What is insane is the fact that 15 million people have caught covid-19 with over 200000 deaths. If people would have just did the right thing with masks and the 6 foot distancing no lockdown would be needed.

Prove it, prove every single one of them contracted the virus from an individual not wearing a mask in public. You can't. Now do mask help? Maybe but to blame all cases and deaths on those not wearing a stupid mask is as absurd as a 10 pm curfew to mitigate the spread.
In fact, I know of numerous cases where the exposure were coworkers, wearing mask.

That right there could be reason enough to make the lockdown much tighter. NOTHING open except grocery stores and pharmacies along with other absolutely essential things such as doctors offices, hospitals and police.

You know this is going to go round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round

So, I’m trying to figure out the curfew. Is it just an order for businesses to close at 10pm, or is it a true restriction on citizens’ freedom of movement after 10 pm? They are both bad, but the latter would really piss me off. I think curfews are Unamerican.

Per Cooper it's a restriction on citizens...

"It means just what it says: People are to stay at home between those hours," Cooper added in the news conference.

He does have somewhat of a point. Notice he said and and not or. Distancing plays a huge role in preventing it. Unfortunately people weren't willing to be responsible and slow the spread it appears. Sure people want to "live their lives" but don't come crying to those who warned that you could be seriously impacted by covid if you get it. If people can't be responsible and control themselves the government will step in and try to help. Sure it might be ridiculous but that's what irresponsibility comes with. Don't complain to the government first, complain to your irresponsible neighbors who act like there's nothing going around and aren't trying to prevent getting it or spreading it.

What do you think will happen as soon as the lockdown is over or loosened? Take a guess.

Way too much blame being thrown around when no one knows all the facts. I'll stop because it will just go round and round but y'all keep pointing fingers and pushing for more government control.

Maybe for a single incident or cause but with nearly 3 million deaths last year, that's an avg of well over 7k a day in the US. We just don't track all of them like we do in a pandemic

Maybe not this time since we now have vaccines in the works. If they prove successful things can be eased up and we can maybe get close to normal again. That may be 8-10 months away though.

Millions of human beings cannot be expected to remain under lockdown indefinitely. It won't happen. That's just a fact. And who is to say that you won't see a mutation that renders the virus ineffective? And millions will not get the vaccine. We need to start paying attention to what's going on around us instead of cowering in the corner in fear.

Valid points, especially the 1st one. It would be a nightmare if that happened.
