I'm getting to the point where I don't believe any reported numbers.

Opening up helps Trump. Not opening up helps Biden.

“living” means risking your life.

Now you're believing right.

Are you a moron? Accidents, Lyme, drowning, heart attacks, falls and murder ARE NOT CONTAGIOUS! You can take whatever risks you want and it (mostly) doesn't affect others. You CAN however, infect lots of other people with SARS-CoV-2 -- even if YOU have no symptoms -- simply by choosing to be an entitled ash-hat.

Flu and norovirus (I think that's what you were trying to say, right?) have treatments available. COVID-19 does not. Your analogy is invalid.

I am sure the medical community would be surprised to hear that they are unnecessary during the COVID-19 pandemic. I don't know we are wasting PPE on them if there aren't any treatments.

Opening up is fine, but these losers who are packing into bars and having big parties and refusing to wear masks indoors are going to end up ruining it for everyone. No sense of moderation or self-control. It's like they think it's cool to be an inconsiderate jackass.

How so? Elderly and sickly aren't supposed to be taking in visitors, especially healthy visitors who are back in society.

If YOU are at risk, then get a doctors note and stay at home indefinitely if you want. Maybe there will be a vaccine or treatment some day, maybe not.

40% of Americans are obese, 10% have diabetes (and another 33% have prediabetes), almost 50% of adults have high blood pressure, 10% have chronic lung disease, 5-10% have a clotting disorder - that's a lot of people who have to "stay at home" while you selfish douchebags prance around unmasked, crowding each other like a bunch of animals in heat.

Instead, how about trying to behave like mature adults, follow the rules, try to avoid getting or giving an infection. It's not a perfect system, but it's better than not even trying.

Can you please explain what system you personally want?
Do you want everyone to stay home and only "essential work" get done or can you explain something else?

From the above it sounds like you think there are "douchebags" everywhere - at the grocery store, on your street, at the CVS - and they are rude to the elderly and comorbid. (And let's leave the comorbidities to the ones that have bad death rates or accelerate once infected). And you want them to wear a mask and stay 6 feet away from the elderly and sickly, correct?

Meanwhile, what would you like the elderly and sickly to do? Stay at home and get groceries delivered or do their errands outside? WOuld you like them to frequent the restaurants, bars or beaches? Or should they be forbidden or informed of the risks and decide for themselves?

Should there be elderly hour for things, what things? Should there be healthy people hours for things, what things?

Should bars after 7pm require masks, 6' tables and only healthy people?

Should elderly and sickly people be living with healthy people who go out and socialize?

Do americans want rules on this or information/decide for themselves? SHould the rules only be for essential things (food, health visits).

Under section 361 of the Public Health Service Act (42 U.S. Code § 264), the U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services is authorized to take measures to prevent the entry and spread of communicable diseases from foreign countries into the United States and between states.

Invalid, particularly at the governor level, to lock down a state.

Incorrect again. You really can’t be bothered to check for yourself? Or you think Fox News or Rush Limbaugh are trustworthy authorities on the law? And medicine, and public health? You’re the sheep they depend upon.

Fauci said hookups on Tinder are fine but you have to wear masks and can't go to school.

The DMV is an extra special bubble, and will stay closed until 2021 or 2020. Thx.

Of course, that's not what the open up crowd want. They want me and my family to put ourselves at risk too, and that is not a risk I am willing to take.

This is the part that makes me so angry. Lots of the idiots protesting don't want to go back to work themselves. They want ME to have to go back to work and risk MY life and the life of my kids and my parents so that they (protesters) can get a haircut or a beer.

much easier and safer to stay home on the dole.

What do you, personally, do for a living? Do you interact with hundreds of people per day, some of whom are likely asymptomatic carriers? Do you have to cater to pigs who swear at you if you ask them to move back a little, or wear a mask, or use hand sanitizer? Have you been spit on for trying to enforce your employers policies? Do you have anyone at your home who is likely to die if they get COVID-19?

If not, step off and shut up.

Do not conform to the pattern of this world,
but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.
