Do you realize that every state and the federal government have had quarantine laws on the books since they started passing laws? Those ‘edicts’ were authorized by those old laws. Some specific ones may be unconstitutional (we’ll find out when they’re challenged in a court); others are certainly legal and reasonable.
Reopening would be possible, with a minimum of risk, if people simply acted responsibly, and with due regard for the health of others. If the social distancing and mask-wearing laws are flouted — expect more deaths. Lives are at stake.
In addition to lives — Trump’s reelection chances go down as the death count goes up. Do not be responsible for a Biden government.
seasonal flu can infect 30 or 40 million Americans and no-one notices or cares.
more testing means more people infected and there are only 1 million-plus confirmed infections in US.
why the panic? why the shut-downs? it’s ridiculous.
Do you not realize that our federal and state Constitutions trump all illegal laws? The quarantine laws you mention are for isolating the sick - not the healthy. When everybody is under ‘quarantine’, it’s called martial law.
You really think Trump supporters are going to vote for Biden because they are unhappy with his actions on the virus? I know liberals say Trump has mismanaged things, but Trump supporters do not.
Bullshit!
Trump’s re-election chances will go up in smoke if the US sinks into Great Depression, Part 2.
That is exactly what will happen if healthy people aren’t allowed to return to work and if small businesses aren’t saved. ALL businesses and workers are essential.
I’m sorry, but I can’t see how Trump’s re-election chances go down at all. He keeps reminding people of the “best economy the world has ever seen” that was created under his watch. Who is most likely going to be the one to bring the US back from the brink of economic annihilation—some democrat? a progressive? a socialist? a Bush-type? an Obama-type? a McConnel? a Graham? Pelosi? Schumer? AOC? (it’s getting ridiculous now) pick anyone you want and ask yourself, who is going to bring the US back to economic stability and prosperity?
I see no one, but the present occupant...and my reason for saying that is....He’s done it before!
