That’s right. Encourage people to go wandering around in the middle of a pandemic How very patriotic of you. You may be free but you don’t deserve to be when you’re advocating actions that could lead to the deaths of your fellow Americans. A new low even for this place.

well, the u.s., We are the home of the brave, because we feel that Americans are courageous, as shown by the history of our pioneers who settled vast open lands.

It is brave to do the things you don't want to do in order to flatten the curve. You probably should give the words "courageous and bravery" another thought.

Yes. I love my freedoms. But I love my fellow Americans more, enough to give up some freedoms so I don't put my fellow Americans at greater risk.

Would You Obey A Nationwide Shelter In Place—-Absolutely “Not”


I'm already doing that with my family, and have been for three weeks.

I think you'll find that many other Americans are too.

Maybe it's time to quit pretending that nobody will do the right thing.

Try it sometime.

The shelter in place is happening in a few states. It's not martial law, it's more of a suggestion.

With everything closed what would you be able to do anyway?

All the streets around here became eerily quiet at 9p last night. Friday night and the main drag was all but deserted.

YEP! We've been doing it for almost a month now.

People who ignore the problem risk contracting and/or spreading. It's not a matter of freedom, it's a matter of health and self preservation.

It's not the boomers who are the biggest problem.

I already am.

I am 71 years old and I don't want the Coronavirus. Maybe you want it but I don't.

Both teams have to do it. They voted for it.

It's sooooooo carefree being an anarchist.
