Our Constitional Rights are being violated, whether you like it or not. I have two ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War against the strongest nation in the world at that time for these rights, and we are now meekly giving them up. So we can no longer assemble for church or AA meetings or political gatherings or gun shows? Can government now make The Constitution meaningless?

They already have, and as you can see from many of the posts here, there are plenty of people here on FR that are just fine with it. Very sad.

To do so would risk innocent people’s lives. To me, THEIR right to LIVE trumps people’s right to free assembly.

People can laugh but I keep saying things will never be “normal” again.
The bloodthirsty monster that is our government has been waiting & watching & hoping for something like a pandemic to happen. Under it’s cover, they’ve stolen our rights.
Schools & businesses will reopen but restrictions on large gatherings, who deserves treatment, & using a stiff breeze as an excuse to shut us down again.

I take your point, but even George Washington took measures that could be deemed as violative of citizens' rights in the name of avoiding contagion. I refer to his small pox inoculation program, Morristown, NJ, 1777. No consolation I'm sure but it's been done before, will happen again.
