Lightening vs Covid

[Phoenix61]

The odds of becoming a lightning victim in the U.S. in any one year is 1 in 700,000. The odds of being struck in your lifetime is 1 in 3,000.
Yet I bet the same people who refuse to wear a mask get out of the pool during a lightening storm.

1. You're supposed to get out of the pool to get inside.

2. There is one big difference in your analogy

wearing a mask doesn't protect YOU, only other people.

Getting out of the pool protects you.

These people that don't wear a mask just don't care about other people.

3. Unless, of course, their were a goverment order to stay out of the pool

Then it would become a conservative/Trumpian badge of honor to stay in swimming pools when the lighting starts, and to jump into a pool if they weren't already in one.

4. I also bet

That they look both ways before crossing the street.

5. Some stay on golf courses after lightning alarms

It happens in real life, not just in the movie Caddy Shack.

6. to be clear, you can't climb out of a bad gene pool.

8. I thought this was gonna' be a thread reporting that Dumpus was recommending

we all try to get struck by lightning as a cure for COVID-19.

Whew!
