Ya right. Well if they keep quarantining the healthy (which is the first time ever done in humanity) then we won’t have a country to make great again.
‘The “sick” people to quarantine are unknown. The “healthy” are unknown, too.’
is that not true of every year with the annual flu virus, what ever strain it may be...? any one year the flu may be a strain never encountered, like this one, it’s no doubt just a matter of time...
‘The “lockdown” is limiting the spread’
is this your prescription for any virulent contagion that may come down the pike, since traditional quarantine is not practicable...?
First there is no “lock down”. In a lock down no one would move. Get it?
When you can go to “essential” jobs and you can go buy “essential” items there is no lock down. You have not stopped the spread period. Is that so hard for people to understand?
The idea we can live in a sterile word is ludicrous.
How stupid are people that haven’t figured out that this is a crisis that is not going to waste by the enemies of our Republic?
Thank you.
Whatever one thinks about the appropriate way to proceed, facts are facts and the original post is factually wrong.
It is. They knew what they were doing. Wait until next year when you have to pay $10.00 for a head of Mexican cabbage that the Mexican pissed on after he cut it. or $5.00 for a tomato grew in Mexico. Meat at a reasonable price? forget about it.
It was.
Clearly among other things they are experimenting on us. There is no settled science on the way they are doing this. Except we’re finding that it utterly destroys a good economy. Every time it’s tried. Check out every country’s economy that was good before this.
In US history up until now we have only quarantined the sick and those that live with them
It’s now 4-5 days after exposure that symptoms present.

Interesting. Thanks. I hadn’t heard that.
Larry, that’s why the leftists are doing it.
i agree.
This is their “Cloward-Piven” moment, and they’re not going to let it go to waste.
So, the “sick” cannot be identified in order to be quarantined in the traditional sense. They are popping up daily out of the general population from what was spead and continues to be spread in the NYC subways.
It has been very much like the spread of the annual flu, as you suggest. The major difference is that this has spread unvaccinated. The annual flu has a vaccination. Millions of dollars are spent to reduce probably hundreds of thousands of deaths annually to the 20k on a good year or 60k+ on a year where the vaccination is botched. I don’t think anyone actually knows what the unvaccinated flu would look like in today’s population.
I am not offering a “prescription”. Many people, here, seem to think they can, though why, I do not know.
The level of hyperbole and disinformation, however, might be worth combating.
This is NOT a quarantine. It bears no resemblance to a historical quarantine because nothing like that can be applied at this time, within the US.
You have not stopped the spread period. Is that so hard for people to understand?
The idea we can live in a sterile word is ludicrous.
Those are ideas that have bonked around in my head but haven't managed to make it to my keyboard. Thanks for putting it out there.
Something like 80% of the working public is still working and the grocery stores are busy every time I go there. If people are going to get exposed, they're getting exposed.
And the goalposts have moved from "flatten the curve" to "prevent every case". It's a power and control game and it's beyond ludicrous.
Too late President Trump has gone all in with the Hillary loving Fauci and his lunatic crap,he can’t turn around now.
We are screwed,the President is giving the impression that by destroying the economy the virus is going to go away,it’s not! The only thing going away are our freedoms and jobs,the virus is just waiting for the people to go out again.
The economy is destroyed
Problem is, we don’t know who’s healthy and who isn’t. COVID-19 carriers can transmit the disease for days without themselves showing symptoms.
This is the literal cost of the precautionary principle. Just keep everyone safe, no matter the cost - financial or political. Great nanny state, protect us and take care of us. And liberals who want more power say yes, we’ll protect you, just obey us.
The sooner it spreads out, the sooner it dies out.........Sooner or later you're going to come in contact with it and you will either catch it or you won't.
If you do, there's a 98% chance you will survive. There's also an 85% chance you will get either mild symptoms or none at all.........
I find it hypocritical that they tell you not to touch your eyes or mouth because you can contract it that way but have no problem with walking into stores with face masks but no protection over your eyes........
