find, but instead promoted and gave a talk that promised a great unity in physics, but he never delivered a preprint or peer-reviewed paper, and many physicists didn't buy into his talk. I have no doubt he's a decent physicist (but I would have no way of evaluating that, as I'm not a physicist), but he seemed to have jumped immediately into stocks/trading after grad school. In his video where he talks about a coming revolution, I find that he is more about promoting his speculation to gain youtube subscribers rather than finding facts to support his views.
But if you are interested in predicting future social states from current and historical ones, don't look to Weinstein, look to Peter Turchin, who founded Cliodynamics. This is systematic science of predicting social cycles based on numerous factors. Based on his analysis, he wrote this letter to Nature in 2010: "Very long 'secular cycles' interact with shorter-term processes. In the United States, 50-year instability spikes occurred around 1870, 1920 and 1970, so another could be due around 2020. We are also entering a dip in the so-called Kondratiev wave, which traces 40-60-year economic-growth cycles. This could mean that future recessions will be severe."

I am not so sure. The lad has a point that some lifestyle choices, not getting old obvs, do make you more vulnerable to Covid. @Bruce Wayne has longed championed the cause that some personal responsibility for your own health aint exactly a bad idea.
Trouble is, @Tea_drinker does his cause no good by moaning about his gym not being allowed to open, which comes across as selfish. Which is kinda the same side of the coin.

It's also clear that a lot of these viruses originate through the meat industry. Again, I ask people to defer from funding it.
The irony that you complain about fat people taking your freedom and rights away and at the same time complaining that having to wear a mask is inconvenient.
Do you hear yourself?
Also not all people contracting the virus are unhealthy people. You live in a bubble.
Put the protein shakes down. They seem to be affecting your brain. Or is it a lack of iron due to not eating meat.

This is right and I am being a bit selfish cos as much as people think wearing a mask will help, I believe that my or rather everyone's ability to continue to exercise and stay healthy also helps.
I don't by it.
Hes perturbed by his life being restricted and he's blaming unhealthy people as a result.
Sure we could all do better in life but pointing fingers while refusing to follow new guidelines makes one a bit silly.

I completely get your view. Try to get mine. I'm more into prevention than waiting years for a cure.
I'd love to live in your blissfully clueless mind for one day and know complete peace
