Suing for every little thing is a huge reason why so many things are fricked up in this country

Which states? California? Louisiana? Or do you mean Florida and Texas?

Or we could look at New York. Where they basically let it run its course while doing the worst possible thing for the elderly and now it's basically "gone" or at least everyone is celebrating a day with no deaths.

You keep parroting this line. As if government reaction proves anything. I will ask again for you to post stats and links as evidence that this "pandemic" is worth the response.

And You honestly have that much faith in government? That's pathetic. And scary.

I'd assume it's tied to federal funding of industries and Healthcare and has nothing at all to do with their fear of the virus.

Hard, Republican, Trump-supporting governments


Trump is a centrist classic limousine Democrat. The democrats have just become such psychotic Leftest their centrists aren't welcome anymore.

And I'm not sure what political affiliation has to do with this.

why are they changing so drastically if there is nothing to fear?

The federal government is printing and handing out money link candy.

If human history has proven anything it's that people in power will choose money and power over anything else regardless of facts and common sense.

See Asian Flu and Hong Kong Flu. These are the comparable pandemics at the moment. Any comparisons to Spanish Flu is dumb at this point.

There is? What's the demonstrable danger to the 5-60 age range?

Yes. Allowing people to interact more will lead to more cases. This is common sense and I don't know why people are shocked and freaking out over it happening especially with the riots/protests along with July 4th and beaches opening. This is expected and leaders should have been open about it and planned accordingly for the pushback.

It certainly is a factor.

This is the biggest flaw is the “flatten the curve” crowd. Until there is a vaccine, spikes and outbreaks will continue to happen.

This also plays into people’s arguments about not opening schools. You know parents are going to send their kids to school no matter what symptoms they are showing.

At every level. The knee jerk reactions. The overreactions. The under/overselling of what we knew/know. It's all bullshite.

where i'd say we could cut our deaths in half and it's still pretty much the worst virus we've had to deal with since the Spanish flu


100,000 cut in half is less than two of the Flu seasons since 2015 according to your own numbers

i agree, which is why i'm not advocating shutting down but people take very slight, inexpensive steps of personal responsibility

like wearing a mask. there aren't many things less costly than that

obviously, including in this is, not sending a kid who has been directly exposed (over a long period of time) to a public function
