People are having parties at private homes. Essentially, they’re speakeasies. There’s no real way to stop those types of gatherings.

The rapid rise of covid is due to speakeasies??? Really? Are we in the 1920s and not 2020s?

Not real old-times speakeasies, but with bars and restaurants closed/limited in capacity/forced to stop serving alcohol after 10 pm (depending on where you are), a lot of people, especially younger people, are socializing more in their homes.

We went to dinner in DC with friends in Friday, but since there is a 6 person limit at tables, some people couldn’t come. But, those people joined us at our house afterwards for drinks. There may be some limit on social gatherings in DC, but it’s unenforceable. Even if the police were to show up, I wouldn’t let them into my house without a warrant.

PP unclear on the concept of infectious disease^^^

No, I understand the concept. My wife and several family members have already had covid. It’s just that we’ve decided we accept the risk of what we’re doing.

Unfortunately you've also decided that everybody you come into contact with accepts that risk, and everybody that they come into contact with, and...

If people are uncomfortable with the risks of interacting with other folks, they can stay home.

I can only make risk assessments for myself and my family. Unlike so many control freaks in the DC area, I don’t presume to try and make decisions for other people.

This is an example of a govt. official taking an action that will have no impact whatsoever on containing the virus but he can say he is doing something.

I am sure law enforcement will be thrilled to enforce this curfew. /s

It's just dumb, but Northam has not proven himself to be a strong, intelligent leader so it is unsurprising.

What happens if I get pulled over driving my car past midnight? Arrested and thrown into a cell?

You won’t get pulled over. There will be no enforcement.

Anyway, all you have to say is that you’re heading to a grocery store or pharmacy, which are exempt from the curfew.

the curfew is a whole lot of nothing. It's pointless.

Unfortunately, your cavalier, devil-may-care attitude about this is one of the reasons we have an uncontrolled spread right now. It's sad that you won't do your part to help out your fellow denizens.

Not the PP, but how does making risk assessments for yourself and your family translate to, “devil may care?” Anyhow, go ahead and save the world, you’re better than the rest of us. Praise be and glory to you.

I'm with PP. everyone is responsible for themselves. You don't feel safe? Stay home! It's totally not logical for you to claim my freedoms when it does not impact you at all. Truly it doesn't. Whether I am sick or not, it's entirely my problem and if I'm willing to risk getting sick, you have no say about it. I'm not impacting anyone who isn't out there taking a risk by being out themselves. This whole control thing people have for others - it's a bit too far. The government shouldn't have this much control. All the people screaming about how they detest socialism and communism needs to look in the mirror - a true democratic state is about owning your own actions. You don't wanna get sick? You stay home and that's all you can do.

We need more than a curfew.
We need stay-at-home orders.

One does not naturally follow the other.

If you're scared, then stay home. Don't bring the rest of society down with you.

The problem is the rest of you are too damn stupid and selfish to voluntarily stay home as well. And because you don’t, people keep getting infected and spreading it to other stupid and selfish people - like you - who also won’t stay home.

So if you won’t do what’s right, and in your own best interest voluntarily, then you need to be forced to. I’m hoping we get a SAH order that has jail as a penalty for violating it. Because that’s the only thing that will keep you stupid *****ets home - the fear of going to jail and being some big Black man’s b!tch in the shower.

If everyone would’ve just stayed home for 3 weeks in April, this would’ve been over by May. But thanks to you and your dumbass president, we now have like 8,000 people a day dying.

Mmmm, yes, "too damn stupid and selfish to voluntarily stay home as well." I own a small business that provides essential services, and I've been taking all health precautions seriously since March. If I voluntarily stayed home, it WOULD be too damn stupid and selfish because I wouldn't be able to house, feed, and support my children. There are millions of Americans in this predicament. Some are financially better off than others, but our professions/jobs don't grant us the luxury of locking ourselves up in our houses and firing off nasty and ignorant messages on social media.

Oh, and furthermore - I happily voted for Biden in November.

You clearly need some help to work through some serious anxiety issues.

Exactly no one believes a smarmy sounding prick like you voted for Joe.

Nice try, troll. You’re a *****et all the way. Your reckless disregard for the live of others in the name of paying your mortgage is all the proof anyone needed. We saw right through you.

I do hope you seek some help. Quickly.

I do hope you do the same, you sociopath.

Call me whatever name you wish. If you think your vulgar name calling has an impact on me, you’re wrong; they just bounce off. With that said, you have a lot of anger that’s misdirected and needs to be addressed...

...or, you’re just troll.

You are responding to more than one person. I have called you no "vulgar" names, only a sociopath, which you are.

Glad we could clear that up.

[Anonymous]

You ever notice how when someone has lost an argument they break out the word “troll” in their posts?

Anyhow, yes, the curfew is a whole lot of nothing as a prior poster said. It makes the politicians feel good about themselves when they were mostly helpless until now. Now, it is all about efficient vaccine dispersion. Logistics, logistics, logistics.

+1

I just do not get it. How can someone believe that their actions have no impact on anyone but themselves?

Maybe if we had an infinite supply of hospital beds, nurses, doctors, ambulances, medicine, etc., then I could tolerate someones casual attitude towards this virus.

I am with you. There should essentially only be 2 protocols...First, stay away from me and I will stay away from you. Second, I will wear a mask when I'm within 6 feet of everyone and you do the same. If you aren't within 6 feet of anyone, then take the mask off and smile.

If that is too much to ask, then just stay home. Conversely, if you are scared of your shadow, then just stay home as well. Pretty simple. Meaningless curfews and "suggestions" are just political fodder for the wacko fringe elements by politicians looking for an angle to exploit.

Because the risks the PP and their family takes are likely not risks that everyone with which PP and their family interacts are okay with.

And thanks, I'll keep doing my part. Disappointed to hear over and over that others aren't doing theirs.

My main issues with these orders are that the authorities won’t enforce them. What is the point of even proclaiming a curfew? What is the point of having orders limiting gathering if they won’t be enforced and people are scared of reporting on their others blatantly violating rules in the open?

Local and state leaders need to just sh!+ or get off the pot.
