I do wear a mask. But my point was still missed. A vaccine seems very unlikely since there has never been a coronavirus vaccine. With that given it seems likely that everyone will eventually get it. So with that in mind why does no one talk about immune health? We talk about not getting it, etc, but we never talk about why are so many people sick to begin with. The world like to ignore why so many people are overweight, have diabetes, etc.
so, we shouldn't have a vaccine unless people rid themselves of diabetes, being overweight,etc.?

and we should all give up because there has never been a vaccine?

Why do we not talk about people taking better care of their own health?
I had something to say about this, but it looks like you have been beaten up enough for this thread.

Nope, posting stupid, time wasting, and misleading things that are simply stupid, (also known as 'clickbait', at the very least, it promotes the video of the idiot) is simply stupid, in and of itself. (To be expected from that account, sadly)

if you click the link, you'll see it's a sarcastic diatribe AGAINST people who say you shouldn't wear masks.

not stupid, not time wasting.

actually quite funny!

so don't click it.

I'm not surprised by the responses I got. Calling someone an idiot without an actual response means you don't have a good response. It's a tactic used by certain groups of people that have no intention of listening to people who have different opinions than their own. If you put some extreme derogatory label on someone, automatically nothing they say is taken into consideration anymore. Someone being called an idiot for suggesting more of a focus on personal health is to be expected by a forum that's owned by a DME supplier. Harder to sell healthy people CPAP equipment.

Get that thought right out of your head....while cpap.com does host the forum... the owner actually is more into to personal freedoms than encouraging any of the forum members to be back door salespeople for him. We don't get any sort of kick back here from the time we spend here.

What you just said....a big fat insult to the forum owners and the members here and I couldn't let it stand.

The forum owner is big into the freedom of speech thing though. That means you get to say what you think about things but someone else has the exact same freedom and if they think what you said makes you an idiot....they get to say that as well.

BUT IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH CPAP.com SELLING ANYTHING.
I shouted it on purpose...I want to make that clear.
Forum member opinions are nothing more than their personal opinions and we can expect them to differ widely.
Accept it or move on.

This isn't true. Nobody said anything about you suggesting more of a focus on personal health.

I quoted exactly and only the point that I disagreed with, specifically that being asymptomatic and you are less likely to spread the virus.

Here it is:

Asymptomatic people are not less likely to spread it.

Hey. People. I just had an idea:

Maybe the best way to fight a pandemic is for everybody to just try to be healthier. That way nobody gets sick! Think about it!!!

I sure hope the Nobel prize people read this forum so they can contact me about my idea after it completely transforms medicine.

I mean, after the SoClean people win theirs, of course.

Oh. And please don't call me any mean names; I'm very sensitive.

Although I think maybe it's the fact the CPAP.com never tries to sell me anything that actually makes me buy so much blasted stuff from them.

My present conspiracy theory is that somehow Zonker is behind all of that. Kind of a bait-and-click sort of thing. Or is it a bait-and-go-cut-your-own-switch thing? Something like that.

I keep seeing Shatner advertising the NoClean on TV and it irritates me so much
