WRONG! in WWII people could go out, go the park, kids could play with each other, people could gather in church, get a haircut, see a movie, kids were still in school. The government through rationing ensured that people could still get what they needed to live, no mobs hoarding every scrap of toilet paper, ransacking the meat sections, etc. We had to sacrifice in WWII, but it was a controlled, measured sacrifice for an actual purpose. Sure, there were problems like the Japanese Internment atrocity, but most people weren't just locked in their houses like we are now.
They had bigger problems like if their husbands or sons would come home from war.
The rationing was forced because people could/would not do it on their own. We would not tolerate government ration "stamps" now.
You can see a movie on Netflix, cable, etc, which is what most of us do anyway and fortunately we are able to have a church sermon or classrooms online. It could be a lot worse.
I’m sick of hearing this. Everyone accepted the threat of the Japanese and the Germans in WW2. The country sacrificed because it needed to be done. This is not the same thing. We disagree on what level of threat this is, we conservatives believe this shutdown is a dangerous overreaction. I find it laughable that leftist even say this because most blue haired snowflakes would have hid under their bed in 1941. We are not backing your claims this is doomsday because we don’t believe you. We see a political plot and we see the media directing a politically motivated panic.
While some hand wringing anxiety proned alarmist repeatedly tell us this is the new Black Death, many Americans reject the message. What do the rest of us see? Overreaction, dangerousl harm time the economy and political motivation. Possibly even a socialist plot to ruin capitalism in order to bring about socialism. Comrade Newsom in californication land even said this is a great opportunity for a new “progressive” era.
These folks up in Michigan are patriots standing up for our rights. If this does not stop soon the people will open the country back up by the hundreds of thousands. Those advocating shutdowns are overwhelmingly left wing democrats.
Everyone is entitled to his own opinion, but not to his own facts.
The lockdown was never really followed.........and thankfully, it is fading away.
So when Trump declares this virusteria nonsense over on May 1st, it won't be over with a bang, because for most of the country, it has pretty much faded into a pitiful joke.

Right wingers on every single issue if I don't see it, it's not a problem. If I'm not directly affected by it...it's not a problem.
Why did they need guns to protest? Because they are a bunch of ignorant, unintelligent rubes. You might not like that, but there is absolutely no other reason for the guns but to showcase their ignorance in thinking their guns will somehow fix the situation at hand. Seems pretty stupid to me. Tell me another reason for them to be brandishing weapons, if you are able.
lol - Well, sis, you just had to show your ignorance and bigotry again, didn't you? What seems stupid to the rest of us is your inability to understand that they have a basic right to carry there guns whenever and wherever, and are not required to justify that to you. Afaik they didn't shoot anybody.
Again, they are protecting your rights as an American. You should be thanking them
Almost 40% of the deaths in America are located in New York because of the many travelers that state sees, they live on top of each other and travel in filth when they ride that disgusting subway.
Is anyone here really surprised that New York state would be hit hard? If you were was it because government didn't tell you what to think because you cannot think for yourself?
