Wait, how long are we supposed to stay in lockdown?
New York Post ^ | 4/26/2020 | Karol Markowicz

What are we waiting for? The question can be posed in either a wild, irresponsible way — or a sane, measured way. In New York, our “pause” will continue until at least May 15, and New Yorkers are asking, in a measured, sane way: What exactly are we waiting for?

My local chain grocery (there are 3 in a 10 mile radius) pulled in 14 million in sales in a week between groceries and the adjoining liquor store. They can wait us out.

As long as it takes to beat every last one of us into sheepish submission so that we will not reelect Trump.

Let’s make that not come true!

Don’t you mean incarcerated, imprisoned, house-arrest, or Martial-Law? Did I miss a proper term by chance???

For the most part, I am unaffected in the daily routine.

Apart from avoiding grief from the happiness patrol and other gendarmes of progress, I go about life. Other than that one instance on Live PD a few weeks back, I haven’t heard of any.

My local PD may have a gendarme or two that may give grief. I’ve gone to the off site makeshift garage some to retrieve items. No fuzz. The place is isolated and no one goes there but me.

I don’t want to be one “earlier this week” segments on Live PD trying to argue private property and ownership with Johnny Law.

The spouse is the one thinking end of the world.

Tom Fitton opens his videocast here talking about how ridiculous this is.

It was really pathetic seeing Swamp Rat Kushner interviewed by Steve Hilton on Fox News last night. All gushy about Fauci and Birx, even chastised Hilton for having criticized them earlier in his program, and completely on board this terrible program.

If Trump has been going along with the Fauci/Birx plan and changing pronouncements as everyone reports, I think we probably need to blame a good chunk of that on Trump putting his flunky SIL in the middle of it all—and then listening to him!

Two best marketing schemes ever:
* “Free beer tomorrow”
* “Lockdown for 2 more weeks”

No one sane is pushing to return to “normal.”

I beg to differ.

I am still grappling with the governments authority for stay at home and close down business orders. I been looking for that clause in the Constitution. Seems to me it suggests the exact opposite. This is kind of like FDR locking up the japs in early WW2. US citizens were not the threat. Maybe we should be nuking China from the planet for pay back for this, that is something I can buy into. Or locking up the media for their non stop blaming Trump for this disaster. Think of it, the dems scream when we try to close the borders to drugs, rapists, murderers et al but think it is a good idea to close small businesses because someone might catch a virus. Meanwhile our brave elected officials remain out of DC. Surprised they did not go up to their back up capitol in West Virginia. The Congress was back in DC three weeks after the brits burned it in 1814, this bunch under Pelousy may return after a vaccine is proven to work.

We're waiting for the dhimmicrats to give the "all clear". What we should be doing is telling the dhimmicrats to sod off...

Since orange man is president, it’s way worse than WWI, II, and whatever else put together.

Weekend data is low/slow. There is always a Monday/Tuesday catch-up spike. But point well taken; the data has been decreasing in size for several weeks.
