regulating interstate commerce is like making people wear masks? and you are quoting a case from the 1890s? you fricktard.


Well that's how Supreme Court cases work "fricktard". But I wouldn't expect you to know what legal precedent is... You also seem to have conveniently ignored the second case I mentioned.
quote:

well it is.


Well it's not. See Gibbons v. Ogden, Compagnie Francaise de Navigation a Vapeur v. Louisiana Board of Health, etc. Try doing even the slightest bit of research before speaking...

quote:

why should people care about other people.


Because we live in a society... Please, by all means, feel free to live somewhere else.
quote:

You are not protecting yourself by wearing a cloth mask.


It's not meant to. It's meant to help reduce the chance of a sick person spreading disease to other people...

quote:

That is one of the reasons hospitals no longer use cloth mask.


Hospitals absolutely still use surgical masks...
quote:

Oh, that’s rich coming from your kind.


Oh? And what exactly is my kind? I'd be very interested to hear your in-depth and extremely accurate analysis...
quote:

What part of “my body, my choice” do you statists not understand?


When the subject is dealing with the spread of disease it's not just your body, but you do have a choice. Don't wear a mask; you don't get to be a customer. Congrats! Your pointless stubbornness has only affected you.

quote:

I don’t care what makes you feel safe. That’s not my concern.


I wouldn't expect you to be the type of person to care for others unless it benefited you in some way :lol:
quote:

Exactly, it’s not about the cost of the mask or the inconvenience. Some people just like to say no.


Exactly. These types of people want all of the benefits of living in a society but don't want any of the personal responsibility that comes with it.
quote:

You must be a real pussy if you think my position is something only someone with a "badass" complex would have.


No, your position is that of someone who thinks it's somehow an egregious violation of your civil liberties to be made to do something that's meant to help protect people. You don't care about people's health. This isn't even about wearing a mask or not. It's simply about the fact that your fragile ego can't handle that you're being told to do something by someone else. If they required you to not wear a mask you'd say you wanted to wear a mask. You're the same type of person who screams "UNCONSTITUTIONAL" or "ILLEGAL" anytime the government requires you to do anything that you don't like.
quote:

I just don’t understand why it’s such a dealbreaker.


It's a deal breaker because he's the type of person who believes that anytime he's made to do anything by anyone it's unconstitutional and a violation of his civil liberties :lol:.
quote:

This invasive invasion of our basic civil liberties is intolerable.


You seem to not understand the power that the Federal and State governments actually legally have. Nothing the government has done is illegal, unconstitutional, or a violation of your "basic civil liberties"...
quote:

the “medical experts” are telling us 4% of people that get coronavirus will die. Nevermind they don’t have nearly enough data to properly make that claim accurately, time to shut everything down to stop the spread of this deadly virus.


Medical experts didn't say 4% of people would die, they said that the data at the time showed a 4% mortality rate, which it did... The fact that that might be coming down is great news, but they made the right call based on the data they had. Very easy for a keyboard warrior like you to criticize people who have to make actual tough decisions that could save or cost lives.

quote:

the “medical experts” ended up being very wrong about the mortality rate, and we’ve ruined tens of millions of people’s lives because of it. Oh well, they were just acting on the best information they had at the time. No big deal.


The economy will recover quickly once this is over; people can't get their lives back.
quote:

Mortality rate


Well mortality rate changes as more testing is done. This being a new virus, it would be extremely difficult to predict even for experts.
quote:

Who've been very wrong about this.


In what way?
quote:

And if you wait for a vaccine you’ll be waiting forever. And the only way to quicken herd immunity is to open up. So why wait?


You're right that a vaccine is a long way away. I'm not saying that we can't start opening up some things. I'm saying that the people who are suggesting we just open everything back up and go back to normal are morons who don't know how this stuff works.

For most diseases it takes between 80-95% of the population to be producing antibodies for herd immunity to be achieved. 80% of Louisiana's population is 3.7 million people and there are roughly 15k staffed hospital beds in the state. With the current 6% hospitalization rate in the state that's over 200k hospitalizations to reach that 80%. Now those obviously won't be all at once but you want to spread those cases out as much as possible so the healthcare system isn't overwhelmed. Which is why restrictions are still needed.
Are you suggesting we don't test those people? What the frick is wrong with you? You might want to brush up on your WWII history as well...
quote:

Slow the spread. Save lives. Flatten the curve so everything can go back to normal.


Well seeing as you don't understand either I'll explain it for you. Flattening the curve only works if the curve stays flat or starts to decline after. Easing restrictions too early can cause it to spike again, just look at Hokkaido in Japan. The curve needs to be flattened until one of two things happens. Either a vaccine is created or some sort of herd immunity can be achieved. Neither of those have happened yet.
quote:

Umm, yeah he does? Were you replying to someone else?


Maybe I replied to the wrong person... But the person I was trying to reply to seemed to think that because the spread is currently slowed that everything is fine now and everything can go back to normal, which is not the case.
quote:

There’s two groups who are wholeheartedly backing this hysteria and farce:
The first is much more sinister and malicious. They’re the OMB statists and globalists who hope for the destruction of America if it means their party and movement benefits.
quote:

People who are still in favor of the shut down
A. Have a meaningless job
B. Are Lazy
C. Work for the government (mostly A&B combined)


D. People who take the advice of medical experts (who spend their entire lives dealing with this stuff) seriously.
quote:

Uh..that's EXACTLY how this works....we shut the damn country down to not overwhelm the healthcare system. Period.
Its not overwhelmed. Open it up.!


You may not have COVID-19 but you evidently have a medical condition...
