Let’s see how that works when taxes are due and there’s none there from businesses that failed and folks out of a job; there’s city, county and state taxes.

Doesn’t sound too bad. The peons have to fill out a form to get permission to go outside in France.

"And if everything we do saves just one life, I’ll be happy."

This is the most comforting thing he said. It tells me he's hedging his bets and preparing for a scenario where this apocalyptic pandemic turns out to be no more serious than a bad flu season. He already has his excuse prepared, when he's inevitably asked why he handled this like it was Noah's Flood.

More testing kits mean more positive(and negative) results. It hasn’t increased we just have a better handle on how many are sick.

“And if everything we do saves just one life, I’ll be happy.”

Yes, destroy the economy over one person who would probably die anyway regardless of the virus type. This is always the excuse used by those that crave power.

So, everyone stay home, but we’ll keep the filthiest incubators of disease known to man, operating empty, in case no one wants a ride?
Liberals have no sense of irony, whatsoever!

The mentality is “I will be criticized later if I don’t do this, even if it doesn’t help, so I’m going to do it.”

I work for a defense contractor, our company is telling the governor to go F himself. We have however taken some pretty drastic actions to limit how many people in one area, set up a large number of folks to work from home, and have implemented a pretty aggressive cleaning and hygiene policy.

The land of the free cowering,
And the home of the brave petrified.

Pathetic.

Shutting everything down is insane. The 2008-9 recession caused by some bad mortgages was nothing compared to the economic effects of complete shutdowns across the world.

These politicians are betting that the virus will subside before the world economy crashes. In today’s world there is no way we can stop the economy even for a few weeks.

In wars people die. This virus kills people who are on the edge already. Statistically I’m one of them.

Those that can should stay home and I will. But those who need to work should be allowed to do so, and make it their choice.

All because of NYC.

So the whole rest of the state has to suffer.

Well, people can at least experience socialism first hand without going to Venezuela. See if they still want it.
