Coronavirus stay-at-home orders stir protests nationwide amid fears of economic collapse

Nah. I leave the whining to you guys, You do it so well. You'll have your chance in November to hold him accountable. The bulls$%^ gotcha questions the media are obsessed with now are beyond ridiculous.

What’s beyond ridiculous is the way the Trump cult melts down when anyone even slightly questions or criticizes Donnie Draft Dodger. The “deep state” idiocy, Qanon, the “pizzagate” fiasco......Democrats have a long way to go before they could even dream of matching the proficiency and volume of the Trump cult’s whiners.
 
The rate of infection is going to increase whenever the restrictions are lifted.

Have you looked at the science of morbidity, depression, death, addiction, spousal and child abuse associated with unemployment? Very well established, for decades,

I know this is hard for you to understand. But social distancing has slowed the rate of infections. Social distancing is buying time. There is no reward in having everyone get sick at the same time
 
Reasonable restrictions. Protect the vulnerable. Let the rest of us get back to work/life.

You don’t know who the venerable is. Who is going to determine that?
 
Yes. But there is decades worth of science behind speed limits. Set it at 70 and you will have X number of accidents/deaths. Set it at 65 and you will have Y. The "science" and models used by the governors to enact these lockdowns is voodoo and have been wrong by at least two orders of magnitude.

JUST what we needed - another rational person posting here!

:2mad:
 
Influenza is a deadly disease and I was still allowed to go to work, go to the movies, go to a ballgame. Why didn't we care about "other people’s grandparents" six months ago?

Since you INSIST on being logical, here's a fact for you:

COVID-19 has killed far LESS than 1/1,000th of the annual US death rate.

Why didn't we shut the economy down because cars, guns, flu, alcohol, cigarettes, sugar, abortion & butter - to name but a few - each and every one of which kills far MORE people than WuFlu.

It's not that the economy shouldn't be shut down, it's that it should have been shut down hundreds of years ago.

Life = Too dangerous to be lived

:afraid:
 
2018-18 it killed 80,000 in the US 600,000 worldwide. And that is with vaccines. Perhaps if you focused on the reality of the disease and not obsess on the President, you might have some perspective.

Too rational.
 
I live in California. I cannot buy food unless I am wearing a mask. All of the parks are closed. All of the beaches are closed. All of the trails are closed. All of the golf courses are closed. It is illegal to attend a church service.

But religion is evil. :angel?:

You should thank...

...somebody...

... that you aren't free to gather in the eons-old human traditions of worship, work, play, learning and protest.

Also, Trump is evil, and all this can be irrationally blamed on him.

See how blessed we all are?

:donkeyfla
 
Oh look, another Trump cultist throwing a tantrum because people hold Mr. “Total Authority” accountable.

I hate to break it to you but saying “gee, it’ll kill less than 80,000 people” is not much of an argument.

COVID-19 = Responsible for far LESS than 1/1,000th of the annual US death rate

Far LESS than cars, butter, abortion, sugar, cigarettes, medical error and numerous other fatal realities INDIVIDUALLY account for.

How's that for an argument?

Should we destroy the economy & nation harder?

Why didn't we shut down DECADES ago????

Why don't Democrats care about the victims of butter???????

:hm
 
The social distancing is based on science. It is working. If we discontinue social distancing, the rate of infection will increase. That is simple science

If we don't get back to work, the nation will crash and burn.

That's simple reality.

COVID-19 = Minuscule cause of death
 
You don’t know who the venerable is. Who is going to determine that?

We know who the venerable is.

And we know who the vulnerable are.
 
That depends whether you treasure death or life.

The two are inextricably intertwined.

Just as surely as the COVID-19 death rate is MINUSCULE.
 
Posters who spam= not worth anyone’s time.
 
More spam= still not worth anyone’s time.
 
You definitely don’t have any legs to stand on.

Claims of “tyranny” because the government enforces a quarantine are silly

Homosexual marriage, abortion and 2nd amendment issues involving the 10th amendment. What say you?
 
Oh look, you don’t have an argument so now you are flailing around. I accept your surrender.


You have it bad TIgger. You called me a Trump cultist, having a meltdown, tantrum, whining ...

I never mentioned the President. I simply questioned your positions on the lockdown. And you fell apart
