As for Biden, he has repeatedly said he would not shut down the country, so this whole discussion is revolving around a lie which Trump-Russia campaign keeps promoting.

She's looking over her shoulder now that those nutcases were busted who were going to kidnap her.

I'm sure tons of poor Trump supporters are on welfare as well, lots of poor white folks out there. This virus have put a lot people out of work, and it doesn't care who you support. You have no clue what Biden is going to do should he win, but what is being done now sure isn't working.

Democrats don't follow laws. When will you realize this? Whitmer in Michigan is a fine example.

The question is: CAN governors do this? Can a single man or woman suspend constitutional rights for millions of people, restricting their movements and activities to whatever extent he/she wants? Let the SCOTUS decide.
Flights were suspended for three days after 9/11.

So, yes.

It’s called martial law, you probably never heard of it but you will if Biden wins.

As long as the infrastructure exists to have food delivered to me when I want, I’m ok.
Even though I like traveling, I’m not open to putting myself and others at risk by doing so. Thankfully, I’m a programmer and can work from home for the rest of my life.

I don't think they care at the end of the day--for now.

All most Democrats and the left see are "orange man bad" and "racist" and "he's tweeting again!"

Their "normal" President they all crave, is a return to the swampy government bureaucracy and anything but "normal."

We'll have mask wearing mandated until late spring, most likely, with a Biden win. There will be more lock downs and more micro managed behavior mandates--look to California's Thanksgiving rules.

Freedom is slowly slipping away and Democrats and the left are pretty blinded to it.

There is no question, visitors and employees were bringing Covid into assisted living / Skilled nursing homes. This was not limited to the US. Sweden learned a tough lesson when they initially let it rip. Then it banned in person visiting and families observed via FaceTime, the employees had no PPE and the infection spread and killed.

It seems to me there is a lot of misplaced anger as it relates to protecting those in assisted living/ skilled nursing centers. What was/ is the alternative? Can’t imagine most people want to be the adult child who infected their elderly parent.

Some people made decisions to remove their elderly parent from assisted living/ skilled nursing home and bring their parent into their own home. That is not desirable or practical for all families.
