"Operation Gridlock" protest underway at State Capitol

Yeah, but screw those people who might turn to something like gardening for the same reason. Screw the woman who uses gardening as an escape from being stuck inside with an abusive husband. JMR has spoken - wine spritzers are essential. Growing your own produce is not.

There is no evidence whatsoever that one cannot buy gardening products in Michigan. Please provide evidence that I am incorrect here.

There are millions of people just trying to survive, with no Internet, with gang activity still going on, with abusive household members... remember, and I include myself in this, it is pretty easy to sit here on the Internet with our mostly Internet savvy, middle to upper middle-class incomes/savings and scold people for not figuring it out or this or that...

Now that is a fascinating comment. Here this person uses his free speech to imply that what those thugs did today in Michigan was actually free speech. :lol:

The covidiots who showed up today in Lansing should know better. Staying at home is a small price to pay to help defeat the worst pandemic we've seen in a century.

Why do democrat lawmakers encourage illegals to enter the country by the tens of thousands, only to be illegally used for manual labor while squeezing US tax dollars our of them for their illegal labor? Why don't democrats just change the law to help those poor immigrants get legal jobs instead of underpaid dirt jobs?

Who mentioned illegals? Oh, yes, it was you. I was speaking of people here legally, who pay their taxes, are employed with no benefits, and keep your food on your table.

Considering there's a possible risk of re-infection, it's still not a good idea. Not to be in a crowd, anyway. Just protest in your car, if you really want to do that.

We'll have to start talking about how we're gonna get ourselves out of our houses, and trying to get back to our lives. I'm sure that these social distancing guidelines won't go away (and probably shouldn't); it's probably gonna be us taking these precautions like wearing masks outside, staying away from huge gatherings, and still trying to go about our business and open things back up. I'm no expert, so I can't exactly say when it's a good time for that.

I think a bunch of people going out to protest the lock downs, and get sick to spread it to their families, and keeping the infected numbers up there will prolong the lock down. It makes the protest counter productive. Fauci said the situation on the ground will determine when the lockdowns will end.

Remember ending your post with the words “Have Fun”? Don’t like the drivel then don’t add the “Have Fun” ending. My universe is a happy zone.

I was entertaining you... since you (not Trix) was the one who wanted me to “Have Fun”.

Get real! Only in lalaland would Trix be someone’s side kick!

Keep posting to me and I will sing... do ya, do ya wanna be my “Have Fun” side kick permanently?

It's possible. We'll have to see how it goes.

I'm just hoping that there won't be a surge in infections among those who participated.

When you say 'here this person' are you talking about me?

Yeah... that is why me and my daughters have been home-locked for almost a month now.

Me too, because those thugs are going to spread the disease to innocent people.

They didn't just incite violence. They actively participated in it. They were let off way too lightly. If those pieces of human trash show up again, Governor Whitmer needs to call in the National Guard and treat them as the active threats that they are.

I have said since day 1 that we won't see how bad it is until India has to deal with it. That place is a ****hole and have a half of a billion people (if not more) living in abject poverty.

Last I read, 650 million people in that country live without running water. So, all that handwashing we 1st world folks get to do to protect ourselves is not an option for more people than live in all of North America.

You are unfamiliar with the use of the third-person with someone who is currently present? :)

Your PM has shown the world what excellent leadership looks like. New Zealand has turned out to be even better than South Korea at managing the coronavirus, if that were possible! :thumbs:
 
No shortage of jerks in this world, looks like a bunch of Trump lovin' snowflake crybabies to me. :roll:

The virus doesn't care about 'if , then and maybe', and about 15 percent of people who recover seem to be able to be reinfected. , although that couple be false positives, or they didn't fully recover and became asymptomatic anyway

Again, if the above is true, I agree that many are not being responsible if they are ignoring social distancing. I'm not sold on the idea that masks help all that much. Staying away from one another, yes.

Nor is social distancing an option for many of those people.

Not sure if she did great or we just got lucky... but I guess that it takes a little of both anyway. The district I live in has not had one case at all in the past 17 days, I think. I just went to the store for the first time (big supermarket, not the little corner market in the village) and it was chill. We also have national buying quotas. Only two of certain items (toilet paper, pasta, etc) allowed.

Odds are there will.

I just pray they don't take the virus home to their family and friends who then will interact within their communities and further the spread.
