Put police of every corner too. Only then will morons start wearing masks. This pandemic so easy to crush, the fact that we refuse to do so due to our own stupidity is telling, Once people can't leave the house for 2 weeks, they will accept masks. But, of course that means having POTUS that will enforce masks in the whole country. So, why talk about things that are impossible?

Yeah let's cram everyone into the grocery store during a 4 hour period so we're all standing around on top of each other for prolonged periods. No thanks.

100% this. Limited hours for grocery stores is such a dumb idea. Also I guess nurses and doctors can't get food if they're working between 8-12.

Well, there will be lines outside. Nobody will be allowed in with capacity rules. And it will make you stop running to get hot sauce very half a minute.

Stick up ahead of time and then you won’t need to go- give everyone a week to prepare before the shutdown or something. We can get rid of the virus guys! Just takes some will.

It did work.

It brought the virus from rampant community spread down to isolated, traceable and treatable cases. Sure there were secondary outbreaks here and there, but nothing on the scale of what we face here. I mean Hong Kong is freaking out about a third wave now of about 1,000 cases in the last two weeks, but that's a DAILY total for Maryland, which has a smaller population. New Zealand had a couple of cases, but they are tracing and isolating and getting it back down under control.

There is no way to get 60,000 cases a day "under control". We can crush the virus back to the level of controllable with some more radical action than what is being done now.

If we have the will to try...

You really like authoritarianism don’t you?

No, I don't. I dislike it. But, we are killing people. Fact is, stupid people need dictatorships in situations like this. Stupidity kills. We are stupid. Every country is ruled by force, democracy just calls it choosing to have rules and the police to enforce it. How are we to open schools, when people can't even wear masks? What we are seeing is that people think science is fake, virus is fake, and are killing people with their actions. Is that liberty to you?

huh? Have you not read the news about the COVID death rate?

If you REALLY cared about people dying, you would outlaw junk food, fast food restaurants and have mandatory exercise sessions every day. COVID is a small blip in terms of death. You are simply drinking the media koolaid and don't know any better.

Oh dear! Media koolaid. You are the reason people are dying. Stop voting for oranges, start voting for masks. Open your eyes to the reality of states lying, firing people, shutting people up. Blip? This is why we can't open schools, because people believe in conspiracy theories and that media is selling koolaid.

I did my job. The other states can do what they want, but they shouldn't make rules for me just because it took them a bit to get how serious this is.

Is it really that serious? The news on the low death rate doesn't make it seem that way. Same with the news of how many more people have had it than expected and the fact that almost 40% of cases are asymptomatic.

Anecdotally, a lot of people I know in the south currently have or have recently had COVID. People are taking it even less seriously now because so many people they know have had it and didn't even get that sick. It is only reinforcing the notion that this was overblown by the media.

And I’d never support this...we were told two weeks the first time and it turned into 3 months.
