Down goes Ohio bars & restaurants. Good luck to all.
We have become a nation of wimps. Do we need to use extra precautions? Absolutely. Do we need to shut the country down? No. We don’t shut it down for the flu or any other communicable disease. Why this one? Didn’t do it for H1N1. But, then again, Trump wasn’t in office then.
Then I think I’ll order some carry out to help support some places.
Because everybody knows the little buggers knock off at 9.
Your wife has plenty of work right now. Millions don’t.
Just wait until construction stops. Home building in particular. And the financial numbers for second quarter hit Wall Street. It will be one economic tsunami after another for months hitting this country.
“If you fear the virus, don’t go to restaurants or bars. That would be a better solution than forcing businesses to close. Many of these businesses and their workers will suffer financially. Probably, many will fail and close. Good job protecting me, governor. I don’t like fascists.”
Trust me, I don’t, at this point. But I also don’t want Flubros killing off my wife and parents.
YES...this is like shutting down our medical system and concentrating on heart patients only...think people.
You just endorsed fascism
The economy and millions of Americans lives will be wrecked and we’ll have fascist Democrats back in office while weak ass FReepers “feel safe”
“Do we need to shut the country down? No. We don’t shut it down for the flu or any other communicable disease. Why this one?”
No other country SHUT DOWN because of a flu in the past - but many are shut down now.
Did you ever wonder that there may be a difference this time?
There’s something they are not telling us.
That’s the only logical reason for this insanity.
Insanity has logic? I doubt it. What we are seeing is hysteria unmoored by fact.
There is a big difference from what state governors can do and the president. Under the Constitution, the federal government has only certain enumerated powers. Declaring quarantines and closing businesses are not enumerated. Of course, in deciding who can come into the country, that is an enumerated power. It is the states who have authority over questions of quarantine and closing businesses.
“You just endorsed fascism”
Sucks, doesn’t it. Get used to it, it’s coming, regardless of what I post. But don’t worry about me...we’re more than capable of knocking-down any threats from the masses.
Maybe your wife and parents should kinda avoid people for awhile? That’s what we are doing.
bingo
“Maybe your wife and parents should kinda avoid people for awhile? That’s what we are doing.”
We’re certainly doing it (and so are our kids, of course), but parents are very old - hard for them to self-isolate for months.
Good point.
Pay attention to what Trump says and does along with the governors of both parties that are on board with him.
No social distancing will mean an increase of about 40% per day. Some people think math is hard, but this is more like junior high arithmetic. This is urgent.
I encourage all to take the time to read and understand that report.
What is different? Not just a common flu? Well, I keep coming back to the fact that Chinese bulldozed roads into/out of Wuhan to contain the spread, that they enforced a door-to-door quarantine, even reportedly welding apartment building doors shut. Think about it, where in any time of recent history have we seen such reaction to a flu? There was and still something different about this one. Maybe because it came from a biological lab? Maybe blaming the US because the scientists stole or adapted it or sourced it from a US lab before returning to China? A lot we are not being told about, a lot not being cleared up.
Trust me, I don’t, at this point. But I also don’t want Flubros killing off my wife and parents.
Destroying the economy and national security of the country actually makes your parents less safe.
Unsurprisingly, Wu Flu addicts clinging to every news anecdote like a junky looking for his next fix don’t seem to understand that.
Why are we not hearing about the 60k folks who have recovered without significant incident from their exposure to this media-hyped, politically motivated pseudo pandemic?
Sorry...this is just government run amok. It’s a great test for them to gauge how far they can go with new rights-restricting legislation and ‘policies’...
And, DeWine is a freakin’ RINO. Always has been.
