I agree with your post for the most part but "I think" are wasted words. Every statement is a something someone thinks unless they cite a source. Only include "I think" if you're doubting your opinions.

I haven't had a McDonald's milkshake in 30 years but I remember the plastic straws collapsed at both ends back then.

She could find a doctor who only accepts private insurance if she wants. Does she not know that?

Your tattoo example doesn't make sense to me. The tattoo shop could require an agreement limiting liability without denying access to the courts.

Are you saying that it's reasonable to be allowed to waive your right to access the legal system when getting a tattoo but not when accessing streaming services?

I see my mistake. I was overly focused on airborne data. Malaria hasn't really changed for the better has it. Thank you.

I stand corrected. Let me adjust my comment. Most viruses, the vast majority, are not deadly to humans. Those that are tend to mutate to become less deadly to humans over time.

Totally 💯

HIV won't kill you. It weakens your immune system so other diseases kill you.

Uh... Cancer is not an organism with its own genes. Cancer is you baby, you're just just getting out of control. Viruses sometimes start deadly but they almost always get less deadly over time.

Don't they usually mutate to less deadly forms? Killing their host isn't exactly a successful strategy.
