I have a mobile quarantine unit. Shouldn’t be a problem.

Depends on which communist state you are located and your comrade ranking .... ie., comrade Mayor, comrade KGB, comrade Oligarch, or just comrade nobody.

Don’t know where you live, but I live out west. Riding a bicycle is taken seriously. Only 20% don’t.

I’m an IT guy in a 24x7 manufacturing place.

Temp scan on arrival.

So far no static in SC that I’ve heard of.

Every weekend I’d like to drive up to Charlotte to visit the folks but I just don’t have it in me to drive.

For perspective, and without marginalizing those suffering from Covid-19 and the need for prevention and treatment, yet to be somewhat consistent some might argue:

About 6 million motor vehicle accidents happen every year in America, with over 6,000 per day suffering injuries or disabilities , and over 90 Americans a day dying as a result. Teens aged 16-19 experience motor vehicle crashes higher than any other age group, and are nearly three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and older to be in a fatal crash, yet drivers age 80 and older have the highest rates of driver deaths. The economic and societal harm from motor vehicle crashes amounting to a whopping $871 billion in a single year! Teens aged 16-19 experience motor vehicle crashes higher than any other age group, and are nearly three times more likely than drivers aged 20 and older to be in a fatal crash, yet drivers age 80 and older have the highest rates of driver deaths. The economic and societal harm from motor vehicle crashes amounting to a whopping $871 billion in a single year!

If this was comparable to the yearly consequences of COVID-19, and the cost of restrictions vs, benefits of freedom were equal, could we contend that henceforth travel should be restricted to only essential needs, and street distancing of 6 car-lengths should be practiced when doing so, and otherwise all motor vehicle are to be garaged-in-place until a solution (bumper cars?) is found to prevent this dangerous and often deadly viral-vehicle transmission.

What a shame things have come to this. Having to show your papers to move about freely in the United States.

I too have that privilege, if you wish. Military. I can and go as I please. But, this is frickin stupid.

Bicycles are part of God’s creation.

Cars are a part of the Devil’s capitalist empoire of fossil fuel.

When the state trooper pulls you over, hand him a roll of toilet paper instead of your license and registration.

What about supporting local restaurants by getting carry out or doing drive tbrough at pharmacies where there is no delivery. Most Americans would not tolerate such heavy handed state control of their movements and should take it out on the politicians who pushed this next November

No, I’m not sick. I live in an open carry state.
Seems like one city or county decides to institute a “stay at Home” order, and the others, no matter if they have much less population density, feel the need to follow suit.

“Shelter in place” is what the leftist tell the jr high school kiddies and academia adult toddlers. It makes the leftist control freaks feel like prison wardens. All powerful, total control over the little helpless children. Lock down now!!! Shelter in place you tax paying peons. We will tell you when to move. Get back into your houses and stay there. You’re all on restriction and lock down until further notice.

“What a shame things have come to this. Having to show your papers to move about freely in the United States.”

You have always had to have your papers in order when out driving. It’s called a driver’s license and registration along with proof of insurance. Most people don’t think of it that way but in reality it is that way...

Comrade Pelosi wants totalitarian power and this is a trial run for Comrade Governors and Comrade Mayors of big cities in case she gets it.

I don’t know. I’m in Washington State. We’re supposed to be in a shutdown. Today I went to the bank, got my tires balanced, then swung by Sportsman’s to pick up some ammo.
