sure, but there is a difference between precaution and total isolation in fear of the virus. so few really have that option, or want to.

That’s the cost of a pandemic. Figure out how to handle it. Have food, groceries, medicine, etc..., delivered. If you have to go out, wear a mask, and stay away from people. If you have a job, be thankful you have it because there’s tons of people that have been put out of work, lost everything, and wish they had one.

id love to go, if for one reason - to support the libertarian sentiment and their "push back" in principle, even if i do not fully agree with the Crack'd Egg because of the pandemic situation.

but they are not forcing change on EVERYONE, are not erasing history, or making ridiculous demands...

i want sausage and scrambled eggs, too - better be good food.

anyone know if parking in the huge lot across the street is OK if you are not shopping there?

Their food is great. Diana is a hoot. I agree our freedom is indeed in jeopardy, guns aside. All opinions should be heard and respected, not just one side.

Just hate to provide anyone with a "cause celebre" on these issues - just let them open and have the public health officials provide best guidance on who should participate, and/or whether you should go visit your un-vaccinated gran in a nursing home after participating.

Obviously, this is going to beg some questions:

- does health insurer have the "freedom" to cancel health insurance or refuse to cover covid-related expenses for participants?

- does life insurer have the "freedom" to cancel policy for participants?

- if we have two covid patients fighting over last hospital bed, should hospital ask a question like, did you quarantine (only going out for necessities) or did you attend any large events recently, in order to help decide who gets last bed?

I'm also worried about the militia member getting to determine when the government slips into tyranny. Our colonial militias would have also protected us from threats from hostile indians as well, so I wonder if the local militia would protect us from armed Proud Boys or Oath Keepers, who see tyranny everywhere?

I heard socialist Joe is opening up the borders to migrants without any virus testing, so if that’s the case, the virus obviously isn’t a concern any longer, but for those that still fear it simply stay home or wear a mask.

You're right -- I'm not sure what the best position is on quarantines and masks, but I do feel strongly that, once a significant portion of the population has (rightly or wrongly) gone anti-quarantine/anti-mask, the "pro" position becomes more and more untenable, even if it is held by a majority.

Erieguy, did you make any decision on a vaccine? We got my mother her first dose back on February 3rd. It's great, as with the app I downloaded from the government, I can now track mom's location!

Best position is if you’re scared to go out, stay home. Then you don’t have to live in fear on the outside and be so concerned about everyone else.

Don’t have a position either way, but I’m certainly in no hurry to get it. I’m just glad the Trump vaccine is out and so popular.
