Here we go, we have positive cases. Mayo Bowl in doubt

The hospital system is generally capable of handling heart disease cases. There isn't a risk you're going to overwhelm the hospital system with your poor eating habits.

Covid patients have overwhelmed our health care system and being negligent isn't acceptable.
Can you show me some evidence that our hospitals have been overwhelmed?
 
If you are genetically predisposed based on a family history it often is irrelevant how you eat or how much you exercise. Regardless heart attacks aren’t contagious in public settings no matter how you try to compare them.

Heart disease kills 3/4 of a million people a year and it transcends generations. Now tell me, I want your opinion, should we dictate what the current population eats in order to reduce risk for the next generation?

That’s not how genetic conditions work. I could eat 5lbs of bacon every day while never leaving my couch and if I’m not predisposed for an issue may never have any problems. Someone else could eat nothing but salads and run 5 miles a day and drop dead of a heart attack at 35 so the diet and exercise didn’t change anything.

Regardless trying to compare a potential genetic disease to a virus is as bad as blaming a $3000 medicine for a $400,000 hospital bill.

If I eat a diet that is high in saturated fats, I am more likely to develop heart disease. If I develop heart disease, my offspring will be more likely to inherit a predisposition to heart disease. Do you dispute this?

Again a family predisposition to heart disease is there regardless of diet. You may reduce the risk by taking preventive measures throughout your life but your aren’t going to change the predisposition. Conversely if you are 500 LBs and have a heart attack it doesn’t mean that your children will also have a heart attack.

Let me know the next time you hear about someone catching a heart attack from the person next to them on a cruise ship.

If I develop atherosclerosis through ingesting saturated fats, my children will be more likely to develop atherosclerosis. Do you dispute this?
 
Amazed at the clueless QNON and Flat Earth comments. Do you ever leave your house or watch anything other than Pfizer for your news? Whether fully vaxxed/boosted or not, most people that I know realize that something is very amiss with what is going on and reported. You don't have to be a high-end data analyst or risk management specialist to connect the dots at this point.

Such comments are intended to marginalize and disarm people. Intelligent individuals understand that they are fashioned to swing a debate when truth or logic alone won't do it.

This. Government was not meant to have this much control over our lives.

For the 1st time in history the ineffectiveness of a medicine is being blamed on people who never took it.
 
Exercise, eating right. :)

Seriously, we all make personal choices that shouldn't preclude us from seeking medical attention.

Neither of those things are anywhere near comparable to the current covid situation. It's intellectually dishonest to pretend they are analogous.
IMO, the reason why they aren't analogous is that diet/exercise requires discipline and an ongoing commitment to a specific lifestyle. Going to get a shot once every 6-12 months doesn't require near the discipline.

Youre right, people hate discipline.
