The protesters don't seem to understand that. I would think that everyone is tired of staying home but if it is for the good of the country then we have to do it. Them doing this is not helping anything.

These morons out protesting are not only risking their lives, but the lives of their children, and countless others.
I wonder what part of that do they not understand.
I think this is the first time that I agree with you.

Panicking people unnecessarily?

Your wish came true, Georgia is opening up bowling alleys, hair salons and restaurants even though they don't meet Trump's guidelines.

I sure wouldn't even if I didn't find it morally repugnant, but I can't speak for the indoctrinated "don't tread on me" crowd.

JC the boat load of crap that people fall for. We were getting to the point that getting back out there was on the horizon...we could see it.

And then, all of a sudden, they're doubling down. Telling people that protesting is going to hurt more people, (wtf even is that? It's such utter bs.) Telling people that the drug that has cured many is now killing people. Telling people that they'll have to wait until "the end of the summer". Telling people that there's an "upswing" here and there.

The fact that so many of you all believe these GD lies is astounding. Because they are lies.

Of course, no one will know that for some time, because all of the useless brainwashed sheep will think it was because of a mere 6 feet.

This country is filled with idiots. People I once respected on here - falling for the same sht.

You fools want to ruin this country, well, you're going to, but you're not getting your f-en socialism, either.

Fauci didn't complain about when ACT-UP protested at his door in May 1990. ACT-UP protested the AIDS approval and trial process done by the National Institute of Allergies and Infectious Diseases. Signs included "Fauci, you're killing us." Many ACT-UP protesters were about to be taken away in handcuffs and instead Fauci let them talk to him. Fauci and the protesters had a come to Jesus moment and testing for AIDS drugs changed. Eventually we got the Cocktail which has made AIDS livable.
