Let these buffoons go ahead and get infected, just stay away from the rest of us who are smart enough to stay safe, even if it is temporarily inconvenient.
Deadly virus? It's not a deadly virus to nearly everyone who catches it.

Living in society/communities -- I will always pay some kind of price for the idiots.


It's humanity.
People have a right to hang out with other people.

Who cares?
You do not have the right to demand people be confined to their homes. Yes, there are way more people infected. That's the whole point. Most people do not even have symptoms. It's no where near as deadly as those seizing up all the power want the regular people to believe.

The issue is the level of lockdown by individual cities and states. Some have made what are considered to be more modest forms of stay at home orders while others have become Nazi SS like in power and scope. Those city and state leaders who use a more sensible approach are t seeing the level of protest like in other cities and states with more draconian measures. Someone fishing alone, paddle boarding alone, or other outdoor activities should not be treated like criminals. Places of worship who wish to remain open for services should have restrictions placed upon them such as a reduction in occupancy for example. Some places of worship have made voluntary measures to protect those who still wish to attend services if they choose to remain open.

I wonder how long before police in some cities or states are ordered to stop people to “check their papers”.

Cannot buy food without money. Cannot pay bills without money. Cannot buy lifesaving medications without money. Mass starvation will kill more people than the virus ever will.

The vast majority of Americans are brainwashed sheeple that can't think their way out of a fart cloud due to sleep walking through their 60 or 70 years of existence here on the earth.

End the SAH orders but wear a face mask everywhere.
Or why be required to wear the mask if there's a SAH order? Admitting the masks don't help?

This is an experiment to see how easy it is to control the dumb populace.

In some places people are stopped to check for a paper from their employers to see if they are essential workers.

The masks don't really protect against the virus transmission. If the virus can get through the masks from one way then how are the masks going to keep the virus from spreading from the other way?

It is very easy to control the people.

People do want to go out.

When the food supply gets seriously messed up then people will go without food. That should scare people a lot more than a virus that doesn't even cause symptoms in most people who are infected.

And millions of them don't even qualify for relief other than maybe the stimulus check.
