People do not do this at all. People disregard their health constantly that I think it's odd how much people claim morality when discussing health.
People know that eating better is beneficial for their health. But they don't do it because of humans addictions to certain chemicals in the foods we eat. Same thing with cigarettes and any form of addiction that detriments a person's health.
You also have people hurting their physical health because of a damn challenge where people just have to follow the trend. That's pretty much leading the sheep off the cliff. The Milk Crate challenge...
Good lord. I'm not a perfect at all, but in the last year and a half, I haven't caught covid. That has nothing to do with my diet, my vices (too much sugar!) or my daily activities. I wore my mask when needed, kept away from large crowds (and if I was in one, wore a mask) and my family sacrificed where needed - cancelling vacations, not going to the zoo, etc.
I'm not claiming higher morality at all. There's a difference at living a healthy lifestyle vs. taking measures to not come down with covid and prolong the pandemic.
That wasn't meant toward you personally. Sorry if you did take it as personal, it wasn't my intention.
It's a response to what you said about people that can't figure out how to be healthy.
But, living a healthy lifestyle proves to be beneficial in not causing one to get health conditions that do make them more susceptible to Covid.
I am not blaming anyone at all either. I am just wondering how people that do claim to be about morals and righteousness (not you or anyone else here) always feel like placing blame on "the other" rather than reflecting and looking at the mirror and saying, "Maybe, I shouldn't have done those things to get me to this point" that's accepting the consequences for your choices that now make you vulnerable to getting this virus.
Also, we have never mass tested people for a coronavirus until Covid-19 hit the airwaves. I am sure if we were to have tested people for the flu, we'd find out many people were asymptomatic and spreading the flu just as much as we are with Covid-19. Are there any studies or research being done about this, or are there any that was actually done?
See, what happened was this caused our mindsets to shift and we ended up becoming more sanitary. People were nasty before (still are), and would not wash their hands much at all. People and businesses would still go to work even when people were sick causing spread to those vulnerable and could possibly die from catching that cold. Now businesses are saying stay home if sick, therefore people don't need to go to work, as businesses hopefully implemented sick leave pay and a requirement for getting that sick leave. The business's affected peoples mindsets about illness spread because they needed to make money, and if they don't come into work they don't make the money to live. That entire team of mind and mindset has changed and shifted...
