Agreed, what a clueless statement.

My age bracket must work to age 67 for full Social Security benefits, many many 60 and over people still working fully and needing the work.

People that go out for non essential purposes are keeping the virus alive and helping to make it easier to spread and in effect endangering their fellow Americans. Their selfish actions have consequences for many more than just themselves.

That's the advice my health care relatives and good friends have given me and my family.

So, I'll go with that.

Time to reopen things and let folks go about their living.
And my BIL is a nurse and says otherwise, I guess my nurse cancels yours?
I realize that this is a new virus so nothing is really hard and fast concerning the spread of the virus, but I believe I'll put my faith in the folks who study these things for a living over the unproven opinions of any local healthcare professionals.

The point being that they don't care about anyone who is working's economic harm because they have a flow of money coming in. Better than the rest of us who do not.

No I encourage you “tough guys” to go out and don’t listen to the government and don’t put on any masks either since this isn’t a big deal and you’re not a snowflake.

I hear if you have the flag in one hand and a picture of Trump in another the virus can’t harm you.

I see the opposite going on...people may be whining and crying about it, but they are obedient and compliant in general.


I dont expect many people at all to be non compliant and risk being arrested or thrown in jail, people just are not that willing to take actions like this anymore, (compared to past history anyway).

People want different things in life. Some need much more, some need much less.
