re: For all the supporters of losing rights due to a cough

I just want to know if he has a breaking point, or if he will stat consistent and we will keep telling people the govt is right and the experts on this

Moss seems pretty reasonable, I doubt he hopes or is wishing we will be shut down any extended period of time.

---

I didnt saying he is wishing. I am simply asking if he will still be listening to the govt if they keep extending the lock downs

quote:

Will you support shutting down until end of may if govt tells you?

---

It would depend on what the data said at that point, but it would be difficult for me to support a complete shutdown like we have now.

End of June?

I can't think of a scenario where I would support this unless there is some crazy mutation that makes the virus deadlier.

End of July?

Not being rude, but does your brain inherently keep trusting the govt is making the right decision, or will you eventually disagree at some point?

I'm inherently anti-government and I wish there was some other way to combat this spread without government intervention. But even with a tremendous amount of government intervention, people still don't take it seriously or are too stupid to comply with really easy spread-reduction techniques. I'm sure I'm not alone noticing that half the people in a grocery store are incapable of staying six feet apart from one another even though it's incredibly easy.

This falls under one of those rare categories where government intervention is necessary.

I do agree it is a balancing act.

I do, plenty. As a family we're taking care of them, making their groceries and whatever else we can do to help them stay sane and isolated. I am still seeing more people than most (trying to salvage my job) and im staying away from the ones at risk.

I get it, none of this is very complicated. It is extremely frustrating that we have to live with these sweeping policies that people are demanding becuase they think the government can protect them from a contagious virus. They'd rather uncle sam do it than do it themselves, and I'm bleeding my savings because of it.

I gotcha.

My issue isn't my breaking point necessarily. My wife and I both are working. But i know hundreds of workers and business people who are at the very end of their ropes at the present time. Lots of folks haven't had a paycheck in weeks and the can't sustain this.

What would not listening to them entail for him in your mind?

But why?

Not being a smartass, but you are talking down to anyone for "disagreeing with experts"

---

First, I'm not talking down to people for "not agreeing with the experts." In order to disagree with someone, you first have to comprehend what they are saying and the vast majority of people in this country are incapable of that (on all sides.) I'm talking down to people who have passionate opinions but don't understand the first thing that are saying.

So I dont see why you can see yourself disagreeing with the experts going forward

Like I said, its a balancing act. Plus, the question is difficult because a lot of things are going to change this week, next week, etc.

If Louisiana is on the farside of the curve by the end of April and we have a multitude of medical facilities available, plus access to rapid testing, then I would be pretty upset if we didn't repoen non-essiental businesses with some type of social distancing limitations in place.

But, I don't know if that will be the case - I hope so.
