Earlier quoted context omitted.

"Blunt" just comes off as puerile. Why should I take you seriously when you talk like a teenager.

I would venture a guess that most (Americans) respond well to teenage-style messaging, given the number of people who voted for a man who made disrespect his mantra. Sigh

That's one of the more creative opportunities I've seen to shoehorn an "orange man bad" in somewhere completely unnecessary. Get your T levels checked.

Seems like focusing on blaming individuals rather than: - Employers don't allow telecommuting. - Employers with draconian sick leave policies. - No paid sick leave for the majority of jobs (and or strict limits). - Limited access to testing to know if you have Covid-19 (Vs. a common cold). Which is significant with e.g. Walmarts new policies which ONLY allow Covid-19 paid sick leave. Ultimately we set up a system whe…

> blaming individuals

Or is it encouraging individuals to start making more of a grassroots effort to effect change for their own sakes, rather than sitting around waiting for the people with little to gain and much to lose in enacting more human policies to suddenly have a change of heart?

> Limited access to testing to know if you have Covid-19 This is a huge one, at least in France. A friend recently tried to get tested because he was coughing heavily and had a fever. His doctor asked if he went to Italy or China recently, he said no, his doctor replied "Well then you don't have it." and that was the end of it.

I don't understand. How are doctors this stupid? We have obvious communal transmission in France (and other countries). And if nobody is fucking testing for it, the doctor can't fucking say that you can't have it. What happened to evidence-based medicine?
