I suggest the unemployed find essential jobs.
I haven't left the apartment since March 15th. Even when things "open up" since I work from home I still don't have to leave if I don't want to.

And with that in mind I will be cautious.

But that's me. That's my right.

Those who want to go out and do whatever...that is their right.

Individual rights are paramount. If this whole thing has taught us anything it's that forced collectivism really is an abject failure.

How folks didn't know that already is beyond me though.

Ballony, work next to BI and it is pretty calm. Just another drama queen spreading rumor to advance their lazy agenda.

I don't get social security. But nice try. And when I do, I'm the one who paid into what I get, not you. You sound like a politician, that social security and Medicare are from the government. You may want to educate yourself. They're called entitlements for a reason. I'm entitled to what I paid in.

Yes, but all of those people that I would be interacting with, are people who CHOOSE to go out and take that risk. So, I ask again, how does that hurt people who CHOOSE to remain hidden at home?

Problem is they have been indoctrinated by the left wing school system and media for decades.

But alas, the baker must bake the gay wedding cake.
Say there are two people in a coffee shop. Both are in their 40s, going about their business, working, getting a coffee. No 60 year old in there. But one of those 40 somethings catches the virus from somebody else in the shop and brings it home to their isolating elderly relative or to one of their children or a spouse. What then?

How is that my problem? When did I become the insurer of YOUR health.

I conclude from this you don’t know many doctors and nurses. That is such a misrepresentation of reality. Most doctors and nurses are sitting home because elective medical procedures have been deemed non essential.
