The Thought Police have been active for decades.
Wait for the Dignity Battalions, who will enforce “dignity awareness” on “marginalized” groups - oh wait, they’re here, too...
Something’s going on behind the scenes. Question is, who is
in control, the good guys or the bad?
Which beach?
I’m nowhere near a beach but getting ready to go for a walk-jog.
I’m much more concerned about the economic damage than the virus damage at this point.
That's the fear for liberty lovers. Given the taste of raw power what will the "Corona Nazis', the Comrade Mayors, and the Comrade Governors do next time? I'm afraid they're going to like this power more than they like the Constitution when the next "opportunity" comes along.
Seems to me that people on the beach, in fresh air, SUNSHINE, UV, and salt water would be even LESS LIKELY to get the virus than being cooped up in a room somewhere................
This isn’t the flu and has absolutely nothing to do with the flu
I’m going to break the new Shelter In Place Quarantine today.
I have to go out and buy my Mega Millions / Powerball Lottery Tickets and wash my Car.
I hope I’m not forced to run the Police Roadblock.
This is the story of the little boy who rang a bell in the city center. When asked why, he said to keep away the elephants. When told there are no elephants, he said, “See? It works!”
This is the communist using this “crisis” to implement communism, to keep the elephant virus away by ringing the communist bell of handing everything over to the government.
Phase 1 was gaslighting the sheeple into thinking they will die without government intervention.
Phase 2 is control the people and shutdown their businesses.
Phase 3 is government providing payment for business rents and payroll.
Phase 4 is the government simply stating that since the government already pays for everything that the government now owns the businesses.
Communism complete: Total control of the sheeple and a complete takeover of commerce.
The liberal States of Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, and New Jersey have implemented martial law, selecting which businesses must close and that the people must stay indoors. This isn’t a quarantine; this is martial law. Just because the communists are using the virus as an excuse doesn’t mean it is not martial law. When the government can tell you to stay home, implement curfews, and shut down businesses, it is martial law. Trump is in on this communist takeover. He is encouraging States to go into martial law and shut down businesses and lock everyone into their homes.
To get the people’s cooperation, the government is buying their cooperation. Each adult gets $1,000; $2,000 per couple but only if they make under $150k. Great, huh? Get taxed to give other people free money. Colorado is giving people a pass on parking tickets as though people can no longer seem to properly park. There are lots of free sh*t stories being reported.
Just as we were moving manufacturing back to America, the communists are closing those businesses making us rely on foreign imports again. Since Trump has surrounded himself with the communist healthcare workers, he is pushing the narrative and supporting “free” money which means both conservatives and liberals, alike, support him and this effort to take over the country by the communists.
We are past the tipping point. Americans are fully endorsing any and all measures. They actually want more closures. The drama queens are begging to have all their liberties taken away in the name of safety. They are begging for their businesses to close, thinking somehow Uncle Sugar will hand them money to live on instead of having to work.
For those of us not so stupid as to fall for this communism propaganda, we have the right to take on jobs and visit businesses of our own free will. This is the liberals taking away our right to choose.
The WHO estimates between 250,000 and 500,000 die worldwide from the flu. China had 81,000 infected of a population of 1.4 billion and have now lifted their quarantines and claim to have no new cases. South Korea with 8,600 cases likewise has seen a tremendous drop in new cases.
This virus so far is the typical flu level symptoms and treatment. Nothing to be taken lightly, but nothing to go and shut down the country for either.
Anyone feel stupid yet?
Waiting on a 30-day extension of my short term disability for my quad-bypass. If/when it comes thru I’m taking my Scout out every day I can for Spring King and Spanish mackerels. Nothing like a day on the water to ‘get away from it all’.
30-days paid leave to go fishing in the Gulf of Mexico in calm, 80+ degree weather is about close to heaven I can get without dying.
Well, maybe the government should simply change the rules and say, “All of the steps we have taken to prevent the spread of the Chicom Virus apply to all Americans except for obviously, self-centered, selfish CptnObvious!”
How is that? Does that satisfy you?
I can walk on the beach everywhere I’m a safe distance to others but I can’t set up my beach chair to enjoy the sand & surf (just like those Spring Breakers earlier) so that’s depriving me of my happiness and freedom of assembly (for a couple of weeks to keep from infecting those with compromised immune systems, as a curtesy to them) then America has become a Nazi despotic State because I’m asked to take my beach chair back to my own yard, Trump is evil & a danger to my “rights!”.
Kind of sounds like a few others who throw fits because their favorite bars shut down & grocery stores asked them not to take more than two pkgs of toilet paper, gallons of milk and loaves of bread in my neck of the woods!
I can set my own beach chair most everywhere I want except it’s 42 degrees with snow predicted this weekend, so I’m mad too!
Get a life buddy! If we’re still restricted in three / four weeks, then it’s time enough to find out what’s going on but you’ll still be able to soak enough other places and even at a public beach then as the sun’s not going out of business anytime soon. Until then, go to Bora Bora & stay as long as you like.
Florida is up 103 cases TODAY, a 20% increase. Your spring break idiots will fuel your exponential growth over the next month. We went thru this up here in Washington with the soccer matches and ignorance.
Social distancing is preferable to quarantine in order to break the infection cycle. But if you want to be Italy with your elderly population, don’t whine when your hospitals have no available ICU beds.
Car accident? Heart issues? Stroke? Sorry, the hospitals will be full.
Wake up, selfish. It ain’t all about YOU.
Unfortunately, they have to close the beach, or spring breaking idiots will turn it into a mosh pit. This is why we can’t have nice things.
They could achieve the same effect by limiting access to those over the age of 30.
They obviously had a spring break, spread the disease issue.
Hard to be especially sympathetic to your great sacrifice right now.
I’m in SW Florida too....you didn’t hear that the beaches are CLOSED?
If they let you walk there they need to let everyone walk everywhere. Closed means you too, even if it’s your anniversary.
Your screen name is perfect.
Take a walk on the beach anyway.
What policeman is going to enforce this?
If caught, plead ignorance. What judge is going to enforce this?
Worst case: you’ll get a warning. And you’ll then have a great story.
In the fwiw department, all beaches from Pass a Grille to Dunedin close at 2400 hrs today.
Barricades, cones, signs etc going up as I type.
