And if liquor stores and gun stores ignore the ban, will the police back her up, or will the police declare a 2nd Amendment and 100 Proof Sanctuary City.

When you have some ‘idiots’ who are buying three packages of toilet paper every other day, and there’s already enough in the garage for 18 months...you are simply contributing to the hysteria. Same problem for people who have a three-year supply of flour sitting in the garage, and still buying a month’s worth every three days. Common sense ought to rule.

“Why are they so scared of an armed citizens?”

Because the pot-belly, untrained mall cops who leftists hire to protect their sorry butts are no match for skilled hunters and armed veterans. There’s a reason why the gestapo FBI tried to label veterans as domestic terrorists.

The state is actually pro-2. Chitcago & Champagne (University of Illinoise) being the huge exceptions.

Yeah and this happened where?

“ The answer is no. No they haven’t. Not even close. They have NO idea how many people have, or have had Wuhan-19. It literally could be in the millions who have had it which would make it far LESS deadly than influenza.“

You are correct, but we do not test everyone for flu either, so there’s that.

===============================================

And you are correct!.

However, we have decades of data...and modeling, to help estimate the numbers infected, and killed by, influenza.

We have no such thing for Wuhan-19. Any talk of how "deadly" it is compared to influenza is pure speculation wrapped in guestimates and often times seeded by political agenda.

Recorded # deaths / ??? infected is not a real number. It's not even an estimate.
