About 95 percent of the US is currently on some form of lockdown after President Donald Trump issued guidelines that called for 30 days of measures to slow the spread of the virus.
The government projections, obtained by the New York Times, indicate that lifting the strict social distancing measures now in place will see a second wave surge in infections and deaths in about June and July.

And yet we still have many people, even many people here on FR, wringing their hands and scolding anyone who thinks that maybe this has all gone waaaay too far, or who questions the wisdom and/or motivations of the “experts” and politicians.
Exactly so.
Its important to make sure we keep the lockdown until all small business is destroyed.
I don’t understand what he is doing, either. I can only hope it’s a giant rope-a-dope and he’s going to come out swinging any day. But....
Hogan the RINO lives to please his Dem masters.
Another “shocker”
Awaken to Our Awful Situation

We are seeing the most draconian measures enforced at all levels of government that we’ve ever seen in our lifetimes, and yet rather than being alarmed by the things going on, so many of you applaud.
•People are being arrested for spending too much time outside, and you applaud.
•Pastors are being arrested for daring to hold church services, and you applaud.
•A child’s birthday party is raided by police, and you applaud.
•A young woman is ticketed for going on a leisurely drive alone because it’s deemed “non-essential travel”, and you applaud.
•A parade of school teachers and administrators who wanted to drive through neighborhoods and wave at children is busted up by cops because they were “nonessential,” and you applaud.
•A lone paddleboarder in the ocean on a beach without any other people around is arrested because he’s violating quarantine orders, and you applaud.
•People are being denied life saving medical treatments because they’re not a priority right now (not “essential” as deemed by the government) as the entirety of our medical system is focused on one thing, and you applaud.
•Businesses are beings forcibly closed and padlocked and owners arrested for refusing to shut down, and you applaud.
•Dairy farmers (and soon, other farmers) are being incentivized to stop dairy farming and to sell their herds, and you don’t seem to understand the implications.
•You’re being told to use hotlines and online forms provided by your local governments to report your neighbors who don’t obey, and you comply.
•You scold people day after day for not obeying government edicts, and if any of us dare to question what’s happening, you lecture about how we’re a danger to society and and we just don’t care about people dying.
You’ve somehow managed to convince yourselves that the people whose lives are affected by a virus are MUCH more important than the people whose lives are being destroyed (and in many cases, leading to death) by the effects of a worldwide economic shutdown and impending worldwide depression the likes of which no one has ever seen before.
At what point will you start QUESTIONING what’s going on?
•How far does the government have to push before you’re jolted awake from your slumber?
•How far are you willing to go with this?
If they told you to load your families onto train cars so that you could be taken to Virus Protection Facilities for your own safety, would you do it?
YES. Yes, you would.
•That much has become painfully obvious to me. And the whole time, you’d be shaking your finger and yelling at those of us who refused, accusing us of being “a danger to society” and “not caring if people die.”
But they don’t have to load you onto train cars and take you to Virus Protection Facilities, or force you to comply, because you do that voluntarily.
•They control your mind.
•They control you through fear.
•They control you by convincing you that the world is a scary dangerous place, but they’re here to protect you, care for you, and keep you safe, just as long as you OBEY.
They know that as long as you’re locked inside your comfortable home with Netflix, Hulu, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and a cell phone, while dangling a $1200 check in front of you like a carrot on a stick, you’ll comply.
•No force is necessary for the majority of the herd.
YOU ARE IMPRISONED, willingly, and you’re too blind to see it.

Wasn’t it “federal projections” (models) that started this overreaction and loss of Freedom? I believe “federal projections” were for 2,500,000 Americans to be dead by this commie chinese red death virus this year. I guess we’re up supposedly to 40,000. That is a long way from 2,500,000. By the way has ANY government “workers” lost their job or been not receiving pay during all this. Surely, they aren’t all “essential”. Reportedly, a lot of them watch porn on work computers during work...is that essential? We’ve been had.
