Luther’s Salon a la Mode opened for business last Friday, then promptly got slapped with a court order to close because of coronavirus restrictions. Instead of meekly complying, as most others doubtless would have, Luther stood outside her salon and literally ripped the thing to shreds.

Turnabout is fair play, right Nance?

All said, we don't know if the lockdown was the right thing to do or not. Those who insist it was unnecessary don't actually know. That's just an opinion...a guess.

Let's hope and pray that there isn't a resurgence when the country reopens.

Remember though the principle behind Civil Disobedience
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Civil_Disobedience_(Thoreau)

... Under a government which imprisons any unjustly, the true place for a just man is also a prison.... where the State places those who are not with her, but against her,—the only house in a slave State in which a free man can abide with honor.... Cast your whole vote, not a strip of paper merely, but your whole influence. A minority is powerless while it conforms to the majority; it is not even a minority then; but it is irresistible when it clogs by its whole weight. If the alternative is to keep all just men in prison, or give up war and slavery, the State will not hesitate which to choose.

Yeah and “Those who insist it was NECESSARY don’t actually know. That’s just an opinion...a guess.

Goes both ways ... the phony “Experts” were just making guestamates themselves. But anyone with an IQ greater than their shoe size knows this was not about stopping a virus ... it was about taking down Trump ... period!

... I heartily accept the motto,—"That government is best which governs least;" and I should like to see it acted up to more rapidly and systematically. Carried out, it finally amounts to this, which I also believe,—"That government is best which governs not at all;" and when men are prepared for it, that will be the kind of government which they will have. Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient.

Everyone should watch the video at the following link in IMHO. Dr. Zelenko is at ground zero in NYC treating the worst of the worst. Listen to what he has to say about CV-19 and healthy people for a few minutes on from where it starts at 27:40.

Forcing people to stay home and/or not allow them to open a business is anti constitutional is it not? These are ordinances not laws. Does anyone know the constitutional amendment that covers this?

The Trump haters were of course using this crisis to bring down Trump. But there is still more to the crisis that just that.

The virus is real.

The President would not have taken the actions he did if this was just a "takedown Trump" operation.

As President of the South Georgia Low IQ Club, I am quite confident in saying that this situation is a great unknown. The President did the best he could with the information he had at hand.

‘Those who insist it was unnecessary don’t actually know. That’s just an opinion...a guess.’

problem is, because the authorities will not inform us of exactly what the population of infected is, what age, what prior physical conditions, or where the infection was centralized (hospitals and assisted care facilities, huge surprise), we go about doing such useless and irrelevant things such as wearing useless masks which will not prevent anyone from getting sick, and staying away from outdoor environments, such as beaches and parks, so that sunshine and fresh air may not work its well known effect upon maladies, and in so doing, weaken our own bodily defenses...that is why we very highly suspect that the lockdowns were in fact the wrong thing to do...

There will a resurgence. Then what? How do people develop immunity if they’re never exposed? Also, there will be a resurgence of flu.

Now I understand why over a hundred countries locked down most of the world population.

Thanks for explaining it.

Or maybe most of the people of the world care more about their local politics than internal US politics...

no, of course not; yet, I highly suspect that if a democrat were up for re-election, the media would be highlighting the fact that negative test results far outnumber the positives, and that the recovery rate far exceeds the death rate...

We’re still getting on planes, aren’t we?

Why can we get on a plane, but not sit in a barber’s chair?

The lockdown might, in the end, prove to have been unnecessary. But that's not the basis on which the decision to lockdown was made.

The lockdown decision was made because it was thought better to err of the side of caution than run the risk of the virus turning into a wildfire.

A wildfire would have ended the Trump Presidency.

over a hundred countries locked down for the same reason that the US did; out of unbridled panic, and the fear engendered by lack of information...and so that they would not overwhelm their abilities to respond...

a well thought out and thoroughly deliberated response it was not...

Your questions are valid. But no one has the answer.

The "opening up" is a kind of probing of the defenses of the enemy.

If there is a resurgence in locales that ignore all social distancing, etc. rules, but not in those that do, we have a clear understanding of how to deal with the virus.

We all need to remember that this is virgin territory. We--the country and the world--haven't been here before (at least not in our life times).

We are writing the rules as we go.
