Say “enough is enough”? Or still just gladly accept it?
"Here's a scenario I dreamt up in my head and you're the bad guys in it, so defend yourself!" Sorry, your daydreams aren't something that the rest of us have to take seriously.
What is the point? Lots of reps think the dems want this to be permanent? How does that benefit anyone? It's not good for the economy, education, taxes, mental health. Making it permanent makes no sense. It should be for the shortest time possible for the maximum benefit.
Exactly. Some people just don't think, lol. No politician benefits from this. If anything, just the opposite. Nobody wants these lockdown/restriction measures.
Get off your high horse. You people are constantly advocating destroying businesses and livelihoods to protect some X % of people. When do you start giving a sh*t about the damage your policies are causing others?
I do in fact care. Would have liked to see some effective Europe-style government intervention, but we can't do that - that's socialism, ooga booga. I guess that in my optics, the lives of people count more than my stock portfolio - your mileage obviously varies.
And - of course - if the plague rats stay on the trajectory, we'll overload the hospitals, and see some proper systematic breakdown spillover into disease treatment in general - and that will blow up the economy way more efficiently. But no one is going to tell a proper red-blooded American to cancel Thanksgiving, now, are they?
But hey, there are business opportunities in this new world you're trying to build.
See? Bunch of iPads being prepped for virtual ICU end-of-life visits. This is the world you're building.

That X amount of people could include loved ones. Mine and yours.
And as for businesses. Your right. They needed help. Some systems could have been put into place for them to survive. Sadly most of it went to corporations and special interests.
Fun fact. There are still deaths from the flu despite a vaccine
For 80% of people who catch it, it's even milder than the common cold - they get no symptoms.
Think you might have inverted the percentage.
80% of asymptomatic people who test positive develop symptoms. Therefore, it may be more precise to say, pre- symptomatic than asymptomatic.
20% do not report any symptoms.
Those under age 40 tend to experience mild to no symptoms. Those age 40+ almost always experience symptoms. There is a huge range of symptoms between asymptomatic and death.
Those experiencing no- mild symptoms are more likely to ignore the need to self quarantine.
I know it's scary Wondering about the future but I have full faith in our elected leaders to see us through life.
I have read so many of your posts with amusement, but this one made me laugh out loud.
