How long until the citizenry rebels not only against voluntary and forced quarantine, but also the forced shuttering of businesses. We have already seen the young adults flagrantly ignore recommendations to avoid being in the presence of, or congregating in, large groups. This is not meant to discuss nor dismiss the constitutionality of the significant curtailment of our rights, and the outright inflation that will be caused by runaway monetary spending/printing. But rather, will America allow itself to succumb to economic death in favor of physical survival? This is not to say that we wouldn't still exercise reasonable precautions, but how long do you think this will be put up with in its current state?
Even on this forum, people are flaming those who refuse to fall in lock step with this b.s. that is happening. The stats absolutely do not back up the actions that have been taken.
Yeah, this is getting ridiculous.
Soft quarantines don’t work so they are pointless. Stay isolated in home, but enjoy yourself at the farmers market.
This is a totally stupid question OF COURSE THEY WILL, is there any doubt after what the hell has happened in our country over the last few weeks we have become a nation of snowflakes and sheep!!
No.
Put up with?
This part is certain...you’ll put up with it as long as you perceive they have more power than you do.
Who’s ‘they’? My State doesn’t have the ability to control our county without calling out the National Guard. They’re not even arresting people unless they commit a violent crime. We’re the wild west - in the great white north - and we like it that way.
Of course we will.
Not for much longer on the local levels, maybe mid April? They might put up with the Feds a bit longer.
I am watching the population of our Rocky Mtn valley pretty much ignore the whole thing. Lowes and Home Depot were crowded yesterday, and the mass of ATV rigs and horse trailers on the road signals that people are just using their leisure time to hit the dunes and canyons.
This is the youngest population in the nation, so people just don’t sense the danger.
Uhhhhhh....is this a trick question? What HAVE we been doing?
Just look at Italy. You re morons who are snowflakes who can’t handle any limits on your stupid sports and shopping
S k orea had limits and they’re not whining
Reasonable precautions?
HA.
Older folks like me, with health issues should stay home.
Everyone else should be able to live their lives.
It’s a bizarre Catch-22. If the draconian measures seem to be working and the invisible enemy seems to be abating, Trump will be condemned for putting us all through this for nothing because the crisis doesn’t seem so bad after all. If the virus extends beyond these “flattening the curve” weeks he’ll be excoriated for not doing enough.
Totalitarianism begins, of course for ‘public safety’.
Next, money is too unsafe, so please here get just this little mark.
We all better damn demand return to normalcy.
