Coronavirus / COVID-19

“To think I’m going to work and am leaving this mask at home on my kitchen table because the employer won’t let me wear it,” Scott said. “You feel sacrificial in a way.”

This doctor was asked to sacrifice a bit too much:

Probably going to see much more of this, especially when round II arrives....

At some point we need to enforce the understanding that terrorism is not protected speech.

I never understood why liberals never just brought their own guns.

By what, bringing a shitload of LEO's or the military? The ensuing bloodbath would give these idiots exactly what they want.....publicity. Wanna shut them down? Stop plastering their "Fake Protests" in the media. These people are much like their Fearless Leader---they suffer from attention deficit.

America's closed, and don't let the jackals out front tell you otherwise.

You can't continue to be closed indefinitely. At some point, the nation has to resume life, albeit at a different normal. You can't wait until the R0 figure gets to zero, because that will never happen.

at a different normal.

This requires centralized planning and execution, of which there is none at the moment. The president advocated injecting Lysol and UV irradiation, and is still marketing a miracle happening. McConnell is advocating protecting businesses from being sued in case the second wave ends up claiming tens of thousands of more lives.

The US is in a worse position administratively than most "developing" nations.

It was a joke, but I still don't understand why this is allowable.

I swear, Americans are so afraid of government that they weakened theirs to be of any use. It's a path down Greek city-statism where everyone is in their own corner doing whatever they feel like.

At the federal level, yes. The states banding into local groups, not as much. Testing is still a problem, and the virus is just beginning to burn through the rural areas. If our Fearless Leader was any kind of a leader at all, the testing could be brought under better control if the federal government used its' considerable powers to take control of procuring the necessary testing.

It was a joke, but I still don't understand why this is allowable.

And neither do I. I can understand the right to bear arms, but exactly what is the purpose of allowing people to bear arms (and assault rifles, at that) in a place of government? To shoot a legislator if you don't agree with them? It's insane
