We are seeing a massive backlash against the coronavirus lockdowns all over the United States, and it is likely that the protests against these lockdowns will only intensify in the days ahead.
But some elected officials are doubling down and are insisting that “shelter-in-place” orders will remain in effect in their jurisdictions for quite a few months to come.
I honestly do not know how that is possibly going to work, because after just a few weeks millions upon millions of Americans have become deeply frustrated with these lockdowns.
Trying to confine people to their homes for the foreseeable future is likely to spark tremendous explosions of anger, but that appears to be exactly what authorities intend to do in some of our largest urban areas.
For example, New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio just told Fox News that he expects his city will be shut down until July or August…
Does he honestly believe that New York City residents will put up with being confined to their homes for another three or four months?
Over on the west coast, California Governor Gavin Newsom recently told the press that there probably will not be mass gatherings in his state “until we get to herd immunity and we get to a vaccine”…
It is exceedingly unlikely that we will get to the point of “herd immunity” in the United States this year, and most experts do not anticipate a vaccine until some time in 2021.
Would he really try to keep his state locked down for that long?
L.A. Mayor Eric Garcetti appears to be on the exact same page, and he has already pretty much ruled out all large gatherings in his city “until 2021”…

In 2018 over 80 thousand people in the USA died from the flu. Did we shut down the economy from it? The same media barely mentioned it.

A top down one solution fits all economically never works. It does not make sense when we have areas in the country that have 0 cases, but they are shut down?
How about a targeted approach? For instance, lock down high impacted cities like New York, Los Angeles, Detroit and wherever else it is high.
Where it is low turn on the economy. Although people can still do social distancing masks, gloves and no large venues of more than 100 people?

No way would a lockdown into next year be tolerated. If it continues into May there will be resistance and massive non compliance.
As for Freepers that want to live your life in constant fear, then stay home and wait for your vaccine that may never come.
Remember the 2018 and 2019 flu deaths will be higher than Coronavirus, and they have a vaccine for the flu.
I don’t know about anyone else but I will rally with other like minded patriots to go and yank these mini dictators out of their offices.
It will magically end the day after election day.
The Tree of Liberty will need to be watered.
Moot question. I’m another thirty days most state capitals will be on fire.
Next year. It’s time NOW. it’s the Flu Bro.
Haha! Yeah no kidding.
He is modern day Quack with no medical degree or any degree, but he is giving medical medical advise to the world.
There is already massive noncompliance.
You’re out of touch with what’s going on in the areas where it has really hit.
Where it hasn’t, things are starting to open up again.
This is a massive threat to our sovereignty and civil rights, but also a legit health crisis.
Get a clue.
Never going to happen.
Everyone cannot sit at home and watch warehoused food reserves deplete to zero.
Somebody has to go out to milk the cows, plant seeds, feed the chickens, etc.
His advice is 1 billion or two people should die off, the third world should do his work because even with $33 billion he can’t afford to pay people their share, and oh yeah everyone in the world should buy his vaccine and get their hand stamped or tattooed. His “foundation” is behind this whole notion of a global lockdown.
States,counties ,and cities are loosing tax revenue and many are already broke. They can’t last long.
H1N1 is just called the flu now And they stopped counting the deaths in 2009 and by 2010 they were just estimating the worldwide
Roger that. Citizens, not subjects.
For every 1% increase of unemployment after 1 year 30 to 40 thousand more people die. In the last 4 weeks we have lost 22 million jobs. That is an increase of 13% of the unemployment with a potential death count of 390,000 to 520,000 people after a year.
Here is the percent, by industry, saying their business will still exist if the crisis lasts 6 months:

Hotels: 27%
Personal services: 22%
Restaurants and bars: 15%
