Virus Rebels from France to Florida Flout Lockdown Practices
Medical Xpress ^

Posted on 03/23/2020 2:11:27 PM PDT by nickcarraway

Young German adults hold "corona parties" and cough toward older people. A Spanish man leashes a goat to go for a walk to skirt confinement orders. From France to Florida to Australia, kitesurfers, college students and others crowd the beaches.

Their defiance of lockdown mandates and scientific advice to fight the coronavirus pandemic has prompted crackdowns by authorities on people trying to escape cabin fever brought on by virus restrictions. In some cases, the virus rebels resist—threatening police as officials express outrage over public gatherings that could spread the virus.

"Some consider they're little heroes when they break the rules," French Interior Minister Christophe Castaner said. "Well, no. You're an imbecile, and especially a threat to yourself."

So everyone has to shut down their lives -- EXCEPT, of course, those people who work in the places that your mother needs for her well-being?

That makes absolutely no sense at all. How long would you stand this kind of crap:

"I'm sorry, Mrs. Rabbit -- I can't bring you groceries or medicine. I'm worried about catching the China Virus."

“...What is it with old folks hating on young folks....”
I’m not “hating” on anybody. Matter of fact, I’m very easy going, avoid trouble whenever, wherever I can, help folks when I can and just enjoy life in general.
But some wise azz punk deliberately coughs coronavirus19 in my face because of my old age, they’re in for a rude awakening...mostly likely in hell.

Sorry for your Mom’s bad news but we can’t rearrange all society to please her. She needs to isolate herself and the rest of society needs to press on.

That could and may happen.

I think they've built into the equation that a certain segment of the population are going to be complete selfish idiots.

The selfish ones are the ones that can't seem to self isolate and want society bend over backwards, lose everything, to assuage their fears. F that.

Someone has to bring her groceries, get her medicine, give her help, and take care of her. Every trip to a public place for her care givers is a risk of catching it.

Which is it? Is she going out to get supplies or is she isolating herself and having things delivered?

Sorry but your mom should self isolate. That said, one person losing their job because of this bogus “lock down” is one too many.

FluBros are traitors and murderers.

Or they really are Bernie Bros and just want to tear down everything.

Same mindset.


Nice false equivalence. Alinsky would be proud of your gaslighting tactics. Chuck and San Fran Nan thank you for your support.

“...I love it when sheeple roar. Have a nice time in prison...”
Not roaring, just stating fact. FWIW, since I’d then have C19, what’s a few weeks in a hospital/prison. I lived a good life....nothing really left to lose at that point since I’d be dying anyway, but the SOB that caused it, wouldn’t be doing it again to anyone else.

Geez, just when I thought everyone was ready to pull together, look at these comments.

No matter which side you are on, give the other folks a break. Everyone is handling this the best way they can given their circumstance and makeup.

Fear Republic is infested with spoiled rich old farts that have had their way their whole life. You can tell.

Because she cannot just hunker down alone. Someone has to bring her groceries, get her medicine, give her help, and take care of her. Every trip to a public place for her care givers is a risk of catching it. Everyone out there running around acting like this isn’t a problem increases that risk. But it’s not your Mom, so what do you care?


And it’s not your future being flushed in an act of economic terrorism is it?

We went from the Greatest Generation to the Greediest Generation. The Wu Flu Panic of 2020 is just the latest carnage inflicted on this country by the boomer generation.

Essentially nobody is denying the Wu Flu isn’t serious. Some of us just don’t want to burn down the house to kill the termites. That’s all.

No. They are hardly that. And the number of people here who are defending outright flouting of well established public health protocols put in place to keep the virus somewhat limited and the medical system from crashing is embarrassing.

It is our patriotic duty to ignore losers with CDS - Corona Derangement Syndrome.

BREAKING: Dr. Fauci is warning Trump officials NOT to listen to growing push among WH advisers, GOP lawmakers to restart the economy

But Trump is alarmed by stock market & impact of high unemployment for 2020 election — & weighing easing restrictions

Trump signals growing weariness with ‘social distancing’ and other steps advocated by health...
In tweets and retweets, the president argued that “WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF,” reflecting concerns about the impact on the economy.
