This is how a free people lose their liberty and fall into a totalitarian state.
This is the result of the President declaring a 'National Emergency'. When that was declared, certain procedures kicked in allowing these fascists to do this.
"Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Benjamin Franklin
So does the guy feel sick. Seems like if he was feeling ill he would have not bolted.
Yes. Trump made a huge mistake with that declaration. The constitutional principles of our country are on fire. No property rights, arrest with no legal recourse to challenge a positive test, elimination of right to assembly, etc.
We lost everything this nation was founded upon in one week.
Having said that, I’d also suggest that stopping people from conducting private business transactions where they themselves are the only ones at risk is not an acceptable measure by any stretch.
Was wondering what they would do with the dumb masses who wouldn’t follow protocol hmmm
If I were the guard I’d be cranking this at full volume from my Humvee 24/7:

And yet...
“A strict observance of the written law is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to the written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the ends to the means.” - Thomas Jefferson
“The Constitution is not a suicide pact.” - SCOTUS Justice Robert H. Jackson in Terminiello v. Chicago
Makes more sense to quarantine 1 guy for a few weeks than to close entire businesses for months to keep any employee from getting an illness that is largely non-lethal.
Like your FR name.
See mine.
Our freedoms are disappearing fast. This is tyranny no matter what the cause.
People who don’t want to grow up tend to have a problem with violating the rights of others. That’s very common among criminals with drug habits. He should have grown up a little and stayed put.
Italy’s coronavirus toll surges as worries grow over hospitals
(Sunday March 15)
MILAN (Reuters) - Italy recorded 368 more deaths from the coronavirus outbreak on Sunday, its biggest one day rise, amid growing concern about the ability of its strained health system to cope with the relentless increase in new cases.
While the virus has begun spreading rapidly across Europe, Italy remains the second most heavily affected country in the world after China, where the illness first emerged, and the outbreak has shown no signs of slowing.
The government is working urgently on procuring more protective equipment, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte said, adding there was maximum attention on helping Lombardy, the northern region where the virus emerged just over three weeks ago.
“Our priority is to keep doctors, nurses and all our health personnel safe,” Conte said in a statement a week after his government imposed a virtual lockdown across the country in a bid to contain the spread of the virus.
With 24,747 cases and 1,809 deaths by Sunday - a rise of 368 or 25% in the death toll in just 24 hours - Italy’s experience has offered an alarming example for other European countries which have begun seeing sharp rises in cases over recent days.
Lombardy, the heavily populated area around the financial capital Milan, has been the worst-affected region with 1,218 deaths. Of those, 252 were recorded in the last 24 hours.
Or this how we stop our country from crashing its healthcare system, getting this over with in 2 months and helping Donald Trump to get re-elected.
Unfortunately you won’t get alot of support at FR from what I have found. Agree with you. Police on every corner? And how long for this martial law? That’s what it is. Just happened in PA and Pittsburgh.

Where’s the warrant? Are his rights under the Constitution being infringed?
Some doctors have mentioned using plasma from recovered people to use in treating or vaccinating people to solve some of this outbreak. Could those recovered people be identified so they could donate blood?
Does anyone know ...? If someone had Wuhan virus, didn’t know it, and has recovered, would that show up in tests later? Do the indicators show up in tests?
There might be huge pool of possible donors that we don’t even know about.
Civil Disobedience, Reckless Endangerment? Now subject to ‘detainment’ under guard?
Just a matter of time and a whupped up hysterical media until martial law is declared at this rate. Some communities have already been subjected to stringent controls, who knows what next?
Regardless, too many things can never return to ‘normal’ after this. And many on the Left would applaud that... and sadly, some on the Right as well.
The gates are all down and the signals are flashin’
The whistle is screamin’ in vain
If you stay on the tracks,
ignoring the facts
You can’t blame the wreck on the train!
Okay - let me make something very clear to you. YOU DO NOT HAVE THE FREEDOM TO SPREAD A DANGEROUS AND DEADLY DISEASE. Do you got that? Creating another cluster to potentially infect countless thousands of additional people has NOTHING to do with liberty - that THREATENS people's liberty. Do you not get that? Ignoring reality and discarding any semblance of common decency and wisdom to make a non-existent argument is not virtuous.
