Wait until the schools open. I predict they will close again within a month, if not sooner, because the spread will be uncontrollable. Just look at what's happening in the MLB, where they have daily testing and are making a concerted effort to keep the virus at bay. There are teams in which the virus is running rampant despite those measures, measures which will not be available to the schools.

Basically, until we get this totally inept administration out of office America is at the mercy of the virus. There is no turning a corner for us as long as we have a know-nothing idiot in charge.

  • Curfew between 8 p.m. and 5 a.m., residents can leave home for work, medical care and caregiving
  • Exercise outside your home: up to one hour per day.
  • Only one person in your household will be able to go out shopping each day
  • Can only travel within 5 km of your house (that's about 3 miles)

Anyone want to sign up for THIS??????

Freedom is over unless people start waking up.
Posters wanting to be prisoners? Insanity? Freedom over?

I see there are posters who are still welcoming any opportunity to cause chaos and spread disinformation and make up problems and political rabble rouse during a health crisis. Some who are determined at every turn to undermine public health officials, science experts, medical professionals and responsible governments, no matter what they do. You know, posters who deliberately try to get in the way of any effort to help stop the rapid spread of this serious new virus and the complicated disease it causes.

Who causes dissension and seeds doubt about measures to protect humanity during a global pandemic? Why do they do it?

Who? MAGAs.

Don't try to understand why. They don't know why, either. They only know that their master has set this path and they are obliged to follow.

You do not question the master. You obey. No thought necessary.

Exactly. One of my best friends is working from home until the end of the year. Ten percent of his company's workforce has Covid. Another one of their friends has practiced social distancing, worn masks, etc., but got in the car with an elderly parent. That's the only time they were in close quarters with him. He got Covid. Another one of their friends is in her 90s, suffering from Covid for over a month. And yet people still don't want to take the measures necessary to try and bring it under control. I actually think many places, especially in the US, are beyond hope of that happening.

It's obviously a hoax to take out President Trump (at least, that seems to be extreme right wing claim on all this).

A city in Australia locks down--->This weakens Trump--->Profit!

What I think is funny is President Trump's tweet that the news didn't report this. A quick Google search shows all the media reporting it.

No dice.

You weren't free prior to March 15th.

Quit lying about it.

Dems remain stupid and uninformed.
US law prevents Trump from declaring a general lock down. It was up to each individual state. He began advising states to lock down On March 11. He was legally able to halt international trade and did so.

The first US death had occurred on Feb 29th.

Freedom is over? Actually you're temporarily robbed of your freedom when you don't feel like exercising it when sick with the virus, or permanently robbed of your freedom when you die from the virus. Why fight to be free to be more vulnerable to catching the virus?
