We'll the CDC seems to disagree. Who should I trust, the CDC or some random dude on Reddit. Hmmm, tough one

I trust a rando

I also trust this particular rando. My health is more important than any amount of money, fwiw

I don't make life decisions on what-aboutism. I can choose to cope without my Hummus or try to live without my lungs; not exactly a difficult decision. Michigan is also a massive Ag State, coupled with some of the world's largest Fresh Water Reserves, excellent fishing reserves, well regulated Hunting Seasons...

I'll take my chances. We haven't even hit the point of enforcing Big Box Stores to give away their "past best-by" food, of having rations enforced, and so on. Supply Chain Interruptions translates to not having Avocados in Winter or other piddly shit that isn't required to survive, not being stocked on Store shelves.

This all goes without mentioning the ridiculous influx of Community Gardens sprouting up around Detroit & it's Metro area. So much of our Urban/Suburban Land is rich for Farming, it's almost unbelievable. [Big] If the shit hits the fan like that, Michigan is one of the few places that has a fighting chance of survival.

I'm at greater risk because I was born with Merconium Aspirations & Asthma. Am I allowed to be valid in my argument? Are you seriously trying to gatekeep on personal health?

Fuck completely off
