"There isn’t a shred of evidence that this virus is some sort of doomsday illness."

"Well, it certainly isnt, that is for sure.

"Freerepublic has either been invaded by fanatics, left wingers, bots, zombies...? But man, if you actually think you’re a conservative and you condone the police state..."

Dude, seriously, I'm keeping my distance without a state order, and I've done so since Feb.. Some of us have vulnerable family members, and some of us would prefer not to put ourselves in situations if we can help it just to prove anything to people on the internet that are only going to be able to offer prayers if anyone gets it...If that's ok? Not everyone that doesnt want this thing is doing so because "we luvz tha police statez".

I honestly think a bunch of this stuff being ordered by these idiot governors and mayors is just pure BS. That being said, that doesn't mean I'm not going to protect myself as a personal choice just like the Gov. of South Dakota has said we should.

Conservatism is all about personal responsibility, and it works great if everyone is personally responsible.

But we all know that ship sailed in this country a long time ago.

In a relatively mono-ethnic country, like Japan, yes that approach can work, especially since Japanese tend to be real big on that social sanctioning thing.
