Banning driving is the least we can do to save highway fatalities. Who all supports giving up driving?
Have you missed that the reopening is in phases?
What about the famines that are surely coming because of the world economic slowdown?

Yes KJ, the compromise is the "economy" is not going to instantly start up all at once. It will be done in phases. Many businesses will not come back. Not sure who is turning their back on the elderly and leaving them to die. I'm sure their are always some that do.
Correct Bob, the people in the high risk groups should shelter in place if that's what they choose. The problem most have with this is choice went out the window. Freedom left town. That's when corruption starts by some who mandate what is essential and non-essential business.
It will be very interesting to see the outcomes with all these lawsuits piling up against Governors and stay at home orders.
Newsom is back at it again.
This time closing all Californian Beaches and State Parks.

Luckily in Florida we have an incredible Governor and County Commissioners who are reopening most of the state by Monday. Some beaches opened yesterday and more tomorrow. Naturally I made my way to one yesterday to enjoy my American Freedom. Everyone followed the rules and parking lot filled up quickly. People want to get out.
Restaurants and retail stores are reopening Monday at 25% capacity inside and more outside with 6 feet between tables. The only areas not included are the 3 counties near Miami and Ft Lauderdale due to high infection rates and for being liberal assholes.
In some parts of the country sanity is returning, but the economic damage has already been done.
It's getting Real in Michigan.
Protesters inside the Capitol Building.
Some with Guns!!

No, idiot. I'm comparing deaths to deaths. 40K people a year are killed on our highways. We can save those lives by banning driving. 40K lives a year. If you are so concerned about saving lives as you pretend you are over coronavirus then you would want to save lives by banning driving.
But my point is you libtards are perfectly content to allow deaths on the highways so you can continue to drive but want everyone to give up their freedom to save lives from coronavirus. It's phony.
A Dallas salon owner will spend a week in jail after she was found in contempt of court Tuesday for violating an order to close her salon during the coronavirus pandemic.
She refused to apologize,
“Feeding my kids is not selfish,” she told Moyé. “If you think the law is more important than kids getting fed, then please go ahead with your decision, but I am not going to shut the salon.”

This is the same dumb version of an argument I've heard many times. I have used it for arguments about conservatives and weed. Carter said back way when, that punishment should not be more severe than negative effects of the crime. To this day, it has been liberal states that allow such a basic freedom. You can look at people who die of strokes then make this argument about pizza. "libtards" says the genius.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. If government did nothing and let this thing go full bore to save our economy and I worked in medicine - you'd see me give the ol finger to society for a year and chill out. There is so much more than simple death rates, and we'll never know how bad it'd been if we'd followed Trump and his assinine 'its a hoax' bullshit. It is going to get worse though. His son (well, Kushner), chief contender for the anti-christ is getting his grubby hands into that big pot of money. Go read about how evil that guy is and how he continually fucked over poor people with hism rental practices. Dude is straight up evil.
At least I'm not a genius like you. Didn't bother to refute one thing I said.. :) Feeble-minded man, shoo.
Sorry about the Kushner thing. Honestly it didn't belong in this thread. I just read this whistleblower stuff going on. So funny how people worship Trump. Look at his son-in-law. Maybe Hunter Biden got a free job, but thats normal old politics bullshit. Kushner though, is a different class of scumbag, but this isn't the thread for that. lol wanting him in charge of stuff. I could understand a populace being so bamboozled if it was China or Russia, neither who have a functioning press. We however do have one, and people still aren't up in arms about fucktard Kushner being in the middle of this.
Trump should have been on top of testing from the very beginning. Having tests verifying each other tests so we could determine which ones we can even begin to trust. This is real simple stuff to me. This is also beyond Trump's comprehension.
Instead lets remove so much regulation the tests can be effectively meaningless. Ok. I get that. Thats not a bad move, but then obviously please put people in charge of finding the bs tests.
When you're only testing people with symptoms, it is pretty easy to default to yes and no one even notices. Then they start testing everyone and the numbers are all fucked up. No one knows what is going on. Fail fail fail. The rest of the West isn't so fucking stupid.
