The government can't legally do it for you. At best they can charge a sick person with involuntarily manslaughter if they go out and get someone sick and that person dies. That's the limit of the law.

This is a fine example of the modern Libertarian/Conservative mindset. It's "I only worry about me, because f**k you."

Notice the word choices: "scared of" which implies that some aren't afraid and will continue to go about their normal daily lives.

It's not just "are you scared of COVID-19" it's being proactive and stopping the spread.

Stay home.

If you get it, you will likely survive it. But what about all the people you spread it to? Will they? And they people they infect in turn?

It's not about you. It's about being a responsible person in society.

GROW THE F**K UP.

I hope you ALWAYS stay home because, the flu “could” KILL, and never drive because cars “could” KILL, and I sincerely hope you enjoy the 30% + unemployment rate and have to go to food banks and depend on handouts from your most blessed and wise and generous government overlords. This stupid, ill conceived and ill advised quarantine could be indefinite as King Fauci has said coronavirus will become seasonal.

The same people that might die, would might die from the flu or any virus. God, you’re dense.

Grow up yourself dumbazz. Get a grip and lose your inbred FASCISM that come from being such a stupid liberal.

If you get the flu and don't stay home- you're part of the problem, Bob.

In 2019, it's estimated that 12,000 to 61,000 people in the U.S. died from the flu.

Best estimate for the least amount of deaths in the U.S. from COVID-19 is 200,000.

That's literally more than 10 times the amount of deaths in the best case scenario.

A best case we are not in. There isn't enough protective equipment for medical staff. There isn't enough medical equipment for those who are infected.

Florida didn't stop a massive party where dumb kids were having coronavirus parties. The Georgia beaches are still open. That means it's EVERYWHERE now.

It's Ill-conceived because it's a response that IS WAY TOO LATE AND WAY TOO LITTLE.

But like I said. This minorly inconveniences BobParker, so f**k everyone else. Let'em die.

Did we shut down the country for the f**king flu? Ever?
No.

Thanks for making my point a$$ wipe. How many have died from the flu in the past 10 years? Maybe we should shut down all roads because we lost over a MILLION people in the last 25 years.

People losing their jobs is not an minority [sic] inconvenience you soulless troll.

Start doing some math, Bob.

If it's taken 25 years for the flu to kill 1 million people in the US, how fast will COVID-19 eclipse that if we do nothing?

Keep in mind, Trump himself said that if we have less than 200K deaths, we'll be very lucky.

The flu has an infection rate of 1.3 over a 3 day period.

Meaning 1 person who gets infected, passes the flu on to 1.3 people every day for 3 days. It has a death rate of 0.1%.

COVID-19 has an infection rate of 2.5 over 14 days. It has a death rate of 3% (worldwide, it varies in places. Like Germany has 1%, South Korea and Taiwan way less, and Italy is 10%).

We're on track with Italy and set to exceed that.

A lot of people are going to die, Bob.

A lot.

But, f**k it. Only stay home if your scared.

LOL, I have a degree in statistics, as well as an MBA and a PhD in Economics and Management.

“The sky is falling, the sky is falling” — you simple minded easily controlled and manipulated doofus. Go hide somewhere and cry yourself to sleep.

You are being manipulated and you don’t even realize it.

Over 10,000 people have died inside the US since the first case was detected in January.

Go use all that math you claim you have. Figure it out.

This is a big deal. This isn't the flu. This is serious shit.

A lot of people are going to die if we all stay home.

Many many more will die if we go back to work.

In 10 years we're going to look back and shake our heads at our over-reaction to a virus that kills fewer than the seasonal flu or malaria or auto accidents, but a few will pat themselves on the back and think they saved the world. Congratulations. You're a hero.

You are being manipulated and you don't even realize it. Worse, you endorse it.

It's like saying someone who can run a marathon in 2.5 hours is "just jogging" because ... you jogged once.
Oh, and yes, I know the difference between knowledge and wisdom. But it's difficult to have wisdom when you're an easily manipulated doofus who cannot think for himself and doesn't know how to interpret the knowledge that's available.
