Corona Virus #4

As for "bad habits" like smoking, drinking etc.....I think that all of us have some habits that could cause other people to pick up the tab......e.g. all those joggers with screwed up knees and cyclists peddling beside us on busy streets. There's got to be some medical expenses passed on to the community. Other examples might be found on the Safety Forum here on TBN

Cheers,

^^^ I've been coughing, hacking and weezing for years, generally feeling like crap including intermittently feverish. I wouldn't know if I had it or not, but I won't be changing any of what I do.

I wonder if that would get you out of a traffic ticket now ?
Just a warning for now sir !

As I said to Step, I'm in total agreement.

Once again,,,,, who's going to determine what bad habit is not supported???

Being a farmer, who have several daily habits that would absolutely offend city folk and they'd want to put those things on their list.

I think we can very easily assemble a panel of educated health care experts to determine smoking/vaping are bad habits with absolutely zero health benefits.

I would bet health experts have a strong majority agreement that while jogging & cycling accidents may happen, the health risks outweigh the cost of injuries in both cost of insurance claims and increased longevity from the benefits of exercise.

Cycling and jogging are far more beneficial to society than smoking.
Even comparing the downsides of the two is pretty ridiculous.

"Experts estimate that between 2009 and 2012, the annual societal costs attributable to smoking in the United States were between $289 and $332.5 billion. This includes $132.5 to $175.9 billion for direct medical care of adults and $151 billion for lost productivity due to premature deaths."

I've been trying to think about a "raffle" that we could buy into betting on who's first!!!!

Yep, no doubt. Is that the only item that would be on their list?
