My relatives who fall into this category have basically sheltered at home since this began. They can't afford to let their guards down. Thankfully, treatments seem to be much better than they were in April. Still, until there is a vaccine the high risk people really need to use extreme caution and social distancing. Unfortunately, there are those who wish to deny those statistics. Those who fall into those categories should follow the example set by TNcruising02's relatives.

Is that age discrimination or is justifiable? ridiculous analogy, or the drinking age, no it's not discrimination. Can you join the military at 12? It's called a minimum age requirement, not discrimination Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
