It is most certainly past time to open the country for business again. Since mid-March, states and/or cities around the nation have gone above and beyond the call of duty to enact policies to keep citizens safe from contracting the China Virus. Attempts to “slow the spread” are noble. To say that is a given and pretty much understood. BUT… there are obvious “unintended” consequences that are now happening as a result.
Unemployment has shot through the roof and is approaching Great Depression levels with between 3 and 6 million people filing for benefits WEEKLY. Not because there are no jobs. Not because of a natural disaster. Not because of anything outside of human beings’ control. The despair people are falling into now is a direct result of government intervention.
A recommendation to stay a safe distance away from people to “slow the spread” known as “social distancing” has transformed into mandatory curfews, mandatory self-isolation quarantine, the inability to go to church, school, limits on the types of groceries you can purchase, and more. There are even talks of mandatory vaccines and health cards being floated around.
WHAT STARTED AS MEASURES TO KEEP AMERICANS SAFE HAVE NOW TURNED INTO MEASURES THAT KEEP AMERICANS AS PRISONERS IN THEIR OWN HOMES.
To make matters worse, natural disasters are still possible. Flooding and tornadoes have happened since the stay at home order started back in mid-March. If a person loses their home to an F3 tornado (as was the case in Tennessee on Easter Sunday night) how are they going to get supplies and hot meals when those places were already bogged down by new regulations or closed altogether due to slow business?
Enough is enough and it’s time for the madness surrounding the virus to come to an end.
In case y'all haven't guessed, I like this guy.
yes to all this
Tin pot state dictators got a taste of ultimate power, we need to take them all to the shed. We are the boss
President Trump always does the right thing at the right time!
Amen! Make demonicRATS own this lockdown. President Dr. Trump should announce a rally in a non-lockdowned State.
I approve this message.
#OUAN Open up America Now!!
‘Rats will move heaven and earth (well earth anyway) to prolong the shutdown, it’s the only hope they have, of defeating Pres. Trump in November. A Great Depression.
Not according to nanzi. Screwed up on responding to the issue and has ruined the economy. Right nanzi? Too little to late. Too much to soon. Too little to soon. Too much to late. Of course anyone with a ‘gabby’ can see what the hell is going on here.
I wouldn’t waste my time. It’s too late to “reopen the country.” This battle should have been fought a month ago — BEFORE IT WAS SHUT DOWN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
MAKE HCQ, ZINC AND AZITROMYCIN AN OVER THE COUNTER DRUG. LET PHARMACISISTS PRACTITIANERS REVIEW PATIENTS SYMPTOMS AND DELIVER THE DRUG TO THE PATIENT LIKE PNEUMONIA, SHINGLES, MEASLES AND OTHER DISEASES TO THE PATIENT AS IS THE PROCESS IS GOING ON NOW. THIS DRUG COMBO HAS BEEN AROUND FOR MANY YEARS AND HAS PROVEN TO WORK. IF NOT ENJOY THE FOOD SHORTAGES AND THE DESTRUCTION OF THE US DOLLAR WHEN YOU WON’T BE ABLE TO BUY TOILET PAPER FOR LESS THAN $50.00 PER ROLL. THE CHINESE CURRENCY WILL BE THE WORLDS RESERVE CURRENCY.
Agreed. Power is very addictive and they will not relinquish it willingly. With every passing day their lust for more grows exponentially. I suspect it may take more than protests or civil disobedience to wrestle it from their grubby little paws.
I agree with my whole heart.

In hindsight, this appears 100% correct. However, the orders to shut down came from every angle. I live in a very conservative area and our schools were some of the first to close in the country. The overall shutdown was the result of a domino effect, for the most part.
—> It’s too late to “reopen the country.”
Just like the shutdown, it will be a non-synchronous event. Individual people will have to lead the way in some areas. I leave my house at least once every day, mostly in protest, even if it’s only to drive through the car wash again some days. Hope this finds you well.
My guess is at some point soon, parents will be so tired of trying to get their kids to do their classwork at home thay they will demand schools reopen.
Well, you know what they say about all unpleasant things: The sooner you get it on, the sooner you get it over with.
