No, I am not MINIMIZING anything, rather, I am answering with data and science your overt panic. I am not a libertarian, I am a livery loving constitutionalist, and believe that the constitution was written to protect me from the government who MAY BE prone to overreach. The bill of rights? Its a list of Thou Shalt Not to the government. So, if you wish to trade your liberty for security, you are a government loving nanny statist.
Secondly, have I in ANY WAY indicated that REASONABLE percautions: hand washing, staying home while ill, not exposing the vulnerable elderly to people who are not feeling well to name a few are NOT reasonable nor prudent?
I suspect simply because I do NOT agree with you, that you wish to demean the argument by name calling. However you expose YOUR statism with this from your post: “Forcefully quarantining infected unwilling to self quarantine...yes”. Only one little step from that to “Forcefully quarantining those who disagree with me politically...yes”
Bottom line — this is EXACLTY the death of liberty that you and yours advocate. Thank you for coming out as someone willing to deny people of due process and individual liberty. You have indeed shown your colors.
Hope it is your and not my infected neighbors break quarantine to comeing over and lick door knobs. Some people do that without quarantine. Libs are f’n nuts. What do you suggest we do with them?
Keep fighting the good fight, Doc. Your rational points are well made.
Who knows, the panickers in here may yet prove to be right, but the data to this point make that FAR from a certainty.
I wouldn’t pay too much attention. None of us do.
