Deaths that happen a day to a few days after opening up have nothing to do with opening up. Those were people who were already sick prior to opening up.

I guess she was expecting the governor to address her concern or tell her specifically what to do. LOL


I see other people, whining and crying about the restrictions, they are starting to use the words 'tyrannical' and 'unconstitutional'...and they are also asking questions...they want SOMEONE ELSE to do something about it and right the wrongs! LOL Hello...this is America...if your govt is becoming tyrannical...THAT IS UP TO THE PEOPLE TO DEAL WITH!! (its not like the FBI or CIA is going to step in and correct it).



I have no idea how the American public became this way?!
It's almost two months now. And two months will turn into three. Three will turn into four.

Yes, exactly. Out of one side of their mouths they scold the protesters claiming they are "whining" about being "inconvenienced" for a month or two while out of the other side of their mouths they are talking about getting used to the "new normal." It just shows they cannot be trusted.

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.
Yes, it's not as if things are closed down for some reason that could be protested.. some are not getting it.

You and JaneMeyer have quite similar view points. There is nothing "safety measure" about having people locked in their homes except to go to the grocery store. Their money will run out and they won't even be able to buy groceries. There's nothing safe about being forced to go without food. There's no good quality of life in having to sit at home staring at the walls or watching TV all day.

You against condoms? Kind of useless to have condoms when you're not supposed to hook up and have sex anymore because you have to stay two yards away from everyone. You against sunscreen? What's the point of sunscreen when the pools are going to be closed all summer and you can't go anywhere anyway? I guess we won't need those things for at least a few months.

Now with the weather getting nice I think we’ll see even more people ignoring. I know people already planning 4th of July BBQ’s.

What do you think?

Some people will always view government as their worst enemy. Let them protest, let them gather and spout their false rhetoric. It their lives. Of course they are facilitating the virus‘s spread but so be it. I think it’s nature’s way of a mass clean up.

They who? Are you saying that all the people you call "so-called experts" are telling lies to personally take away your rights and lie to you?

I will sell you a tin mine.

The experts tell us that there won't be a vaccine for at least a year...... maybe more.

That it may not even be possible.


What good is continuing the shutdowns another month going to do in that scenario?


How long should we cower in our homes, losing our jobs, eating up our savings , letting our businesses go under?

Are you going to stay barricaded in your home the rest of your life?
