We Don't Need Another "Hero".

I don't need any explanation kl.
And I don't need big business reminders that we're being made to collectively relinquish our rights and yet small businesses stay shut which could probably regulate social distance requirements better than a mega mart equivalent. And will do more for the masses in the log term.
Or to be told that deaths are amount x but includes flu and pneumonia as corona deaths to help add seriousness to a virus which seems to be controllable..
Repeatedly I ask people about their corona experience And have asked people in 3 continents and 4 regions of the world. And every single one of them does not know a single person who has died from it. Only 2 including 1 guy on here who is a known regular have claimed to have had it and confirmed. My wife is a nurse and they haven't had a single confirmed case with a few dozen suspected,,my pharmacist doesn't know a single customer or their families that has had it.
So personally I cant verify the veracity of it being anything extraordinary that distancing and common sense wont be able to beat. At this point you are either unlucky or stupid if you get ill from it. There must be alot of filthy pigs in new York city.

Did you keep that link on the bushfire royal commission?

God is punishing the blue states and their pro-Communist voters.

No. No He's not. I'm a Christian and a conservative, but do not claim to speak for God ever. If you believed in Him, you'd know not to do that.

I certainly do and how nice for you have an opinion. Thanks for sharing.

Not an opinion, but a statement of fact. God is not punishing "blue" states at all... it's an absurd statement that makes Christians look like idiots.

All god are imaginary but thanks for attempting to put him in his place. If he actually believes his "god" id doing such things he is the type who wants a Christian Middle East

If you actually read the bible and compare it to the Koran there isn't much different at all and they do respect Jesus as a profit.

No. You're as wrong completely as he was on that minor point. I do actually read the Bible and Jesus is God the Son, not merely a "prophet". Koran will get some things right being that Ishmael was Isaac's half brother. But it features Allah who is a false God, not just another name for the one True God of the Bible.

So yes, all "gods" are imaginary, but God is not. You'll know this one day. Hopefully sooner rather than too later.

Oh no, the same old tired fear tactic. I choose to believe in Spiderman I have read the books and seen him in real life on TV

And I can go to New York city

Where is Gods Universe Factory??

No fear tactic at all. None.

Just facts. He is real. And one day you will bow. You choose the lie as you're expressing, then fine.

But since you have nothing of value to add but mockery, you're blocked.

Ah, you always ignore science. Those states and countries that didn't institute the clearly unnecessary lockdowns have no statistical difference in cases or mortality. It's a failure. SD didn't help yet you keep parroting the lies of the left.

Whether social distancing works or not. I doubt someone suggesting it's continued use constitutes weaponising it. Is it not saying that it does do something positive to say it should continue for now?

Besides for the peace of mind, of those with greater fears of catching the virus it is needed to continue anyway. Otherwise they may well become a collateral damage of reopening. Who knows if these same people will take their own lives because their fear is so strong and they see no end in sight because people are not wearing ppe in public.

Yes, we're all under house arrest together, whether you like it or not. That's not the point of the meme at all and clearly you don't understand English.

The point is that while we're all unnecessarily suffering together, don't run commercials telling us how great it is when of course it's not. It's not effective for the virus (as true science shows), it's not effective for the economy (local, national, or global). it's a big fubar.

Don't serve me a turd sandwich and try to make it seem better talking about how smooth and creamy it is (or chunky as the case may be).

Month long house arrest without a warrant, agreed. I'm busting out.

Nobody gives a shit what you are doing under house arrest.

You get one right. Military is not socialism. It's the only one you mentioned that's covered in the Constitution. Education, not a right. Free Health Care (it's never free) is not a right. Social Security? Not a right.

Education should left to the states, not the Feds. Clearly.

Health Care we already have the best in the world. And free if you cannot afford it. But your issue isn't with health care, but health insurance... and insurance is what made affordability more of an issue, not less. We need LESS insurance, more people paying out of pocket and prices will go down. Common sense. Catastrophic policies only, not go to the doctor for free for a cold or the (gasp) flu.

Social Security is a failure and NEEDS to be privatized accounts. That's very evident.

Adultery IS wrong and never stopped being so. Trump was wrong if he did so (and he probably did). One of the reasons I didn't vote for him. But the GOP is the ones who expose and oust their members who cross the lines. The DEMS are the ones who protect them. Tara Reade anyone?

Crickets.

I went to a restaurant yesterday and sat down and was waited on. It was lovely as the house arrest is finally being loosened -- since science is settled it was a wasted effort.

Those owning a small business are. Many of those working in the government deemed "unessential" businesses are.

We're under lockdown or house arrest. We're not under quarantine as the majority are not sick and that's reserved for the sick.

Science (and logic) disagree with your nonsense. It's not spread farther or faster here than other countries. We've done better and more testing and REVEALED more of the spread than other countries did. But just like a regular flu (as this is mimicking even though it's not just LIKE the flu, its behaviors and patterns are similar), most get it and fight it off without ever noticing they had it. Several studies have revealed this to be the case.

Nope, the lockdown was a knee jerk reaction that was 100% a failure at doing anything against the spread and most likely WILL cause a later spike not due to reopening early, but due solely to the lunacy of the lockdown in the first place... as people stay inside and failed to let their immune systems work as God designed. So with their wrongly weakened immune systems, many will be ripe to the virus later. So much for your weak "public safety" argument.

So yep, the lockdown was a huge mistake and all science supports that.

So stop and minimize the collateral damage. Open immediately and quit lying and telling us that "this is for the good of all" and "it's great we're suffering together"

Clearly it's not.

No, we haven't been doing more testing than other countries. We've been begging allies like South Korea for test kits. You're just wrong on this point.

I hope Covid-19 isn't as deadly as we first thought, and some antibody tests are now suggesting that, but I believe the experts are saying that data isn't yet firm enough to base public health decisions on.

As for the economy, and the inherent unfairness of these lockdowns: Oh, I get it. Some businesses have been hit harder than others, for sure. I'm not exactly thrilled that the small neighborhood retail businesses I walk past every day don't get to stay open, while giant ones like Target do.

I shopped at Target to pick up supplies early on during the quarantine and took note of the fact they were taking literally zero social distancing precautions. That was in stark contrast to Trader Joe's. I memed about it above.

Any business lucky enough to be deemed "essential" during this crisis, and profiting as a result, should be implementing socially responsible distancing measures. It's really not that hard or expensive to do.

And obviously, Amazon and other big online retailers are making a killing at this time.

We can't endure lockdowns forever, that much is certain. When and how to re-open our economy is going to be tricky. Doing it the wrong way and causing hundreds of thousands or millions of deaths as a result isn't a humanitarian solution and won't be great for the economy, either.

Disease, Viruses, hell even the common cold is mother natures attempt at thinning the heard. Natural Disasters included
