Corona virus in a free society

[OldJourno]

I'm in Nevada and no one batted an eye when the governor ordered schools to shut down and businesses to close. I didn't hear anyone question the governor's right to close an insurance agency, a fitness center, whatever.
Even churches.
The Las Vegas newspaper, the Review-Journal, has a reputation for sticking up for conservative values, even in the age of ownership by Sheldon Adelson. But not a peep.
Well, now I understand why businesses have licenses. If you open after Gov. Sisolak told you not to, you could lose that license.

But people are still free to shop (and hoard) at food stores. Now that more information is rolling in, I'm starting to come to the conclusion that in the U.S. this China virus is not going to be any deadlier than any other strain of flu, and that the malaria drug combo they talk about could be a life-saver for a lot of people who do get it.
I think business owners should be free to assess the information available to them and decide whether or not to open. There might be enough people who have drawn the conclusion that they can safely resume life as usual, and they should be free to choose to patronize that business rather than be restricted to certain specific businesses.
My opinion is probably clouded by the fact I live in an area with no known corona virus. What's your opinion?

"this China virus is not going to be any deadlier than any other strain of flu" Sounds like you've not done your research....

 

[Hugh_Essay]

I think you should carry on with life as usual. In other words continue being a deplorable incel.

 

[BoyNextDoor]

What is china virus?

 

[oggbashan]

No known corona virus?

So far.

If your state implements protective measures early, you might have fewer cases than otherwise.

If they wait too long - the shit may well hit the fan and the virus could spread very rapidly.

The experience in other countries seems to show that waiting kills more people who didn't need to die.

I think you should stick to your convictions and keep going outside and doing things as usual in order to give a middle finger to those pussy liberals and progressives taking things too far out of fear. It's only a simple flu, right? You lived long enough to be a grandpa, you must have shit loads of natural antibodies learned through time stored up in your cells. Plus, if there's no virus in your area, then you're perfectly safe.

You should also be consistent. Either call it Coronavirus, COVID-19 or "China Virus." You're all over the map here like a house of waffles. Grab your Johnson and stick to a term, man!

 

[hobbit.]

As long as it stays that way.

he should be allowed to go on with his business.

But without wearing a n95 mask - donate his stash to the doctors and nurses who ran out.

See if he still feels comfortable doing it, or how many clients will seek him out.

My opinion is that you're dumber than the average American person.

It's what deplorables call corona virus because their retarded leader referred to it as such.

Coming from you, he must be pretty dumb.

 

[great lover]

Shaddup Luke!

 

[RoryN]

^^^
Moron.

 

[sygn]

It's mindboggling And funny.

Trump HAS done good things. But he's not perfect, as this crisis showed.
But some of his base are religiously embracing the most moronic ideas.
Because Trump said so.

Even Q, who knows more about this stuff than the typical person, has started promoting anti-vaxxers types of ideas.

 

[FGB]

My opinion that this will set a precedent on how to handle problems like this going forward for both the people and the Government.

We are all stumbling around in the dark here...

Should not be but we are.

Why the fuck isn't God leading us out of darkness

 

[Hugh_Essay]

Why the fuck isn't God leading us out of darkness

It must be a test.

 

[DeluxAuto]

It must be a test.

He only gives us as much as we can take

 

[FGB]

Why the fuck isn't God leading us out of darkness

Who said he wasn't?

It's the so called followers that cause the trouble.

We got ourselves into this shit( Hell as a country we ASKED for stuff like this!) and NOW you want GOD to get us out of what we so richly deserve.

You did not catch my prayer for the new year I am guessing...

To my amazement it seems to be turning Trump more presidential.

I fucking love people like you

I fucking love people like you

Then you will really love this... I had no clue what the year would bring.

A Prayer for the New Year...
________________________________________
Almighty God, Sovereign of the most High, Bless this New Year and protect us from our follies.

My God and my Salvation, forgive us of our sins and look not at our trespasses and transgressions and if you cannot by way of your word and promises make them of no effect I pray thee do not aid our enemies empowered to punish us as we should be.

My father have mercy on your children whom must act as to your will set by bounds and ordinances as you have directed, finding no joy in our actions of disobedience but surely must suffer from the penalties set forth because once given thy word cannot be broken here on earth or in Heaven.

Everlasting Hope and Comfort, aid us in doing your will, strengthen our bodies, minds and spirits and embolden us to rise to your expectations in this coming year and help repair our country so that we may hold our heads up among the nations and they KNOW you have blessed us and we fear you and that you will use your fury unleashed for disobedience.

I AM is our blessing and our curse. We are a people not reckoned among the Heathen to be Gods people, yet the symbols and emblems of YOUR people abound in our land. Therefore stretch out thy hand in blessing or curse to let it be known that we belong.

Thy will be done…

And the Brethren said AMEN!

Technically, the WuFlu hasn’t reached flu numbers yet, but The statistical curves say it will.
