Under a motion passed by the city council in Laredo, Texas, earlier this week, residents in the town can now face a fine of up to $1,000 for not wearing some form of covering on their nose and…thehill.com
Don’t worry let’s just stay on lockdown for another month or two. Yes lives being lost is sad but millions of lives being destroyed for how many?
'A perfect storm': US facing hunger crisis as demand for food banks soars

We stay in lockdown till then. Then say hello to civil unrest and a depression most will not want to live thru.
It’s better than telling people it’s all a big liberal media hoax and it will magically disappear by Easter ?
We’ll be fine.
This post just reinforces my earlier point.
I hope you are right Shaggy. I work in the manufacturing, construction, automotive, trucking industries and govt. Just this morning I have had many and I mean many that are being laid off and hours cut in half with not being paid while off. All said they are not happy and resentment is growing. A couple said they will take care of selves first if comes down to it. The division in America is growing each day this goes on. I am not one of just a few feeling this way. It’s much more than many want to believe. Let’s all hope it’s over 1st of May.
The point is it’s a lot better than doing literally nothing and it CAN be enforced, if for example you’re not an essential worker and traveling out of state, you could be ticketed, fined, or thrown in jail. Even without strict enforcement, the mere thought or possibility of something like this is more than enough to scare many people away and it also gives workers (like my grandmother for ex) who are at risk, a legal reason to work from home in case her employer decides to not obey the stay at home order. I have to carry documentation anywhere I go now to show that I’m an essential employee or else I’ll risk gettinf pulled over and ticketed, that’s not me that mandated this either, came straight down from the president of Harris Teeter
And this post backs up what I said. You are always right and everyone else is wrong. That is your thinking and attitude and always will be.
Yeah... because ya know that could save hundreds of thousands of lives. I thought republicans like you were supposed to be pro life? ?
Have you ever considered that this is because I probably have a stronger opinion than you do and am a legitimately reasonable person that doesn’t want the country to suddenly get back to work at the expense of hundreds of thousands of innocent lives? No it never could be something so reasonable, it has to be because I’m just mean spirited! Alas, I should quit feeding the “animals” & probably get back to the CoV-19 thread
Actually all of my family, siblings and mom all believe it would be better to let nature take its course. When it’s your time its your time. It’s better than being homeless and poverty and hungry. To see futures of millions suffering for years but we will be fine. I hope you all are right and will remember that.
You do realize that hundreds of thousands of innocent lives are also being ruined from this virus not just by death.
“... it would be better to let nature take its course. When it’s your time it’s your time.”
I’m actually independent.
You say these things because I don’t fear death and believe when it’s my time it’s my time? I’m considered insane? That’s liberal thinking. You have to believe their way and not have an opinion. I don’t really know you Web but I am not going to stoop to your level of name calling.
I support all those industries. Hydraulics.
There’s a difference between having an opinion and completely ignoring actual quotes, facts, figures and being just plain wrong... like all the time.
I actually have asthma and diverticulitis. My mom survivor of cancer and diabetes and 74yo. She goes out as normal. Brother in law is lucky to be alive he has heart disease, high -- and diabetes and is in poor health. He goes out every day and does not let it stop or scare him. We don’t let fear of death drive us. We don’t accuse people of being selfish because they want to live their lives.
Actually I help in all those industries when their hydraulics break down. I support them in supply lines and help get them back up and running. 29 years in this business. I actually have many tricons built for the military and have many friends in the military. So no hyperbole. But Ok I’m selfish but you are a narcissists. So we can agree to disagree.
You can’t scare everyone or even a majority for that matter, you can’t completely stop the spread of the virus because it’s so contagious, but these restrictions just like wearing a mask or washing your hands lower the risk and do in fact have a significant, measurable impact in slowing down its spread just enough so that the medical system can catch up. We’re in a much better place than we would be otherwise. That’s really the point.
Please come on. I am not wanting people to die. Don’t put words into my mouth but in the flip side then. So people will not die from depression, hunger and suicides from loss of jobs and incomes? What about those people?
Put words in your mouth? What!? You just outright stated you would rather see people because “it’s their time” just die than go hungry did you not?
You said 10k though after saying only 500 a few weeks before that, and it has taken us less than a week to go much of the way to 10K and now you think 100k is somewhat reasonable?
Nope not at all. Let people choose if they want to go out or not. If people want to go to work or not. If people want to stay at home till the virus passes let them.
