It’s a slippery slope, and I do not like it one bit. Your rights are being denied, whether you know it or not.

I don’t disagree. Happily for me, I live in a state whose governor has not required closing of stores or schools. But all schools have pretty much closed on their own volition. The same goes for stores and restaurants. Virtually all dining rooms are closed but many are open for takeout. Our greyhound group has canceled all activities—again quite voluntarily, not on our governor’s orders.

But as my wife and I are in a “vulnerable” group because of the blessing of years, we are going out amongst others only with reluctance.

Stuff was closed during the “Spanish” Flu, many times on the orders of local authorities. American were much more used to “taking orders” back then than they are now. I’m optimistic; I think when this is over we’ll still be free.
