They BEGGED for it. It's scary. People are so easy to live in fear instead of simply taking time to research things. It's baffling to me.
Oh my yes. The entire world is wrong! All those scientists and Drs. Have no clue ! Reality is- togetherness is bad news if you have an infectious disease. We closed our doors - because we were not prepared for a pandemic. We were warned - ahh but what do scientists know ??? Right ?
People we need to be smart about this. It's a pandemic and we need to shut the economy down right now in order for this virus to die down. Then we can start reopening things. Because if we reopen things too soon a second wave is going to start happening and then that will shut down the economy again so we need to do it right once. So we don't have to keep shutting down the economy. That is a smart thing to do but people are very anxious so they are suggesting stupid crap.
Actually, it's only older people in less than good health who need to keep shut down. If they refuse to do so and there is a 2nd wave with once again large numbers of them dying, it will be their damned fault.
We've had zero waves here in Taiwan, zero lockdowns, zero shutdowns and, today, for the second day in a row, zero cases of coronavirus nationwide. It's been over a month since anyone here died of coronavirus.
On the other hand 95% of us willingly wear face masks -- which are in ample supply because the government made sure of that early on -- everywhere we go.
It seems like a small price to pay for normalcy and victory over the coronavirus.
Aren't all large gatherings such as concerts and games canceled?

The old people can’t resist the stress on their bodies -and they die- but the young get extremely ill. You should search some of the ones that lived to tell you their stories- they come very close to dying. Some younger people are trying to tough it out at home and get massive strokes. Facts

You should search out the statistics. Over 95% had an underlying condition and over 90% of deaths were over age 60. Facts.
The same way it would be violated by requiring me to hop or sing show tunes or wear clown makeup when entering. How is anyone’s right violated by me not wearing one? If you’re scared, then you stay home.
So you're saying that a business has to allow every single member of the public in?
It so happens I agree with you, but I am surprised to hear this from a member of the party that gets upset over gay wedding cakes.
Why should people have to stay home if masks can help prevent spread of disease? If you don't like a store policy to wear a mask, then you can stay home or go to another store. Any business can refuse your business if you don't follow their policy. Where I live, masks are required now and no mask, no service.
Wear a mask if it makes you feel better. It's ineffective and just theater for the sheeple. I'm not modifying my behavior so you sleep better at night. So you wear a mask while shopping and I don't. We both get what we came for and go home happy... well, you're clutching your pearls a bit tightly, but stop worrying about what I'm doing.

No, that's not how it works. A business open to the public must accommodate the public. Wearing masks is not part of the normal behavior and certainly not expected nor mandated by anyone with the authority to do so. If he's a Muslim and has strong feelings about it, must my wife wear a headrag and walk six paces behind me while in the store? He can make it a private club and then exclude anyone he wants afterwards.

No, a business can enforce a dress code. Some require suits and ties. Some require masks.
I can tell people they are too ugly to be in my store. Ugly ain’t a protected class nor are bare faced idiots.
2nd wave will bring in 300k to 750k new cases then will we will have shut for the new wave to. If you though 4 or 5 weeks shutdown was way to long then get ready for a shut down that last 3 1/2 month if you like it or not. Now if the USA would have locked down like 40% tighter then you could reopen some time in June. May is to early to reopen no state has had a decent number of cases drop yet a few states are increase rapidly.
