Coronavirus stay-at-home orders stir protests nationwide

I haven't heard that about dogs but am wondering about cats after that tiger at the Bronx Zoo tested positive.

Well how long should we stay locked down then?

Social distancing will be followed by the majority with or without stay at home orders. Concerts and sporting events will continue a hiatus since there is no way owners will endanger their breadwinners. After a while, they may attempt stuff with special conditions like the absence of fans or maybe more limited contact. Everyone is sacrificing some but it's worth stopping this from getting blown out into Biblical proportions. No Anime dubs for me, no moving, no traveling and sightseeing, no elected procedures for my health issues, no time with family in Ohio.
 
Jesus Christ this country is fucked. The number of arrogantly stupid people is the death of this nation.

The science is clear, this is not 'just a fucking virus'. This is an insidious contagion.

  • It spreads a week before symptoms at minimal.
  • It stays in an active phase roughly three weeks.
  • It's roughly a week or two after that you are still contagious.
  • It damages the heart and liver
  • It attacks T-cells, yeah HIV style... fucking T-cells.
  • It causes clots, in the lungs.
  • If you get too high a dose it overwhelms your immune system.
  • It attacks the lungs and uses them as the primary path of spreading causing the equivalent of high altitude sickness then pneumonia and well death.
  • It scars the heart and lungs, even with mild symptoms.
  • It can lie dormant after getting sick and come back.
  • Your immune system does not retain antibodies for the rest of your life, at the most a couple of months.
  • 50% is asymptomatic but spread it and since the science is not clear that could be because of a low dosage amount and if they get it again with a higher dose it could be worse.

Yeah you dipshits go on with your bad boot strapping selves, right to the morgue.

Our anger is completely misdirected. The Federal government needs mandatory testing, masks and apps with direct communication for hot spots for everyone if there is any hope of re-opening the economy.

We open it too early and we will get the plague part 2 death cult boogaloo about 5 times worse than now, literally insuring Mad Max 'Murica'.
Finally throwing money at the Casino economy instead of citizens forced to stay home because of mismanagement is beyond failure it's now straight up evil.

Reality states we need universal income, nationalized healthcare and a robust detection system to keep track of outbreaks until this passes. Instead we have socialist money being dumped down a black hole for the Casino economy while we stay at home and starve and delusional dumb asses saying it's just a virus and ya'll r' pussies, lift yourselves up by your home made bootstraps that were made in China. Derp de' fucking derp.

Yeah this timeline suck. Good job you economic cult members, your fake ass just in time economic system has been blown up by a micro organism that doesn't give a fuck whether you question science or reality, it just fucks your shit up.
 
If people stayed in their homes till there was a vaccine they’d walk outside and right into a Mad Max movie by the time we had one lol.

Fortunately, I doubt very seriously that’s going to happen.

You think that, tired of shooting children, the trumpers want to go out an infect everyone, eh? I expect it may be true out in the backwoods. Should cut down the numbers of halfwitted Republicans, I suppose.
 
At least 15,000 cars and trucks are expected to descend on Michigan’s state capital on Wednesday to protest what they’re calling Gov. Gretchen Whitmer’s tyrannical new guidelines to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus in the state.

The so-called “drive-by” demonstration – in order to maintain social distancing -- aims to bring traffic to a gridlock in Lansing and protest the “Stay Home, Stay Safe” executive order by Whitmer, a Democrat, mandating what businesses could stay home, what some businesses could sell and ordering people in her state against any gatherings – no matter the size or family ties.

“Quarantine is when you restrict movement of sick people. Tyranny is when you restrict the movement of healthy people,” Meshawn Maddock, an organizer of the protest with the Michigan Conservative Coalition, told Fox News. “Every person has learned a harsh lesson about social distancing. We don’t need a nanny state to tell people how to be careful.”

Silly bitch thinks this is the old USSR.

The protest is scheduled for today - would you give me an update on how many cars showed up? Because I think the claim of your article - 15,000 cars - is a gross and willfull exaggeration; in short, utter horseshit.

There isn't much else I can add to this terrifying and truthful post. Maybe just this: If more of our citizens had been educated in science, they would have a deeper understanding of how this virus works -- and why, at this point, our only hope is to maintain the shut-down until (maybe) a vaccine is created. I've been reading medical journal articles about how this virus infects humans. It's even more horrific than what you posted. And this is why *we* are going to maintain social distancing despite what governments declare is good.

Didn’t the European urbanites flee to the countryside during the Black Death?

I love Whitmer's comments on the Lansing protest. Can you even begin to imagine #COVID45 saying this?

"During a daily briefing on the pandemic this week, Whitmer said she doesn't plan to try to stop the demonstration.

"Whitmer added that the extraordinary measures she and other governors are taking are intended to "make sure that we avoid a second wave at all cost."

""That would be devastating for our economy," Whitmer said. "Not one of us wants to go through this again, not in a month, not in the fall. ... And I want you to have your freedom. I want to have mine, too. We will get to a place where we can be with our friends and family again. It's OK to be frustrated, it's OK to be angry. If it makes you feel better to direct it at me, that's OK, too. I've got thick skin. And I'm always going to defend your right to free speech."

''So I just ask that those who are protesting these orders, do so in a safe manner so that you don't get sick and you don't subject our first responders to risk either," she added. ''This is a tough enough situation. Let's not make it harder on one another.""

We are so accustomed to the petulant man-baby Trump, that it actually sounds weird to hear an adult politician speak
 
Didn’t the European urbanites flee to the countryside during the Black Death?

Can't remember. In a village called Eyam, in Derbyshire, at the last outbreak, the people , not to spread infection, stayed home for months and died. They are still remembered and respected: they stopped it for centuries, and it hasn't come back yet.

So I take it you're willing to volunteer at the closest hospital or nursing home, with or without PPE? :laugh:

I’ll be back amongst it within a month and I don’t loose sleep over it.

Who would have thought this country would be overthrown by fear and not an invading army. Previous generations of Americans would consider us an embarrassment.

But still, refreshing too, don't you agree? I have a feeling that Whitmer is going to be POTUS one day. I like that she considers taking action from different viewpoints, then makes the tough decisions and takes the flack for them as well. What a novel concept these days.

Quite a bit different than "I don't take responsibility," "It's ____ 's fault," "Yeah but Obama..." "I am so great" "Perfect phone call" blah blah blah.

She seems impressive!

If you knew what most health care professionals do about this virus, you might not be so cocky and know-it-all.
 
Stop crying.

I'm not going to put my life on freeze just because a few unfortunate souls are taken by another virus. People die from viruses everyday. People are dying all the time. Hell, unborn children are aborted regularly and you degenerates don't even raise a brow.

How fucking stupid and disingenuous do you have to be? Get over yourselves.
Me neither. My life is normal. Let'em all die, eh? LOL

Why are you waiting so long?

The country isn't overthrown by fear. Michigan is only one state. Try moving to a state where you can bitch less and enjoy life more.
