Leroy,

Are you prepared to do what you must do?

Another FAIL. Jeezus. Have you ever been correct? A perfect record. Be proud! You suffer delusions of adequacy and then you project. Kinda like liberals. Accuse other of that which you are doing. LOL

"I'm sacred! I want saved! I'm gullible and easily lead!" Keep crying. You demonstrated many times what self absorbed looks like. LOL

My how you carry on.
You’re lonesome in your little locked down miserable world, reaching out to others.

Correct ? About you from day 1.

I think so too.

People are pretty much doing just that around here.

I'd love to stay home for a week and get [bleep] done around the house. Unfortunately I'm essential as Phuqk. I almost feel sorry for all you non -essential [bleep].

CDOT has signs all up i70 saying “Stay home. Save a life.” Sorry to whomever I aced yesterday doing essential things.

Wrong again! I own 2 essential businesses in 2 states. Out of the house every day.

Seriously, business is up sharply because of the scare, but I would trade it to get back to normal. I wish you the best and I hope this ends as well as possible soon.

To be relevant, you should try to see events in a 21 century perspective..the world has changed in the last couple hundred years..our economy has changed...our enemies have changed...along with their capabilities..

Makes a lot of sense to tell the people paying to quit working then, doesn't it? Dumb bass.

But you'll be dead long before the bill on this fiasco is paid. Selfish bastard.

Who the he'll was around when abortion became the law of the land? Sure as he'll wasn't the millennials.

Do you understand that the decision to shut down the economy isn't without consequences? There will likely be an increase in suicides and overdoses. There are reports about people not seeking medical care that may end up dying because they're too scared to go to the hospital. Not to mention the financial burden being placed on young workers, small business owners and others, that they might never fully recover from. And all this because the sainted elderly can't be expected to take sensible precautions to protect their own lives.

And dad will say, "well son, the last time we did this, the older generation wasn't a bunch of pussies..."

I absolutely understand that shutting down our economy has consequences.

But apparently you do not understand that doing nothing in the face of this pandemic would have had very serious consequences also.

First: Politically, The Democrats would have used lack of response to great political gain in their bid to take the Senate this year. Lack of action might well have given Democrats an increased lead in the house, and possibly given them the Presidency. Democrats would have declared inaction to be indecision and lack of concern by the President

Second: Financially, Our stock market started plummeting just as we started seeing the first C 19 infections in the US. Long before any lock downs were announced and almost a month before the first C 19 death was recorded in America. An economic crash was inevitable in America whether the Government had forced closures or not.

Americans, appear to be pretty damned stupid at times, especially those voting for socialist/communists. But we are among the most literate and educated people on the planet. With death tolls in the tens of thousands, and diagnosed infection counts in the hundreds of thousands, people would have abandoned public venues by now with no urging from the government.

Government edicts only slightly accelerated those shutdowns. And they will not go away in the next week or possibly the next month even if the governors and POTUS lift all restrictions tomorrow.

There is no reason to build cars, unless the public is buying cars. There is no reason to buy food and pay a wait staff at a restaurant unless people are coming in the door. And there is not much reason to hold a sporting event if only 1% of the stadium seats are filled. Those things are not going to happen until people are sure the source of contagion has been eliminated. That will not happen until after a successful vaccination program has been completed. Probably two years from now.

Third: Closures have definitely mitigated the force and the rapidity of spread of this disease. We have fortunately avoided the worst of the overcrowding we expected in the hospitals.

Response to the situation in America these last two months, and over the next two to three months is a very delicate balancing act. I for one am pretty damned satisfied with the tough decisions our President has been forced to make.

Apparently, from what I read here, some governors have gone a little nuts and overboard on their response. I surely hope their citizens remember that come the next election.

Suicides and overdoses? Probably straw man. If not, Darwin can always use all the help he can get. I am a lot more concerned with people running out of food and reaction to actual shortages in the inner cities.

what will happen in the inner city is really close to the bottom of my list of Corona concerns.

Everyone should take precautions as they see fit. It's called personal responsibility. Blanket mandates across states, that are based on isolated hot spots are ridiculous.
This isn't a "one size fits all" situation. NYC is a long way from corn cob county West Virginia.

And I thought the liberals in CO were fuggin nuts.

Too informal, anything worth saying is worth saying in person.

This!

Idaho Shooter is so disillusioned it’s not even funny.

Hey and the same to you. Shooter it’s good to hear of any needed business doing well. Keep your folks on the job. Hopefully common sense will begin to prevail.

You and yours take care and stay well.
